  1. Re:Population levels and social media on US Suicides Spiked 10 Percent After Robin Williams's Death, Study Finds (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    See for yourself: http://apps.who.int/gho/data/n... Rates are going down in many European countries I checked, but going up in the USA. Rates are generally lower in liberal and wealthy societies and high in autocratic and poor societies.

  2. Why stop at Opera? on Should You Leave Google Chrome For the Opera Browser? (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Vivaldi is more like Opera than Opera itself nowadays

  3. "users cannot just load whatever they want onto the device" --> just like all iOS devices

  4. wouldn't opening up the phone not RELEASE that dormant cyber pathogen?

  5. Bad question on How Long Until We Have a Home Robot That Lives Up To the Hype? · · Score: 1

    Already here, if you adjust the hype according to reality...

  6. Re:So, that answers that... on Google Loses Santa To Bing · · Score: 1

    NORAD, using Microsoft products... Well, at least we know how the world ends.

    The software worries you, but not the fact that they spend their resources to fictionally track a fictional character, possibly making gullible people (children) believe it's real? Makes you wonder what other information they fake, if you're a conspiracy theorist at least. :)

  7. Missing Link on YouTube Is Down · · Score: 2, Funny

    What? No Link?

  9. Re:Is this April 1st? on US Government Using PS3s To Break Encryption · · Score: 4, Informative

    On the old (pre slim) PS3, you can install Linux legally and without any hard or soft mods. This was also possible with the old (pre slim, see the pattern?) PS2, if you bought a hard disk.

  10. Re:Doubt the petition will have much effect. on No Dedicated Servers For CoD: Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 1

    I agree that the no refunds policy is bad, but in the case of Batman:AA, you could've tried the demo before trying the game. That's why they make 'em...

  11. Re:Any applications to TVs? on OLED Breakthrough Yields 75% More Efficient Lights · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Don't wait unless you plan to wait forever. There's always something new and shiny on the horizon!

  12. Re:GPS-based air speed on Investigators Suspect Computers Doomed Air France Jet · · Score: 2, Informative

    Have you thought this out? Why would flying into a headwind speed up the plane? Just sayin'...

    It doesn't speed up, it just faces as much air resistance as it would face flying 150 mph with no wind. That's a quite significant value if you want to figure out if your plane is going to break apart or not...

  13. Re:HAHAHA you will become US China. I mean U.S. on China To Crack Down On "Undesirable" Games · · Score: 1

    [...]The subsequent Chinese generations are going to be just as if not MORE into capitalism and consumerism than today's (just like with the US).[...]
