  1. Re:How easy it would be to... on Meet URL, the USB Porn-Sniffing Dog (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Why do you assume this is about the poster.... maybe you are someone, running for Mayor. Or perhaps own a company bidding on a large construction contract.

  2. Re:Who wants this? on Adobe Resurrects Flash Player On Linux (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    The thing that made me get rid of flash was that sites like youtube would default to flash, and I was having so many playback issues I canned it.

  3. Re:Who wants this? on Adobe Resurrects Flash Player On Linux (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Nobody cares about that crap.

  4. Re:Have to lie down in the bed you make on Confirmed: In an Unprecedented Move, Samsung Recalls All Galaxy Note 7 (yna.co.kr) · · Score: 1

    With the right desoldering/soldering tools it won't take any extra time to replace the battery... just an inconvenience for the consumer. Either way it will have to be sold as 'refurbished'.

  5. Re:Failure on the *pad* not the rocket on Falcon 9 Explodes On Pad (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Should be plenty of data about the explosion ...

  6. Re:Decimal Numbers? on Slashdot Asks: What Are Your Favorite Java 8 Features? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    no it's "in tents with porpoises"

  7. Re:I'd prefer if facebook on Study: 33% of Facebook Users Want Less News In Their Feed (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    It's easy. I got rid of 100% of facebook news by deleting my facebook account. Works like a charm!

  8. Re:Every word is undermined.. on FBI Director Says Prolific Default Encryption Hurting Government Spying Efforts (go.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    pretty much lost all credibility with blatantly unconstitutional seizure laws

  9. 2/3 are happy or want more on Study: 33% of Facebook Users Want Less News In Their Feed (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    EOM

  10. Re:Honestly never heard of this Grumpy Cat on Grumpy Cat Wants $600K From 'Pirating' Coffee Maker (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Not to mention it is one of the 'better' memes, IMHO.

  11. Re:news that matters? on Welcome To Alphanumeric Car Hell (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I think that's the point though...we are in post marketing times and people just don't care what the car is named and car makers are acting accordingly.

  12. Re:What?! Sense from Tesla? on Tesla To Further Restrict Its Autopilot Software To Prevent Accidents (electrek.co) · · Score: 1

    The whole 'shared responsibility' idea is deeply flawed- AI interacting with human foibles is a recipe for disaster. I much prefer Google's all or nothing approach and they have logged a million+ miles with only a few minor accidents.

  13. Re:Oh no! on Apple Is Making Life Terrible In Its Factories (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Milk is not popular in Asia, most are lactose intolerant. Not sure about China but in Japan drinking milk and eating dairy products are viewed with disgust. So maybe milk is a bad example.

  14. Re:Scrutiny on Apple Is Making Life Terrible In Its Factories (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Yes but when they cause narcissistic injury to all those apple fanbois they have gone over the line....

  15. Rabbit turd meat in a jiffy.

  16. Re:Why do we even have congress? on White House Is Planning To Let More Foreign Entrepreneurs Work In the US (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    A nation with no laws is no longer a nation.

  18. Re:mindset issue on HP Hit With Age-Discrimination Suit Claiming Old Workers Purged (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    Good managers shield their subordinates from this upper management bs. Just a guess but companies where upper management is not right out of Dilbert are pretty rare.

  19. Aren't prunes used to purge old workers?

  20. A cynic could claim that the poor will be subsidizing the preservation of wealthy people's waterfront properties with higher energy and food costs.

  21. Re:Pierson's Puppeteers on Global Warming Started 180 Years Ago Near Beginning of Industrial Revolution, Says Study (smh.com.au) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not to mention that nobody talks about positive effects of global warming... will increased atmospheric moisture turn the southwest or the sahara into arable land? We don't really know.

  22. Thunderstorms are humongous elevators that dump heat in to space.

  23. Re:Driving in reverse on Apple Under Tim Cook: More Socially Responsible, Less Visionary (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, you no longer have to rape your phone with a 'jack' to listen to music. And apple makes more money. That's progress!
