  1. HIPPA Compliance on Microsoft Has Your Encryption Key If You Use Windows 10 (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2

    Does MS having a copy of a WIndows 10 Pro bitlocker key for a PC in a small medical office violate HIPPA or is the issue moot?

  2. Medical technology pace on Interviews: Ask Ray Kurzweil a question · · Score: 1

    How long before the technology to rebuild human telomers will become practical and affordable to all, so that the maximum human lifespan would exceed 120 years?

  3. Re:This article is awful on The Reason a Surface Phone Won't Fix Microsoft's Mobile Problem (windows10update.com) · · Score: 1

    Satanic monkeys running any corporate department is not a good thing.

  4. I would mod you up but you said "awesome sauce". That and "cool beans" do not belong in any person's vocabulary. Otherwise, you show great wisdom.

  5. Episode 8 on Star Wars Pulls In $1 Billion At Record Speed (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    The next one should be directed by Whedon and be call Scruffy the Vampire Slayer, with vampires of course. People would still go see it.

  6. Re:Microsoft need to just get it on Microsoft CMO Confirms Development of 'Spiritual Equivalent' of Surface Phone (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    If Google had Chromebooks and boxes that supported USB printing in an easy to setup way Windows would slowly fade into the sunset.

  7. Their DataLink was a fantastic wristwatch in 1998. I stored my contact list on it. Microsoft abandons good products for pie in the sky ones too often.

  8. It's free kids. Give it a try. on Facebook's Free Basics App Has Been Temporarily Banned in India (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll take free Internet access even if it's based around Facebook's version of the web. You can still get things done, get email, etc. The government of India may be pandering to, or paid by, India's ISP's to bend to their will. The excuse about lack of net neutrality is nonsense. This seems to be the Facebook version of AOL, only without the floppy disks or $22 per month charge.

  9. Why on TSA Body Scanner Opt-out No Longer Guaranteed (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does the useless and hateful TSA still exist? We need to get rid of this oppressive "security" force.

  10. An odd thing to do on Smallest Color Picture Ever Printed Fits Inside a Human Hair (www.ethz.ch) · · Score: 1

    This is so strange. A picture that only tiny organisms can enjoy, or not.

  11. Re: Tax Inversion on Tim Cook Calls Apple's Tax Questions 'Political Crap' (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Corporate lawyers seem to like to play catch me if you can.

  12. Re:Age ain't nothing but a number on UK Police Busts Karaoke 'Gang' For Sharing Songs You Can't Buy (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone must think that older middle age folks and young seniors are incapable of comprehending intellectual law and using technology.

  13. Turn it off. Problem solved. on Israeli Firm Creates a Device That Can Hack Any Nearby Phone (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    I turn Wi-Fi off when I'm heading out and turn Bluetooth on so it works in my car. At home I do the reverse. This was done to extend battery life. Now, there appear to be additional reasons to turn off Wi-Fi. Who needs to have their phone brute force attacked by mindless thugs via Wi-Fi?

  14. Re:Karma! It IS a bitch! on "Most Hated Man In America" Martin Shkreli Arrested On Suspicion of Fraud (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Your comment is likely true. However, it's assholes like Shkreli that make life more difficult than it needs to be for most people, whether his dealing were in the financial or pharmaceutical industries. His kind is not welcome in free society. He personifies what is wrong with the US today.

  15. Dark matter may lie just past the moon on China Launches Dark Matter Space Probe (nature.com) · · Score: 2

    Check this link to find out where dark matter may lie in earth's neighborhood twice the distance to the moon. http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/n...

  16. Re:Keep losing it on China Launches Dark Matter Space Probe (nature.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We think that we do know where some dark matter proably is. A scientist at NASA's jet propulsion lab has calculated that dark matter strands lie past the moons orbit. Here's a link http://www.jpl.nasa.gov/news/n...

  17. Learning to code meaningfully in an hour would be like learning calculus in an hour. It's not gonna happen. Stop with the gimmicks. Obama and Cameron can't code.

  18. I think a thunk is a thought I had some time ago.

  19. Ballmer Ballmer Ballmer on Carly Fiorina Says Government Needs a Way To "Work Around" Encryption (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe Steve Ballmer should run for President. He's was a more competent CEO than Carly, at least a more enthusiastic one. Plus, he can outspend Donald Trump and certainly out shout him.

  20. Re:Philips just fell off my vendor list on Lightbulb DRM: Philips Locks Purchasers Out of 3rd-Party Bulbs With New Firmware (techdirt.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I don't believe that this action by Phillips is arbitrary. Some corporate genius figured that they have you hooked and that you have no options other than to bend to their will when buying light bulbs. They're wrong. I will never buy a Philips bulb again.

  21. It's all just for show on A Typo Almost Derailed Paris Climate Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The intention of the summit was to provide an unenforceable agreement so that current administrations around the world could claim they "care and are doing something".

  22. Re:familiar on Persistent Storm Detected On Low-Mass Star (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    What post Dice /.? The site is owned by DHI Group. Their logo is the same as the Dice logo of old. So, no change in owner, just an owner name change.

  23. Something we don't care about on Microsoft (Briefly) Reveals New Extensions For Edge, Including Reddit and Pinterest (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    First, no one uses Edge as their sole brower. It doesn't work with all websites yet. Second, who cares about Pinterest and Reddit extensions? That's just weird.

  24. Building in the desert on Faraday Future Selects Las Vegas As Home For $1B Electric Car Factory (autoblog.com) · · Score: 1

    Putting a new car factory in the desert smacks of stupidity to me.

  25. Promises on AT&T Building Massive Fiber Network That Barely Exists (techdirt.com) · · Score: 1

    Promises without a timeline is rhetoric only. These guys act like a married man that keeps promising his wife that he'll fix a squeak in the floor, then steps around it to make sure he doesn't hear it again.
