  1. Re:How many planets do you want on Pluto Should Be Reclassified as a Planet, Experts Say (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    120 elements, you forgot deuterium and tritium

  2. Re:It'll take a show with a larger audience to mat on China Blocks HBO After John Oliver's Last Week Tonight Mockery of Xi Jinping (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    I dismiss it because it’s funny. We probably can’t have that kind of people too

  3. Re:First name? pffft on The One-Name Email, a Silicon Valley Status Symbol, Is Wreaking Havoc (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    There is some (recent ?) rule it must be 2 letters. Once I couldn't unsubscribe my 1 letter email address from a commercial mail list because it couldn't be 1 letter. My domain is my first name so a first name address would be lame.

  4. Re:You are the product on Facebook Gave Device Makers Deep Access To Data On Users and Friends (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe but the product was given away for free. I was surprised to hear that Facebook was in control of nothing.

  5. Re: I use Chrome for Discord and that's it on 'Why I'm Switching From Chrome To Firefox and You Should Too' (fastcodesign.com) · · Score: 1

    So by now Firefox is the new Opera, maybe they will also get special code to crash their browser.

  6. Re:I don't understand why you tolerate it on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Here in Belgium maybe one a month, Robinson but no such thing as spam-call filtering with my provider, go figure

  7. Re:I don't understand why you tolerate it on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Indeed 80% is much. I get calls from the Indian Microsoft employee informing me ... but for the rest most is under control as I am on the Robinson list

  8. It's about 100 cats on Are Google's Cat-Loving Employees Killing Burrowing Owls? (seattletimes.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    " To date, GCat has rescued, fostered and homed over 100 adoptable cats and kittens."

  9. Re:The Facebook business model is broken on Audit Approved of Facebook Policies, Even After Cambridge Analytica Leak (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    The Cambridge Analytica leak shows us that Facebook has surprisingly no clue or hold on their assets. If user data is the product, that product is freely harvested by third parties outside the control of Facebook.

  10. Most crowd funding projects have better sites, CAD than this. Luckily with 3 years left it's more rocket science than aeronautics like the F35 stuff

  11. Re:What's with all the stories about the moon? on How To Watch the 'Super Blue Blood Moon' Lunar Eclipse (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    Only 7% bigger than 'normal'. Put it close to the horizon and it will look bigger.

  12. Re:How to watch the superman lunar eclipse on How To Watch the 'Super Blue Blood Moon' Lunar Eclipse (livescience.com) · · Score: 1

    The summer was also not so long ago, so that summer outfit is also good to go, as long as it is warm enough.

  13. Re:Does anyone really care on Linus Finally Releases Linux 4.15 Kernel, Blames Intel For Delay (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    Today in Linux, tomorrow in Android

  14. Re:Is fitbit management insane? on Fitbit Will End Support For Pebble Smartwatches In June (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    On December 7, 2016, Pebble officially announced that the company would be shut down and would no longer manufacture or continue support for any devices, nor honor any existing warranties.

  15. Reminds me of Buffalo Bill's Wild West/Indians Attacking the Overland Mail Coach. Send those losers to their new piece of desert.

  16. Re:19 Gal/day is not out on Will Cape Town be the First City To Run Out of Water? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm not as young as I used to be, so 19 gals a day is plenty.

    I was thinking the same thing,

    gal: a term used to refer to a girl or woman

  17. Re:Not my Chinese friends on Chinese Workers Abandon Silicon Valley for Riches Back Home (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Not my American friends , they recently moved to Silicon Valley

  18. Re:To Implement Chinese Versions Of... on Chinese Workers Abandon Silicon Valley for Riches Back Home (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Too late, all the versions are already in China, they are just cutting the middleman.

  19. Re: Cuba [Re:The wonders of the free market] on Microsoft's Meltdown and Spectre Patch Is Bricking Some AMD PCs (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Cuba is not a good example of "no free market"

    Because the US doesn't allow trade with Cuba, so as a US citizen you are not allowed to access that market.

  20. Re:Mud slinging? on White House Bans Use of Personal Devices From West Wing (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Unrelated, one is all lies and the other is about recorded conversations

  21. I thought it was the 4th moon in a season, so it should be just before a solstice or an equinox. No way Jan 31 is a blue moon.

  22. Re:In today's world anyone can be called a nazi on A Reporter Built a Bot To Find Nazi Sock Puppet Accounts. Twitter Banned the Bot and Kept the Nazis (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    With 'other semites' I mean arabs ( Semites: a member of any of the peoples who speak or spoke a Semitic language, including in particular the Jews and Arabs.), otherwise I would have said Jews.

  23. Re:In today's world anyone can be called a nazi on A Reporter Built a Bot To Find Nazi Sock Puppet Accounts. Twitter Banned the Bot and Kept the Nazis (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Many antisemitic messages are written by other semites. Calling semites nazis is confusing, we could call them racists. I don't know the Chief Rabbi of the UK is he Ashkenaz and Sephardim. But for all I know he could be a racist as there are some structural indicators. So we could have other racists impersonating a racist, that's still confusing.

  24. Re:Contradiction on Republican's 'Net Neutrality' Proposal Called 'Bait and Switch' (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree.

  25. Re: Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on The Neon Glow of Tokyo Modified Car Culture (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    Itâ(TM)s a statement. Personally, I only modify/own/use stuff that is cheap enough or already damaged.
