  2. #metoo public relations for the investors on Gorilla Glass-Maker Plans To Produce Glass Suitable For Folding iPhones (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Judging by the sheer number of blogs and news sites that have picked up this story, they've certainly gotten a yooge amount of PR out of just telling people that they might one day do something.

  3. âoeDespite extreme heat, no light, minuscule nutrition and intense pressure...â So Amazon are moving their warehouses underground?

  9. Why do I need this... on New Chips Could Bring Deep Learning Algorithms To Your Smartphone · · Score: 1

    ... when I have Google, Facebook, the NSA, GCHQ, etc. doing the heavy lifting for me already? What's more, they can link their algorithms together to develop even greater insight than some quad or octo core chip in my hand ever could.

  10. Re:What's wrong with hierarchy? on Meet the 36 People Who Run Wikipedia · · Score: 2

    'slashtots'. Love it. News for babies, diapers that matter.

  11. Re:Someone in the know please explain on Qualcomm Begins Contributing To Reverse-Engineered Freedreno Linux Driver · · Score: 1

    GPU mining of bitcoin is dead. GPU's are still useful things, though.

    So are apostrophe's.

  12. win for viruses on First Teleportation of Multiple Quantum Properties of a Single Photon · · Score: 1

    They need to replicate and distribute. Find the idea that they can benefit from their vectors in novels ways will only be of opportunistic value to them.

  13. Re:Lifetime at 16nm? on Micron Releases 16nm-Process SSDs With Dynamic Flash Programming · · Score: 2

    You must be new here.

  18. Re:Wow... this is actually pretty big on Pixar To Give Away 3D RenderMan Software · · Score: 1

  19. 646 lines of Perl? on No, HealthCare.gov Doesn't Require 500 Million Lines of Code · · Score: 5, Funny

    That much Perl?
    That's probably the whole app there, with each line being around 10,000 characters of obfuscated self-referencing goodness.

    The rest is just quotes from Tolkien.

  20. If your best friend buys an Android... on Apple's Revenge: iMessage Might Eat Your Texts If You Switch To Android · · Score: 1

    Apple.

  21. At what price freedom? on How Does Heartbleed Alter the 'Open Source Is Safer' Discussion? · · Score: 1

    But security and safety are not free, as peoples around the world are already familiar with. Free software in itself, as in the past few days has been laid out to dry by every VC-backed non-open idea factory in the US, is not the reason why you now need to change your passwords. The reasons should be self-evident.

  23. Re:Crashplan on How Do You Backup 20TB of Data? · · Score: 1

  24. Re:What do the humans actually do on a ship? on Rolls Royce Developing Drone Cargo Ships · · Score: 5, Funny

    I remember reading about a plane where there was a crawspace so you could do maintenance

    No, that's where they put the snakes.

  25. Freedom's just... on Translating President Obama's NSA Reform Promises Into Plain English · · Score: 1

    He should have just pulled out a six string and strummed along to Kris Kristofferson. "Freedom's just another word for nothin' left to lose..."
