  1. Re:I noticed that they block you on YouTube Loses Major Advertisers Over Offensive Videos (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Noticed something annoying: in most web pages having an embedded youtube video, Fullscreen doesn't work unless you go to the youtube site

    What OS and browser is that? Never saw that in Chrome / Linux

  3. I wonder if they just compromised enough accounts via other means in the hopes of passing light scrutiny and $75,000 was the most they thought they might possibly get away with asking for without anyone bothering to take a closer look.

    Or they request 75k for starters, then after being paid, they do make another request, of 10 times that amount.

  4. Funny, but $75k is probably just the amount of money Apple gives to a secretary as a yearly bonus. Meaning not a big deal. Meaning, if Apple pays the hackers will likely ask even more...

  5. Maybe the article is wrong and they didn't requested $75k, they requested BC75k instead, which does translate to a quite big amount of $$.

    Hate Gnome. Love Unity.

    It is left as an exercise for the reader to make a sarcastic quip about systemd.

    I have one: people complain about Gnome. Maybe the reason is because Gnome is not part of systemd?

    the CEO is an a-hole.

    Change your laws.

    NZ would not change their laws, as the far away country makes whatever possible to attract businesses. However, import duties, VAT and GST on Apple expensive products give their fair share of tax revenue.

  11. Re:Counts sharing, not use. Javascript always shar on RedMonk Identifies 2017's Most Popular Languages: JavaScript, Java, And Python (redmonk.com) · · Score: 1

    Most popular among "being used in development" are Javascript, Java, C# and PHP according to stackoverflow tags.

    The most popular hamburgers worldwide are Mac Donald's. Does that make them better?

    Use an extension like this one that gives IMDb ratings on the Netflix page.

  22. Re:guys will eat anything on Most People Would Give Lab-Grown Meat a Try, New Survey Reveals (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    then you don't understand what lab grown meat is, it is the actual meat grown without the rest of the animal, it isn't more concentrated or unnatural.

    then you don't understand that when men try to grow something artificially there is always a difference compared to the naturally grown thing.

  23. "designed to test the surge protection circuitry" on That Laptop-Bricking USB Stick Just Got Even More Dangerous (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Liars. Designed to deceive people and destroy electronics, otherwise a clearly visible "DO NOT USE" mention would be written on the stick.

  24. Re:guys will eat anything on Most People Would Give Lab-Grown Meat a Try, New Survey Reveals (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 1

    Why do you assume it will cause more?

    Because cancer is more likely triggered when human cells meet unnatural substances, or in an extraordinary concentration. The human body had millions of years to get used to natural elements in a given concentration. The lab-grown meat is welcome in both unnatural and "high concentration" categories.

    Unfortunately the bad effects of eating such meat will likely not be known before years (cancers...).
