  1. Why rip audio only... on YouTube-MP3 Ripping Site Sued By IFPI, RIAA and BPI (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    ... when you can rip full video?

  2. Re:28 websites? on Reddit Brings Down North Korea's Entire Internet (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You are a tech site?

  3. After chromebooks... on Emacs 25.1 Released With Tons Of New Features (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 1

    Emacsbooks?

  4. "It's about on par with Tesla Autopilot" on Hacker George Hotz Unveils $999 Self-Driving Add-On (pcmag.com) · · Score: 2

    So it's not a self-driving car. But no surprise here, if Google and other megacorporations cannot do it yet, I doubt a boy in his basement can.

  5. Re:The real reason it works: on A Teenage Hacker Figured Out How To Get Free Data On His Phone (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell the boy's lawyer, this could be his only chance of not being sued, threatening them with this accusation.

  6. Why suddenly do we need water-proof phones? on Apple Cites 'Courage' As Reason To Remove 3.5mm Headphone Jack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    What's this new trend of water-proof phones? Are we preparing for a post-global-warming world where we live in water, like that Kevin Costner's movie?

  7. Is it that ALL the nuclei in the universe point in the same direction, and never move? I don't think so, so why should they identify a privileged time direction?

  8. 51.9 percent on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Should a prime minister resign for such a percentage? So should do its antagonist, if math matters.

  9. Re:So the UK says to the EU... on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    TEXit, you mean.

  10. Re:End of Great Britain? on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Years of Northern Ireland's terrorism was not enough to convince UK to let it go, why should they let it go now?

  11. Or we may ask its inventor on Finnish Scientist Provides Another Explanation For The 'Impossible' EM Drive (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    How did he conceive it in the first place? I mean, surely he didn't invent it by accident, provided that its effects are so little that they must be measured by NASA in their labs, so I presume he knew what he was doing and what physical laws he was looking for. Unless he is an alien or a man from the future and he can not tell us the truth, of course.

  12. Re:They may not be able to open source it on Microsoft Urged to Open Source Classic Visual Basic (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    Or that they feel ashamed of how the code looks like.

  13. These boards are so minimal, you could as well buy a microcontroller with a not too miniaturized package and solder some wires on it.

  14. Re: Non Tesla owner here. on Tesla Model S Owner Claims Vehicle Went Rogue Causing An Accident By Itself (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Ok, now the second question: what the hell is it useful for? Apart going wrong in all the many ways I can imagine?

  15. In tomorrow's news, it will be unveiled that Robert Shawyer is a fake name.

  16. How was it conceived in the first place? on The 'Impossible' EM Drive Being Tested By NASA May Finally Be Explained (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems it was conceived by a single man, who obviously could not test it alone (it takes expensive Nasa facilities, it seems). And yet it seems to work, with much surprise from all the world's most expert scientists. One might wonder if he's an alien, or a man from the future... It 's a perfect science-fiction plot, does anyone know this movie: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  17. Re:Anti-Transgender? Try Anti-Father on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I felt like a big idiot once when in another country, I went to the women's restroom to change my daughter because my wife was busy. I got very bad looks, I tought "well this country must be less tolerant than mine to fathers changing baby's diapers, but I don't give a crap". Then when going out I glanced into the men's restroom and saw a changing station there, too, unlike in my country, and realized the reason of the bad looks.

  18. Re:Hey PayPal, what about Saudi Arabia? on PayPal Pulls North Carolina Plan After Transgender Bathroom Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm quite sure Saudi women cannot shop online without a male guardian, so PayPal is fine there.

  19. Shame on us! on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 1

    It's our fault to not having found the time and energy to converge to some other free alternatives (and there are). With people keeping using what's more convenient at the moment, other programs do not reach the critical mass needed to become useful.

  20. Re:GNU/Linux is unecessary now. on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 1

    Yeah, just keep a couple of cores free to run all the malware.

  21. Re:Just resting, Monthy Python style on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 1

    But hey, now they'll let you run skype for linux on Ubuntu on Windows...

  22. Re:It's Linux-on-the-desktop that's dying. on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So I must be a rarity, I use linux exclusively on my desktops since a dozen years.

  23. I think it's not conceivable that you can make a person steal radioactive material from one of the should-be most guarded structures in the world, and bring it outside under his jacket or in his bag, especially in these post-9/11 times. This could have worked in a 70s movie maybe.

  24. Backdoors! on Pornhub Unveils Free VR Porn Channel (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's hope the NSA does not put a backdoor there!
