  1. Re:Translated on 132-Year-Old Science Experiment Washes Ashore In Australia (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't that be "send more rum"?

    Mmmm Rum...

  2. Re:Solving the problem through random numbers on Court Orders ISP To Hand Identities Behind 5,300 IP Addresses To Copyright Trolls (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    The MAC address of the router would be visible, but not of the computer, as that is not passed outside the local network (for the most part...).

  3. A light year is based upon the length of the orbit of the Earth around the Sun. Therefore it is just as much a derived unit.

  4. Re: Pushing towards any different than pushing awa on Women Still Underrepresented in Information Security (betanews.com) · · Score: 1
  5. That would be quite the trippy movie. That series was pretty mind bending to read, I can only imagine it would be even worse to watch.

  6. (aside from some overlap with the original at the end of Rogue One, which merely added detail and did not attempt to alter it or retell the story)

    I might need to see it again, but I got the impression that the end of Rogue One had no overlap with the beginning of A New Hope. It seemed that Leah's ship escaping led right into it being captured.

  7. I would love to see someone try and develop some of the Ringworld series. Snow Crash into Diamond age would be pretty good as well. Perhaps Gibson's catalog would be pretty good too.

  8. Re: Android pretending to be iphone on Kickstarter Campaign Aims To Add a Full Android Device To the Back of Your iPhone (macrumors.com) · · Score: 1

    I could set up a playlist of music videos on the iPhone and play it in my car,

    This right here is illegal in the US. Any video playing that the driver can see is illegal. Why do you need videos for in the car at all? Why not just play the music?

  9. My analogy is:

    It is like having sex when you are unsure if your partner has any STDs, so you wear a condom to protect yourself.

  10. Re:Couldn't happen in the US on Police Allegedly Threaten A UK Photographer With Seizure Of All His Computers (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    The EO was even implementing a law passed by congress. I still don't get why the courts were able to stop it, it wasn't even unconstitutional in any way.

  11. Re: Offsite backups become more and more important on Police Allegedly Threaten A UK Photographer With Seizure Of All His Computers (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1

    Not in the US. The maximum in the US is two terms (actually it can be two and a partial if you were the VP of a P that died).

    Of course they exist...

  13. As far as I can tell, no party has voted on that yet. This is a committee, not the entire House or Senate.

  14. Re:Those emails, though on New Bill Would Allow Employers To Demand Genetic Testing From Workers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    I see no misrepresentation, that comment was exactly on point, it describes to a T what she did.

  15. Re:How their buttons work... on New Bill Would Allow Employers To Demand Genetic Testing From Workers (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Not mother, but "That's what she said" fits quite well.

  16. Re:If you want to stay anonymous on MAC Address Randomization Flaws Leave Android and iOS Phones Open To Tracking (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to burn the OTP, and to mix the ashes up.

  17. Re: For those who don't know... on Blogger Wins Libel Damages Over Columnist's Tweets (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    As "they" had a child, I think it is a pretty much given that "they" are a female. God, that pronoun use is clumsy.

  18. Re:If Trump has proven anything... on Blogger Wins Libel Damages Over Columnist's Tweets (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I can't determine which is which in your characterizations, as they both apply to both of the candidates. /sarcasm

  19. Re:One negative discovery after another on Alphabet's Waymo Asks Judge To Block Uber From Using Self-Driving Car Secrets (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Toyota sells diesels in the US? When did that happen?

  20. Very likely it is an injunction to stop them using the technology until the court case is settled. That is pretty standard in many intellectual property lawsuits. Such as: https://www.wsj.com/articles/S...

    This is a way of saying "you stole our ideas, so stop using them and continuing to rack up damages".

  21. Re: "Finding LRO was relatively easy" on NASA Finds Lunar Spacecraft That Vanished 8 Years Ago (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    35 meters isn't that far...

    Yup, beautiful state. For the East Coast, it is always where the weather man stands.

  23. Re:Weird, a broken mic is why I replaced my Nexus on Google Confirms Small Number of Pixel Phones Have Broken Microphones (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    According to The Fine Summary, you are in the clear as the problem was recognized and corrected in January.

  24. Yeah, I can recall the last fault in another manufacturer's phone where they kept denying the problem and deleting forum threads about the issue. Then there was the other time where everyone was told they were holding their phones wrong to cover for a manufacturing defect.
