  1. Re:By my calculations on Clinton Plan To Power Every US Home With Renewables By 2027 Is Achievable · · Score: 1

    ...approximately 17 trips through time.

    The average cat gets just over half that...

  2. Re:Maybe someday on Researchers Create Mac "Firmworm" That Spreads Via Thunderbolt Ethernet Adapters · · Score: 5, Informative

    I vaguely remember the day when chips were socketed, exactly for that inevitability. Updates are more expensive that way, but it all depends on how secure you want to be. Remote updates will never, ever be secure. It is nothing but a perpetual cat and mouse game.

  3. They will make a chip that can only be written to one time. They can call it, "read only". What a concept!

  4. Blame the ISPs on The Web We Have To Save · · Score: 4, Interesting

    They prefer a one way connection, so they restrict services and uploading. They are working hard to turn the internet into TV, with little to no resistance from their customers.

    You forgot one:

  6. Re:And it all comes down to greed on Sociologist: Job Insecurity Is the New Normal · · Score: 1

    Greed by itself may not be so bad. Mix it with the antipathy and sociopathy that has become highly rewarded in the business, and you got a problem

  7. Re:Good business on Uber Invests $1 Billion In Indian Market · · Score: 0

    Soon all drivers in the country will require an 'Uber' certification and medallion issued by the state. I'm sure the price will remain reasonable.

  8. Export controls on China To Impose Export Control On High Tech Drones and Supercomputers · · Score: 2

    Well, that's definitely good for business. Guess we'll just have to settle for American Made.

  9. Re:Good business on Uber Invests $1 Billion In Indian Market · · Score: 0

    Yeah? Whose pockets?

  10. Re:Good business on Uber Invests $1 Billion In Indian Market · · Score: 1

    All depends where the money goes...

    These people are delusional along with their investors.

  12. Re:Good business on Uber Invests $1 Billion In Indian Market · · Score: 2

    And create an Uber cartel that simply outbids the taxi drivers for government... ah.. services... yeah... that's it

  13. Re: Sure you can. on Ask Slashdot: Can You Disable Windows 10's Privacy-Invading Features? · · Score: 5, Funny

    But at least you still have Solitaire. This could be the tipping point we've been waiting for.

  14. Watch out! on Facebook's Slender 'Aquila' Drone To Provide Internet In Remote Areas · · Score: 1

    Those 5-cent coins are made out of wood! They'll light right up!

  15. Re:Note to self on Japanese Police Arrest Mount Gox CEO Mark Karpeles · · Score: 1

    The idea is nice. The execution is a pure scam by just another startup.. These people have been pegged, but the con still works. I saw it on the subway every day. There is no human endeavor, from atomic to galactic, that works as well as the shell game.

  16. Solitaire is the only reason to use Windows on In Windows 10, Ad-Free Solitaire Will Cost You $10 -- Every Year · · Score: 2

    Shit! May as well buy a Mac now.

  17. Note to self on Japanese Police Arrest Mount Gox CEO Mark Karpeles · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't trust private currencies from hucksters such as these guys. Their business is based on pure FUD. Play it safe with the government of your choice, one that has its millions of citizens ready and willing to back it up.

  18. Re:Avoid companies that are there just to IPO on Silicon Valley's Big Lie · · Score: 1

    That's the nature and purpose of your regular everyday Wall Street pyramid/ponzi scheme.

  19. Silicon Valley on Silicon Valley's Big Lie · · Score: 1

    Just another gold rush, with all the same hustlers you see everywhere else. The Big Lie always works on virtually everybody. Everybody go home now, nothing to see here, *everything is fine*

  20. Warner may let this one go on "Happy Birthday" Public Domain After All? · · Score: 2

    Maybe finally, there is a noticeable public backlash against indefinite copyright, and they are doing this to pacify that. The trick usually works.

  21. includes an element of theater. on Questioning the Dispute Over Key Escrow · · Score: 1

    Understatement of the the century!

  22. Re:MenuChoice and HAM (1992) on The Weird History of the Microsoft Windows Start Button · · Score: 1

    Hey! You ever work graveyard for ten years? The guy asked a question! Alright? I was probably at a Cubs game when the announcement came over the wire (I would have to check to see if they played at home that day), or I was watching Munster reruns. Things get a little fuzzy. I'm sorry!

  23. Re:It's coming. Watch for it.. on Munich Planning Highway System For Cyclists · · Score: 1

    So when I get in my 18-wheeler and plow through your car, it's cool.

    Well, using a truck to occupy the same space at the same time as the car is highly discouraged in civil society, but natural law is in your favor.

  24. Re:Why would premiums drop? on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1

    I have 0 accidents, 0 claims and 0 tickets on my record.

    Well, as far as they see it, you're way overdue...

  25. Re:Balancing Act on Will Autonomous Cars Be the Insurance Industry's Napster Moment? · · Score: 1

    Autonomous cars will probably not be able to get away with a zero liability claim...

    If a car has a greater liability claim against the operator than an elevator, then it is not 'autonomous', it is assisted driving.
