  1. Billboard on Has the Great 'Moonrush' Begun? (thespacereview.com) · · Score: 1

    Mining? I don't know about you guys, but I see great potential to use the moon as a huge billboard to place ads. Is there any treaty against that?

  2. Re:Age of the Pussies? on 'Sending Astronauts To Mars Would be Stupid' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Adding up to the Illuminati-lizard-people conspiranoid theories, this

  3. Re: Smart microphones on China Internet Report 2018 (abacusnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Sure, mate, it was free, just like Facebook.

  4. Re:Well, fuck. on 'A Fresh, Clean Look.' Gmail Is About To Get a Makeover (fortune.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Zoho is pretty decent, IMHO. In fact, the whole Zoho Suite is very interesting.

  5. As long as you can afford to pay for an expensive enough group of lawyers to make it happen... What is really sad about this is that they could have used some of these $57.423 million to fund an open source project/startup to develop a replacement, but now I guess Larry will be buying another yacht.

  6. Re:Will Microsoft employees delete Windows 7/10? on Nearly a Third of Tech Workers Are Ready To #DeleteFacebook (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Not to mention Google employees. If Facebook is a creepy data-hoarding company, Google is worse and virtually ubiquitous. The whole summary is a joke in itself.

  7. Re:Sadly true on New York Times CEO: Print Journalism Has Maybe Another 10 Years (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Serial reading is sooo outdated. You should try our new hyper-threaded cloud-based, reading technique (Charges per eye may apply).

  8. I just hope they don't discontinue the service while I'm still in the past.

  9. Re:Mars tax avoidance on Elon Musk To Stay At Tesla For Another Decade (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    This won't work if Tesla is using Skype for Business. I'm totally unable to picture a conf call with software that barely works on Earth.

  10. You know, there's no cellphone signal in a bunker.

  11. North Korea on The Tech Failings of Hawaii's Missile Alert · · Score: 2

    I really hope North Korean UI designers made a separate button for "Wipe Seoul Off the Face of the Earth" and "Test Wipe Seoul Off the Face of the Earth"

  12. Re:Pop-ups... on SourceForge Debuts New UI and GitHub Sync Tool (sourceforge.net) · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? There's a huge tab called "Code" in every project page. If that's a pain for you to find, I can't imagine how painful it is to read the actual code. Also, I think most people want to know what's the project about (the summary) and perhaps see a few screenshots, the code, for most users, is secondary.

  13. Yeah, that's a lot, about 3.5 nuke plants, and is enough power for some small countries like Denmark or Ireland or Cuba

    And more importantly, you can go back to the future almost 4 times!

  14. That's the point, genius. Some of us don't care about your fancy streaming services. We just want a simple, low-memory-footprint mp3 player. This one doesn't seem to be that kind of player, though. I'll stick to Audacious for now.

  15. Forget the power lines on Why Is Anime Obsessed With Power Lines? (atlasobscura.com) · · Score: 1

    What about the schoolgirls in short skirts?

  16. Re:SMS messages were invented by a genius. on Texting Is 25 Years Old (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    There's an interesting story behind why the number of characters is limited to 160 in SMS.

  17. Re:Correct me if I am wrong... on Nasdaq Plans To Offer Bitcoin Futures In Early 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You didn't think the US government printed (and re-printed) their dollars with printers powered by solar panels and recycled paper, did you?

  18. Re:It stop itself on The Feds Are Officially Cracking Down on Basement Biohackers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    You are right. However, some of these 20-somethings might be really smart (or lucky). Odds are against them, but 0,000001% chance of success is still better than nothing.

  19. Re:It stop itself on The Feds Are Officially Cracking Down on Basement Biohackers (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Or, hopefully, some/many will get cured. This is unregulated human experimentation, it can go horribly wrong... or not.

  20. So, your friends/family/coworkers call you to your fixed line for you to turn your cellphone on and be able to talk with them?

  21. That's nothing. I carry around my cellphone without battery. Track that, Google!

  22. I, for one, will root for him on Flat Earther Plans To Launch Homemade Manned Rocket (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I do wish him to succeed. I like people who are not afraid to get their hands dirty and actually build stuff.

  23. So, like hippie communes, but with hipsters.

  24. Re:What happens when.. on Hackers Say They've Broken Face ID a Week After iPhone X Release (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously you need to take backups of your face on a regular basis, like, you know, 3D-print plastic, silicone masks with makeup and simple paper cutouts. Duh.

  25. Re:Wish we had that here on The Booming Japanese Rent-a-Friend Business (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Dude, you just need to rent a house, not a father.
