  1. Now is the time to invest! on Has the Bitcoin Foundation Run Out of Cash? · · Score: 0

    Now is the time to invest in the Dunning-Krugerrand!

  2. Why the mysterious end of TrueCrypt development? on TrueCrypt Audit: No NSA Backdoors · · Score: 1

    Last year when TrueCrypt developers suddenly threw in the towel, everyone assumed it was because TrueCrypt had been forced been subverted by the NSA, similar to Lavabit. If that's not the case though, as the audit suggests, then why did the developers suddenly quit?

  3. does anyone use the most current version? on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 4, Interesting

    A couple of years ago uTorrent started installing adware with their software as well, and everyone either bailed or went back to v2.2.1. So why would anyone be using the most current version of uTorrent anyway?

  4. and this matters because... on PETA Is Not Happy That Google Used a Camel To Get a Desert "StreetView" · · Score: 1

    Maybe if anyone besides PETA cared about what PETA thinks this would be news, otherwise I have to quote John Oliver on this: "Hey everyone, we can just ignore them!"

  5. Re:Fair Use on Top EU Court: Libraries Can Digitize Books Without Publishers' Permission · · Score: 2

    Once it's digital, there is no 1:1 ratio. A simple Ctrl+C + Ctrl+V and suddenly it's a 2:1 ratio.

  6. Re:TI calculators are not outdated, just overprice on How the Outdated TI-84 Plus Still Holds a Monopoly On Classrooms · · Score: 1

    The Casio FX-115ESPLUS. It can do complex numbers, differentiation and integration. Costs $18. That's what I'm going to get my kids when they are in HS.

  7. Good story, but a little long on David Auerbach Explains the Inside Baseball of MSN Messenger vs. AIM · · Score: 1

    I really enjoyed reading about the little war between Microsoft and AOL during the chat heyday. However the author went into asides that were 3x longer than the actual story he was trying to tell, going through the entire history of Microsoft and Apple.

  8. Seriously on Why Robots Will Not Be Smarter Than Humans By 2029 · · Score: 1

    I'm no sure if anyone take Ray Kurzweil seriously... except of course for Ray Kurzweil.
