  1. I have an idea on Microsoft Unveils The Smallest Xbox Ever -- The Xbox One X (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The One-X? So 1X. So basically IX. Let's call it the Xbox 9.

  2. Oh no, someone will not let political parties get away with their lies and bullshit and expose the truth. How terrible! How dare they! I mean it was one sided and with the purpose of altering the results but still, the truth came out and that's what mattered.

  3. the truck and the knives must have been encrypted on British PM Seeks Ban On Encryption After Terror Attack (boingboing.net) · · Score: 1

    You know, the comment pretty much is just the title

  4. After what the WSJ did to Youtube (cost them 1 billion dollars) how the holy shit does WSJ still have anything to do with Google? Why didn't they delist them, ban them from adsense, and try to pretend they don't exist on the internet as payback for their bullshit?

  5. Can someone explain to me how a non-direction, non-distance sensing device determined the direction and distance of a black hole merger that caused the waves because that sounds like absolute nonsense. A more accurate reading from it would be that they sensed gravitational waves but they could have been from absolutely anything anywhere and pinning down the source is impossible.

  6. This is why on Tesla Fires Female Engineer Who Alleged Sexual Harassment (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    This is why you don't hire SJW feminist snowflakes.

  7. Fine, I'll say it on Conch Shells Inspire Next Generation Helmets, Body Armor (rdmag.com) · · Score: 1

    All hail the magic conch!

  8. can't you already do this? on Republicans Want To Leave You Voicemail -- Without Ever Ringing Your Cellphone (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you guys but I'm fairly certain that if I log into my own voicemail, I can send someone a voicemail directly without ever calling them. It's like option #2 or something.

  9. This is why... on China Censored Google's AlphaGo Match Against World's Best Go Player (theguardian.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    China is basically North Korea. You know how the self-reported stats always say that China and other commonly dishonest countries are ranked higher than the US in mathematics? Yeeeeeeah, I feel like maybe this is a good example of why I think they're perhaps lying about the test results.

  10. I know what it is on Could Giant Alien Structures Be Dimming a Far Away Star? (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    It's definitely just your mom walking past the star. She's pretty big.

  11. eat it, Texas! on The Supreme Court Is Cracking Down on Patent Trolls (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess those crooked or biased activist judges in East Texas will have a lot of golfing to do.

  12. why isn't this a thing? on New Battery Technology Draws Energy Directly From The Human Body (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Everyone keeps talking about devices that turn a small amount of heat into electricity directly. Why not slap a patch of that stuff directly onto someone's skin? Is it that inefficient or low wattage? I mean it'd double as a personal air conditioner basically.

  13. The other huge factor on New Evidence of a Decline In Electricity Use By U.S. Households (wordpress.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    You cant discount dvr cutback due to cable cutting and streaming. Dvrs were the 2nd highest usage next to hvac a few years ago. Also cpus in dvrs got more efficient

  14. This is the real reason on The Older the Doctor, the Higher the Patient Mortality Rate, Study Finds (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I used to work in IT at a hospital. It's because the older doctors absolutely refuse to make use of computers at all in any way.

  15. You think? on US and EU Reject Expanding Laptop Ban To Flights From Europe (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    There might be a concealed bomb on the laptop...also known as the battery. I'm not even talking about some cheap chinese crap failing and melting down. You crack the casing and stab it with a pen. Tada, instant pyrotechnics. That could probably do some damage at least to the air in the plane if not the plane's actual structure.

  16. They need an emergency ramp up button on Humans Accidentally Made a Space Cocoon For Ourselves Out of Radio Waves (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Solar storm approaching! Earth shields to maximum power! *hits big red button on VLF machine*

  17. So Netflix can either pay Spectrum a ton of money or they can put a pop up on their website for all Spectrum customers saying "Your ISP is slowing down this connection artificially. If you want higher quality streaming, switch to a different carrier."
    Gee, I wonder which route they'll take. Let the name and shame parade commence.

  18. STOP storing your movies on internet-connected computers or at the very least, encrypt them. You know what hackers can't steal? An encrypted movie file with the decryption key on a sticky note on your monitor. Well okay, they CAN steal it but they wouldn't be able to decrypt it.

  19. We were only required to get a TI-36x solar model. Those are far cheaper and extremely capable. They're also approved for use on the SAT and ACTs. Any graphing calculator was replaced by us having to draw the graph ourselves, which is how most math classes work from what I've heard.

  20. I hope they don't put cameras on it or they might accidentally show a pic of the ground proving that the Earth is flat. You know they like to cover that up regularly.

  21. Certain groups statistically commit more crimes. Why the hell should I ignore math, science, and logic and pretend that's not true? It's my fucking house.

  22. this just in on Gamers in Hawaii Can't Compete... Because of Latency (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    In related news, people in rural areas can't get cheap/fast internet either. Maybe if fast internet is an important part of your life, you should MOOOOOOVE to an appropriate location. I know people who moved to Arizona then moved back to Wisconsin because it was too hot there. Some people are just that fucking stupid.

  23. I just wanted to remind everyone that hybrid drives with flash memory mini-SSDs have always been inconsistent, overpriced, underperforming crap ever since they were invented. My company has tested dozens of them and they're all completely unpredictable. Also a 16GB buffer? Great, my game's sound and data files are 19GB. It's just not practical and the firmware isn't nearly smart enough nor are they big enough. A 64GB one could just barely get by on loading common operating instructions but that's not how big any of them are.

  24. This discriminates against identical twins. Lawsuit pending. This is not a serious post.

  25. I used to work at a hospital and I think I can explain the basis for this. Doctors are clueless, refuse to use technology, they rush everything, and they're incredibly lazy. I don't mean some of them either. 100% of them.
