  1. Computer Illiterate on Ready CEO: Coding Snobs Are Not Helping Our Children Prepare For The Future (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    The quote at the end sounds like it comes from someone completely computer illiterate. Maybe /. could post some awesome stories from Justin Bieber's YouTube comments sections teaching us how to achieve a unified field theorem. That would be equally productive.

  2. Re:LOL "NEW" Professional Trolls? on PayPal Denies Twitch Troll $50,000 Worth In Refunds (ubergizmo.com) · · Score: 2

    OMG! Israel donated $50k to Twitch accounts via PayPal... and then they asked for a refund!!! And they've been doing that for 15 years!

    Sigh.

  3. Odd. It's Score:5, Offtopic for me. Figuring out why is left as an exercise for the reader.

  4. Re:Which one to laugh at more? on Samsung: Don't install Windows 10 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I got burned by that. Tab 10.1. Overpriced abandonware. Deleted Samsung from my list of vendors.

  5. So run for political office then. It's easy to make claims about "what you'd do" (we refer to them as broken campaign promises) - much harder to actually implement. You know, unless you're trying for a dictatorship.

    No, I mean TFS mentioned it twice with nearly the same wording.

  7. Re:Coat tail rider looking for fame again... on Billionaire Technologist Accuses NASA Asteroid Mission of Bad Statistics (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Bored Billionaire wants attention, attacks real scientists with pseudoscience, news at a11.

    From his wikipedia page:

    Myhrvold was born in Seattle, Washington. He attended Mirman School,[4] and began college at age 14.[5] He studied mathematics, geophysics, and space physics at UCLA (BSc, Masters). He was awarded a Hertz Foundation Fellowship for graduate study and studied at Princeton University, where he earned a master's degree in mathematical economics and completed a PhD in theoretical and mathematical physics.[6] He also attended Santa Monica College. For one year, he held a postdoctoral fellowship at the University of Cambridge working under Stephen Hawking (along with a number of other students).

    Goigle. Good ol' Goigle. Sigh.

  9. Re:Hey. Don't forget Google! on Apple To Open Up Siri To Developers, Release An Amazon Echo Competitor (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    Was that an attempt to outdo TFS by mentioning Goigle Home three times rather than only twice, as in TFS? Granted, unlike TFS, you didn't use the same wording each time.

  10. Hey. Don't forget Google! on Apple To Open Up Siri To Developers, Release An Amazon Echo Competitor (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    The summary didn't once mention the tech giant Google and their recent unveiling of Google Home.

  11. Re:Yeah, like DSPs... on Google's Tensor Processing Unit Could Advance Moore's Law 7 Years Into The Future (pcworld.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps is time for squirrels law, no?

  12. Re:That's it, vote Trump on Creator of Online Money Gets 20 Years in Prison (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    When did they promise to return it to you with interest? I received no such promise. There are certainly people that repeat an urban legend to that effect. Social Security is a welfare tax. Nothing more. If it were a savings account, the first recipients wouldn't have gotten much.

  13. As I expected, spending 5 minutes typing a simple example to make a point brought the insecure people out of the woodwork.

  14. Oh, how droll. You assume /.-ers are imbeciles incapable of handling the command line.

  15. It's Impossible!!! on Rogue Source Code Repos Can Compromise Mac Security Due To Old Git Version (softpedia.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    sudo port install git

    Oh! The humanity!

    As an aside, it's possible to override SIP, but it's a bit of a PITA.

  16. Karsten Nohl and his team were legally granted access to SS7 by several international cellphone carriers. In exchange, the carriers wanted Nohl to test the network's vulnerability to attack. That's because criminals have proven they can get into SS7.

    But yeah, totally available from a number of websites for a buck. It was just easier to get the carriers to give him access since he didn't actually have a dollar handy.

  17. All they need is your VIN!

  18. It helps that I'm not a pretentious snob that thinks I'm better than everyone else because I use a french press instead of a Keurig. Or don't eat at McDonalds.

    So what type of pretentious snob are you?

  19. News for Aspergians.

    I have no respect for the teaching "profession". Perhaps they should raise their standards.

    You need to go back and read what he said. Very slowly and very carefully. If at that point you don't see that your response makes no sense, return and read it again. And again. And again.

    Your mean a place with opinions different from yours? I'm pretty sure it happened when they put it on that internet thingamajig.

  24. This just in: T. Boone Pickens thinks they should be required to spend the money on natural gas vehicles and wind harvesting technologies.

  25. A shame I can't +1 funny that.
