  1. Beware of the hoodie on Newly Discovered Vulnerability Raises Fears Of Another WannaCry (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    My favorite part is the photo caption on the reuters link:
    FILE PHOTO: A hooded man holds a laptop computer as blue screen with an exclamation mark is projected on him in this illustration picture taken on May 13, 2017.

  2. I knew an old woman who swallowed AI on Software Is Eating the World, But AI Is Going To Eat Software, Nvidia CEO Says (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know why she swallowed a AI
    Perhaps she'll die.

  3. Do they know when you fart? on New Office Sensors Know When You Leave Your Desk (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Please somebody let me know if they report when you fart.

  4. You truly have to admire on HTC's New Flagship Phone Has AI and a Second Screen, But No Headphone Jack (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Their courage.

  5. Re: Death of Uber on Regulators Criticize Banks For Lending Uber $1.15 Billion (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Usually, you don't have to worry about percussions with Uber drivers, except when you get one of those beatnik drivers. I try to stay away from them.

  6. Konami issued the following statement: on Fan-Made 'Metal Gear Solid' Remake Cancelled; Gamers Blame Konami (hothardware.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    "!"

  7. One day in the future... on Boston Dynamics' Next-Gen ATLAS Sheds the Tether (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    We will look back fondly on the days when we humans used to place boxes on shelves, be heckled by our boss with a hockey stick, and then violently shoved to the ground.

  8. Simpsons Reference (annoyed grunt) on Toxic Toads Taking Over Australia · · Score: 1

    Marge: We have them in America. They're called bullfrogs.
    Australian clerk: What? That's an odd name. I'd have called them "chazzwazzers".

  9. Re:This is so very wrong! on Microsoft Claims Linux Security a Myth · · Score: 1

    Actually "foundering" is acceptable too. From Dictionary.com:

    1. To sink below the surface of the water: The ship struck a reef and foundered.
    2. To cave in; sink: The platform swayed and then foundered.
    3. To fail utterly; collapse: a marriage that soon foundered.

  10. Re:I have a better solution on ESA Plans Test of Asteroid Defense System · · Score: 1

    Great idea! And Aerosmith can provide the inspirational soundtrack.

  11. 300K per employee on Microsoft's Midlife Crisis · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's OK though because "640K ought to be enough for anybody".

  12. Policies are non-negotiable on Military on Alert for Killer Coke Cans · · Score: 2, Interesting

    This is a typical sarcastic reaction from non-military people. In the military a policy is a policy and must be followed strictly. Classified information is no joke. If a policy states that you will not have any device that transmits or receives information within x meters of where classified information is being processed or discussed then that must be strictly followed whether its a cell phone, blackberry, pager, walkie talkie, or in this case a promotional coke can. There are no exceptions, not even for generals. They can check their devices at the door, but even they are not exempt. Generals should not be staying up worrying at night about these coke cans, thats why they delegate such matters to us security people. But now I've said too much....Now look directly into the beam of light.

  13. To all of us married nerds on What Was Your Worst Computer Accident? · · Score: 1

    Remember to take off your ring when tooling around indside your computer. I was checking out a fan problem with the machine on and must have touched something because there was a big shock, but I don't remember much! Luckily it was just the power supply. Not as bad as in college though when I got really drunk one night and passed out in my bed. My bed was by my machine on the floor. I woke up and found traces of a Milwaukee Beast visit all over my computer. It went through the vents and did some damage. But once again I don't really remember much from that one either.

  14. Collective subconscious on Susan Kare: Mother of Icons You Love (or Hate) · · Score: 1

    ...her GUI elements have become part of the modern collective subconscious

    ...So much so that we do not even need to see the article.

  15. "I like my privacy" on CNN Talks WIth ACLU Tech Maven Barry Steinhardt · · Score: 1

    If you like your privacy, maybe you shouldn't post such information to a public message board. Just kidding.

  16. Wired Interview with Barry on CNN Talks WIth ACLU Tech Maven Barry Steinhardt · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's a longer interview with Barry from Wired

    They also have some nice information on 'Carnivore' and 'Magic Lantern', spy technologies that the FBI is using on Americans.

    Scary stuff.

  17. ACLU's Efforts on CNN Talks WIth ACLU Tech Maven Barry Steinhardt · · Score: 5, Informative

    Here's more info about ACLU's campaign to challenge new security laws, called Keep America Safe and Free

    It's interesting to note their views that in order to keep America safe, you do not necessarily have to take away freedom.

    More info about the controversial PATRIOT ACT.

    Best of luck to him!

  18. Finally on Do-Not-Email Registries? · · Score: 1
