  1. Re:This is hack proof! :) on Thousands of Swedes Are Inserting Microchips Under Their Skin (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Unless it features contacts on the outside of the skin, it is a transceiver.

  2. As a German, I don't see how this could possibly work as literally any noun has a(n arbitrary) gender.

    Mind sharing where you last heard this?

  3. Isn't all this what the singular 'they' is for?

  4. Re:unless its end to end, its going to break on Network Middleware Still Can't Handle TLS Without Breaking Encryption (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Good luck if the appliance itself actually checks for cert validity or not.

    Care to elaborate?

  5. Re: Wavelength on Sunglasses That Block All the Screens Around You (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    As OLED screens become the norm, however, the term "wide color gamut" may vanish, and just leave people wondering why those old screens looked so bad.

    Yeah and with OLED screens, people will be left wondering why their few-years-old OLED screen looks so bad...

  6. Re:You mean planet 10? on Discovery of 'Goblin' Solar System Object Bolsters the Case For Planet Nine (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Although a planet, by definition of the *word*, is every body orbiting a star!

    By that definition, even your momma is a planet.

    Come to think about it, she too is by some other definitions, but that's beside the point.

  7. Re:NASA isn't planning to go to the moon on Moon is Stepping Stone, Not Alternative To Mars, NASA Chief Says (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    WTF is cislunar orbit and how does it differ from any other lunar orbit?

  8. Yeah.. We only have to dig 3000 km to arrive at liquid rock. That's like 0.0001% of Earth's ~6000 km radius. Right?

  9. Re:Torvalds defined on The New Yorker on Linus Torvalds (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    In German it text translated to a "Array of building openings" or a "forest of Doors".

    What a load of nonsense. Your sig is oddly appropriate.

  10. If you disconnect the counter output (leaving it in place) the pattern changes

    Is this actually true?

  11. Re:From decades ago?? Like they ever stopped! on Linux On Windows 10: Running Ubuntu VMs Just Got a Lot Easier, Says Microsoft (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Here is the diagnostics list for the telemetry with an explanation of what the fields are, also it is anonymized.

    You mean there's what Microsoft says it is or does. Since the data transmitted encrypted, all those claims are unverifiable. I know it, you know it, Microsoft knows it. Give the past, I'd feel stupid trusting in that Microsoft accurately describes what they are doing there. Wonder what makes you so certain?

    You realise that one line of text in the start menu you can just turn off right?

    Pretty sure it's more than "one line of text", and the fact that you can go out of your way to turn it off until the next upgrade is worthless.

  12. but does it run IN FAST KERNEL mode?

  13. Re:From decades ago?? Like they ever stopped! on Linux On Windows 10: Running Ubuntu VMs Just Got a Lot Easier, Says Microsoft (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Right. Personal data and usage habits are completely worthless to a company like Microsoft that has absolutely no incentive to, say, push ads out to users.

    Now if you'll excuse me, I have to buy this new product that I just saw in my start menu.

  14. Re:This can't happen soon enough. on Like Smartphone Vendors, Laptop OEMs Are Increasingly Moving To Near Bezel-Less Displays (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Redundant

    So you both do and do not want a bezel-less tablet?

  15. Re:Ditch DST, no "permanent" DST on EU Backs Ending Daylight Saving Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    This is an EU thing, not a GB thing. Greenwich won't be affected.

  16. Re:Well what is it? on Physicists Measure Gravity With Record Precision (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    6.674184×10^-11 and 6.674484×10^-11

    This kind of cryptic number stuff isn't suitable for a mainstream news site like this.

  17. You can't be serious.

    Throughput is performance

    No, throughput is a specific aspect of performance

    Yes, dimwit, throughput is the specific aspect of performance that we're talking about. It's not wrong to say we're talking about performance when throughput is an aspect of it.

    I can't believe you're maliciously nitpicking in this way while also saying

    But from your use of discussion-sabotage techniques I see you do not want to actually discuss facts. That is fine, just do not expect to be taken seriously.

    I recommend you take a piece of your own advice and fuck off.

    Oh, that must be why it's just a river of garbage now.

    Oh, thanks. Found some other picture, the receiver is very visible in TFA, it's just lowered down

  20. It's GbE, but throughput is only 300 Mbps. that's fucked up.

    That is the bad engineering found everywhere in the Raspberry Pi

    Throughput is performance.

  21. Because performance is all that matters, and you get the performance for free, basically. Right?

  22. How do they even on Tourism is Compromising the World's Largest Telescope (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Can someone explain why the scope doesn't seem to have anything in its focal point?

  23. If only there was a userland program like gpsd to unify GPS providers into a standard format output stream. Oh wait, there is...

  24. So who's paying Fiat back for all that?

  25. Meh on New Tech Lets Submarines 'Email' Planes (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Because letting a buoy with an antenna rise up to the surface would be too difficult. Let's analyze micro water ripples in a lab setting instead, it will totally work on the oceans.
