  1. The pentalobe screws were made precisely to make it harder to repair. To counter your GM example, there wasn't a place anywhere to buy the pentalobe drivers. The didn't want to make money selling the tools, they want you to buy a whole new phone because the repair prices are too high. Also Apple geniuses were putting them on older phones that were brought into the stores for minor repairs, without asking customers about the replacement. Some info here on them: https://www.ifixit.com/blog/20...

  2. How long until Apple buys Cellebrite?

  3. 6 Pack on Ask Slashdot: Is There Space For Open Hardware In Networking? · · Score: 1

    What about the facebook stuff they've been posting about? 6 Pack

  4. Re:Idiot software developers on Tesla Model S Has Been Hacked · · Score: 1

    They need to have security between the two systems, and from what I've read they do, but it isn't perfect. They problem with what you are proposing is that you can't change any engine/suspension settings that way. That's part of the feature set of the car. How would you turn on insane, or the new ludicrous mode?

    I think the bigger problem they need to fix is to start signing the downloads.

  5. Re:Here we go again on As Amazon Grows In Seattle, Pay Equity For Women Declines · · Score: 1

    To network with the women you would need to be organized. Maybe you could keep all their resumes together in some sort of system. Like a folder or maybe a binder? Binders full of women! That's it!

  6. Onion? on Ozzy Osbourne's Genome Reveals Some Neanderthal Lineage · · Score: 1

    I thought this just had to be an Onion article...

    I want to make sure all the internets are safe.

  8. Re:Apples to Oranges (this is not redundant... yet on G5 vs. x86 and Mac OS X vs. Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    There's no OpenLinux, FreeLinux or NetLinux. I think that proves that *BSD forks at least 3 times faster than Linux.

  9. Re:Give it to Gnome, so they can buy a Klue on Who Should Help LinuxFund Distribute $126,155.29? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Don't you mean "so they can buy a klue"?

    Now I finally get it. Tubgirl is Food Poisoning porn.

  12. Re:BeOS on Skype For Mac OS X and Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Make that both of them. I'm finally giving up BeOS. I'm going to get one of those fancy new Amigas.

  13. MySQL a real DB? on Worm Hits Windows Machines Running MySQL · · Score: 4, Funny

    Does this mean MySQL is considered a real DB now?

  14. Tivo and Tetris on Too Much Gaming, Anyone? · · Score: 1

    I remember seeing the world in Tetris shapes ages ago, and also wanting to rewind everything after I got a Tivo. My wife as well. If somebody drove past the house and you wanted to see the car again, we would both have the impulse to use the Tivo remote to rewind it. I still want that on my car stereo...

  15. Re:NEWSFLASH on XBox Owner Sues Microsoft · · Score: 2, Funny

    I'm too stupid to know what a suppost number is.

  16. Re:Kitchen table? on Next Mars Mission Will Look for Landing Sites · · Score: 2

    Yes, just get one from Ikea. They pack flat.

  17. Re:Not sure if entire relavent on UPS Hacking in Hurricane Season? · · Score: 1

    Also about once a month flip your mattress and reverse the polority off the UPS to the computer. You don't want to wear out only one side of the rectifier.

  18. Been done before... on Invisible Cloaks, Translucent Walls · · Score: 1

    Floating genitalia would be very creepy.

    As seen here: Skin Deep Glow in the dark condoms...

  19. No Doubt on Contiki for Internet-enabled Apple II · · Score: 4, Funny

    The same thing happened to me. I was wondering how the killer with the knife behind could be so damn quiet. It's 2:00 AM here, and that scared the crap out of me. It's worse than those animated gifs you stare at for 20 seconds, before a "ghost" shows up for 2 frames.

  20. Where did Linux come from? on Tocqueville Blames U.S. IT Troubles On Free Software · · Score: 1

    I think the funniest part of the article is that he assumes that Linux (the "IP Neutron bomb") came from the US.

  21. Character Record Sheets on D&D Is 30 · · Score: 0

    My children just found old basic D&D set I had in the with the board games, and we started playing it this last weekend. It's the big huge one that looks like a board game, and has paper cutout pieces, and a big map to play on. It's basically a rehash of the basic edition, in a bigger box. I bought it when I first got married, to see if my wife would be interested. No such luck.

    One of the memories that came back to me was all the time spent making really cool character record sheets. I used to photo copy, cut paste, etc all manually to get them made. I also used my C= 64/128 and Gemini 10X as well. I just remember those sheets being really expensive when I was in elementary school. When we pulled the box out, I still had some of those old characters in there, on homemade sheets.

    The cool part is that, now I took one of the books scanned in the sheet from it, and modified it, and printed out a bunch. I was telling my wife how cool it to have such modern technology that wasn't even dreamt up back then.

  22. Re:Does anyone know this song? on AT&T Wireless Announces Music ID Service · · Score: 3, Funny

    I think it's S.O.S.

    Then you can have the same powers to attack the big guys. Legally.
