    I thought you were a decent person. Now I realize that you really are an ass.

    Well I always thought you were an ass. You deliberately behave like one to provoke, which is indistinguishable from being one.

    Quite frankly I'm proud to be thought of as an ass by someone like you.

    Most people don't take stuff on here seriously, but it appears that you do.

    It has nothing to do with with whether the target takes it seriously. Your comments are water off a duck's back to me. It's to do with the attitude of the instigator, an attitude which takes the form of deliberately insulting and attempting to provoke the target for no rational reason. That's not the behaviour of a well-adjusted human being. That sounds to me like the behaviour of someone so starved of attention or anything positive in their own life that they'll stoop to anything just to form some kind of connection, even a toxic or wholly imaginary one (as this would have remained had I never responded).

    You obviously have issues, but anyway, I've managed to do exactly what I was trying to do, which was to lure you into a correspondence wherein I could try to hold a mirror up to your actions and see if I might just be able to get you to analyse your own behaviour critically and rationally, and perhaps make you realise that you are not making the world a better place for anyone - because, unlike you, I do try to make the world a better place in my own small way. I didn't expect to succeed, and pretty much assumed I would get the kind of response you've just given, but at least I tried.

    While I don't intend to troll you anymore

    I think you mean "have realised I can't" rather than "don't intend to" but you just go ahead and spin it whichever you need to to keep feeling like a big person.

    and have no intention of replying to you at all any longer

    I think it'd be safe to bet that you're really itching to right now, though.

    wonkey_monkey is an ass who is incapable of taking a joke.

    You're a miserable excuse for a human being who wouldn't know a joke if one punched him in the face. I pity you your presumably worthless existence and hope you will consider doing something about it, rather than continuing to slime your way through life feeding on the provocation of others who have done absolutely nothing to deserve it.

    Go and make someone's life better for a change.

    I don't actually have a problem with you at all.

    You clearly have a problem of some kind, though. Low self-esteem? Not enough hugs as a child?

    I thought it would be funny to give you a hard time

    Why would any well-adjusted human being find that funny?

  5. Re:Fold-able is NOT Bendable on Samsung To Launch Smartphones With Bendable Screens in 2017, Reports Bloomberg (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The idea that Samsung is trying is fold-able screens which have a curved separate display in the middle of the fold.

    Is that a guess? Because it sounds like a guess.

    One of the phones is said to "bend" like a compact. That doesn't necessarily mean separate displays.

    The other is said to be a 5" phone which "unfurls" into an 8" display.

    And that seems to be about the sum totality of the information available.

  13. Car analogy please on RSA Keys Can Be Harvested With Microphones (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Can someone explain, vaguely, possibly with a car analogy, how they go about determining keys with coil whine? Is it because the same calculations are made over and over as it churns through data encrypting/decrypting it, so after listening long enough some kind of clues can be gathered about what bytes are in the key? I mean, I assume it's not as a simple as listening and going "Ooh, 14.5Khz, that's 0xBE."
