    It isn't.

    Will it fit in my pocket? I feel like not really.

    But you have to find a charger. I'd prefer to not worry about it for days or weeks at a time.

    Those things suck so often though.

  5. Maybe I should get into this mining thing... on Bitcoin Tumbles From Record High After Exchanges Confirm Outage · · Score: 0

    How does one go about it on a mac? I mean, I'm not in a hurry and my computer sits idle most of the time anyway. And it's in a cold room that could use the heat.

    To counter this, I can buy a dumb phone that stays on for one month without any charging, or with continuous phone calls and texting it will last 7 days. 5 days if I'm using it's crappy web browser and low-res screen. If cell phone makers instead of giving me a pointlessly thinner phone, just gave me a larger battery I could use it for a whole day without needing a charge.

  7. Re:You can't have your cake and eat it too on Andy Rubin Takes Leave From Essential as Probe Into 'Inappropriate' Google Relationship Goes Public, Report Claims (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Yea, but then people started getting political protestors fired for going to rallies in their social lives. Taking away people's incomes has been the new weapon of the left, even when it isn't work related.

    Supposedly there was a NYT article coming out about Matt Lauer, and others are reporting something happened in 2014. And maybe Matt Lauer said, "Yea I did that," and they said, "well we need to let you go, here's a severance."

  9. You can already do this by switching sides, the queen isn't always on the same side of the board since the queen is on her matching color.

    Sugar is totally added to milk, especially lower fat milks, but even Vitamin D milk has added sugar.

    From TFA:

    The proposal does not extend to copyright-protected content, which includes music streaming services such as Spotify and Apple’s iTunes, electronic books, television series and movies.

    I purchased some Euro headlamps from the UK for my S60R years ago and the guy over the phone, Paul if I remember, goes "Oh you're in the US, let me subtract VAT" and it saved me a ton.

    Just like the States! Tax free shopping online should be the norm, it makes zero sense when you live in a state that has a gas tax to pay for the roads separately that the delivery truck is using. At that point I'm literally getting zero benefit from whatever a sales tax is used for. We can justify that the vehicle delivering goods has to pay registration/tagging fees, fuel (with said road tax), property tax or rent that goes towards it for their warehouse. Why should I pay fucking sales tax too?

  14. Re:Does this apply to prostitutes? on EU Agrees To End Country-Specific Limits For Online Retailers (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Despite your downvote, this is an interesting question if the prostitute is available online and legal in your country, I would assume there are higher travel costs though.

  15. Another reason to miss my Windows Phone on How a Wi-Fi Pineapple Can Steal Your Data (And How To Protect Yourself From It) (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I could set it up to only connect to wifi at certain locations, it was such a battery saver. I mean like now I can set my iPhone to connect to only known networks (even though that is how this attack works) etc etc, but having the geofencing was sweet.

  16. Re:Net Neutrality is Actually Bad on FCC Announces Plan To Repeal Net Neutrality (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Then why aren't there more lawsuits about it and why aren't ISPs losing and being forced to build it out?

    Comcast already tiers my internet and I pay for the Blast! one or whatever which has artificial boosts. I don't see a big difference here.

    But wouldn't it be easier and more energy efficient to launch something small like a harpoon or whatever that has maneuver capabilities, so that when it gets close or makes contact it doesn't vaporize? Then as others have said use a tether to slowly accelerate the ship or what have you and use the speed increase to springboard off of it?

    We've seen on /. tons of examples of people losing their jobs over their opinions and activities. So it seems like there's a few things outside of work that can cost you your job if someone at the job doesn't like what you do outside of work.
