  1. I am certainly not pleased on Sweden's Cash-Free Future Looms -- and Not Everyone Is Happy About It · · Score: 1

    because the banksters get a cut of every non-cash transaction and companies like Walmart negotiate with them to get a lower rate. Moreover with Google Pay, Samsung pay and Apple pay, they get a cut on top of that as well. Basically non-cash payments penalize small shops and drive up the costs for everybody.

  2. Plus on How Hollywood's Hedy Helped Heighten Handhelds (hackaday.com) · · Score: 0

    Hedy Lamar was a babe. Win, win. On the other hand, I am married to a smart babe and at times it can be a bit of a challenge. I do not want to get into the details but let your imagination run wild.

  3. there was no backtalk or skin color, nor any body to, tase, plant drugs on, beat, choke or ultimately shoot down. I mean this is so far off from their everyday "reality," like who are they going to write the ticket to? Cops in this scenario were most likely dumbfounded.

  4. if software cannot siphon money from both shareholders and employees, I do not know what can. I do know that I could do it with Excel.

  5. Of course they do on UK and US Suspect That ISIS Bomb Took Down Flight 9268 (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    we need bad guys in order to justify "defense spending."

  6. Keep in mind on Emerging Technologies and the Future of Humanity (sagepub.com) · · Score: 1

    that technological innovation is not limited to iPhone apps and unemployed cabbies. Sadly underfunded, "real" technology should involve clean energy, the pursuit of knowledge (science et. al.), clean water, disease eradication, and products and services that improve the quality of life of for everybody--not just for the beneift of the 99%.

  7. Clarification: I heard that the dude did hear about eBay but thought it had something to do with fishing.

  8. heard about the Internet or eBay in the neighborhood.

  9. The Japanese have only a single swear word in their vocabulary (look it up). That said, all I can say to this Congress is "baka" (idiot) to the nth power. I got your cisa right here and I will cut you with it!

  10. No, it seems the brothers don't know how to fly drones. Seems like a business opportunity to me.

  11. Excuse me butt on Using a Smartphone As a Virtual Reality Controller · · Score: 0

    as I stolled through the VR section at Canon Expo NYC yesterday, the VR users looked like a bunch of mutant frogmen struggling to find a vacant teat. Plus, 8k! Please, it's much to early to get jiggy over this technology. It is only that, technology and may never find a usability niche.

  12. Re: meanwhile solar output from the sun was stable on Slowing Wind Energy Production Suffers From Lack of Wind · · Score: 1

    It just goes to show the urgent need to install wind turbines surrounding DC in oder to capture the plethora of hot air emanating from within.

  13. Re: Republicans want the death penalty... on Robotic Lawn Mower Gets Regulatory Approval · · Score: 1

    So can I marry this here lawnmower?

  14. Apparently on USC Vs. UC San Diego In Fight Over Alzheimer's Research · · Score: 1

    these two entities have forgotten the details about who killed who,

  15. Who do they think they are, the NSA? We'll show them what exceptional hackers are and bomb them off the face of the earth.

  16. I can only hope on U. Michigan Opens a Test City For Driverless Cars · · Score: 1

    that it is in Rick (not Dick) Snyder's neighborhood.

  17. It is too bad on Cray To Build Australia's Fastest Supercomputer · · Score: 1

    that the Aussies couldn't do it on their own but that would divert their attention from digging even more coal mines beside the Great Barrier Reef.

  18. Rightfully on Man Arrested After Charging iPhone On London Overground Train · · Score: 1

    should be arrested for violation of Article 101: willful ignorance. Why? Overspending for an overrated phone that everybody knows has pitiful battery life but has spawned an entire industry of remoras of which said phone maker takes a cut of the spoils.

  19. WFWG on 25 Years Today - Windows 3.0 · · Score: 1

    NT

  20. Total BS on Microsoft To Teachers: Using Pens and Paper Not Fair To Students · · Score: 1

    NT

  21. What isn't this security researcher not already in jail?

  22. How about on Douglas Williams Pleads Guilty To Training Customers To Beat Polygraph · · Score: 1

    we indict those who train others to bilk the financial system and the peons out of their investment money?

  23. Wonderful on Fetch Robotics Unveils Warehouse Robots · · Score: 1

    Offshore this.

  24. the basic safety instruction of locking up your unloaded guns? Games or not, this is apparently not possible in Murka. I suppose that memory retention is impossible when there is a dearth of brain cells.

  25. Hypocracy unlimited on Homeland Security Urges Lenovo Customers To Remove Superfish · · Score: 1

    DHS wants a few thousand Lenovo PC owners to do this while their cronies are hacking and spying on everybody worldwide whether they own a PC, smartphone or not. Look over there! A Chinaman named Lenovo and you should be very afraid! Sick. Of. It.
