  1. did it enter the grid.

  2. Dont they have a phone there? on Arrested Nigerian Email Scammer Facing Up To 30 Years In Prison (dallasnews.com) · · Score: 1

    If I had received an email to wire $100000 from a company executive I'd surely call up and verify.

  3. Re:No story bias here... on Russia Cancels All Moon Missions Till 2025 (sputniknews.com) · · Score: 1

    News :
    Ramblings from obviously biased people with a poor grasp on reality

  4. I think potentiometers (analog sliders) pre-date Microsoft by a bit.

    Medieval slide trumpet predates the potentiometer .

    Or made at yahoo!

  6. Re:Walls are free? on Facebook's Free Basics App Has Been Temporarily Banned in India (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Forget facebook , lets not forget that this walled garden has free Wikipedia!!! thats something for the millions who cannot afford 3G in India

  7. Re:Grammar please on Drone Crashes, Missing Champion Skier By Inches (cnn.com) · · Score: 0

    The drone was running windows 10

  8. Re:Photoshop, please! on Why President Obama Was Held Back a Year Before Starting Code School (quora.com) · · Score: 2

    Hulk Hogan is a better programmer than Obama . Maybe you should ask him.

  9. This does make a little more sense on $7 Million Xprize For Deep Ocean Exploration (businesswire.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    We have explored more of space then our own oceans. Maybe we should take a domestic vacation before going international .

  10. Re:Anyone else think she could be a plant? on Yahoo To Spin Off Everything That Makes It Yahoo (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    CEO's don't make companies. They are pseudo-celebrities who generally know nothing other than how to liquidate or bump up the stock . Reality is bitter

  11. Re:Help me put the speed of this into perspective. on Google Finds D-Wave Machine To Be 10^8 Times Faster Than Simulated Annealing (blogspot.ca) · · Score: 1

    They can only do simulated annealing. Pretty much useless and not even real

    That smells like Windows 10

  12. Re:who gives a shit? on Wired Thinks It Knows Who Satoshi Nakamoto Is (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I came here to say this same thing, only I would have phrased it as 'Who cares?' or 'Who gives a fuck?'.

  13. WHY on Google Santa Tracker Is Back · · Score: -1, Troll

    Is Santa male ??? that is so intolerant and chauvinist. Santa from now on shall have big boobs instead of a beard . We promise $100M towards that .

  14. Re:"Just a Flesh Wound" on Researchers Are Developing Cure for Human Pain (neurosciencenews.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    The problem is, pain is remarkably important to humans. It tells us we are too close to the fire, or our finger is broken, or someone has just plunged a knife in our back.

    or that we are using Microsoft products or that we are trying to have a conversation with Lennart Poettering

  15. I think Microsoft should focus on restoring Nokia to its former glory , apologizing to the people for screwing it and focusing on the crappy operating systems they make.

  16. Re:Hooray on BlackBerry Exits Pakistan Amid User Privacy Concerns (blackberry.com) · · Score: 1

    The US and Pakistan have the same religious fanatics trying to control the government and keep them in the dark-ages problem. Do you really want anti-government religious lunatics to be able to plot in secret?

    The blackberry market in Pakistan is peanuts. They bent over in India because they had significant sales there. It was more profitable for them to exit Pakistan and publicize a pseudo-pious cause rather than bend over. Business is unethical by definition.

  17. Re:Or just make the diesels hybrids on London's Deputy Mayor On Ditching Diesel · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I think this is the sweet spot for a highly optimized public transport system .

  18. Re:systemD on Ubuntu 16.04 LTS Will Ship With Linux Kernel 4.4 LTS · · Score: 2

    the only reasonable way to "fix" it is to not use systemd and any Linux distro that uses systemd.

    Which means pretty much every major distro out there .

  19. Re:Very surprised... on Japanese Rocket Launches Its First Commercial Satellite (upi.com) · · Score: 2

    Whats more surprising is that India has been doing it for years now .

  20. Re:Still legal? on Exploit Vendor Publishes Prices For Zero-Day Vulnerabilities · · Score: 1

    Are you suggesting they don't have the money to hire talent for zero day exploits?

    No links to an article - no further information - what's the basis for this guy's statements?

    Maybe there is a background music track which is the basis for the story.Like that movie inception .

  22. Re:The phone OS wars are settled on Jolla Goes For Debt Restructuring (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    Other OSes will only remain alive when they are developed for free, or when big companies are willing to compensate the losses (Samsung with Tizen and Microsoft with Windows Phone).

    Or else if you shove them down the users throat

  23. Re:Am I the only one hoping... on Jolla Goes For Debt Restructuring (phoronix.com) · · Score: 0

    They should start by selling their 3310 and 3315 phones. They are better than the crap which Microsoft makes today.

  24. Re:Thank you engineering team... on Jolla Goes For Debt Restructuring (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    This is what happens when an engineering company is run by a bunch of managers.
