  1. I'm pretty sure on Mission Possible: Self-Destructing Phones Are Now a Reality (yahoo.com) · · Score: 0

    Samsung already figured this one out.

  2. Flowers For Ammo? on US Military Seeks Biodegradable Bullets That Sprout Plants (newatlas.com) · · Score: 0

    This doesn't sound cool at all. And that's why it shouldn't be done. It is literally a concern of the military that things sound and look cool. What kind of military shoots flowers for ammunition? Biodegradable maybe... But no flowers please.

  3. Oh Yeah Guess What? on Vitamin D Deficiency During Pregnancy Linked To Autism (newatlas.com) · · Score: -1

    Apparently you can give your child autism if you don't get enough sun and or don't drink enough milk. But injecting a newborn with a dead or slightly alive virus... Oh that can't lead to autism???

  4. So Software Dependencies? on Microsoft Will Soon Start Bundling Drivers With Windows Store Games (thurrott.com) · · Score: 0

    Wonder where they got that idea.

  5. If only I never got blue screens on Microsoft Exec Urges Linux Developers To Try Windows 10 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 0

    I downgraded back to Windows 7 from 10 because Windows 10 was really slow on my laptop. And now my laptop has blue screened just about every time it's booted up with Widows... Even after using the recovery disk to bring it back to a factory image. The Linux Mint MATE that I have is now where I can reliably do all the work that I need to do. Plus Linux Mint MATE is so resource friendly I can do more simply because there are more CPU cycles available. This is noticeable with things like Blender and compiling lots of code.

  6. If Humans Come From Nature, on Trump To Scrap NASA Climate Research In Crackdown On 'Politicized Science' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Then how can our actions be outside of nature? If our actions are not outside of nature, then isn't "human caused climate change" just nature taking its course?

  7. There is a movie about something like this on Second Chinese Firm In a Week Found Hiding a Backdoor In Android Firmware (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 0

    It's called Dragon Day and it's about how the US is held hostage because China has put backdoors in all the tech we buy from them.

  8. Have you tried turning it off and on again? on Macs End Up Costing 3 Times Less Than Windows PCs Because of Fewer Tech Support Expense, Says IBM's IT Guy (yahoo.com) · · Score: 0

    The thing is that hospitals, the military (the military recently spent millions for XP security patches!), and businesses in general tend to spend tons of money getting an infrastructure in the first place, then they spend tinier bits of money trying to keep it going especially to avoid paying all that money getting a new infrastructure. So a lot of the time they pay way more in the long run. There are trade-offs with this as there may be less downtime which may be better for business. It's one of the reasons open platforms (OSes, standards, ect.) are great because it should be easier to do updates and improve code more seamlessly. Even Microsoft is becoming more open (as in including implementations of Linux bash)

  9. ...all people with diseases in the "porn industry?" What about them? What about not watching porn to stop promoting sex trafficking? Porn isn't "free" real people's lives are damaged by it.

  10. Porn destroys relationships... on Russia Bans Pornhub, YouPorn - Tells Citizens To Meet Someone In Real Life (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Porn kills ones ability to love.

  11. Re: Not good, not good. on Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    As it turns out NASA knows a few tricks for cheating on emissions tests as well.

  12. Great now it's "Universal Climate Change" on Mars Is Coming Out Of An Ice Age (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    We haven't even had a colony on Mars and our SUVs are destroying the planet.

  13. It's about time! on Simple Method Yields A Wrinkly, Durable, Water-Repellent Coating (acs.org) · · Score: 2

    I've always hoped someone would take the values of Shrinky-Dink seriously.

  14. Then the day came... on Microsoft Brings SQL Server To Linux (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...when hell thawed a little

  15. Also In News, Iran: We Promise... on Editing Genes In Human Embryos Doesn't Mean Designer Babies · · Score: 1

    ...The Nukes We Just Launched Are Definitely NOT Headed Towards Israel.

  16. It's like hearing "News:COMPANY Network Breached!" on Fraud Detected In Science Research That Suggested GMO Crops Were Harmful (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Which could mean anything from bleeding edge source code for warhead chips was stolen (where you would actually want to do something about it)... to someone was able to guess a poorly secured WiFi password. What if the printer had something on it that created repeatable smudges? How dare they use the same printer!? Another thing, does anyone like all those space photos from Hubble? Talk about photo shopped for science!

  17. News: Scientists Create Building Blocks of Life In on NASA Ames Reproduces the Building Blocks of Life In Laboratory · · Score: 1

    A Highly Controlled Environment! Suggest lab really is "space-like"

  18. Lame on Google Reverses Stance, Allows Porn On Blogger After Backlash · · Score: 1
