  1. Re:if only there were a p2p micropayment system on Core Bitcoin Devs Leave Project, Create New Currency Called Decred (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    the first program anyone runs as soon as they start up their computers!

    The BIOS?

  2. Re:Innovation on North Korea's Operating System Analyzed (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    Windows 10?

  3. Re:Forking is normal on Core Bitcoin Devs Leave Project, Create New Currency Called Decred (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    If there was an attempt tomorrow to exchange all of those tokens for something else only a few at the start of the day would match the high value of the bitcoins currently being passed among enthusiasts.

    Perhaps the same could be said of fiat currencies.

    No need, google already tracks everything you do.

  5. Re:Not my money, yet on Star Wars Pulls In $1 Billion At Record Speed (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    The story in the prequels was actually better

    Now now, let's not say things we will regret later.

  6. Re:Controller support on PC on Four Factors That Will Push VR Forward in 2016 (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    PlayStation Eye Toy, Xbox Kinect for 360, and PlayStation Move all failed for the same reason: market size. Why build a game to support this hardware which targets 40% of the userbase, when you could have an easier time leaving it out and reach 100% of the userbase?

    Gotta love how you conveniently omitted the Wii, one of the most successful consoles of all time.

  7. Re:Just serving the customer on ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Settle down, cowboy. What I'm suggesting is that ad-blocking should be done on the carrier side, not on the client. My current ublock origin list is getting huge and I can only imagine how much of a drag it would be for a cellphone with limited data, battery and processor.

  8. Elect Trump for the supreme court!

  9. Re:Fine. Pedant. on Ubuntu User Count Pegged At Over One Billion (phoronix.com) · · Score: 2

    Windows 10 alone has over 70 million installs, and people are resisting it.

    That's pathetic compared to Ubuntu's >1 billion. Seriously, is Micro$oft even trying?

  10. Re:And Ketchup is a vegetable! on Ubuntu User Count Pegged At Over One Billion (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    What about pizza?

    They are OLPC users

  12. Re:Adaway is the best adblocker I've ever seen on ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    (my assumption here is that some URLs in Adaway aren't in Adblock Plus and vice versa).

    They use the same adblocking lists, so you're effectively wasting cycles.

  13. Re:Turn off javascript on ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    At that point why not just use lynx to browse the web.

  14. Re: Just use the Ghostery browser on ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's made by an advertising company. That's a conflict of interest right there.

  15. Re:Just serving the customer on ASUS To Include AdBlock Plus On All Phones and Tablets In 2016 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    You're dealing with limited processor power on cellphones and tablets, so blocking ads is just adding extra strain. Adblock plus isn't exactly known for its efficiency.

  16. This is happening with drones... on Drone Crashes, Missing Champion Skier By Inches (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    And you goddamn nerds wanted flying cars. Imagine those crashes.

  17. Re:The AOL of 2016 on Facebook's Free Basics App Has Been Temporarily Banned in India (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for those free drink coasters in the mail.

  18. Re:I'm all for returning cultural artifacts. on Nicolas Cage To Return Rare Stolen Dinosaur Skull To Mongolia (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess you could say he's Bringing Out the Dead.

  19. Now we just need a final release of Grand Theft Gentoo and it will be the year of the Linux gaming desktop.

  20. Re:i have a better idea. on HTTP Error Code 451 Approved For Censored Web Pages (mnot.net) · · Score: 2

    I'd settle for ISPs just giving usenet access along with the internet service like they used to do.

  21. Buzzwords on Software-Defined Vehicles Will Dominate At CES (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Is it just me or is the summary almost 50% buzzwords? All you're missing is "synergy" and "end to tend" and you have your average engadget post.
