  1. Re:couldn't hurt on Do We Need More Emojis? · · Score: 1

    We're basically headed full-circle back to glyphs.

  2. Re:Rounded Edges on Former Apple CEO Creates an iPhone Competitor · · Score: 1

    Oh... man... wtf was he thinking with the raised screen!? So many tears after a simple tumble. That phone stands 0 chance.

  3. Re:I played that game... on Cheap Thermal Imagers Can Steal User PINs · · Score: 1

    the goggles... they do NOTHING!

  4. Re:Happily married? on Extortionists Begin Targeting AshleyMadison Users, Demand Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    I love Subway sandwiches, but I'll be damned if I had to eat the same sandwich every day. Sometimes it's about trying something else to realize that what you have is actually perfect for you.

  5. Numpad? on Ask Slashdot: Do You Press "6" Key With Right Or Left Hand? · · Score: 1

    I generally hit it with my right hand... that's where the number pad lies. I'm not even sure that I use the top row of numbers more than a few times a day.

    That said, I just tested out the top row and I reflexively used my left hand to hit the 6.

  6. Re:... using the name and e-mail address of other on Hackers Publish Cheating Site's Stolen Data · · Score: 1

    I created an account yesterday just to see what it was all about...

    I literally smacked my hand off the keyboard to create a username and password (it never even asked me to confirm the password), and the username and domain of an email address. Randomly selected items from drop-downs (managed to set myself up as a 90lb Indian male - couldn't be much more wrong).

    Once everything was filled in, the account was instantly created and it was asking me to upload a picture of myself (naturally, I tossed in a dickbutt picture) and added a fun mask to it (compliments of the site's software for "masking" your face).

    Then it let me straight into the site, no more questions asked. No verification needed. Nothing.

  7. Note quite... on Mozilla Tests Improved Privacy Mode For Firefox · · Score: 1

    Our hypothesis is that when you open a Private Browsing window in Firefox you're sending a signal that you want more control over your privacy than current private browsing experiences actually provide."

    I can't speak for everybody, but I use it when I want to surf porn, but don't want to have to log out of everything before, and clear my cache after. They might as well just call it "Pornsurfin' mode" To really one-up their feature-set, they could change the default search to Bing.

  8. Re: More Samsung marketing creativity on Samsung Pay Launches In Korea In August, US In September · · Score: 1

    and it would come bundled with 3 other things that nobody gives a crap about, and that can't be deleted.

  9. Doesn't the app already do that? on Facebook Intern Gets Preemptive Ax For Exposing Security Flaw · · Score: 1

    I thought the FB mobile app already gave you the ability to click on messenger-based messages to see where they came from? How is this a flaw?

  10. Re:well if its universal on Spoken Language Could Tap Into "Universal Code" · · Score: 1

    Same reason why Brits are incapable of saying "aluminum" but resort to "aluminium"

  11. Re:Slump? on Fossil CEO: Wearables Smothering Swiss Watch Business · · Score: 1

    It's almost impossible to feel bad for someone who produces such a clearly inferior product get handed their asses when the competition arrives.

    I'm confused because compared to the top Android Wear devices, the Apple Watch is the clearly inferior product. Price tag does not equal quality.

  12. I'm so confused by this logic on Will Ad Blockers Kill the Digital Media Industry? · · Score: 1

    I mean, do people really click on adverts on legitimate sites? I can see people getting confused on those sketchy download sites where there are 3 download links that all point to ads instead of the expected file... but really, legitimate companies losing money from blocked ads? Seems insane. On second thought, the only possible legitimate lost revenue I can think of would be YouTube videos where the commercials are blocked out.

  13. Schrodinger's Data on Prosecutors Op-Ed: Phone Encryption Blocks Justice · · Score: 1

    The data on the phone both contains the solution to the murder, and nothing that could lead to the solution to the murder.

  14. Also known as the big scary dark thing.

    Big, scary, even darker thing now.

  15. 22 seconds could suffice on New Video Shows Shot Down Drone Hovered For Only 22 Seconds · · Score: 2

    Fly over, grab raw footage, extract juicy pics to jpgs.

  16. I'd like to buy a vowel... on "Pixels" DMCA Takedown Even Worse Than We Thought · · Score: 1

    I'd like to buy a vowel... an "E"

  17. Re:Enough on Certifi-gate: Another Huge Android Vulnerability · · Score: 1

    Let's work to end this crap. We'll call our movement Gate-gate.

  18. Malware? on Fantastic Four Reboot Released To Tepid Reception · · Score: 1

    ...[T]he cinematic equivalent of malware...

    Malware? Don't they mean shovelware?

  19. Ever wonder... on NBC Report: Russian Hackers Behind Attack On Pentagon Mail System · · Score: 2

    We always hear about all these hacks on the US, but have you ever wondered how many times the US has successfully hacked these other countries? Never really thought about it until now.

  20. Okay from a tech aspect... on Israeli Security Company Builds "Unhackable" Version of Windows · · Score: 2

    I mean, if it's invincible to tech-based hacks, kudos to them... but the other side of that is the wall of gullible idiots that will be manning the "unhackable" systems. Some quick social engineering and their impenetrable fortress will have more holes in it than Swiss cheese.

  21. Re:Garbage on Using Math To Tune a Video Game's Economy · · Score: 1

    The cherry-topper was the "(pictured below)" part with no link to the picture anywhere below it.

    Gret grammer. Awsum spelling. 11/10 - wood reed agen.

  22. Here's the thing on Inside the Failure of Google+ · · Score: 1

    It lacked the false sense of privacy that Facebook gives. I think that may be one part of what caused people to sway away from it. I'm personally a fan of G+. It's got no ads, more powerful tools, no false sense of privacy, and it has a better layout. It also interfaces with my other Google apps nicer. I wish more people would have given it a fair chance, like they gave to Facebook when MySpace was still a thing.

  23. I'm torn... on Unicode Consortium Looks At Symbols For Allergies · · Score: 1

    At first I was thinking "this is dumb" but now that I think about it, it may be good for kids. Especially youngsters into trading lunches etc. Sure we all survived when we were kids without it, but with the ever-growing population of stupidity and inadequate parenting... this may be a good idea. At least it gives kids a chance.

  24. Epic? I think they meant "Boring"... on Epic Mega Bridge To Connect America With Russia Gets Closer To Reality · · Score: 1

    ...Planet Earth's most epic mega-road trip ever.

    Epic? I'd think it to be boring as fuck. A flight over the ocean is boring. And driving across the bridge to PEI in Canada was also damn boring. This would be like that road trip times a thousand once you factor in the distance and all of the accidents holding up traffic. I think I'll just wait for it to come out on YouTube so I can fast-forward and speed up the video footage of the trip and experience it that way.

  25. Re:interesting experiment on Hitchhiking Robot's Cross-Country Trip Ends In Philadelphia · · Score: 1

    ...sitting by the roadside. It's ugly, it's a distraction and has the potential to become a road hazard.

    That's not fair. I still gave your mom a chance.
