Anyone who's been in the educational system knows that virtually everything "resets" when you hit grad school. Therefore, assuming Grad School is something you absolutely want to do, it makes virtually no difference where you get your undergraduate degree (so long as it's an appropriately accredited institution) - use that to then get your undergraduate degree at a reasonable price, then get your graduate degree from the desired institution. Of course, by then you'll realize that there's only a very small percentage of the time when you TRULY need to get that degree at the "prestigious institution," and you've just saved yourself even more money. The educational system as a whole is a crapshoot anyway - in the vast majority of the cases you get out of a program what you put into it, regardless of what school you go to. This is why when I do interviewing I always like to ask, "so what do you do for fun?" - the students who tell me about their side projects are going to be a hell of a lot better contributors than those who regale me about their XBox addiction.
And to think, I was just having a conversation with my buddy about how I thought Facebook was listening to me via my phone's microphone when it seemingly answered back, "No, we're not!"
Wait, isn't this how my DVD-R burner works? Are they REALLY saying that they just re-invented the DVD-R/CD-R technology for Graphene? If so, give those guys a cookie.
When Apple removed the audio jack in the iPhone 7, they removed the ability to plug in an antenna to the device - in Android devices, you have to plug wired headphones into the audio jack to act as the antenna for the radio.
But why would the FCC chairman blow smoke out his bunghole without speaking directly to them first? Is it some unwritten requirement that they have to publicly shame themselves rather than putting on their big-boy pants and actually directly talking to someone? It seems like if you're the head of the FCC you can find a technical contact at Apple to speak to before being an ass about it.
I moved to Windows 10 (yes, on purpose) three weeks ago via the "update" and I'm finally getting [back] to the point where life doesn't suck. I had corrupted system files, my Explorer window was crashing when it was launched by apps, when I right-clicked the recycle bin Windows would blue-screen, and applications wouldn't open multiple times (once I closed many apps, they would never reopen until I rebooted Windows). I eventually had to wipe everything and try again, and the second time it worked fine. I had waited this long so that hopefully this wouldn't happen to me - hah, fooled me.
A source of genetically engineered animal-human hybrids, combining the best features of both, would be invaluable to a modern military... What could possibly go wrong?
I don't know about you, but I read this as:
"We're thinking about punishing you, but we don't know what you've done wrong. Can you make us a list of everything you've done wrong so we can determine how much to punish you? Thanks!"
And you expect an unbiased answer?
I wonder how long these patients get to "play" with the new toys they've been given access to. When the study is over, do they have to go back to where they were when they started? Or do they get to keep using the devices?
North Korea just announced a Bug Bounty program called, "Hack the Pentagon" too. Except, they're encouraging the hacking of critical systems. "Tell us first, get big reward!" is the slogan for the program.
Oh, if I were only an Onion contributor...
L. Ron Hubbard is famous for saying, "You don't get rich writing science fiction. If you want to get rich, you start a religion." Are political parties the new religion? With PACs and donors and so on, is McAfee starting his own political party because he truly wants to change the world, or is he doing it just to line his own pockets? There's gold in them thar hills!

Yet another reason for people to be screaming, "This Broadband is for the birds!"
Yeah, I was thinking an International Peace Prize for the 11 minutes of peace brought to the world.

Am I the only one who can foresee the best newspaper headline: "Chinese Dong caught 'doing business' behind Laptop" I'm just saying...

By 2020, the moon might be the closest place we will be able to find ACTUAL ice. Thanks Global Warming! #SarcasmRocks
Why the "SLASHVERTISEMENT" today? At first I thought this was for April Fools, but now I'm not so sure.
