  1. Re: What do you say now, Microsoft shills? on Windows 10 Now Showing Full Screen Ads On Lock Screen (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    I am still trying to rid myself of the tiles. For the last time, I don't want to look at MSNBC or play Minecraft!

  2. Nuclear on Sorry, But Lasers Aren't Taking You To Mars Anytime Soon · · Score: 2

    Nuclear is still the best way to get to Mars. If it weren't for the fact that the words "nuclear rocket" in the same sentence is somehow horrifying, we would have been there a while ago. I mean, it isn't even going to be on Earth people. If you really want we can even have it dock with the ISS so we just have to carry it up.

  3. Re: Lack of own server makes this happen on Database Error Exposes Sensitive Information On 1,700 Kids (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but it might be a hit with nerds who own their own servers.

  4. Nuclear Power on US Asks VW For Electric Cars (news.com.au) · · Score: 1

    I'm still not buying one until I can swap out the batteries with a nuclear reactor. Alert: Low Fuel: 1,000,000,000 miles before empty.

  5. Re: Hoax on US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Has Died (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually the Supreme Court said you couldn't do that for shorter recesses, namely three or fewer days. So as long as the Senate stays in session, every three days, they don't actually have to nominate anybody, even if nothing else is done. We are going to have a lot of bored Senators on our hands though. But if McConnell says, it is done. http://www.scotusblog.com/2014...

  6. Cynical view on The Ups and Downs of AMD (hackaday.com) · · Score: 0

    Either Intel has gotten more honest or they don't need to lie anymore. Bulldozer is basically the Pentium 4 for AMD. Hopefully Zen will be better as AMD has finally realized their mistakes. If Zen is half the chip it aspires to be it will still be a good buy. But if they did what they claimed... Imagine, say, a chip more powerful than the G3258. As a CPU. With an iGPU that plays games as well as current budget GPUs. For say $50. It's a ridiculous entry level chip, but if Zen is what pretty much everyone hopes... AMD could crush Intel entirely, smash NVIDIA, and seize a large portion of the mobile device market in the next few years. Or they could explode in a flashy way. Pretty much everyone is hoping for success though. Even Intel, because if AMD goes bust then they will be in a pickle with US antitrust law.

  7. Re: Never Going To Happen. on Wired Thinks It Knows Who Satoshi Nakamoto Is (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I might disagree with you on the environmental front Bitcoin is really backed by our global energy. Thus people in areas with cheaper power can get ahead in the same way that conventional currency trading does.
