  1. It gets the colours out too on Scientists Discover Why Your Dirty Laundry Stinks (discovery.com) · · Score: 1

    Ozone and hydrogen peroxide also bleaches your clothes

  2. Re:New clothing has lots of chemicals in it on Scientists Discover Why Your Dirty Laundry Stinks (discovery.com) · · Score: 1

    The butyric acid and organosulfides smell pretty bad, and I doubt anyone would add them to clothing.
    Using an advanced instrument called a nose, I couldn't detect anything that smelled like any of the ketones they found either, but they were present in pretty small quantities in the study. They seem slike odd chemicals to add to clothing anyway.

  3. Toxins are poisons made by living organisms. Last time I checked, cars weren't living organisms

    Is there anything the media doesn't insist on calling poisonous, toxic or deadly anyway?

  4. Nice to see that the viral marketing is working

    Don't forget to buy the latest generic fps, guys

  5. Re:2 million valid credentials leaked? on Amid Data Breach, Google, Mail.ru and Yahoo Claim 98% of Leaked Credentials Bogus (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    98% for gmail, 99.98% for mail.ru

    I wouldn't be surprised if you could do better than that by reusing passwords from other breaches
    Everyone didn't get the don't-reuse-your-password memo

  6. What we've learnt from this on Amid Data Breach, Google, Mail.ru and Yahoo Claim 98% of Leaked Credentials Bogus (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    *) People's email credentials are being sold in large numbers on the black market
    *) If you choose to buy some of these, it's not unlikely that you'll get many outdated or bogus credentials

    Or in other words, planet Earth is still spinning around that big hydrogen ball

  7. You have to give them some credit on US Spy Court Didn't Reject a Single Government Surveillance Request In 2015 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    This is one of the few parts of the justice system that works as intended

  8. Encrypted stamp collection on White House Releases Report On How To Spur Smart-Gun Technology (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    "If we can set it up so you can't unlock your phone unless you've got the right fingerprint, why can't we do the same thing for our guns?

    This guy has got a point, why can't we encrypt physical objects? Hopefully the White House is working on a way to encrypt my stamp collection.

  9. By "available to researchers", do you mean that it's available to people in universities studying health or that it's being sold to companies willing to pay for it?

  10. I can't wait to see the ads on Google CEO Predicts AI-Fueled Future (usatoday.com) · · Score: 2

    a mobile device in your hand or a mini computer on your wrist, "will be an intelligent assistant helping you recieve the best advertising throughout the day."

    Oh man, I am looking forward to seeing all those great ads

  11. Re:The problem with America. on 40% of Silicon Valley's Profits (But Not Sales) Came from Apple (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    (Disclaimer: I am a historian, so I tend to think about the historical record when I see such allegations).

    Do you fit all history according to your believes?
