  1. iPhone 8, now with half the battery life!

  2.

    What's the use of FOIA requests nowadays anyway. The above is what you're likely to get.

  3. That process can be accelerated by heating the paper to 120 C (250 F) for 10 minutes.

    Or, just forget your documents in the car in summer one day and have them all erased.

  4. Not to mention "idle hands make for mischief". Paying people to sit around and do nothing is dangerous for any society.

  5. Re:Recursion is dead! on Developer Argues For 'Forgotten Code Constructs' Like GOTO and Eval (techbeacon.com) · · Score: 1

    Try writing an assembly language program without using jump.... what is that, if not goto? Elevating the non use of GOTO to the level of a religion is just as crazy as any other religion. There's a right way and a wrong way to use it, just like there's a right way and a wrong way to use a pair of scissors. Safety scissors are smart in pre-school but an adult is expected to use regular scissors without killing themselves. Is your programming at infant or adult level?

  6. Re:One line could use some explanation. on Privacy-Centric Linux Distro Tails 3.0 Will Drop 32-Bit Processor Support (betanews.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Yes I doubt this assumption too, simply because 64 bit processors are newer iterations closer to alterable microcode and "trusted computing".

  7. Re:I Live Under A Rock on Microsoft Seeks Trump Order Exemption for Workers With Visas (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    you actually fall for that tripe bullshit!?!?!?!

    They've been caught again and again because they're not even good liars. But sure - whatever. Everything you hear/read is true.

  8. Re:I Live Under A Rock on Microsoft Seeks Trump Order Exemption for Workers With Visas (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Yes you could rely on the lying MSM to tell you what they want it to mean. Or you could read the real thing here.

  9. CNN fake news on Milky Way Is Being Pushed Across the Universe (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    CNN has just discovered that gravity, an innate property of matter, is suspiciously absent from empty regions which are empty because they lack matter.

  10. Re:The end is near? on Scientists Marvel At 'Increasingly Non-Natural' Arctic Warmth (msn.com) · · Score: 1

    And how is this different from the previous case, where we're all fucked?

  11. In an ironic twist of fate, the perpetrator committed the arson in an attempt to collect money to pay his medical bills.

  12. Re:Are there more or do we just find more? on Asteroid Whizzing By Earth 6 Times Closer Than the Moon (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes. But their sphere of influence is limited to Kerbin and adjacent planets, as there is no official inter-stellar travel support.

  13. Re: Trump is what he said he was on The US Border Patrol Is Checking Detainees' Facebook Profiles (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Denying lawful residents the right to enter the United States and treating them like criminals at borders and airports isn't keeping America safe.

    No but it is a highly polarizing issue. Political genius. Divide and conquer. It's time for the enemies of America to stand up out of the crowd and make themselves known. So they can be head-shotted.

  14. That's not going to help on Facebook Hires Hugo Barra, Former Android VP and Public Face of Xiaomi, To Head Oculus · · Score: 1

    I said a long time ago that the numbers on Oculus did not make sense when FB bought it and we found out they wanted to sell units at $800 or so per. There is no way they can ever sell enough units to recover the initial investment. That is even less likely now that they have competition. Oculus will eventually run out of other people's money and die the fiery death it deserves. Of course I'm sure Hugo Barra will make a ton of money riding it into the ground.

    Yet you paid cash up front. They really don't care.

    It's a good year to be a mouse.

  17. Re:Thanks for reminding us on Mark Zuckerberg 'Reconsidering' Lawsuits To Force Property Sales in Hawaii (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Zuckerberg sure as hell knows he DOESN'T own it. And is willing to spend money on lawyers to sue in order to own it. Because the chunk he already bought is just not enough, he needs more. That's called "greed". There are plenty of other islands he could buy, but he'd rather force people to comply with what HE wants.

  18. So they correct the figures by removing women with hysterectomies from the group and the number jumps up, and then they claim that the cause is "unequal access to healthcare" causing higher stats in that group. So I take it the women are getting their uterus and cervix removed by NON health care professionals?

    Fire is pretty bad for you too.

  20. In bad faith? How come no one ever complains about casinos when they win?

  21. Establish that the PC is dying in the first place.

  22. You do not instantly go into shock and training is available from any doctor or nurse. It takes all of 5 minutes.

  23. Boo fucking hoo. Your argument does not apply to a situation where someone is charging 1000's of percent profit. The ONLY reason this happens is because it's a highly regulated, specialized industry with almost impossible barriers to entry AND a litigious mindset has convinced people that they're just too stupid to inject THEMSELVES the old fashioned way. Not to mention insurance companies who just pay whatever, because after all they just pass the cost onto YOU - they don't care.

    This has nothing to do with some poor hard working soul barely earning a buck, and everything to do with greed and getting away with murder.

  24. The epinephrine is actually much cheaper than $2

    Yeah but you have to let the guy make SOME profit.

  25. Yeah, $95 is the price of stupidity. And even then people will get it wrong with the auto-injector. Diabetics seem to manage and it's a lot easier to kill yourself with insulin.
