  1. lolol So now we know how Brain was created. :)

  2. Doubt AT&T will sell Direct TV, so.... on Justice Department Tells Time Warner It Must Sell CNN Or DirecTV To Approve Its AT&T Merger (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    .....CNN will have to go. Maybe MSNBC will buy them. lololol :)

  3. Too bad MOBDRO's not available for Roku. on Pirate TV Services Are Taking a Bite Out of Cable Company Revenue (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Heard that MOBDRO's the bomb, but I don't really want to go the cast route to play such content on my Roku. Oh well. :)

  4. Here's another possibility. on CERN Scientists Conclude that the Universe Should Not Exist (ign.com) · · Score: 1

    Like most star explosions, (including the formation of black holes), you get 2 jets of matter spieling outwards in opposite directions. What if one jet's what we call matter and the other anti-matter. How's that for formulating a theory. Can I prove this? Of course not; thus it's a theory. :)

  5. Damn; wish I would have purchased $1000 in.... on Julian Assage Taunts US Government For Forcing Wikileaks To Invest In Bitcoin (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    .....bitcoins back in 2010. :)

  6. When folk start dying in accident caused by .... on House Passes Bill To Speed Deployment of Self-driving Cars (go.com) · · Score: 1

    ....self driving cars, we shall see this idiocy repealed. Trust me; you won't see me getting in a car that drives itself any time soon. Any machine can be corrupted by a hack. I still remember watching what almost happened to Will Smith's character in iRobot and that was enough for me to realize, there's no way you can safeguard the controls to my liking since what can be thought up will happen. Maybe over decades, I might change my opinion, but so far I'm not impressed. :)

  7. Well, I do know Shoutcast still exist. on What Happened To Winamp? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Recently (well, January) added the Shoutcast channel on my Roku. Fantastic. Much better than Spotify, imo. :) Haven't played with WinAmp in over 8 years (didn't re-install when I upgraded my WinXP to Win7 back then and now that machine finally pooped and bought a Win8.1 which I upgraded to Win10). Still, I do like Shoutcast and a brain cell reminded me of Shoutcast and I decided to do a search to see if they still exist and indeed they do. :)

  8. I remember back in the late 80s reading.... on Mass Market Hopes For Battery-free Cell Phone Technology (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    ....an article, I believe from Byte Magazine, about micro tesla coils on a chip that too advantage of all the latent ratio signals that always are around us. About time someone figured out how to actually implement a device that can turn these radio waves into useful energy to power up devices. :)

  9. Time for the judicial to know its place. on Court Blocks EPA Effort To Suspend Obama-Era Methane Rule (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    OK; I'm for being good stewards of God's green earth, but now the courts ruling on a rule that's not even a law? The court's overstepped their authority period. Time for the court to judge law and not un-passed rules that are dictates from a commander and chief. It's the executive branch that enforces such rules. It's only the judicial's responsibility to rule on current law. :)

  10. Failure due to wrong orbit or crash? on China's Rocket Fails After Liftoff (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Still haven't heard what the issue was that defined the launch a failure. :)

  11. lol :)

  12. Re: And when the jobs flee the towns where..... on 61 Mayors Commit To Adopt, Honor and Uphold Paris Climate Accord After US Pulls Out (curbed.com) · · Score: 1

    How can you provide actual evidence when the accord's not passed Anon? Can only provide the opinions of several studies and the validity of their expertise since I'm not an economist. Plenty of anecdotal stories out their if you weren't a complete moron to not have already looked that information up for yourself. I'll provide just one link for you though (just in case you are a moron). :) http://www.uspa24.com/bericht-...

  13. Unfortunately, automation will displace more jobs than it creates. The question is, do we embrace the Ubuntu group's solution, or, will some technology get invented that helps stir the creation of more jobs than not? Time will tell. :)

  14. And when the jobs flee the towns where..... on 61 Mayors Commit To Adopt, Honor and Uphold Paris Climate Accord After US Pulls Out (curbed.com) · · Score: 0

    .....these mayors rule, they too will be without a job. The Paris accord is a farce for a global agenda and would end our sovereignty. This accord would do little to help the climate. Good that President Trump nixed this farce. :)

  15. If tardigrades can survive deep space and ..... on Dormant Diseases Frozen In the Ice Are Waking Up (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    ....re-animate upon entering the earth, maybe a virus travelling on an asteroid can survive too. It's possible that some of the pandemics that have plagued this planet came from space since the illness occurred across several continents near instantaneously. Just saying we all are always going to experience such risks whether from this planet or elsewhere. Just maintain your health and hopefully your own immune system will be strong enough to survive the onslaught. :)

  16. The dirty little secret. on How Good is Antivirus Software at Protecting Itself? (tomsguide.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no perfect anti-virus program. The only thing that comes close is using a sandbox and you religiously do all of your online stuff in that sandbox. You preferably use a sandbox with a golden recovery point or use a program like Deep Freeze which resets your session upon reboot or uncontrolled power down. I prefer just using Virtualbox and an OS that run within it. You can recover your golden setpoint within 10 seconds (no joke). This protection scheme alone will not protect against keyloggers though. :)

  17. We shouldn't bother until..... on Trump Has Grand Plan For Mission To Mars But Nasa Advises: Cool Your Jets (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ....we have a way to travel at least 10% the speed of light. Way too many dangers in Space for long term travel by any biological entity other than a few microbes or tardigrades. :)

  18. And you are surprised, because.....? on AT&T Brings Fiber To Rich Areas While the Rest Are Stuck On DSL, Study Finds (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    The rich always gets the silver spoon. :)

  19. You you folks have not watched the SyFy TV ..... on Neuroscientists Weigh In On Elon Musk's Mysterious 'Neural Lace' Company (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    .....series Continuum, you need to. This crap's (story that is) is crazy stuff. It should be banned before it's too late for us. :) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  20. Will give Playstation Vue a run for its money. on YouTube Unveils YouTube TV, Its Live TV Streaming Service (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Might actually be interested in this one; still, $35 is a bit much since right now I can find streams for free (but for how long is anyone's guess). :)

  21. Good; maybe now they'll finally show Niburu in.... on Slooh Observatory Is Webcasting Today's Rare 'Ring of Fire' Eclipse (space.com) · · Score: 1

    ....all its glory. lolol :)

  22. I'm all for private unions; just not Public. on Tesla Employee Calls For Unionization, Musk Says That's 'Morally Outrageous' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    FDR was against public unions as well (for those that didn't know). Since I'm no fan of Musk, I think this is poetic justice. lol :)

  23. What ever happened to capsaicin injections? on Scientists Cure Mice of Diabetes Using Cells Grown Inside Rats (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    What ever happened to capsaicin injections as a cure? http://www.naturalnews.com/021... My bet is it wasn't expensive enough to do. Besides, the government want us all to die instead of cure diseases. :)

  24. Hope those that depend on these satellites for navigation don't get lost. ;) :)

  25. Easy if you are willing to freely share your flow. on Ask Slashdot: What's The Best Place To Suggest New Open Source Software? · · Score: 1

    Using tools that already exist, create your art and explain how you actually achieved the effect. Then, you get coding geniuses that will want to automate your result to create other art. I've been lucky that some of my madness have inspired coders to automate some of my flows (and very appreciative too). You have to give a little to get more. Not rich, but I heard that rich people implement this philosophy too. :)

    Some shameless self promo of things that I concocted and then others actually created automated presets for me afterwards:
