    Doesn't really matter for Ashley Maddison users though, they all want to find something hard.

  2. Re:Well... on McAfee Acquires VPN Provider TunnelBear (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    You just typed the word McAfee. Better rip the A,C,E,F and M keys from your keyboard.

  3. No one pays per month if they are smart and are able to make a single $99 payment.

  4. Alright on Adult Human Brains Do Not Produce New Neurons, Study Suggests (newatlas.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Childhood = build the internet
    Adulthood = route around damage, like the internet

  5. Re:Night on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If someone dies because of this, would Amazon lose in court?

  6. Re:"We're aware of this and working to fix it." on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're been working hard for the last 48 hours to make the laugh less creepy.

  7. Indeed, plus or minus ten percent is nothing. Maybe they tried to time their announcement with the usual wednesday drops?

    In any case, "If a platform offers trading of digital assets that are securities and operates as an 'exchange,' as defined by the federal securities laws"...

    So what are "digital assets that are securities"? What do they define as being "assets" and "securities"? What's the difference between the gold coins in World of Warcraft and a dozen Dogecoins?

    I was told there would be cake.

    Oh man, stay away from the game Portal.

  9. Is this supposed to be a joke? on Facebook's VPN Service Onavo Protect Collects Personal Data -- Even When It's Switched Off (medium.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    VPN from Facebook? Of course they're going to collect data!

    I'd go as far as calling it a VFN instead, there's probably nothing private about it.

  10. Re:'Material Design' = 'We don't know how to desig on Chrome 65 Arrives With Material Design Extensions Page, New Developer Features (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't forget the few last versions of macOS. I'm on 10.9 and it looks better than the flat crap in 10.11.

  11. Re:I never saw the purpose of these on Apple To Release a Cheaper MacBook Air Later This Year (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 1

    The only other options are the MacBook which is more expensive, has a better but a worst everything else or the MacBook Pro which is even more expensive and has a worst keyboard and no classic USB ports.

  12. Re: Broadcasting to others what you see. on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    That's good, but not good enough.

    When I get in my car, even I don't know where I'm going.

  13. Re:Can it show texts? on Mercedes' Futuristic Headlights Shine Warning Symbols On the Road (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Netflix? Don't be ridiculous. These are pure black and white dots.

    On the other hand, maybe they could display Game Boy games using dithering.

    Why would you need a guide for buying a specific brand of tires?

    You do realize I was being sarcastic... right?

  17. Re:Apple is for fags on Leaked Apple Email Hints at the Possible End of iTunes: Report (cultofmac.com) · · Score: 1

    Come on guy, you can troll better than that.

    There's the overpriced status symbol smartphone, the missing headphone jack, the stupid notch on the iPhone X, the lack of microSD slot, the non-removable battery...

    Oh, right - the other companies copied those "features" so you can't make fun of that anymore.

  18. Re:Video Cards on Oculus Rift Is Now the Most Popular VR Headset On Steam (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    How about running VR in 640x480? Maybe in 16 colours to increase the frame rate a bit?

  19. Is there an open-source-style project out there to build a Vive/Oculus/etc-compatible VR headset for a lot cheaper?

    "Google: the ADHD company"

    It's a real "in your face AT&T" move.

    Some websites I visit also have an "in your face" section, but they have nothing to do with fiber.

    Is the iPhone X really number 10, though? Because there's no iPhone 9 right now.

    I'm thinking this is like they went from Mac OS 9 to Mac OS X, the iPhone X represents a new line of iPhones.

    In any case, I'm waiting for the iPhone XXX. They'll have to allow VR porn and 3D hentai apps on it!

    Depending on who's using them, those private firearms could maybe hold up against a few SWAT teams.

    But there's a lot of SWAT teams. Then there's the army, the navy and the air force.

    After that, there's all the secret organizations you don't know about, some of them probably equipped with alien weapons.

    So yeah, good luck revolting against your government, your puny hand guns will surely let you defend yourself against all of those.
