  1. Re:Am I the only old nerd... on FCC Repeals Decades-Old Rules Blocking Broadcast Media Mergers (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Apart from broadcast TV, you mean the short period of time where only nerds used computers?

    I 'member! /memberberries

  2. I think they are blocking data URIs in the URL?

    That's what I understand when I read "block navigational data URIs".

    I don't see how embedding a base64-encoded string of a PNG image inside a CSS file could be used for phishing.

  3. Why do they always need to re-invent the wheel? Why can't they use RFC 3514 like everybody else?

  4. Re:Occupy Flash!! on Hollywood Strikes Back Against Illegal Streaming Kodi Add-ons (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    Alright, I'm in! But first, I'd have to subscribe to one of their lousy services...

    I've been cable and satellite free for over a decade now. I've done my part.

  5. Good on Hollywood Strikes Back Against Illegal Streaming Kodi Add-ons (engadget.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    For once they're going after the exact source of the problems instead of casting a net so wide that would have put the whole Kodi team itself in trouble.

  6. Re:Appology Accepted on Apology After Japanese Train Departs 20 Seconds Early (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Hello,

    I represent a Canadian supplier which has no contract with you at the moment.

    We apologize for not being one of your suppliers.

    Is it a coincidence it happened only three days after Pocky Day? I think not!

  8. Re:Milk boxes, Ice boxes on Amazon Key Flaw Could Let Rogue Deliverymen Disable Your Camera (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Most homes built until the 1980s had a box built into the porch next to the door, or a door built into the house next to the front door, that revealed a 2x2x2 area (sometimes larger) in which you could place things.

    Maybe in the area where you live, but not around here (Canada).

    It's a good idea, though. Instead of this crappy "Amazon Key" crap with a camera, they should be selling the "Personal Amazon Box", something you secure to your house and that the delivery guy has access to. Not the whole fucking house.

    So... bribes to defame? Isn't that like twice illegal? Why does that shit exists?

  11. Re:May as well be a billion miles away on Astronomers Find An Earth-Size World Just 11 Light Years Away (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe there is a way to calculate the adsorbtion spectrum of plants given an EM frequency output of a star? Even a rough estimate could be enough.

  12. PC or console? on League of Legends Rank Predicts IQ, Study Finds (plos.org) · · Score: -1

    Don't forget first-person shooters on consoles have auto-aim bullshit, you can't correlate significant statistics from that.

    100K Reddcoins each.

    At this point there's plenty of crypto-currencies to answer that question for nearly three centuries.

    Buy them 100K Dogecoin each. Who knows what will happen within a decade?

    We always laughed at people who buy big ass HDTVs to put into their small ass cars and count the abandoned HDTV boxes in the parking lot.

    Free HDTV boxes? I'm going to Walmart right now!

  17. Re:It's dying because the sales aren't very good on 'Black Friday Is Dying' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Competition is so stiff that the margins are already razor thin.

    What about the margin on thin razors?

    No idea but I'm pretty sure it will be integrated into the next version of systemd.

    The first time I heard someone from Belgique speak I thought most of it sounded more similar to Québécois than Parisian french.

    What would really kick ass, if done correctly, is a Metroid movie trilogy. Samus is not a D-cup bimbo hero so I hope they pick accordingly.

    He should listen to himself.

    I'm still waiting for Spaceballs Zero: The Prequel which would be a parody of SW episodes 1 to 3.

    Then again how can you make a parody of something like Jar Jar Binks, it's already a huge joke.
