  1. Wouldn't work in Canada on General Mills Loses Bid To Trademark Yellow Color On Cheerios Box (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Not sure you guys have this in the U.S.A. but up here we have this brand called "NO NAME" and all their packages are yellow.

  2. I thought they were made from honey, nuts and cheerios?

  3. Electric cars cool, self-driving cars bad.

    If Musk really wants to "save the planet", drop the self-driving crap already. It makes the car more expensive so less people can afford one, meaning they keep their old polluting car or even buy a brand new polluting car.

    Elevators are a completely different scenario. It goes up or down, it's alone in its shaft, there's nothing to avoid while moving, there's specific places to stop and if repairs are to be made then it's powered down.

    Driving a car on the road is probably one of the worst case scenario for A.I. and we're trying to achieve that in the first dozen tasks given to A.I.

    I'd get in a pilotless plane long before I'd be a passenger in a driverless car.

    Good news, everyone! /ProfessorFarnsworth

  6. Great. Amazon.com now sells grocery items.

    Meanwhile, in Canada, Amazon.ca doesn't even sell their own Amazon Fire tablets.

  7. Re:Eating the world, right? on Node.js Forked Again Over Complaints of Unresponsive Leadership (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    I have "Karma-Bonus Modifier +1" (which is automatic) and no mod points. Nobody modded my comment +1 instead of modding the parent funny.

  8. No, Wally is already gone from the meeting to apply an urgent and critical security patch on the legacy systems.

  9. Those damn Xfinity routers are everywhere.

    Maybe in the U.S.A. I have no idea what they are or ever seen one.

  10. I don't know why, but I read that comment in Professor Farnsworth's voice.

  11. Re:Act before it's too late on Smartphone Maker HTC Explores Strategic Options (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    But without HTC, what's left?
    - Sony's VR headset is limited to PS4/etc.
    - Oculus is Facebook-infected.
    - Microsoft's going with its own thing as usual.
    - Apple's going with its own thing as usual.

    At this point I'd rather buy a VR headset from Viewmaster but all they sell is something to use with a smartphone. Given that smartphones keep changing sizes and shapes, that's not even a good short-term solution.

    Virtual +1 funny to you, my good AC.

  14. Act before it's too late on Smartphone Maker HTC Explores Strategic Options (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Steam/Valve, now is the time to buy the VR part of HTC: before it's too late.

  15. Re:WTF is wrong with people on Samsung TV Owners Furious After Software Update Leaves Sets Unusable (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    You've never heard of a universal remote?

    I tried using a Universal remote once. People in alpha centauri were not amused to be muted.

  16. Found the PHB. What do I win?

  17. The same could be said about systemd.

  18. What if the fucking thing connects to the Internet anyway, without telling you and without your knowledge? Oh, you're blocking everything on your router, are you? What about all your neighbours? Your smart TV could connect through their open wi-fi.

  19. Can we please get more of these posts instead of the stupid "APPS!" crap?

    Thank you.

    I'm not buying it until it has a pop-up roof, a fold-out bed and a built-in fridge and stove.

    Oh wait, that's for camping trailers.

    Carry on.

  22. Re: Better explanation on IRS Now Has a Tool To Unmask Bitcoin Tax Evaders (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    When ransomware hits, it's also barely a blip on the total number and total amount of transactions. Dumbass.

  23. Re:Better explanation on IRS Now Has a Tool To Unmask Bitcoin Tax Evaders (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    Stop trolling you fool. When Silk Road was closed, it barely made a dent in the daily crypto-currencies transactions. This is a well-known fact. You're just bitter than you didn't buy hundreds of Bitcoins in 2009.

  24. I think the proper Internet etiquette is to tell them "Up your butt with a cashew nut".

  25. Does porn count as "health-related"?
