  1. Is this what made U.S. diplomats sick in Cuba? on Acoustic Attacks on HDDs Can Sabotage PCs, CCTV Systems, ATMs, More (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Then the culprit would have been U.S. made and deployed technology, used for a false flag operation in order to diminish diplomatic contacts between cuban leadership and newly formed republican leadership in the USA. Something is really fishy around this Washington-based accusation... Cubans? With their 50-year-old bicycles and fifties-era vehicles?

  2. Russians! Russians! Russians! Russians! Russians! Russians! Russians! Russians everywhere! Behind every oak, behind every cloud, behind every shadow. (Sarcastic at its finest.)

  3. Do I hear molten salt nuclear reactors and hot air in one sentence? H2O steam the energy transfer medium in every nuclear reactor heat-to-electricity turbine-based convertor.

  4. Really? I have known this since my college times. on Reading Information Aloud To Yourself Improves Memory (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    17 years ago I took a college course named "How to learn to learn" and I must admit it was some of the best invested time ever. There are generally 5 main yet simple methods how to cram information from one's short term memory to one's long term memory. This one is one of them.

  5. CIA's job to sour up budding relations on Victims of Mystery Attacks In Cuba Left With Anomalies In Brain Tissue (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody knows no nothing, just like through Kennedy's assassination. Truth is, I'd rather see less of NGO's trying to infiltrate Cuban way of life and more of diplomatic relations rendezvouses. But that wishful thinkking doesn't fall in line to pre-charted lines of certain powerful figures in espionage apparatus of the USA.

  6. All hails to our Dear Leaderess Frau Merkel! Sieg Heil! (Now I can go puke.)

  7. And what about the U.S.-based opinion makers? on Thirty Countries Use 'Armies of Opinion Shapers' To Manipulate Democracy (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    They all work and reside in Langley, VA. Although they don't strictly bother about writing anything, they simply hack their way in and deploy a writing bot.

  8. Bitten by a mosquito? on Former Yahoo CEO Marissa Mayer Apologizes For Data Breach, Blames Russians (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Blame Russians!

  9. Answers are: YES, YES. But: on Ask Slashdot: Should I Allow A 'Smart TV' To Connect To The Internet? · · Score: 1

    First decide which device will be your primary content streaming device. Then updating the TV's system software and some of its basic apps can be followed by unplugging your TV from internet and leaving all the input from your BR player. I did it this way for my Mom's set-up, so she is not confused with Netflix on TV vs Netflix on her disc player. Same thing to us, different thing to them old folks.

  10. On the other hand on Laika, the Pioneering Space Dog, Was Launched 60 Years Ago Today (space.com) · · Score: 1

    How many americanised monkeys ended burned to death in explosions in USA's tests? I have heard of about 60 pieces of apes, incinerated during or shortly after lauch. But these truths are being kept under a deep deep all-deniable lid.

  11. But TOS link is so damn loud! on Is the Optical Cable Dying? (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    When compared to copper cables. I had my PS2 hooked up to AV receiver, and boy, it was twice as loud than RCA/cinch plugs. And the sound fidelity was also awesome. Crispiest sound I have ever heard up to this day.

  12. Good day, my name is Middleman. on Despite Sanctions, Russian Organisations Acquire Microsoft Software (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    How may I help you accrue unobtainanium?

  13. Insofar Russian effectivity stands at x7000. on Google Uncovers Russia-Bought Ads On YouTube, Gmail and Other Platforms (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    For every single dollar Russians supposedly "spent" on these nobody-ever-watches-ads, Hillary to had spend $7000 to be counter effective. Now who's the stupid one here? Media? Hillary? Slimey Demon-crats?

  14. Anyone unable to assemble an IKEA furniture on Ikea's Stuff is Tough To Assemble, So It Bought a Startup To Do It For You (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Should probably be locked up in a mental institute for feeble minded people. C'mon. I have been assembling my Mom's IKEA furniture since I was probably 12 year old kid.

  15. $100 000? Other new outlets quote $28 000 on Twitter Suspends Hundreds of Accounts Linked To Russian Operatives (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Will Twitter also suspend hundreds of accounts tied to U.S. operatives in Russia? Because they certainly paid more than meagre $100 000 for their advertisements to sow unrest and manipulate Russian voters during last gov't elections.

  16. 3D and 4K content has always been overpriced. on Amazon Slashes Prices on 4K Content in Response To Apple TV 4K's Launch (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Even on Blu-Ray discs. Paying for a two-hour-long mild entertainment with the equivalent of multi-tens-of-hours of fun with some video game is pretty insane concept to me. This is the main reason why bittorrents proliferated so much. And they will. They will once again rise just like a Phoenix out of ashes.

  17. It's all fine with me. on iOS 11 Is Causing Massive Battery Drain Problems (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    iPhone 6S+, although I'm noticing about 10-15 % increased battery discharge, but then, I switch it on and off every few minutes. Thus, so far, so good.

  18. Tell that to Floridians and their rep. Rodriguez on Court Rules That Imported Solar Panels Are Bad For US Manufacturing (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Thou shall not generate thy own electricity and power thy dwelling after massive hurricanes, or else! Omen! (evil music continues...)

  19. I think it's because people don't have the money on Apple's Latest Products Get Rare Mixed-Bag Reviews, Muted Reception (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Poor are getting poorer by getting into ever growing debt, while rich are getting richer by shifting around their Das Kapital.

  20. Illegal Migrants From Africa and Afghanistan on Diesel Cars Contribute To 5,000 Premature Deaths a Year In Europe, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 2

    Contribute To Over 5,000 Premature Rapings a Year In Just One Country In Europe, Says Study.

  21. Having too much cuban rum can do wonders. on Mystery of Sonic Weapon Attacks At US Embassy In Cuba Deepens (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    One can find himself inexplicably exposed to angry locals, and still not remember anything in the morning, other than self-suggested lies, where their bruises were caused by hypno-toad-ethical sonic waves.

  22. The more YOU hate it, the more WE like it! on Best Buy Stops Selling Kaspersky Security Software (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    Streisand effect at its fullest potential. God, this is far better effect than the solar eclipse a few weeks back.

  23. Back to pirating, folks! on Disney Is Pulling Star Wars and Marvel Films From Netflix (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Well done Bob, well done: I'm cancelling my Netflix account as well. With my 28 MB per second internet connection, who need multitude of legal streaming services anyway, huh Bob?

  24. Something like black Achilles or black Zeus? on Google Conducted Hollywood 'Interventions' To Change Look of Computer Scientists (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    When it won't work by brute force, use even more brute force? Et tu, Bruto?

  25. I intend to procreate 1 minute prior my death on Stanford Study Finds New Dads In US Are Older Than Ever (mercurynews.com) · · Score: 1

    And become the oldest Old Daddy on Earth.
