    Those puppies would be good if everything is prepped beforehand (I assume you're used to new or commercial construction?).
    Taping is the quickest part, mudding takes forever (waiting for each layer to dry).

  2. Ah, the royal 'we' on Google Urged the US To Limit Protection for Activist Workers (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    "We're not lobbying for changes to any rules." Rather, she said, Google's claim that the Obama-era protections should be overturned was "a legal defense that we included as one of many possible defenses"

    Thems weasel words Google.

  3. Whoever rated this troll must not be from Canada.

    Seems a better headline would be more along the lines of: Free apps make their money one way or the other.

    It's the browser wars all over again, just with google as king of the hill this time.

    It sounds like you're comparing the open-source Chromium browser to the closed-source Internet Explorer bullshit Microsoft pulled?

    If part of your web browser breaks from the addition of a div element to a website, then maybe Microsoft shouldn't be developing a web browser?

    Now you want me to remove the key from my pocket to put it into a holder so the car does not crash while driving down the road. Stupid suggestion and I would rather just go back to a regular key than that.

    The idea is people can't steal your car without the fob in direct contact with the car, you don't need to make it shutdown (sorry crash...), just not have the car start unless it's plugged in.
    I'm also not sure what locking the car has to do with anything? That'll work just as it did.

  15. Re:Some incorrect assertions on Thieves Are Boosting the Signal From Key Fobs Inside Homes To Steal Vehicles (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    The car could have a holder that ensures the fob doesn't run out of juice, or just not start if the fob isn't in a holder.

    but that's probably too expensive...

    Why doesn't the car turn off when the key is no longer "close" to it?

    The EMV chip has nothing to do with the mag stripe, this is just people doing the usual and skimming the mag stripes.

    You can taste more complex flavors in coffee than you can in wine.
    pour a few drops on a white plate and see for yourself what color your coffee is

    No, I'm not a coffee snob.

    Erm, hate to break it to you, but...

    Also pretty sure it's called black for the lack of milk, not the actual colour.

    Considering GTA came out in 97 and that bloomberg article says the brothers were hired by t2 in 98, probably just the reporter being lazy.

  21. Re:changes in your thoughts on Your Brain Waves Could Soon Replace Passwords Entirely (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    It'll be fine, you just update it every time, and account for the variances (that'll make it more secure...), I'm sure no major changes will ever happen to your brain.
    After all it's just three properly located sensors you need to attach to your head,

    https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/do...
    Interesting considering the fc article says 32 sensors, the paper says 30 and one of the authors of the paper also helped write the article...

    The total duration of the experiment was approximately 1.5 hours,
    including 0.5 hour for electrode placement and variable time
    in the breaks between blocks

    30 mins to attach them (I assume that's the 30 sensor, but it also seems like the 3 sensor test would take longer to do the actual testing), and I didn't bother looking too hard to see how long it'd take for the "password".

    Fourth, all data analyzed here were collected in a single session,
    meaning that the question of the biometric permanence
    of the CEREBRE protocol is still an open one. Addressing
    this question will require asking participants to repeat the
    protocol multiple times with temporal delay between sessions-
    acquisition of this data is currently ongoing in the lab

  22. Speed "limits" are a maximum. If I'm on a residential road with kids running around and parallel parked cars blocking the view then I'd slow down past the limit, I don't want a kid hood ornament (I like sleeping at night).

  23. They had better advertising when closing down then any other time, I probably would've signed up if I'd known.
