  1. They must not have followed proper procedures on T-Mobile/Sprint Merger Is In Danger of Being Rejected By DOJ (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    These Citizens United must not have distributed enough Free Speech.

  2. And IPO means only one thing these days... on Slack Says It's Filed To Go Public · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...they have no way of making money.

  3. I paid less than $200 for this thing three years ago, and not only does everything still run on it, but the battery will last 2 or 3 days without needing a recharge.

  4. This guy makes shit up faster than Trump, but people actually believe him

  5. Hope it's for a Prime customer on Jeff Bezos Is Planning To Ship 'Several Metric Tons of Cargo' To the Moon (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    Free shipping

  6. Re:Rebound due? on Bitcoin Sinks Below $6,000 as Almost Everything Crypto Tumbles (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    It was never "an investment option", it became a way for speculators to scam cash out of those who believed it was. The problem with "crypto" is that there is NOTHING behind it. Since it can be "mined" from nowhere, it does not even represent a debt, as all other currency types do.

  7. No way on Ask Slashdot: Do We Need a New Word For Hacking? · · Score: 1

    I LOVE it when someone gets an email with something that looks like my name in the "From" field and they tell me "YOU'VE BEEN HACKED!!!"

  8. Keep it to the outside margin so some idiot doesn't screw up the printer files. Source: idiot who has screwed up printer files.

  9. Just breed more delicious elephants

  10. Wow! Those Chinese are smart! on China Approves Giant Propaganda Machine To Improve Global Image (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    (see, it's working already)

  11. It is a hobby. Why it is considered NEWS is another matter.

  12. In other words... on Dropbox Files To Go Public · · Score: 1

    ...they can't figure out a way to make money. Any potentially profitable company is now bought out by private investors.

  13. So now instead of pictures of text... on YouTube CEO: Facebook Should 'Get Back To Baby Pictures' (cnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...we get videos of pictures of text.

  14. Wooder Ice on Scientists Create a New Form of Matter: Superionic Water Ice (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Not as good as Rita's

  15. Re:No need for it any more on America's Fastest Spy Plane May Be Back -- And Hypersonic (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a need - a reason for the US Government to hand over a trillion dollars to Lockheed

  16. Sports on T-Mobile Is Becoming a Cable Company (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    After arguing with Verizon recently, I thought about "cutting the cord". But I am old and I watch baseball. It seems that I have no way to do so UNLESS I have cable. I can get MLB "All Access", but this should really be called "All Access Except for the Local Team that You Want to Watch". Or I could possibly watch using the NBC Sports app, but I have to have a cable account number...

  17. Definitions don't really matter on What Does Artificial Intelligence Actually Mean? (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Computer systems will become more and more capable, and will be entrusted with more and more tasks, ultimately being able to do just about anything we would like or need them to do. And there will be arguments over whether they are truly "intelligent", because all these things will be done via algorithms which are well-understood, from a foundation designed by humans. But it really will not matter if it passes someone's definition of "intelligence" at all.

  18. The important issue here on 'Watershed' Medical Trial Proves Type 2 Diabetes Can Be Reversed (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    "Sachet" does not mean "Packet". I've seen this a number of times recently and it's driving me nuts. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  19. Lesson learned from KSP on SpaceX's First Falcon Heavy Launch Will Now Take Place In 2018 (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Use lots of struts

  20. Try making it clear on How a Wi-Fi Pineapple Can Steal Your Data (And How To Protect Yourself From It) (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    One thing that would help is if you actually told people what is going on. If you warn people of a possible "Wall of Sheep" attack from a "Wifi Pineapple" you are telling them nothing at all.

  21. Who wrote this? Donald Trump? on 'How Chrome Broke the Web' (tonsky.me) · · Score: 5, Funny

    "Now, this is a terrible thing to do. It's very, very, very bad, believe me, folks"

  22. Just what the world needs, another meaningless and arcane term for something that could be explained in just as many words.

  23. Applies only to solar panels for some reason? on Court Rules That Imported Solar Panels Are Bad For US Manufacturing (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Please explain...

  24. This is not even the first artificial enzyme.

  25. Another possible tactic on Researchers Win $100,000 For New Spear-Phishing Detection Method (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    They could try telling people what to look out for instead of scaring them with arcane and meaningless terms such as "spear-phishing"
