  1. Re: I still get them on 2.7 Million Americans Still Get Netflix DVDs in the Mail (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Me too, two a month...but even better is my local library with their plethora of foreign and independent films. Current Hollywood films all suck royally, so really, who needs streaming garbage.

  2. What's in a name? on Cats Can Recognize Their Own Names, Study Suggests (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    I named my kitten 'Heygetoffofthere' but she never pays me no mind. Many animals can be conditioned to respond to a stimulus if there is a reward or punishment. Animal ears andbrains are not so different from humans, so why would cats not respond. My dog on the other hand gets confused with any word that sounds like his name.

  3. Free lunch? on Opera Adds Free and Unlimited VPN Service To Its Android Browser (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Ain't no such thang. There are no altruistic software companies. You won't pay for this "VPN", but it will cost you something, like privacy. And yes, all Chinese companies are controlled by the Red State, similar to the way the US government is controlled by mega corporations. Screw China, Free Tibet!

  4. Re: Maybe lab grown chicken is best... on Fast-Growth Chickens Produce New Industry Woe: 'Spaghetti Meat' (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Calling industrial raised meat and other chemical laden junk that people ingest "food" is a real insult to actual, nutritious, safe, delicious, real food. But then Amerikans will pretty much buy what ever gobstoppping junk advertisers tell them too as long as the package is cute and it costs less than a pack of cigarettes.

  5. Re:The company will, but I won't on Microsoft Will Now Pester Windows 7 Users To Upgrade To Windows 10 With Pop-ups (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait a minute....Am I to understand that Microstuff actually provided support for Windows 7? Hmmm, I would have never thought of asking them for help. Its worked well for almost 10 years now with no crashes, or security issues for me. I don't see any great loss in MS dropping support.

  6. Wait.... that means that people in the Tramp administration are uninformed or lying...I can't believe that! Peace and Happiness Be Here Now

  7. Re:No meat, more potatoes on Tinder-Style App For Cows Tries To Help the Meat Market (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And oh yes, eating meat causes sever anger issues. Perhaps you need a psychologist as well as a nutritionist.

    Screw Amazon. Shop locally!

  9. No meat, more potatoes on Tinder-Style App For Cows Tries To Help the Meat Market (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The consumption of dead animals was likely useful before humans learned to farm better. I can sort of understand wanting to eat something in the dead of winter back in 1890. But now the whole meat industry is literally killing humans and the environment with their CAFOs ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/... ). If you saw what goes on there, I bet you would not eat another animal. It is such a terrible waste of land, resources, energy, and life to raise an animal just so a savage human can kill and eat it. There are still millions who think that humans need to eat meet to survive. This is just no so, but the meat lobby is huge and supplies 'studies' and 'news' with a lot of misinformation. But who am I to lecture. Go ahead and eat your dead cow, greasy potatoes, and flavored sugar water. Enjoy you diabetes, high blood pressure, cancer, and the polluted water that comes with that burger.

  10. What an uneducated, uninformed ass hole you are...probably a Christian dumbell who thinks Jesus was real...Go away will ya?

  11. Re: Its Fuqing Power Plant on China Is Restarting Its Reactor Pipeline, Westinghouse Isn't Invited (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Uhhh, no, Chinese companies definitely steal IP, pay their workers very little, and cause a lot of pollution. Just travel to China and work in one of their factories. Its the coal age over there. Develop o nuclear power plant? Oh great, here comes the China syndrome.

  12. Re: What an incredible innovation on Windows Setup Error Messages Will Soon Actually Help Fix Problems (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    At least the Amiga 1000 was snarky about it and presented one with a 'guru meditation' number in an unambiguous flashing red box when something totally unexpected happened.

  13. How long has Microsoft been writing software now? 35 years maybe. Its finally dawned on the company culture that perhaps error messages should help the user navigate ones poorly designed application! Brilliant! What will they think of next? Maybe regression testing with real data? User interface design ? It could be such a better user experience if MS would just make mice and keyboards.

    ...so the poor little plant died after its first day. https://www.theguardian.com/sc... Did Chinese stupidity really need to send a plant to the moon to discover that it would freeze and die during the moon's night time? Hello Chinese scientists! You are morons and copycats. Try something useful and original.

  17. Cancer doesn't just happen... on Cancer in America Is Way Down, For the Wealthy Anyway (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Its caused by environmental factors that the American Cancer Society ignores. I cannot be all that supportive of the American Cancer Society. They are in bed with some of the largest companies that profit from the "treatment" of cancer. Instead of promoting healthy life styles (like nutrition), and working to reduce avoiding toxins (such as polluted air) they continually support drug and surgery options. For example, writes Dr. Samuel S. Epstein, chairman of the Cancer Prevention Coalition, "Zeneca Pharmaceuticals--a spin-off of Imperial Chemical Industries is one of the world's largest manufacturers of chlorinated and other industrial chemicals, including those incriminated as causes of breast cancer. Zeneca has also been the sole multimillion-dollar funder of the National Breast Cancer Awareness Month since its inception in 1984, besides the sole manufacturer of Tamoxifen, the world's top-selling anticancer and breast cancer "prevention" drug, with $400 million in annual sales.

    I read everything I could find by Kian D. Vinge including Catspaw, The Snow Queen, and The Summer Queen. Really great writing with touches of commentary on the absurdity if our current, broken, American society.

  24. of your lfe, that is. A person could just refuse to buy IOT devices . No one is forcing you. So what if don't have the latest, whatever it is. Don't buy it, or if you must then hack it to disable the, rather ill conceive, connected part of your e-toilet. Get a life, read a book, go play outside kids!

  25. Really people, do we need this obvious capitslist BS. Its an interesting science fair project, but if you don't have the insight to know when you need some chicken soup, then you deserve to suffer your malady . Wake up people, you will always be smarter than the technology in your hand.
