  1. You fools! on First Evidence That Google's Quantum Computer May Not Be Quantum After All · · Score: 2, Funny

    You changed the outcome by measuring it!

  2. No valid distribution method... on Proof-of-Concept Malware Captures Every Tap On Smartphones Or Tablets · · Score: 1

    The article even says it would be unlikely to pass the various store security checks. So the moral still remains to not install software from an unknown and untrusted source. This is more or less a universal truism regardless of platform.

  3. Weather? on GPM Satellite To Usher In a New Era of Weather Observation · · Score: 3, Funny

    Living on the west coast, I just assumed we had gotten rid of that stuff.

  4. And for the rest of us? on LibreOffice 4.2 Busts Out GPU Mantle Support and Corporate IT Integration · · Score: 1

    Unclear if I can get a copy without all this unwanted bloat.

  5. (sigh) we all know what's coming. on 3D Printing of Human Tissue To Spark Ethics Debate · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Admit it, the first thing we're all going to print is genitalia.

  6. Re:Why is it so cheap? on $499 3-D Printer Drew Plenty of Attention at CES (Video) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    By comparison, their filament is around three times as expensive as others (more if you just get bulk rolls) at ~$46.67/kg.

  7. Re:Bigness destroys companies on Gmail Bug Sends Thousands of Emails To One Man · · Score: 1

    Hipster gMail user had an account before it was mainstream.

  9. Re:DOOOOOOOMED on Doomsday Clock Remains at Five Minutes to Midnight · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yup. It's like a less useful Homeland Security threat level color.

  10. I think I speak for us all... on Irish Politician Calls For Crackdown On Open Source Internet Browsers · · Score: 5, Funny

    I think I speak for all people who know much of anything about computers when I ask, "what?".

  11. Now I need a new thermostat... on Google Buys Home Automation Company Nest · · Score: 1

    Unless Google WONT be using the temperature I set it at for marketing purposes. I get enough robo-calls about solar, heating, etc as it is.

  12. Re:And thus ends Yelp. on Court Rules Against Online Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Right, and since now posting negative reviews can get you sued, what will happen?

  13. And thus ends Yelp. on Court Rules Against Online Anonymity · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Since the whole point is to give unbiased feed back and the chance of repercussions by definition creates a bias, that's more or less the end of that.

  14. Re:Boycott? on Sony Announces Game Streaming Service · · Score: 1

    Tricky... I would have to first by a playstation before I could boycott the service.

  15. It's not that ChromeOS is good... on Chromebooks Have a Lucrative Year; Should WinTel Be Worried? · · Score: 2, Informative

    it's that Windows 8 isn't.

  16. Re:So make the power reliable... on Power-Loss-Protected SSDs Tested: Only Intel S3500 Passes · · Score: 1

    The people in Starbucks look at me funny when I walk in with my Macbook Air and a UPS.

  17. Re:Obvious Question on What Would It Cost To Build a Windows Version of the Pricey New Mac Pro? · · Score: -1, Redundant
  18. Re:Understandable, but... on Surge In Online Orders Overwhelms UPS Christmas Deliveries · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I've been seeing commercials about a company that has solutions for this sort of thing... can't recall their name but they keep yammering on about "logistics'.

  19. Re:Advancing in what direction? on A Flood of Fawning Reviews For Apple's Latest · · Score: 4, Interesting

    More stuff goes into racks then just servers. Go into any audio studio, the Mac Pro will be in a rack. Same with video editing bays. But I guess Apple isn't interested in those markets anymore. Shame really...

  20. Re:Advancing in what direction? on A Flood of Fawning Reviews For Apple's Latest · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Advancing backwards. The new "Mac Pro" is just a "Mac Cube" version 2. I for one will not be buying one, which means my current Mac Pro is the last Macintosh I'll be getting. No internal drive bays, no expansion slots, not a professional computer. I would have to cover my desk with external devices to match what's in my current tower configuration.

  21. Not enough, on Alan Turing Pardoned · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Charges should have been dropped. A pardon implies that he was actually guilty of something worthy of criminalization .

  22. Can't you just make your own? on Free Software Foundation Endorses a "Truly Free" Laptop · · Score: 1

    Not really seeing what I get out of paying them to do this when in theory I could just make my own from a used laptop off eBay.

  23. Re:"With its overtly Christian message" on Satanists Propose Monument At Oklahoma State Capitol Next To Ten Commandments · · Score: 2

    They are not included in the Quran

    Just as they are not in the New Testament. Not sure what your point is.

  24. Re:Thanks, Jenny McCarthy on U.S. Measles Cases Triple In 2013 · · Score: 1

    Really! I will have a VERY hard time master-bating to her old images tonight.

  25. Re:Just drive there on Gov't Puts Witness On No Fly List, Then Denies Having Done So · · Score: 2

    Not even a car rented from Kayak Car Rental can cross the ocean.
