  1. Professional just means you get paid... on 60-Year-Old Maths Problem Partly Solved By Amateur (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    it does not mean you're any good at what you do.

  2. Just like they found the one (and only one) using their Facebook admin access to stalk women. Problem solved!

  3. It's TOTALY not because they were a rip off... on Cambridge Analytica Shuts Down Amid Scandal Over Use of Facebook Data (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    I mean, sure they use discredited pseudoscience to claim to be able to provide consumer predictions that they have never been able to back up with results, but that's beside the point!

  4. I think that may be the core of the issue right there...

  5. Re:And they want to run a dating service?!?! on Facebook Fires Employee Who Allegedly Used Data Access To Stalk Women (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    "unfollow means no!"

  6. So... like they draw a pentagram, hold hands and say his name three times while looking in the mirror? Does that work?

  7. I don't believe this for a second... on Facebook Is Investigating a Claim That an Employee Used His Position To Stalk Women (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    There's no WAY it's "an" employee.

  8. Re:Who are they for? on Snapchat Takes a Second Try at Spectacles (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Revenge porn?

  9. Re:Locks in general, are not very secure. on Hackers Built a 'Master Key' For Millions of Hotel Rooms (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Passwords are different, by comparison most locks have four pins, most passwords require eight or more characters.

  10. Locks in general, are not very secure. on Hackers Built a 'Master Key' For Millions of Hotel Rooms (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They are a deterrent against casual attacks, and nothing more.

  11. But do they know what he's supposed to do? on Senate Confirms Trump's Pick for NSA, Cyber Command (politico.com) · · Score: 1

    Based on the Facebook stuff, they seem to not understand how the tubes work...

  12. Re:Help Please on Netflix, Amazon, and Major Studios Try To Shut Down $20-Per-Month TV Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It comes from the web. They are tapping into the streaming content that others provide, inserting their own ads and calling it a day. Thus the lawsuit, they are basicly "rebroadcasting" content without permission.

    So at the end of the day, you're paying 20$ a month for a web browser and an aggregation service.

  13. Re:As if broadband providers worried about PR on Net Neutrality Is Over Monday, But Experts Say ISPs Will Wait To Screw Us (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're willing to shell out extra for the business-class connection, most the other providers are just fine too. Most households can't afford to spend $105 per month on a network connection though.

    Well that's the thing, after a few years my "low cost" XFinity plan ballooned to 275$ a month. Business class was cheaper.

  14. And only Will Smith can stop them! on Amazon Has a Top-Secret Plan to Build Home Robots (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I assume.... and perhaps it's the Will Smith from tested.com

    I don't know about you, but I have a choice between Comcast and xfinity. /s

    Which actually is a choice... Comcast Buisness service, while expensive, is no nonsense and fairly OK. I dropped XFinity in favor of Comcast and have no regrets.

  16. Well duh.... on Users Don't Want iOS To Merge With MacOS, Apple Chief Tim Cook Says (smh.com.au) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    We saw what it did to Windows 10. It's.... not gud.

  17. How many of them are hentai porn? on 4.9% of Websites Use Flash, Down From 28.5% in 2011 (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Because that's the only place.... my friend.... sees flash these days.

  18. Re:Does anyone still sell a "dumb" TV? on Amazon and Best Buy Team Up To Sell Smart TVs (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, but they tend to cost more... they're used for things like restaurant menus these days.

  19. Re:Soon to be a new show on "history" channel! on What It's Like To Live in America Without Broadband Internet (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    For it to be as bad as duck dynasty it would have to be a bunch of Google employees pretending to not have internet access....

  24. int getRandom() {
    return 4; // generated by dice roll
