  1. Re:Beaten by generic phones on Lenovo Lays Off a Chunk of Its Motorola Smartphone Team · · Score: 1

    Does it work in the US on Verizon?

  2. Re:You can say what you want on The Hitchhikers Guide To the Galaxy Returns With the Original Cast (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Peter Davison appeared in the TV version. He was the cow that wanted to be eaten in the restaurant at the end of the universe.

  3. How was it sealed? on 132-Year-Old Science Experiment Washes Ashore In Australia (npr.org) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I wonder how the bottle was sealed. If it was a cork, I'm surprised that it didn't rot or leak after 130 years.

  4. When I was a young child riding in the car with my mother, I would often line up a speck of dirt on the car window with some landscape feature in the distance and shoot an imaginary laser from my eye. As a result, I never became Cyclops from the X-Men.

  5. Re:Your duty is clear on Most Americans Think AI Will Destroy Other People's Jobs, Not Theirs (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I'd like to see AI figure out how to OTDR and repatch around fiber cable that was chewed-through by rats when the LIU is mounted in a wall-mount enclosure behind an out-of-service boiler in a mechanical room of a 50 year old building that was built without even telephones in-mind originally.

    It orders a wireless mesh router from amazon, of course.

  6. Screen Saver on Samsung's New TVs Are Almost Invisible (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Sure. Set the background as a photo of the wall behind your TV. Then load a screen saver that shows cockroaches running around the screen.

  7. Re:It's interesting on Amazon Admits Its AI Alexa is Creepily Laughing at People (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    iFixit's teardown of the Amazon echo indicates that it had 256MB of RAM, and 4GB of flash memory.

  8. Re:P E O N on Google Launches First Android P Developer Preview (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Rearrange the letters to get your answer: N O P E

  9. Who? on Microsoft Confirms Windows 10 'S Mode' (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft head honcho Joe Belfiore confirmed today..."

    I thought Satya Nadella was the Microsoft Head Honcho.

  10. What are you talking about? Chicks really dig it when you hack an old motherboard to support a late-model CPU.

  11. "Uber buys half of the tickets for mocking play, and gives tickets to employees!"

  12. Re:Justifying Firefox on The Slow Death of the Internet Cookie (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't know how to delete just certain select cookies from the about:config window. I searched for "cookie" and all I see are integer or boolean values.

    Firefox's cookie management is terrible because I don't want to look through a tiny mail-slot at my huge list of cookies. Let me RESIZE the window FFS! But that doesn't mean I want the whole thing to GO AWAY!

  13. Key Labels on 'Repeatable Sanitization' is a Feature of PCs Now (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    I have noticed that users who constantly use hand sanitizer (with alcohol content) tend to wear off the letters on their keyboards. If you look closely at the keys, you can see that most keyboards use little decals for the key labels. If HP has TRULY taken care of this, then they must have laser-etched the labels onto the keys. Otherwise, the labels will just come off anyway.

  14. Justifying Firefox on The Slow Death of the Internet Cookie (axios.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    This sounds like an article that is justifying what Firefox is doing: dropping cookie management from the newest version. I don't agree, and I insist that Firefox keep some sort of cookie management facility.

  15. You can go to any home improvement store and buy a METAL coat hook and a couple of screws. They probably come in packs of 3 or 4, so you can mount some for your friends.

  16. Who can explain this? on Best Buy To Close All 250 of Its Smaller, Mobile Phone Stores (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Best Buy's 2018 Q1 earnings surpass Wall Street's projections... So they're closing stores. WTF?

  17. Re:Much ado about nothing on Children Struggle To Hold Pencils Due To Too Much Tech, Doctors Say (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Not in the U.S... When these kids grow up, they will still need to sign legal documents and even use a stylus for the electronic credit card reader. If they just sign with an "X", then I predict massive fraud and identity theft.

  18. ...and the lego set was missing the 's' piece.

  19. Re:First world problem on Automated Cars Are Not Able To Use the Automated Car Wash (thetruthaboutcars.com) · · Score: 1

    Cars that use human drivers aren't much better. The humans that drive them also need meticulous hand washing.

  20. It's payback for Gym class. That's where all the jocks felt superior and made fun of the physically inferior nerds. Now all the nerds get to laugh at the jocks because they can't understand the difference between a function and a procedure.

  21. Re:What is this thing Computer Science? on The College Board Pushes To Make Computer Science a High School Graduation Requirement · · Score: 1

    The science *OF* a computer is electronics, which they won't be teaching you in computer science class.

  22. I also make that request, but without the respect.

  23. Re:One day I'll go on a rampage with violent games on President Trump: 'We Have To Do Something' About Violent Video Games, Movies (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Your stick-o won't go whacko when it's a wico.

  24. Hell, just imagine what a banana peel would do...

  25. Re:Reminds me of an old TV show on Intel Has a New Spectre and Meltdown Firmware Patch For You To Try Out (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    There was an episode where he was cybernetically augmented like robocop, and the title of the episode was "Hammeroid". :)
