  1. Re:Beauty is in the eye of the beholder on The Neon Glow of Tokyo Modified Car Culture (kottke.org) · · Score: 1

    And to make it worse, those cars are now even *LESS* fuel efficient!

  2. Re:Let Quentin Tarantino do one or two on Quentin Tarantino and JJ Abrams Team Up For 'Star Trek' Movie (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    I honestly would rather it be directed by Kevin Smith.

  3. Re:The visual kind of creeped me out on Why Some People Can Hear Silent GIF (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    When I opened the GIF, my headphones were hanging on a hook to the right of me. I swear I heard a muffled thump coming from that direction. It only happened for the first 3-4 cycles of the GIF, however. When I actually put on the headphones, I heard nothing.

  4. Re:Giraffe or Guilt? on Why Some People Can Hear Silent GIF (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    When I clicked the link, I didn't have Javascript enabled for that domain, so I only saw a non-animated JPG. (Jay-Peg)

  5. Re:It's not hard to figure it out on Gizmodo: Don't Buy Anyone an Amazon Echo Speaker (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe these devices have integral gunshot detectors inside. You wouldn't know unless you shot your spouse. Since it doesn't really happen very often, you wouldn't see a spike of activity during normal monitoring. If you fired several shots for testing purposes, then your neighbors might just squeal on you first.

    So you don't need a home pod or echo, just use an old cell phone that is plugged into a charger.

  7. Re:Is the author finally switching to OS/2 ?? on Lead Developer of Popular Windows Application Classic Shell Is Quitting · · Score: 1

    It will probably be released with IBM's new Personal System 3 (PS/3) hardware.

  8. Re:Hope someone picks it up on Lead Developer of Popular Windows Application Classic Shell Is Quitting · · Score: 1

    Didn't Ubuntu do something like that a while ago? You wanted to search for a file on your local machine, and their search also searched the internet.

  9. Re: Really? on 'App Truthers' Question the Accuracy of the Domino's Pizza Tracker (foxnews.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    97th and Lyndale Avenue South. Just last week I ordered a pizza for Carryout at 10:58PM. When I got to the store, the "open" light was off, and the waiting area was dark. The door was unlocked, so I went in. The Manager there said that they close for carryout orders at 11:00PM, but still make deliveries. This is done to prevent robberies late at night at the store.

  10. I wonder what kind of Auto Insurance Musk has...

  11. Re:Why is "Blockchain" even necessary, here? on Blockchains Are Poised To End the Password Era (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    Offline access will need to be protected with passwords anyway.

  12. Re:And still no DANE TLSA support in sight on Mozilla Revenue Jump Fuels Its Firefox Overhaul Plan (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    You might as well just hand out your passwords and credit card numbers in plain text to everyone so you stop believing the security theater.

    Is it just me, or are identity thieves just getting lazier these days?

  13. Re:On to Thundbrird? on Mozilla Revenue Jump Fuels Its Firefox Overhaul Plan (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could make Thunderbird as fast as Firefox...

  14. ...Or Disney could just change their download activation servers to not allow the block of codes sold to RedBox. Isn't that what the digital activation servers are FOR?

  15. Re:google should go one step better on Google Bans Apps From Displaying Lock Screen Ads (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What is the incentive for an advertising company (Google) to block ads?

  16. Re:This was a thing? on Google Bans Apps From Displaying Lock Screen Ads (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    People put up with ads because they don't want to PAY for apps. Ads can be ignored and forgotten - we are inundated with them every day, so it's easy to block them out.

  17. Re:Did the right thing... on An Unconscious Patient With a 'DO NOT RESUSCITATE' Tattoo (nejm.org) · · Score: 1

    A notary would have to burn their stamp into the skin as well.

  18. Posters don't click on the article because they are *NOT* commenting on the article, but rather commenting on other poster's comments. So what.

  19. Re:That's all fine and dandy... on Physicists Made An Unprecedented 53 Qubit Quantum Simulator (vice.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, it *CAN* and it *CAN'T*...

  20. LANTastic!

  21. Re:DIY Cryptocurrency Mining... on Bitcoin Hits $10,000 Because Ceilings Are Just a Construct, Man (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    Bullshit! If you want to mine your own cryptocurrency, you can do it with the CPU you are using right now. If you don't even have a CPU, you can do it by hand.

  22. Re:Making Reverse-Tracking Legal Would Solve This on Researchers Identify 44 Trackers in More Than 300 Android Apps (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Since WHOIS records are totally public, and accessible via the internet at no cost whatsoever, MILLIONS OF PEOPLE can view them. In fact, I'm sure there are bots that are scraping that info RIGHT NOW, in order to SPAM THE HELL out of those contacts with unwanted email, snail mail, phone calls, etc.

    It's really no wonder that ANY company uses that 'Result-by-proxy bullshit' as you call it. I wouldn't want all that spam either.

  23. Wait a minute... on Elon Musk Says He Is Not Bitcoin's Satoshi Nakamoto (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    In the last article about this, Musk said that he didn't even OWN any bitcoin. Now he says he can't remember where he put it.

    Sounds fishy to me.

  24. Re:Information wants to be free!! on Computer Science GCSE in Disarray After Tasks Leaked Online (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    How in the world do you 'leak a task'? If this was some sort of test or exam, then you could leak the questions, or leak the answers. If you leak a task, does that mean that the task is magically done for you?

  25. Re:Cosplay in 3...2...1... on Famous Robot from 1956 Movie Auctioned For $5.3 Million (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Forget cosplay. What we need are ROBOT COSTUME OLYMPICS! I want to see Robby Pole-vault!
