  1. Re:Software is eating the world. on Following Equifax Breach, CEO Doesn't Know If Data Is Encrypted (techtarget.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think you can blame clueless CEOs on software.

  2. How much? on The Booming Japanese Rent-a-Friend Business (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much that 12-year old paid to rent a father, because, 12-year olds don't really have a lot of money.

  3. As long as they don't censor "legitimate satire". Sure, keep the poor kids safe from ponies sliding into boxes of nails, but don't unjustly remove Charlie the Unicorn, or anything from Robot Chicken.

  4. Twisted facts... on Google Working To Remove MINIX-Based ME From Intel Platforms (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 0

    This doesn't line up with what I have heard over the past few months:

    "Intel's Management Engine (ME) technology is built into almost all modern Intel CPUs."
    and
    "Intel's ME technology is a hardware-level system within Intel CPUs that consists of closed-source firmware running on a dedicated microprocessor."

    How can the IME be INSIDE the CPU, when it's widely known that it monitors packets coming from your ethernet connection EVEN IF YOUR COMPUTER IS POWERED OFF? If it's powered off, there is no power going to the CPU!

  5. Get kids interested in programming... on Google Wants Google Doodles Taught In Public School, Warns Kids They Best Behave · · Score: 2

    ...by introducing them to the boring and tedious world of copyright and trademarks.

  6. Oh, Great! on 'Quark Fusion' Produces Eight Times More Energy Than Nuclear Fusion (futurism.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    This means that ubiquitous fusion energy is 50 years away again!

  7. Re:Something Is Wrong On the Internet on 'Something Is Wrong On the Internet' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously. "You Tube" is *NOT* "The Internet".

  8. Re:Why not? Explain the harm to me. on Ask Slashdot: Should I Allow A 'Smart TV' To Connect To The Internet? · · Score: 2

    Some smart TV's have been known to IDENTIFY the CONTENT that you are watching on it, and report that back to a server. It does this by fingerprinting various pixels around the screen. Now, you may not actually use your TV to watch hot latino donkey porn, but your content may be misinterpreted as that.

    Worried yet?

  9. Yes. on Are You OK With Google Reading Your Data? (infoworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I'm OK with Google reading my data... but only the data I *ALLOW* them to read by storing on their cloud service. For everything else, it's offline.

  10. Re:Rebranding on Broadcom Explores Buying Qualcomm (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    They also should have bought 3com.

  11. I wonder, what kind of Naval Collisions are unavoidable accidents?

  12. Not all Non-subscribers are pirates on Pirate TV Services Are Taking a Bite Out of Cable Company Revenue (arstechnica.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Not everyone who doesn't pay for your service is a pirate. There are always other options. Rent DVDs from RedBox, borrow DVD's from the library, go to a friend's house to watch Game of Thrones, etc.

  13. Re:Space to save building material on 'Discovery of the Century': Mysterious Void Discovered In Egypt's Great Pyramid (nationalgeographic.com) · · Score: 1

    They still had enough to build 2 more pyramids.

  14. Re:This 17 years old printer... on The International Space Station Is Getting Its First Printer Upgrade in 17 Years (mashable.com) · · Score: 1

    I was thinking that an inkjet was also out of the question. Liquid ink could seep out and clog controls or cause other hazards. The only orbit-safe printer I could imagine is a thermal one, but the paper must be expensive!

  15. OK. You bring the ice.

  16. Re:Perl Is Hated Because It's Difficult on Perl is the Most Hated Programming Language, Developers Say (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Context is important here. Not in the language, but in the article. PERL is the most hated on Stack Overflow. Stack Overflow is a website where experienced devs can help out newbies with their coding questions. The experienced devs may dislike *SUPPORTING* PERL, or reading it, or figuring out complicated problems that may be related to its packages or interpreter version. Writing in Perl is so easy, it practically codes itself.

  17. Re:Minerals? on We May Not Have Enough Minerals To Even Meet Electric Car Demand (jalopnik.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    After watching four seasons of "Silicon Valley", I put very little faith in anyone named Ehrlich.

  18. Re:This one isn't that hard on Vendor Tracks LinkedIn Profile Changes To Alert Client Employers (techtarget.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder if hiring managers at Microsoft require you to have a Linked-In account.

  19. Re:Um...so you believe the future is bleak? on The Future of Work Might Not Be So Bleak (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 0

    The future of work IN TRUCKING is bleak. I don't know why anyone here cares about that. This isn't TruckDot.

  20. Group Policy makes Microsoft Presenter Install Chrome.

  21. Re:Really on 'Daylight Savings' Is Grammatically Incorrect (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it should be called "Daylight Shifting Time". That does away with the "s" problem, and fixes your issue as well.

  22. I once saw an error from a program that was written in German. The error said that the RAM was exhausted. I think it simply meant "Out of Memory".

  23. And still, she is better than many organic performers.

  24. Easter Egg on Everything New In the Android 8.1 Oreo Developer Preview (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    What we really need is a feature to make my Pixel XL *TASTE* like an actual cookie.

  25. Did your app have buttons that fade out when you press them? No? Go back and do it again.
