  1. EDITOR: Read this on Google Offers a Million Bucks For a Better Inverter · · Score: 0

    It's "Islanded-mode", not "islanded-more".

  2. Re:The hubbub is misplaced on Netflix Reduces Physical-Disc Processing, Keeps Prices the Same · · Score: 1

    I see the problem. DVDs aren't supposed to be squeezed through your VPN. You should check you mailbox for them.

  3. Re:Typical stupid Netflix Executives.... on Netflix Reduces Physical-Disc Processing, Keeps Prices the Same · · Score: 1

    I believe there is an opening in a PR department somewhere for you.

  4. Re:I doubt most people care on Netflix Reduces Physical-Disc Processing, Keeps Prices the Same · · Score: 1

    Well, then send that mailer in! I have had 3 discs at the top of my queue labelled as "Very long wait" for TWO YEARS because of people like you and people you know.

  5. Re:nobody ever won a war with their customers on Comcast Customer Service Rep Just Won't Take No For an Answer · · Score: 1

    Right. When comcast starts to get money from Netflix and maybe hulu, then what is the incentive for them to treat the consumers with respect?

  6. Re:We're sorry he so faithfully followed instructi on Comcast Customer Service Rep Just Won't Take No For an Answer · · Score: 1

    I doubt that. Suppose after 7 minutes, the customer agrees to keep the service? Then you already have a pending deactivation in the queue, and the service would be cut, possibly BEFORE the customer hangs up. If the customer finds out that his service has indeed been cut even after agreeing to keep it, that would just give him more reason to cancel the service.

  7. Re:So... on Comcast Customer Service Rep Just Won't Take No For an Answer · · Score: 1

    Or... You could just say two words: "Too Expensive". Comcast asked me why I cancelled my service 2+ years ago, and that's the answer I gave them. Apparently, they believed me, and I was a comcast customer for longer than 9 years before I cancelled.

    Now here is the interesting part: Ryan Block is an internet celebrity, and his wife is Veronica Belmont, also an internet celebrity. I would not be surprised if Comcast had a note of this in his file, and that is why the rep was so adamant about getting a good reason from him. It's almost like Aquaman calling the local water works company and telling them that he doesn't want water anymore. They wouldn't believe him.

  8. Re:Porn? on Coming Soon(ish) From LG: Transparent, Rollup Display · · Score: 2

    You can roll it up into a cylinder and then... Well, you get the idea.

    Valeris: "I do not remember."

    Spock: "A lie?"

    Valeris: "A choice."

  10. Really? on Avast Buys 20 Used Phones, Recovers 40,000 Deleted Photos · · Score: 1

    Who fills out a loan application on a phone? That has got to be the most painful web experience ever!

  11. Re:So, how long before the suicides? on Foxconn Replacing Workers With Robots · · Score: 1

    If the robots are controlled by iPhones, then they will probably just not wake up after new years eve, or daylight saving time.

  12. Re:Why is it cheaper in China? on Foxconn Replacing Workers With Robots · · Score: 1

    Chinese robots are cheaper.

  13. Re:Superman logo is a Trademark on DC Entertainment Won't Allow Superman Logo On Murdered Child's Memorial Statue · · Score: -1

    Honestly, and a lot of people are not going to like this, I don't believe that this child's marker deserves the Superman logo. Why not put the logo on the marker of Christopher Reeve or George Reeves. They are the only people who would have actually earned it. The death of this child is tragic, but other than being a superman fan, what was his connection?

  14. Re:Actually makes good sense on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    What do you do with electronic cigarettes? If you can't power it up, it gets taken from you. If you can (and do), it gets confiscated because there is no smoking in the terminal.

  15. Magazine on NSA Considers Linux Journal Readers, Tor (And Linux?) Users "Extremists" · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That sounds like a good name for a magazine: "Linux Extremist"

  16. Re:Monitoring on Employees Staying Away From Internal Corporate Social Networks · · Score: 1

    More likely is that the internal social network will be a place where employees bitch about work problems thinking that someone in power actually READS those messages and cares. It will turn into a suggestion box that nobody every opens.

  17. Re:Funny on 30% of Americans Aren't Ready For the Next Generation of Technology · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's getting harder and harder to even RESPECT the internet....

  18. Re:Email is expensive? on Krebs on Microsoft Suspending "Patch Tuesday" Emails and Blaming Canada · · Score: 1

    You still need to get the recipient list and the body of the emails to the smtp nodes. If you're going to do that, hell, just send the email yourself.

  19. Re:Email is expensive? on Krebs on Microsoft Suspending "Patch Tuesday" Emails and Blaming Canada · · Score: 0

    Email requires bandwidth, and you can't distribute it through a CDN like you can with downloads. It's cheap for spammers because they anonymize their email, but security notifications say they come from microsoft.com. Now consider that you have BILLIONS of emails to send. That can get costly.

  20. Re:Your taxes at work on A Physicist Says He Can Tornado-Proof the Midwest With 1,000-Foot Walls · · Score: 1

    I think it's a good idea to build a wall to prevent tornadoes, and I think the insurance companies should fund it. It only makes sense, since they have the most to gain from it.

    Plus, this should revoke his philanthropist status.

    Oooh! "The Washington APPLE Pi's" sounds GREAT!

  23. Re:A slight tweak and... on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 1

    That's better than my idea to call them "The Washington no-skins". It would probably offend the zombies... Uh, I mean Undead Americans.

  24. Re:Chicago Blackhawks too? on Washington Redskins Stripped of Trademarks · · Score: 1

    As a resident of Minnesota, the Twins are called that because of the "Twin Cities" (Minneapolis and St. Paul), which is odd, because each of those cities is very unique. Maybe it's because they are close together on the map.

    Now, if the baseball team was called "The Minnesota Conjoined Twins", then there might be some outcry.

  25. Re:No offsite backups? on Code Spaces Hosting Shutting Down After Attacker Deletes All Data · · Score: 1

    So now it's a double tragedy? Codespace doesn't have offsite backups AND Amazon doesn't have offsite backups? Shame on BOTH of them!
