    Hi Chris, I lost my keyboard. Is it behind your desk? Let me look. Yes! It is! Thank you! Yeah, sometimes they fall if someone bumps into them with their elbow or something. Next caller.

    These games are for college students. We all played something like them in college. I don't remember learning much but how to waste time and money on alcohol from them.

    I tried google home AI once. It sounded possessed.

    I missed that beta testing period. I just tell Alexa to play music. She plays it too loud and the police get called. Oh well.

  8. Re:Just apply the VW cheat code... on China Forms New Body To Review Ethics Risks of Video Games (scmp.com) · · Score: 1

    Games that were deemed ethical even with extreme violence included a little-used DirectX title and a little-known GNU-based game. Both were RTS games. I just made that up. Sounded right.

    What are the odds of finding this? No bigger than 1/infinity

  10. It is an odd reef, but seriously, there is a much stranger reef further down the coast. It formed in such a way, when the tide is low, the wind whistles through various formations and almost seems like a voice. Species are great and all, but what can you say to us about the other reef?

    Wait, did you just accuse trumputin of being a bungling idiot? Avast!

  13. The snowball earth hypothesis was independently formed by scientists at Kings College some time ago. It would be interesting to compare those sources with theirs.

  14. Re:Chat and Meet? on Google Just Can't Get the Message (phandroid.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    A huge problem google has is that they tend to release product quickly and then assume that any positive feedback is not random noise. I would bet that google has gone years believing it was collecting feedback on things when in fact it never was. And they also assume some kind of lock-in. Example: if you happen to use one google product at one time, they automatically assume that you have suddenly become a complete google customer. And they try to put your credit card on file, etc. It's the one company that doesn't respond to polite requests. And you have to practically serve them a cease and desist just to get them to stop send you ads or something. It is kind of silly, really and a huge waste.

  15. Re:News titles are so pointed and dumb nowadays... on Google Just Can't Get the Message (phandroid.com) · · Score: 1

    It is funny how companies always make things worse as they go with their dumb decisions.

  16. Normal people don't buy products and then pay again for no reason at all, so who cares what the web page says.

  17. OK, serious question. Does "You suck?" count as hate speech or does it have to be some particular things that one "sucks" at that might make it hate speech?

  19. Testing an OS on users is asking for a hung PC, but hey, bully for you if you try it.

    It isn't. If you are talking about someone who pays for a specific service getting access at speed to the content they already paid to access, then yes it is a good thing. If you are saying that content providers have some special right to ISP servers and all should get special access beyond having their content routed to specific customer requests then I would not agree that NN is a good thing.

    It's getting worse I hear. Soon they will actually be required to quote Emily Dickinson to customers. And it won't be in that cute bohemian way of slipping some quote into conversation. It's gonna be like "Guess what I read in my Emily Dickinson compendium last night?" kind of way.

  22. Yeah that is a problem isnt it? Well, how about trying to repeat what the apple store guy says back to him/her and ask if you've said it correctly? I wonder if you could trick him/her into using one of those words!
