  1. Re:Who thought it was ever a good idea on Tinder Bans Most Teens (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The audience of gawker and tinder are probably the same so as long as the person was over the age of 4 that is perfectly acceptable.

  2. Re:Custom Waze Faker on Weary Homeowners Wage War On Waze · · Score: 1

    On iOS it is rather hard, you have to jailbreak the phone. For Android it is really easy, under the developer options there is a mock option. You select that and then there are free apps that will allow you to change the location.

  3. Sad thing. on Google's Self-Driving Cars Now Know When To Honk (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    The sad thing is they also said it will take them 3-5 years to figure out how to implement the turn signals.

  4. Re:What's so special about Uber? on Uber Raises $3.5 Billion From Saudi Arabia (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    benefits are: The app showing you location of nearby cars and where they are in relationship to you, cheaper prices and no need to tip, the hipster nature of it.

  5. Re:who decides what is "hate speech"??? on Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube and Others Agree To Remove Hate Speech Across the EU · · Score: 1

    Why would I care if I could not criticize that government? It was not mine and even then I could not vote.

  6. Re:who decides what is "hate speech"??? on Microsoft, Facebook, YouTube and Others Agree To Remove Hate Speech Across the EU · · Score: 1

    The various governments already do that and already have laws in place. It is just that these tech companies are now going to start enforcing local laws.
    One example as a guest worker in a European country, I was not allowed to criticize the government and I had to sign a form agreeing to that when I had to do the various paperwork.

  7. Re:Equal capping of all traffic sources on AT&T Begins Capping Broadband Users (dslreports.com) · · Score: 2

    Somewhat correct on this. The placing of the cap is not against net neutrality law but the use of zero rating certain services is not inevitable.
    Also it will be up to the FCC to decide if it is allowed, such as they are doing now by asking for public comments.

  8. Best comment so far.. on Google Assistant and Google Home: Amazon Echo, But From Google (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Got home and did my standard "Alexa news" (Amazon's Echo command to give you the latest news) to heard what the news was. When it got to the tech info the headline was "Google shows its desperation to get into new markets with its new home assistant."

  9. My retirement plan is coming closer. on Transparent Displays Are Here, But They're Pretty Useless · · Score: 2

    My final job plan is to setup an office were the employees are facing each other and the only input devices on each computer are voice controlled and a vertical transparent touch display.
    After I take of picture of the office of the future I will retire and go down in history.

  10. Some company is using this to collect information about your computer and network and then attempt to sell you something based on the information they collect.

  11. Nope 2015. And the major problem were games and my place was being remodeled and I lost satellite so I switched to a VPN and watching TV from USA amazon, netfix and hulu.

  12. Re:What CNN didn't say on Developer Of Anonymous Tor Software Dodges FBI, Leaves US (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Read that article you put the link for.
    What the FBI said was "âoeBut⦠if we happen to run into her on the street, weâ(TM)re gonna be asking her some questions without you present.â
    She was not under arrest or suspicion and the FBI did not have any reason to detain her. They could ask her any questions they wanted and could also ask her to get in a car and come with them but had no legal ability to force her to do that.
    Let me guess now people are going to say the FBI would of kidnapped her and forced her in the car.

  13. Re:How is she legally living in Germany? on Developer Of Anonymous Tor Software Dodges FBI, Leaves US (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Say she is Syrian and claim asylum.
    Or just not leave, like in the USA the government still has to catch you before they can kick you out.

  14. Re:Somethings not right here on Developer Of Anonymous Tor Software Dodges FBI, Leaves US (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a big difference from knowing that some people in the government make mistakes, break the rules (and get caught) to being paranoid that they are actually coming after you with plans to take your bodily fluids like she does.

  15. Couldn't be Europe where I had a 100Gig cap and then price charged increased by 3 times and I got charged for any the monthly overage in 1Gig chunks. They were better than some of the companies in the USA because I would get a warning at 90Gig telling me that pirating is bad and if I did not pirate material I would not be downloading that much material.

  16. Re:Details about Tracker? on Where Does America's E-Waste End Up? GPS Tracker Tells All (pbs.org) · · Score: 1

    I would guess they used a wildlife tracking system with GPS and satellite phone transmission. for example https://www.atstrack.com/track...
    They can last for up to two years depending on temperature and conditions

    Do you know what a fascist is?
    Depends on who is asking. Under current liberals you are a fascist if you love your country and are against the principals of state run communism.

    The dinner had to be canceled everyone who was suppose to attend died of dysentery.

  19. Re:Imagine the LOLs.... on Google's AI Is Devouring Romance Novels (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    If stuck having to do a conversation between the two I think I would take the nazi teenage girl.
    However the fan fiction that would come from a combination would be interesting.

  20. Re:What about GE? on Cupertino's Mayor: Apple 'Abuses Us' By Not Paying Taxes (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Not this stupidity from Elizabeth warren again, a lady so stupid so cannot understand the basic of the time value of money after it has been explained to her multiple time.
    This has been disproven by the actual records so many time that people still mindlessly repeating the ignorance of warren is just plain sad.

  21. Re:pot, kettle on Elon Musk: 'We Need a Revolt Against the Fossil Fuel Industry' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    The other problem if you look at the subsidies that oil companies get they are the same that any other company get. Tax deductions for research, forgien tax credits and standard costs of business that any mom and pop business also gets as a subsidy.

  22. Did have one question on this. on Dyson Launches New 'Supersonic' Hair Dryer To Revolutionize Hair Care (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    When testing hair dryers why do you use miles of hair vs pounds of hair?

  23. Re:It's all relative on A Majority Of Millennials Now Reject Capitalism, Poll Shows (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    For the college the people who have the most debt are those that are getting degrees which pay huge amounts. Why do I car the level of debt for those going into careers that average 100,000+ aka the majority of the original occupy people?
    For the rest if you want a cheap education then do it like the everage european college and go to your local community college and live at home or something similar. If you go to one of these big fancy colleges, live in private dorm and have all your food catered then expect to pay for it.

    Huh?
    Have you actually read or listen to her? She thinks banks should lend money for 10-20 years at the same very,very,very low rate of interest they do for emergency loans they make to trusted agents that last for under 10 hours.
    And that one is not is close to some of the stupider stuff she believes.
