  1. This is the fruit of research into Dragonfly for Google?

  2. Why Texas? on A Tiny Screw Shows Why iPhones Won't Be 'Assembled in USA' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    The corporate environment is very friendly in Texas but the manufacturing environment is lacking, as compared with Michigan. Now Michigan has lost a lot of manufacturing to China but I can only imagine there's still more in MI than TX.

  3. I had wondered why Trump didn't pursue Hillary further but he's going to let the Progressives create the framework.

  4. Socialism Fails in Ontario on Canada's Ontario Government Ends Basic Income Project (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    That should have been the title.

  5. Who'da thunk that in that beautiful valley was toxicity.

  6. Asphyxiating Ride on Top on India Just Might Be Getting a Hyperloop (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    Might cut down on the number of people riding atop the rail cars in India.

  7. Until a Red Team is created to actual debate the "issue," neither side is going to yield.

  8. Re:Good short term, bad long term on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    It's a good filler until self-driving cars are approved.

  9. Thanks a Lot Canada! on The US May Finally See Widespread 'Super Wi-Fi' Deployment (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 1

    The Canadian Radio-television and Telecommunications Commission (CRTC) initially decided not to enforce a single date for ending analog broadcasts, opting to let market forces decide when the switchover will occur.[8] It subsequently reversed its position, on May 17, 2007,[9] setting an analogue shutoff date of August 31, 2011,[10] just over two years after the American transition date of June 12, 2009. Mandatory markets with a transmitter that does not transition to digital by the deadline will lose the over-the-air signal for the corresponding station permanently or until a digital transmitter is brought on-the-air for that station in that area. Note that the transition deadline only concerns over-the-air signals and does not impact other televisions reception methods in Canada such as over the Internet (already digital), cable (some analog, most digital), or satellite (already digital). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  10. Re:Um, what? on Students Can Now Fly Drones At School, FAA Says (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    The Donald needs to fix the FAA on this as soon as he gets in. We need a list.

  11. Prop Them Up Like Tesla on Apple Has First Earnings Decline In More Than A Decade (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's prop them up like Tesla, with the indirect and direct government help (and like GM).

  12. Good to be Able to Exercise Their Conscience on Porn Giant xHamster Blocks North Carolina Users Who Support Anti-LGBT Law (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be nice if everyone was allowed to exercise their conscience, without being bullied.

  13. How is it the US says it can't but a boat anchor can take down most of the Middle East? (http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/story?id=4267160)

  14. Re:Hardly a new concept on Tim Cook: What's Good For the US Dollar Is Bad For Apple · · Score: 1

    And the Greeks and Italians figured out the euro as well...

  15. The Power of Control on Apple Bans iFixit Repair App From App Store After Apple TV Teardown · · Score: 1

    Does violating Apple, in any way, automatically get you booted from the AppStore? It's good that Apple is displaying this now, before they get too powerful for people to realize their true nature.

  16. Open Source as a Punishment on VW Fiasco Puts Ethics In Engineering Under the Spotlight, CEO Steps Down · · Score: 2

    Force VW to open source their current and future code. This would benefit the country way better than any monetary fine.

  17. Hate to Say It... on Glen Greenwald: Don't Trust Anonymous Anti-Snowden Claims · · Score: 1

    ...But I trust the US Government more than I do either the Chinese, the Russians, or Snowden; Not that I trust the US Government that much to begin with, which is why we have the Constitution.

  18. Tom Clancy Novel on Hacked Emails Reveal Russian Plans To Obtain Sensitive Western Tech · · Score: 1

    I thought the Jack Ryan series was fictional!

  19. Re:Stupid ... on US Proposes Tighter Export Rules For Computer Security Tools · · Score: 1

    Department of Commerce would be bureaucracy, not really Congress (lawmakers). Though in this age and with this administration, maybe you're right!

  20. Steve Job's Kids on Ask Slashdot: Terminally Ill - What Wisdom Should I Pass On To My Geek Daughter? · · Score: 1

    Too bad we can't get Steve Job's kids to post what they want to ask of their dad at this point in their lives. The worst part about someone dying is that the dead are never just a phonecall/text/email away (but those questions are about growing up and using you as a crutch). If you already have this much care for your daughter, she's going to turn out just right with what she's already learned from you. Better tell her to stay foolish.

  21. Shen Yang is in China on US Seeks China's Help Against North Korean Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    The attack was orchestrated from China and China is North Korea's benefactor; the attack is from China.

  22. Yeah, Java in a Real Browser in OSX on Chrome For Mac Drops 32-bit Build · · Score: 1

    Much as no one really likes Java exists, more the ideal of what it should be.

  23. Capacitors on Reformatting a Machine 125 Million Miles Away · · Score: 1

    I'm sure they didn't get any of their capacitors from that bad batch a few years past.

  24. This Guy has to be a True A** on Man Booted From Southwest Flight and Threatened With Arrest After Critical Tweet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Every time I fly Southwest, their people are energetic and happy. They are probably the best in the business, probably a class unto themselves. This guy however, with what information has been let out, had to be extreme. I'd "luv" to hear what other passengers thought of his behavior!
