  1. IMMA CHARGIN MAH LAZER on West African Village Weighs Using Genetically Modified Mosquitoes In Malaria Fight (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Still waiting for these beauties to start being mass produced, looks like they're making progress.

  2. And when it does load, I can hardly read what's on the page, aside from the blue "Please Explain." The text that says "write here" is barely visible, too small and way too light. Light gray on white is not exactly conducive to a good UI.

    Yeah, definitely the most non-reported story of 2017.

    Great, they have some wildcard garbage going on instead of properly returning NXDOMAIN.

    For fuck's sake, he didn't say he didn't have the authority, or that he couldn't legally grant clemency. He just said he can't do it.

    I like cats. I can't shoot a stray cat, no matter how annoying it gets. I have guns, and cats aren't a protected species, so I have both the legal and physical capacity to shoot a cat. But I just can't do it. Do you dig?

    But at least his first reaction wasn't "Can't we just drone this guy?"

    People are constantly justifying the inane things Trump says by claiming he was joking, or not being serious, or that he was misinterpreted. Just today, the chairman of the House Intelligence committee said "I think a lot of the things he says, I think you guys sometimes take literally." Maybe you could give Hillary the same artistic license and consider that perhaps she was joking or misinterpreted? Oh, who am I kidding. She's a Democrat, you'll give her no quarter.

  12. Re:Edge is a disgrace on Microsoft Browser Usage Drops 50% As Chrome Soars (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    It's weird how it varies from one system to another. What you describe is how Chrome behaves on my machine, and Firefox doesn't do this at all.

    Firefox will start up two processes, one using around 100MB and one using around 200MB, but it won't grow too much from there. Half a gig (one process at 200MB, one at 300MB) is about where it caps out even after I've been browsing for a few hours and visited hundreds of tabs. I don't keep those tabs open, my workflow sees me with maybe half a dozen tabs open at any time. Earlier today I had a tab open watching the Nascar race, which was streaming HD video for 4 straight hours, that was contained to a "FlashPlayerPlugin.exe" process that used around 100MB itself. So after 5 or 6 hours of browsing plus streaming HD video, Firefox (plus its Flash thread) still weighed less than 1GB.

    Chrome on the other hand will start up 8 different processes using around 60MB each, so it's at half a gig out of the gate, without even viewing a web page. After an hour of routine browsing, it's sucking up several gigs of RAM and I have to restart it. If I try watching video in Chrome, it'll go through the roof (8 GB isn't unheard of), and worse, that RAM doesn't get freed when I close the video. It feels like Chrome has a bad memory leak somewhere; once it allocates some RAM, it's not giving it back until you kill the process.

  13. Re:How about fixing a broken browser? on Mozilla Acquires Pocket and Its More Than 10 Million Users (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    I don't know how many tabs that was, but try the 52 beta with multiprocess mode turned on. Also, while it seems counterintuitive, you probably want the 32-bit version of Firefox even on a 64-bit OS. The 64-bit version does very little aside from using more RAM.

    Uber is a taxi company, it made a name and got support by creating jobs and employing people

    Don't try telling them that. According to Uber, they're creating "ride sharing opportunities" and they're "independently contracting" people.

  16. Re:Does this mean ... on Bipartisan Bill Seeks Warrants For Police Use of 'Stingray' Cell Trackers (usatoday.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They already "need" a warrant to use the results in court, which is why the Justice Department has dropped multiple cases involving stingrays rather than see them go to trial. They're fully aware that the first judge who gets one of these cases will throw it out and set precedent that the stingrays can't be used.

    ///// /. formatting sucks balls. Why should I have to do a break line when a CRLF would do?

    Change your prefs so your default posting setting is "Plain Old Text" instead of "HTML Formatted." The prefs interface itself does suck balls, your changes may or may not save.

    So what Trump claims about the big media not reporting about important events is true.

    He didn't claim the media doesn't report "important events," he claimed they don't report terrorist attacks, which is patently untrue. This story has nothing to do with terrorism and does not, in any way whatsoever, corroborate Trump's bullshit.

    Simple solution, do NOT place classified info on phones or computers that are traveling out of the country and coming back in. Or ship them freight instead.

    No, that's a pain in the ass solution. The simple solution would be for the government to not conduct illegal searches, and not harass its citizens.

    15 years ago I probably would have been cheering this, but nowadays, a million emails is a drop in the ocean. Prison time for sending a million spam emails is fucking stupid, especially the potential of decades in prison.
