  1. Re:Non compete I signed.. on Too Many Workers Are Trapped By Non-Competes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Never again! And since they never ACTUALLY hired me or even paid me a dime, I'm going to consider it null and void.

  2. Non compete I signed.. on Too Many Workers Are Trapped By Non-Competes (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I was offered a job, and made to sign a non-compete. They then didn't actually hire me. Since I was never ACTUALLY hired (2+ years later they are claiming they are still waiting on funding), that invalidates it, doesn't it?

  3. Wasn't MX Player doing this 5-6+ years ago already...?

  4. Page of revenge.. on Japan's Final Pager Provider To End Its Service In 2019 (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I miss the days when you could set your modem to dial every phone number in a paging prefix, and punch in a single persons' phone number. You could tell how well it was working by calling them up a few hours later and asking, "Hey did somebody page from this number?"

  5. Blocking friend requests on Facebook To Let French Regulators Investigate On Moderation Processes (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    While they're at it, maybe they can look into why Facebook saw fit to remove my girlfriend from my friends' list, and is now preventing us from adding each other back...?

    They've done this before to us, and it took increasing amounts of time before we were allowed to re-add each other. It's now been over 6 months this time, and still nothing. Shouldn't it be up to US who we accept friend requests from??

  6. Can we trust this statistic...? on 1 In 4 Statisticians Say They Were Asked To Commit Scientific Fraud (acsh.org) · · Score: 1

    Can we truly trust this statistic...? I mean look who came up with it.

  7. Re:Please just make GM weed that doesn't stink! on Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer To Medicinal Use (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    Where are these special pot bars..? Indoor smoking laws in Washington prevent them.

  8. Re:It probably won't work "medicinally" on Psychedelic Mushrooms Are Closer To Medicinal Use (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Castaneda's "works" are fictional.

  9. Can't we just rename it "Mylk"? on Should the Word 'Milk' Be Used To Describe Nondairy Milk-Alternative Products? (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Can't we just call it "Mylk"?

    The same government that's concerned with "government overreach" when it comes to net neutrality, is all of a sudden considered about the use of the term milk, that's been in common use for over 20 years?

    They're going to have to rewrite the dictionary while they're at it:

    "a : a fluid secreted by the mammary glands of females for the nourishment of their young b (1) : milk from an animal and especially a cow used as food by people (2) : a food product produced from seeds or fruit that resembles and is used similarly to cow's milk coconut milk soy milk"

  10. Court ordered... on Could Electrically Stimulating Criminals' Brains Prevent Crime? (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    How long until this becomes something that is court ordered..?

  11. Burden of proof rests with the defendant? So they're supposed to testify against themselves? Glad he's not a lawyer!

  12. My Chrome still works... it seems to run even better. Guess I lucked out..?

  13. and how is Edge browser running..? on Google Chrome is Freezing Intermittently With the Windows 10 April 2018 Update, Users Say (neowin.net) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Let me guess... the Edge browser is running faster than ever..?

    It ain't done 'til Lotus won't run...

  14. Fox..? The network that said see network neutrality repeal passed and nothing happened..?

    Completely ignoring the fact that the rules haven't taken effect yet since they need to be entered into the federal register first..?

  15. Re:53 bits - why? on Physicists Made An Unprecedented 53 Qubit Quantum Simulator (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    According to this, 53 qubits can simulate 1 gram of DNA: https://www.quora.com/Quantum-...

  16. Not surprising.. on Study Finds Yoga Works As Well As Physical Therapy For Back Pain (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Not surprising, they use yoga exercises IN physical therapy. It's the same mechanics involved.

  17. Dries post is still up:

  18. So they want access to falsify evidence.. on US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    So they want access to falsify evidence.. By being able to post fake posts or send fake messages under their name..?

    I see no room for abuse there!

  19. Re:Predictive app launchers on Google Will Reportedly Remove Google Now Launcher From Play Store (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Does Nova Launcher do predictive app launching based on time or context..?

  20. Predictive app launchers on Google Will Reportedly Remove Google Now Launcher From Play Store (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 1

    Since the EverythingMe launcher shut down, they recommended people use the Google Now launcher for predictive app launching. Can anyone recommend a replacement before the Google Now launcher vanishes..?

  21. Multicore for spreadsheets..? on LibreOffice 5.3 Released, Touted As 'One of the Most Feature-Rich Releases' Ever (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    One disadvantage Calc has had compared to Excel, is it didn't support multicore when processing large spreadsheets. Has this been addressed yet..?

  22. Planting evidence... on Why You Shouldn't Trust Geek Squad (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    What's to say that the Geek Squad isn't planting evidence..?? Seems like it would be worth it for them to do so; since it could net them an easy $500 per report..? I would never take a computer there, and I would never buy a computer from Best Buy ever again.

  23. Drug dealers will take food benefits, for $0.50 on the $1.00. Of course, most people would rather eat.
