  1. No it doesn't on Steve Case On How To Get Funded Outside Tech Corridors (hpe.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Money follows Theranos and Juicero.

  2. Re:Little-known fact on Building an NES Emulator · · Score: 1

    Yes. VS system came out after the Famicom/NES had been out for a while, and the games were all conversions of existing Famicom games.

  3. Re:Little-known fact on Building an NES Emulator · · Score: 3, Funny

    I logged on to say just this. OP can shut up.

  4. Re: Take this with a grain of salt on The Far Future of Our Solar System · · Score: 2

    That link doesn't say any of the things you think it says. It's talking about stars in their relative orbits to each other. No party of your quote mentions the contents of the solar system.

  5. Re:HIPAA Privacy Rules on Building an IT Infrastructure Today vs. 10 Years Ago · · Score: 2

    If only there were some way to look this up:

    • http://aws.amazon.com/compliance/#hipaa
    • https://support.google.com/a/answer/3407054?hl=en
  6. Re:Muslims on NSA Intercepted French Telephone Calls "On a Massive Scale" · · Score: 5, Funny

    America is 75% christian, and given how feral and out-of-countrol some of the groups are, I'd say they're fair game.

    Apparently the NSA agreed with you.

  7. Android has a few good scripting languages on Time For a Hobbyist Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    And you can program them on the phone. Not as easy to build that into apps, though: https://code.google.com/p/android-scripting/

  8. And I'm sure at the time they didn't realize that there would be a global patent war, either.

  9. The moral of the story is to never license your patents as FRAND. Or, you know, fix the patent system.

  10. OLPC, now a generic Android tablet brand. Who didn't see this coming?

  11. SomethingAwful on AI Is Funny - a Generative Joke Model · · Score: 1
  12. Re:Is there anything useful on the non-Western 'Ne on Snowden and the Fate of the Internet As a Global Network · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Good god, how did this get modded up? The way to deal with a globalization and the myriad cultures on this planet is to stick you fingers in your ears and avoid anything that doesn't interest you directly? How many expats, or 3rd or even 4th generation folks do want access to that? How many "academics," which apaprently to you means "anyone with an interest in a culture I don't care about?" Probably more than you think.

  13. Toe lies are less convincing than one lie! on Fake "Speed Enforced By Drones" Signs On California Freeways · · Score: 1

    "Along with not having drones we definitely do not have any drones that would fire any type of weaponry."

  14. Re:How about cutting Notes? on Goodbye, Lotus 1-2-3 · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd take Outlook in a second over Notes.

    I'd take PINE over either. And I don't even like PINE.

  15. Re:How do they taste? on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 2

    Grasshoppers do not taste even slightly like shrimp, sorry.

  16. Just like eating an elephant on How Netflix Eats the Internet · · Score: 5, Funny

    One byte at a time?

  17. Re:WTF - Weird and confusing on Open Sauce Foundation Created · · Score: 1

    It's ROT13 so there's any number of websites that will instantly "decrypt" it for you, but really, it's a gag article that's not worth the effort.

  18. Re:This news truly matters. on Blizzard Announces Hearthstone: Heroes of Warcraft Digital Card Game · · Score: 1

    It IS, in fact, news for nerds. You will notice it is posted in the "games" category, which you are welcome to ignore if it takes up too much of your important time.

  19. Re:Waste on Boeing Touts Fighter Jet To Rival F-35 — At Half the Price · · Score: 1

    Which is all well and good until you face another power with modern manned airplanes which have instant response time. I'm not supporting these projects, but comparing a manned fighter to a drone is pretty apples to oranges. Drones tend to occupy fairly different roles like observation and hitting motionless or slow ground targets and children.

  20. Re:ROI on Boeing Touts Fighter Jet To Rival F-35 — At Half the Price · · Score: 1

    Given the extremely slow comparative airspeed and the 2-second lag on controls, I'm guessing the Reapers would fare poorly.

  21. Re:Wrong Talk on Controversy Over Violet Blue's Harm Reduction Talk · · Score: 1

    Ah, the article was poorly written. My mistake.

  22. Re:Wrong Talk on Controversy Over Violet Blue's Harm Reduction Talk · · Score: 1

    It is a talk about hackers as a high risk population. That is the subject matter. The title does not change that fact.

  23. Re:Truly sad on Federal Court OKs Amazon's System of Suggesting Alternative Products · · Score: 2

    Right, so like going to a store and asking for a product that they don't have and being directed to similar products. As mentioned in the case and equally insane.

  24. Re:I want that! on Human Rights Watch: Petition Against Robots On the Battle Field · · Score: 0

    His machines weren't "robots" any more than Predator drones are: they were remote controlled by radio.

  25. Re:A bit hard to enforce.... on Planetary Resources To 'Claim' Asteroids With Beacons · · Score: 1

    Yes, but the gun will get pretty hot with nowhere to radiate all that heat.
