    They are behind it for decades.

  2. "The researchers found the microbiomes of those who had taken the probiotics had suffered a "very severe disturbance."

    A pound and a half of Sauerkraut can do that for you.

  3. "Ignore the 19 year old muslim male with no job and lots of passport stamps from Syria and Yemen. "

    Report it lost.
    Get a new passport without stamps.
    Profit.

    But jokes aside, nobody registers those idiotic 18th century things called 'stamps'.

  4. "Only Mr. Trump is not currently under arrest for any crime."

    People under arrest are usually not subject of a search. Everybody knows where they are.
    Coincidentally this is also the case here, so also no searching necessary.

  5. "now male uber drivers can threaten females with low stars if they won't kiss em."

    It might also get them killed to avoid a bad review.

  6. Every school needs customer service.

  7. ...if they know why and how it happens.

  8. Finally! on Chrome Browser Turns 10 (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  9. Not only compact ones on This is the Story of the 1970s Great Calculator Race (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    When I began on my job in 1973, I had a mechanical calculator that needed over 20 seconds to calculate 22.000.000.000/7.

    We had a maintenance contract for it, because it needed service at least once a year.
    That contract was more expensive than buying a dozen new electronic ones for everybody in the room but we had to wait 5 years until finally somebody in management grew some brains.

    We bought our own long before that.

    Donate a license to use this tech to BMW users.

  14. Indeed on Physicists Measure Gravity With Record Precision (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    They dropped a Golden Delicious, because the old variant Newton used is difficult to find.

  15. I just love it on Google's $50 Titan Security Keys Are Now Available in the US (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Before, if they didn't get to me by phishing they were bust.
    Now they have to come to my home and hit me over the head with a wrench and take my titan-dongle.

  16. We can't have cars on the road that respect traffic laws or the world comes to an end.

  17. Film at 11

  18. Re:LPT: If you're enrolled in grad school part-tim on Is Your Email Address Holding You Back? (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    "use your university address."

    Dammit, you mean I didn't get the job because I used my old Big_Dick6521@hotmail.com address?

  19. Bummer, because corners are the only thing that cars are turning around. The rest of the time they are going straight ahead.

  20. The future is coming on Silicon Valley Takes a (Careful) Step Toward Autonomous Flying (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    So firetrucks will also be hit from above instead from behind?

    He said already No many years ago.

  22. Nice on Smart Tags Add Touch Controls To Ordinary Objects (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    So the facility management company won't have to send a guy with a scanner every quarter to scan every tag of every computer, keyboard, screen, chairs and all the rest of the equipment in all the 2000 offices anymore?

  23. Only for stupid customers“

  24. "Outside of the Russian trolls, virtually no real Twitter users actually responded to the messages"
