  1. How deep the net has fallen on The Internal Report Proving the FCC Made Up a Cyberattack (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Years ago, sites were Slashdotted, nowadays they get Olivered and Colberted.

  2. "And most of those who do only try it once or stick to a limited range of products."

    I use it to buy stuff I already know, repeatedly.

    Perhaps blind people use it extensively but most of us like to see at least a crappy photograph of the product.

    But you can buy detergent from the couch instead of walking to the washing machine and press the dash button.

    I can buy stuff at Amazon with Alexa, dash buttons, cellphones, tablets and computers, where else is that possible.

  3. I did.
    I'm a Bigfoot porn aficionado and I wanted to see new sites but this extensions only shows me Sasquatch and Yeti porn, which is completely different.
    After all I'm no perv.

  4. I gladly accept stock options, company car, company jet, real estate, rare metals, free vacations, use of yachts, hookers and other perks just like our bosses.

  12. Would never use a HP on HP Will Give You $10,000 To Hack Your Printer (zdnet.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I remember fondly a long time ago, when one employee brought his private first HP color printer to his office and installed it on his machine.

    The install process replaced the print queue and it began immediately checking the company network for all printers that might be out of paper or ink, all over the world, from the US, to Europe, India and Japan.
    After an hour it had consumed all the bandwidth available polling 10-15000 printers and the network broke down.

    It was fun working IT those days.
