  1. Re:All I can say to this is... on More Than 500,000 Hoverboards Recalled Because of Fire Hazards (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I think something more appropriate would have been "Great Scott!"

  2. Re:Probably an excuse to jack the price. on iPhone 7 To Start at 32GB Storage, Says WSJ (time.com) · · Score: 1

    Sir Jonathan Paul "Jony" Ive would never allow something like a "slot" on his beautiful designs.

    After all, form is above function. The latest Mac mini update is proof of that. We can't have the users upgrade their own computer's RAM!

    Yes it should.

    If we were still in 1996.

  4. Re:Self destruct on 73% of Subscribers Would Download Netflix Content, Says Survey (allflicks.net) · · Score: 1

    They don't "randomly" delete content from their catalog. It's the licenses that expire, but Netlifx doesn't give us any easy-to-access ways of finding out when the titles will expire.

  5. Re: Alleviate bandwidth concerns on 73% of Subscribers Would Download Netflix Content, Says Survey (allflicks.net) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the files be valid for X days, where X is the number of days remaining on your already-paid-for monthly subscription?

  6. We both know that "streaming and downloading" both mean the data goes through your modem, but what happens to the data afterward is the difference between the two words here.

    What you did is basically the same as renting a DVD and ripping it. You paid for a rental but made a permanent copy. That's not what you paid for.

  7. Re:Riiiiight on 73% of Subscribers Would Download Netflix Content, Says Survey (allflicks.net) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Streaming = the movie is not stored on the device, requires an Internet connection to play.
    Downloading = the movie is stored on the device, does not require an Internet connection to play.

  8. Re:Neo Geo and 3DO broke $1K after inflation on Microsoft Xbox Project Scorpio Puts Out 6 TFLOPs On Par With Current Gaming PCs (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    But the number of Neo-Geo consoles is nothing compared to the number of consoles sold by the other companies at that time.

    I'm not saying a $1K console wouldn't sell at all, I'm saying it would be out of reach for the majority of console gamers.

  9. Who would buy $1K gaming consoles?

  10. Re:Google Advertisement Here on Google Offers Free 4-Month Play Music Trial Subscription For July 4th (macrumors.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    If it was really free, they would only ask for your credit card once the four free months are over.

  11. Re:Germany + DMCA = ? on Blizzard Sues Overwatch 'Cheat' Maker For Copyright Infringement (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Every cheating player should have his account banned. Want to play again? Buy the game again.

  12. Re:Bond, James Bond.... on China Finishes Building Its Alien-Hunting Telescope · · Score: 2

    No aliens, but what about Moonraker? If that's not Bond-science-fiction, I don't know what is.

    I'm sorry, I was thinking about something else.

  14. Re:Anti-social management on A New Corporate AI Can Read Your Emails - and Your Mind (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    That's like those ad companies that try to figure out what our interests are instead of directly asking us to check a few boxes on a form.

  15. Anyone have any anecdotal experiences? on Multitasking Drains Your Brain's Energy Reserves, Researchers Say (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone have any anecdotal experiences that back this up?

    Yes. I'll get back to you after a break.

    If politicians are composed mainly of hot air, why are they considered humans?

    Are you really that stupid? Nobody's talking about Mars! This is to learn about the gas giant for a future colony.

    No, it goes in the 3D prin.... oh, I see what you did there.

  20. Well, the point still stands, there's still something else using that meme in the technology sector. And with a name like "servo" the best they could pick is that Shibe?

    Never estimate the fear of change

    You're damn right! Always measure the fear of change in quantifiable units!

  24. What's with the Dogecoin mascot? Did they really think nobody would notice? They can't even come up with their own damn mascot now?
