  1. Re:Translation: on Google To Drop Nexus Brand Name, Move Away From Stock Android (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I just want them to unify the SD storage and the embedded so I don't have to shuffle stuff around every time an app wants an update. It'd be nice to be able to delete the shovelware, but I'll settle for being able to get it out of my way.

  2. Re:Arab sponsored. on 'Fourth Amendment Caucus' Aims To Fight Government Surveillance (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "A Republic. If you can keep it."

    It seems we're nearing the end of this little experiment.

  3. Re:That doesn't matter much on Four Newly Discovered Elements Receive Names (theverge.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    LEMMIUM! Where's Lemmium? The heaviest element possible.

  4. Re:Samsung employs the footgun ! on Samsung To Roll Out In-TV Ads To Legacy Displays Via Software Update · · Score: 1

    Only if there's 60" of TV left over once the adspace is deducted.

    / not even then

  5. Re:I like it. Ties into cars quite neatly. on Jeremy Clarkson's Amazon Show To Be Called The Grand Tour (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Now it's called a 'Gap Year' as what's left of the Middle Class can't really afford 'Grand' anything anymore.

  6. Re:Loss of one engine deadly near takeoff on Jet Strikes Drone Near Heathrow Airport (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not so much an engine shutting down as it is an engine assploding/disintegrating.

  7. Re:Then there's some of us on Researchers Propose Neural Network To Assess Your State of Mind From Your Voice (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    You speak your punctuation? Or do you mean punctuation implied by timing and inflection?

  8. Re:Higher capacitance per unit area on Supercapacitor-On-a-Chip Now One Step Closer (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    I can't think of an on-die application that would not need _really_ good AC characteristics to be worthwhile. You're adding [super]capacitance there as the lowest ESR/ESL charge reserve you can make. If you can't beat an MLCC on top of the leadframe, you're adding expense to be 'cool', but not adding performance.

  9. Re:What did anyone expect? on Clinton Hints At Tech Industry Compromise Over Encryption (huffingtonpost.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Why not both?

  10. Do HiFis count? on Can Your Hardware Top 18 Years and Ten Months? (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    My two main stereos are a 1960 Bell and a '62 Zenith - both connected to older Roku players served by a NAS.

    Expect an adjustment to include a 100-mile radius around any airport that has a Passport Control or customs facility.

  12. Re:The engineers knew what was happening on How Did Volkswagen Cheat Emissions Tests, and Who Authorized It? · · Score: 2

    That's how C-level executives in civilized countries behave - it's a symbolic beheading of the culprit to show atonement. In this country, they get bigger bonuses for this stuff.

  13. New window dressing gives the appearance of privac on New Cellphone Surveillance Safeguards Imposed On Federal Law Enforcement · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I bet this little dance does nothing but make it harder to prove your rights were ignored in pursuit of your conviction.

  14. Re:Environmental factors on 60,000 Antelope Died In 4 Days, and No One Knows Why · · Score: 1

    Cyanide gas leaking from melting 'perma'frost?

  16. Re:It will never work on Philadelphia Hackers and Others Offer Brotherly Love To Fallen Robot · · Score: 0

    Philly's been a hog lagoon since not very long after 1789. The Constitution was pretty much the last positive thing to come out of that place.

    Congratulations on your new status of 'Single'

  18. Didn't realize Ms Streisand was French on Google Rejects French Order For 'Right To Be Forgotten' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Once upon a time, when most of us lived in smallish villages, ALL your neighbors knew your business - the only way to have anonymity was to leave town, which was difficult and dangerous. Now everyone's village spans the globe, and leaving is even more difficult and dangerous. I value anonymity, which I maintain by seeming as average as possible.

  19. I know quantum stuff is hard to pin down, but not knowing where Qumputing is by a century-wide error band is pretty bad.

    Ginger is an anagram for black - or at least one of its synonyms.

  24. Re:nothing new under the sun on Affair Site Hackers Threaten Release of All User Data Unless It Closes · · Score: 0, Troll

    Because wives are never talented hackers bent out of shape that a husband strayed.
