  1. Of course they give a reach around!

    How else are they going to empty your wallet while pounding you from behind?

    Maybe that second amendment should be updated from well-regulated to well-MEDICATED?

    I wonder what a round trip to the ISS costs. Is it less than a million Euros? If so, SEND HIM THERE.

    And don't let him come back until you have the money.

  4. I am always concerned when I see the term "goatse" in a post that also includes the words "Trust me."

  5. Re:My first thought... on BMW Traps A Car Thief By Remotely Locking His Doors (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The easy solution would be that the lock requires a current - with no current, hydraulics flip it to unlocked.

  6. Then you should learn about islam.

    I prefer reading the Silmarillion to both the Bible and the Quran.

  7. Re:Not a unique situation on How Microsoft Lost In Court Over Windows 10 Upgrades (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Last I heard, the updates ranged around 4 GB.

    That would be locking me out of doing anything online for over a day each time thanks to craptastic net.

    On one hand I'm glad I dodged that bullet, but on the other I'm contemplating yelling at my ISP with those numbers to back it up and demand they do something smart like get this area into the 21st century already.

    Surely they can localise the owners of one of a handful of people?

    Did I miss the memo? Is slavery back in vogue?

    No, he really does.

    The first generation of computers? Someone in the business (I think it was IBM, but don't quote me on that) predicted that the world might need FIVE computers!
    The first generation of mobile phones? Literally briefcases owned only by the richest business people wanting to look hip and futuristic.
    The first generation of the internet? Two computers trying to communicate over the phone lines by sending the word 'LOGIN'. They broke down after the G.

    So then which policies are you happy with? The one that cuts off health care to old people so they can die, or the one that cuts off health care for poor people so they can die?

    Does this mean we can revive the DEATH SQUADZ! meme?

  11. Re: Those who something, something on Of 8 Tech Companies, Only Twitter Says It Would Refuse To Help Build Muslim Registry For Trump (theintercept.com) · · Score: 2, Informative

    Based on how I understand the teachings of Islam, being muslim excludes you from being anything else. It is their job, their purpose, to spread Islam and the Sharia law to every corner of the globe. Do you want America to remain the culture it is today? Islam - and by extension (an unknown sized subset of) muslims - does not.

  12. That's assuming they don't just shoot you to stop you from using your strange device to hack the Pentagonz!

  13. She was a client that couldn't navigate her car insurance; what were the odds that she could find a way of actually going to court and winning instead of just calling them up in tears, promising to take down her review if they'd just leave her alone?

  14. The obvious solution on Free TV-Show Streaming Hurts Online Sales, Research Finds (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Make the first part of the first season free for streaming. Like, the first four-six episodes so you can get a taste for the show.

    Is the show good? People will buy the rest.

    Is the show bad? People will not give it money it does not deserve.

    Win-win.

  15. Re:What contract? on Taking a Stand Against Unofficial Ubuntu Images (ubuntu.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Most likely it's more an issue of using the name Ubuntu.

    I am not familiar with the French legal code so I'll refrain from answering 1), but the answer to 2) is "Free speech".

    The cure for a LOT of things is essentially 'a drug trip'.

  19. Sounds like their Windows Phones were actually Note 7s if they could use them to grill an entire human.

  20. Which is something you can easily just create if you find yourself in a city you're not familiar with and just need to get somewhere once.

    Maybe he sends them each time he gets up at night to go to the bathroom, and the annoyance at waking up all the time because of a weak bladder is what spills onto Twitter?

    Holy, that actually makes sense.

    Sure there are.

    To paraphrase Trump himself, maybe the second amendment supporters can do something about it.

  23. Re:Lets not worry about this yet on Trump Will Get Power To Send Unblockable Mass Text Messages To All Americans (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    Considering that Bill Clinton got impeached for not admitting publicly that he'd been cheating on his wife, that scenario should get Trump removed from office very very quickly.

    I prefer sitting in a sofa or comfortable chair when watching a movie, at which point holding up a phone in front of my face gets much heavier than putting a laptop on a table in front of me.

    But hey, if you watch movies while just standing around be my guest.
