  1. I Use Flouride Q-tips. on Biometric Tech Uses Sound To Distinguish Ear Cavity Shape · · Score: 1

    My ear canals are cavity free!!!

  2. Please Pile On More Laws. on Contradictory Understandings of "Robot" Sow Confusion In US Law (medium.com) · · Score: 0

    One can never have enough laws. More laws please. No one should be able to escape the guilt. A guilty society is a controlled society.

  3. 192.168.0.2 Is The Offending IP on Microsoft To Court: Make Comcast Give Us Windows-Pirating Subscriber's Info (networkworld.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Saved by the NAT!!!

  4. Someone Needs To Curb Stomp The Queen. on UK Snooper's Charter To Extend Police Access To Phone and Internet Data (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    I think someone needs to remind the UK that they aren't above getting sanctioned or just cut off from the net. Don't get me wrong, I like Top Gear as much as the next guy, but this is a load of crap. The US and UK fought 2 wars against countries that thought fences and surveillance and totalitarian control was evil. Now we(they) are turning into the same thing. Only a newer, sicker, more sublime version.

  5. Judge Sides With FBI In Cali on Judge Favors Apple In iPhone Unlocking Case In New York (google.com) · · Score: 1

    http://www.reuters.com/article... So maybe this is a better story ;)

  6. Please Test The Coil Whine. on CompuLab Rolls out Fanless, High-End PCs With Unique Design (phoronix.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    After replacing the fans in my rig with ultra-low quiet ones, I found that the coil whine from the power supply and video card are more annoying than the whoosh of noisy fans. I'm too cheap to subscribe to phoronix's site, so maybe someone can suggest it to him.

  7. "resource actions" or "workforce rebalancing" on IBM Added 70,000 People To Its Ranks In 2015, And Lost That Many, Too (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or in other words, "we don't pay retirement packages and we don't believe in careers at IBM". Remember folks capitalism has no bounds, no emotions, no respect. The perfection of corporate slavery is complete.

  8. Re:This will be interesting on Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Twitter To Back Apple With Legal Filing In FBI Case (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    Both and Neither. The government gets its money from the corporations. The government tells the corporations how much to pay and how to act. The corporations pay the government extra money when they want to act different than expected. The government likes it when someone gives it extra money so it ensures that the corporation gets to do what it wants. This is called a shell game in order to enact some other shit on the only thing left to control...the citizens.

  9. Re:Is this treason? on Apple Is Said To Be Working On an iPhone Even It Can't Hack (nytimes.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except that it ISN'T the SOLE intention. The sole intention is to give US citizens a secure method of communication. Just like the interstate's sole intention is to let US citizens travel safely across the country. Just because an enemy or terrorist or undesirable can use these too doesn't make it less stupid. Interstates and secure phones aren't treasonous since they can't have intentions since they have no souls.

  10. Once A Prisoner - Always A Prisoner on Australia's Major Parties Vote Against Encryption In Wake of Apple FBI Case (delimiter.com.au) · · Score: 1

    At least stupidity doesn't skip continents.

  11. Mirror, Mirror On The Wall on Internet By Light Promises To Leave Wi-Fi Eating Dust (yahoo.com) · · Score: 2

    Why the fuck can I not get a call?

  12. Pay For My Internet And We Will Talk on Google, Yahoo Cry About Ad-Blocking (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Until then, you can self-abort. I see your sneakiness and raise you 2 sneakies.

  13. I Have Some Beach Front Property In Arizona on In Progress: Fastest Sea Rise In At Least 2800 Years (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    I will sell you.....oh wait.

  14. Does Everyone Have State Secrets On Their Phone? on Airport Experiment Shows That People Recklessly Connect To Any Free Wi-Fi Spot (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    Geez. I think folks are getting a little too big for their britches. Who gives a shit about an erasable phone? If you are that afraid to surf some wireless signals then turn the damn thing off. This sort of shows that a lot of people don't care and they shouldn't care.

  15. Re:PS4 on Valve Releases SteamVR Perf Test To Measure Your PC (pcper.com) · · Score: 1

    Um, the only thing that will blow is the Pinto's gas tank. Those cars are only good for boat anchors and reefs for the fishies. If it weren't for the Pacer and the Yugo , it would also hold the ugliest car in the world title.

  16. Re:PS4 on Valve Releases SteamVR Perf Test To Measure Your PC (pcper.com) · · Score: 1

    Because a Pinto is just as fun to drive as a Bentley.

  17. And The Suits Droned On And On And On. on AT&T and Intel Team Up To Test Drone Technology (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Until a cash pile made them quiet.

  18. No Go On GTX 660 SLI. on Valve Releases SteamVR Perf Test To Measure Your PC (pcper.com) · · Score: 1

    Even though the demo ran smooth on my i7-920 @ 3.8 GHz, the program said not enough snuff.

  19. Bored Teenager Finds Car Keys. Goes For Drive. on What Happens When Google Doc Credentials Are Leaked On the Dark Web? (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    So you are saying that folks that are criminals who specialize in ID fraud will use an ID that isn't their for nefarious deeds? I guess you will tell us soon that blind people don't need lights in their house or paralyzed folks don't climb mountains.

  20. They Could Get The Pope To Assure Him on Snowden Would Return To US If Government Guarantees Fair Trial (thehill.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    And I still wouldn't believe them. There is no such thing as a fair trial when the US Govt. is involved. They will hang you, shoot you, or put you to sleep. I understand you are homesick, but that ship has sailed. Unless they offer to make you president, just stay in Russia.

  21. Backdoor Alliance on Microsoft, Intel, Samsung, Other Tech Companies Form New IoT Alliance (techtimes.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Gotta make sure those backdoors have compatible interoperability.

  22. Quad SLI Supercomputer For The Desktop. on Nvidia Pascal GP100 GPU To Rock 4 TFLOPS Double Precision, 12 TFLOPS Single Precision Processing Power (techtimes.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Stick these in a dual processor 18 core Xeon board with some nice fiber channel flash storage and then we can really play some solitaire.

  23. Re:And We Thought Idiots With Phones Are Bad. on HTC Vive Is $799, Ships From April 1st (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    Oh. I forgot about that. Didn't know you couldn't put your high end laptop in a backpack with a cable to the device. I also didn't know GTX 970's couldn't fit in laptops. And I sure didn't know laptops ran on batteries.

  24. Re:Good stuff Whipslash on HTC Vive Is $799, Ships From April 1st (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    If you pay him he will post your ad too. So, um, what is the problem? At least it's not about some political crap. See this thing has circuits and software and buttons on it with a display. I don't know too many nerdy types who WOULDN'T want to discuss it. Maybe you should try harder next time.

  25. And We Thought Idiots With Phones Are Bad. on HTC Vive Is $799, Ships From April 1st (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1

    Wait until these idiots are walking around in public causing traffic jams and falling off bridges and balconies.
