  1. Well it's 'blocked' in the UK.... on Google Denies Demoting the Pirate Bay In Some Countries (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    Meaning you can't access it via the usual means.

    So google, will see no traffic from the UK to the site -> therefore the sites ranking falls. Makes sense really?

  2. Don't shout at your JBOD! on Researcher Turns HDD Into Rudimentary Microphone (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    Remember: NEVER SHOUT AT YOUR JBOD!.

    It's not yelling, if it's yelling?

  3. Re:Yelp's days are numbered on Google Rival Yelp Claims Search Giant Broke Promise Made to Regulators (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    If that's true, it's even funnier that they are scrapping the fact they produce the yellow pages in the uk, becoming a 'online only' company.

    I presume this is the same company that published the yellow pages....

  4. You all fail.

  5. But it says the patent applies to laptops too... on Jury Finds Nintendo Wii Infringes Dallas Inventor's Patent, Awards $10 Million (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    From the patent... : '3. The system as claimed in claim 1 wherein said communications device comprises one of: a hand held computer, a laptop computer and a wireless Internet access device.'

    Have laptops not been detecting falling situations from far before this came along?

  6. Re:FDIC on Central Banks Can't Ignore the Cryptocurrency Boom (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You missed the fact that the brokers have been hacked, time and time again, but then again banks seem to like leaving our details out anyway, so they are hardly who I'd turn to for trust worthy storage either ;)

  7. There's no point in having a robot move bricks a human can move. Human sized bricks are human sized, because humans suck for moving something bigger.

    Show me a robot that just places an entire wall in one go.

  8. Re:Virtual Private Raid on Ask Slashdot: How Would You Implement Site-Wide File Encryption? · · Score: 1

    However the chances of your kneecaps giving way is very high.

  9. From the blurb.... on The Project To Revive Abandoned Wikipedia Pages Has Been Abandoned (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    It looks like it was successful, everythings been adopted?

  10. Jason strikes again! on HandBrake 1.0.0 Released After 13 Years Of Development (fossbytes.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks Jason!

    You're the best!

  11. Which one tho?

    Nintendo's replacement to the ds was the ds was the ds xl was the 3ds, 2ds, 3ds XL supermega extreme sexy time edition.

    I can almost smell the number of sku's this things gonna have.

  12. > That's why the first commercial for Switch went to great lengths in explaining everything. You know exactly what the switch is and what it does. Every capability was shown in detail, so there is no confusion

    So, that screen is a touch screen then? Yes? No? Maybe?

  13. I use facebook@work so I can facebook@work on facebook@work while I'm on facebook@work!

  14. 95 light years... so if you're suggesting it's a signal we sent, we sent it 190 years ago, were we even aware of microwaves back then?

    Or are you suggesting it's an aliens signal that's bounced, and if so, why are they sending it at such power that we are seeing it?

  15. Re:That's not what it says on Older Workers Are Better At Adapting To New Technology, Study Finds (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Where as my experience as a 30-something year old tells me if I don't like something, I can change it, change myself, change my situation or stfu as no one else cares what I think.

  16. That's not what it says on Older Workers Are Better At Adapting To New Technology, Study Finds (cio.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It says the old people are less likely to complain, and are happy to put up with shit.

  17. Re:Taxes and laws in 3,2,1... on 7-Eleven Just Used a Drone To Deliver Slurpees and a Chicken Sandwich (roboticstrends.com) · · Score: 1

    And some still wonder why the states runs like a 3rd world country. This is why.

  18. Re:Great, just fucking great on Microsoft Prepares One Final, Full-Screen Get Windows 10 Nag (zdnet.com) · · Score: -1

    You're development machines are just grabbing those updates off the net? Nice.

  19. Re:Your shitty product kills jobs? on Security Researcher Gets Threats Over Amazon Review (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    I'm wondering if I captured some of those packets and replayed them over and over, really fast, maybe I could kill someone for real! :O

  20. More than you can possibly consume.... on Facebook Tweaks Its Newsfeed To Better Showcase Posts From Friends Instead Of Publishers (betanews.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    No, only if you're following more people than you can possibly think about.

    Please, for the love of all things holy, show me _everything_ my friends post. Let me filter out which of them I don't want to see. Hell, I don't even mind if you stick an *obvious* advert in the middle of the damn list, just give it me _ALL_.

  21. Re:Look out below!! on New FAA Rules Allow US Companies To Fly Drones Without a Pilot's License (faa.gov) · · Score: 1

    A 'net' over the concert wouldn't be that odd, and could they then be classed as 'protected' ?

    Also, could they class them as part of the UAS Operation ;)

  22. ... or be directly supervised by someone with such a certificate."

    Suddenly the scenes from TOYS with the kids 'playing' video game arcade consoles, controlling real life 'warplanes' is scarily possible.

  23. Re:This could be a scam on Russian Hacker Selling Information of 32 Million Twitter Accounts, Report Says (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2
