  1. Re:Did ICE take down Kodi? on Amazon Bans Sales of Media Player Boxes That Promote Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Mouse over the "penalties"....

  2. Re:Is this just removing stuff like Popcorn Time? on Amazon Bans Sales of Media Player Boxes That Promote Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    April fools

  3. Re:Isn't that all Kodi? on Amazon Bans Sales of Media Player Boxes That Promote Piracy (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Kodi has MythTv plugin that allows it to work as a fantastic MythTv frontend. Can play all your over-the-air DVR'd shows. Also DVDs/BluRays and their players with young kids don't mix. Its easier to rip the movies to a file server on the network and play the movies from kodi then have a 3 year old scale furniture with a disk in his mouth trying to put it in the player.

  4. Re:Don't you dare blame the disabled on 20,000 Worldclass University Lectures Made Illegal, So We Irrevocably Mirrored Them (lbry.io) · · Score: 1

    $1 per minute...the shortest lectures I had in college were about 45 minutes, but most were an hour... 45*20000=$900,000 Can I have a branch off your money tree where to you a million bucks is minimal?

  5. Re:Pro Shareholder Agenda on Facebook Shareholders Urge Company To Replace Mark Zuckerberg With 'Independent' Board Chair (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The end users of Facebook are not the "owners" or even the "Customers" for that matter. They are the product.

  6. SLING is for Sports on Streaming TV is Beginning To Look a Lot Like Cable (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The only value sling has is for ESPN1/2/3 if you want live sports that are exclusive to that network. Its month-to-month and you can subscribe during the sport seasons you are interested in. I don't know why anyone would have SLING for any other reason.

  7. Re:I'll miss it on Google Is Removing the Desktop Notification Center From Chrome (chromium.org) · · Score: 1

    You just need a separate monitor dedicated to email.

  8. Re:CB Radio on Opening Fixed-Code Garage Doors With a Toy In 10 Seconds · · Score: 1

    We had to unplug our garage door when we wanted to play with our RC car or the door would go up and down.

  9. Re:As usual... on Student Photographer Threatened With Suspension For Sports Photos · · Score: 1

  10. Re:"Easy to read" is non-sense on The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read · · Score: 1

    Identify code as being programmed by a moron.

  11. Re:And it's already fixed in 1.8.4 on Exploit For Crashing Minecraft Servers Made Public · · Score: 4, Informative

    They can't really say they "weren't aware" when the original bug submitter's proof of concept exploit (that was provided to them) was not fixed by the "patch". That is at best extremely lazy testing.

  12. Re:One highly-publicized case is all it took on Reason: How To Break the Internet (in a Bad Way) · · Score: 1

    Users also got the immense pleasure of paying more for their service.

  13. Re:...and the problem was...? on Pizza Hut Tests New "Subconscious Menu" That Reads Your Mind · · Score: 2

    You might not have a problem selecting pizza toppings, however, in my experience Pizza Hut has a problem delivering the pizza with the toppings you selected. This way they can just build a pizza of random ingredients because of "SUPER SHINY MAGIC MIND READER" rather than because "We dropped your pizza on the floor and this is what popped out of the oven next." or "Our pizza is shit anyway why do you care whats on it"

  14. Re:Do any of us know how much we really use? on Hungary's Plans For Internet Tax On Hold After Protests · · Score: 1

    So pretty much exactly the same as the American Right

  16. Re:Libraries are one thing Amazon is not on Why the Public Library Beats Amazon · · Score: 2

    I'm sure most parents would be totally OK with the much more efficient "Toothless Joe's Baby Story Time" hosted at his white panel van in the alley behind the gas station. Kids could pet exotic animals like wild rats and racoons. It would be a hoot.

  17. Re:Fundamental thermodynamics on Condensation On Your Beer != Good · · Score: 1

    Cooling down from sweating has nothing to do with condensation. In fact its the opposite. The "cooling" effect is the result of evaporation of the sweat. The process of evaporation (liquid->gas) absorbs heat whereas the processes of condensation (gas->liquid) releases heat.

  18. Re:Fundamental thermodynamics on Condensation On Your Beer != Good · · Score: 0

    Mod parent up! This is what I was thinking when I read the headline/summary. I had visions of high school physics and phase diagrams appeared in my head. Condensation is an exothermic reaction so it releases heat...

  23. Re:Counterpoint on Firefighters Let House Burn Because Owner Didn't Pay Fee · · Score: 5, Informative

    As others have pointed out, the fire department showed up to prevent the fire from spreading to the neighbor's property. The neighbor had paid the $75.

  24. Re:Doing their part to reduce traffic! on Rude Drivers Reduce Traffic Jams · · Score: 1

    By your logic any passing on any roadway ever is a "questionably safe practice". And furthermore you are stating that no one should be upset ever when someone makes a blatantly unsafe driving maneuver (changing lanes without looking).
