  1. My cable recommendation... on USB-C Power Meter Helps You Spot Counterfeit Accessories Before They Fry Your Gadgets (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    I use only the spun-gold Monster Type-C cables. I know, they cost quite a bit at a little over $600 a foot, but the power is so smooth, and a certified genuine Yogi meditated over them. If you really care about the performance of your equipment, you buys these and do without food.

    What's wrong with mutual masturbation? You and your buddy feeling guilty?

    Awesome review!

    Lost in Translation was an excellent movie. Perhaps it was too cerebral for you...

  5. Clean Diesel? on US EPA Accuses Fiat Chrysler of Excess Diesel Emissions (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem was discovered with new testing that better measures real-world emissions. The new tests were implemented in the wake of the VW scandal.
    .
    "Most vehicles pass these tests," said Giles. "It is by no means impossible to make a clean diesel passenger vehicle that meets these standards."

    I though there were some people saying you couldn't make a diesel passenger vehicle the EPA liked, emissions wise. Am I wrong?

  6. Re:Analogue revival on Cassettes Are Back, and Booming (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Vinyl recordings, magnetic tape, photo film. All are on the slow uptick since a few years ago.

    Buggy whips soon to follow!

  7. According to the regulatory filing, the changes will take place after the sale of its core business is completed with Verizon for roughly $4.8 billion.

    I'm genuinely surprised it's worth that much.

  8. HTML was supposed to define a page semantically (e.g. header 1). Letting it get crufted up with instructions on how to make it look pretty was a horrible idea (albeit one that came early on). A form should look like a form. No, I don't need whatever new hotness some designer invented with some color scheme A/B tested to hell and back to try to trick me into clicking the desired button.

    The solution to your problem is this great browser calld Lynx. Google it!

  9. What's all these funny letters? on Kodak Is Bringing Back Ektachrome Film (petapixel.com) · · Score: 1

    Great, now the damned asteroids know how to evade our defenses! Brilliant!

    Don't worry, Trump knows more than you about this issue.

    Hate to say it, but a bad idea in search of a problem...

    The only microphone I have is the microphone in my Nokia N900 and I doubt the N900 and its ancient web browser could run any of whatever backend code has to listen for the special sound.

    All you people are rubes! I use a can and a string...

  14. Re:Just to screw with Trump on Obama Administration Releases Searchable Archive of Social Media Posts (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if accidental, a precedent on presidents not "deleting tweets" is a good thing.

    If the President "tweets", isn't it a public record that has to be maintained?

    Disney has several new animations - "Moana" for example - that are spectacular in 3D.

  17. Re:Too Bad Facebook already co-opted it on Snapchat Cited False User Numbers in Order To Boost IPO, Alleges Lawsuit by Ex-worker (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    I will continue not to go there as it adds nothing to my life.

    And that the thing. That it adds nothing to your life does not mean that others feel the same way. Go ahead and judge them, after all we know everyone should be like you and those that are no are somehow deficient...

    Yeah and Google Plus or whatever it was called was the end of Facebook.

    Google Plus is still around, but rubes like you don't go there. Please continue not to go there.

  19. They aren't building the new plant, because demand for smaller vehicles they make in Mexico (Ford Focus compacts were going to the new facility but will now be made in Hermosillo, Mexico) are down so the factory wasn't needed.

    That demand is down IN Mexico, it does not necessarily follow that they would not build a new plant there. The two are only partially connected.

     

  20. How did the Mexican city lose something that was yet to be built, or that was yet to hire anybody?

    Really, is it that hard?

    They lost the potential that was there when it looked good for Ford because of NAFTA, which Trump has said he plans to gut. With NAFTA firmly in place, Ford would have built in Mexico, Trump or no Trump (it's about making money). But with NAFTA sure to be repealed or whatever you do with such things, it's no longer a "sure thing" for Ford, and Ford expects (with good reason) that Trump will throw some tax breaks their way.

    See?

  21. Re:This is fucking awesome on Family Sues Apple For Not Making Thing It Patented (nymag.com) · · Score: 1

    Also, because they have the patent, no other company can make a phone with that feature even if they wanted too (well with out paying apple), thus locking the entire market out from having the safety feature in their phones.

    Complete bullshit.

    The patent applies to a particular implementation.

    ...swap that out with any other situation such as "we need a search warrant to search all of the apartments in a building because one of them may have, or may soon commit a crime" and any judge in the US with their head screwed on straight would laugh it out of court...

    No in the "National Security Court"...

  23. Maybe they are being micromanaged to the point of irrelevance, but I want to believe that after 20 years of trying to make a decent web browser they'd achieve success...or lacking that, they'd fail because some idiot manager keeps fucking them up.

    Apply that same thought pattern to the crap that is the latest version of Firefox...

    [sarcasm]

    Let's make a deal: you stop paying taxes, and you also stop using anything that was paid for by taxes. I'm fine with that. Have fun in your cave.

    Donald Trump doesn't pay taxes, why should I?
