  1. Re:American problem is American on Scientists Invent Ultrasonic Dryer That Uses Sound To Dry Your Clothes (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Washed and dried, ultrasonically. Although, iif you washed them ultrasonically, they may not be wet to need drying.

  2. It's a dry kind of insane. Kind of like Aussie humour.

  3. Re:User Choice on Samsung Blocks Ability To Remap Galaxy S8's Bixby Button (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Nice legs you have. You wouldn't want something bad to happen to them, right?

  4. Zero tolerance policies are unworkable, IMO.

  5. Hmmmm, on The Woman Whose Phone 'Misdiagnosed HIV' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They aren't tricorders, yet...

  6. I'm in awe of your "scare quotes" :) I'd look at a way of making it go to a fake server, and re-issue the packets with a different UID? I'm sure the DMCA would have conniptions.

  7. If I visit, it'll be with a factory-wiped phone. In a factory case, so this looks legit. Then I logon, and redownload all my stuff after customs.

  8. Apparently on More Than a Hoodie: How We Talk About Developers (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    We all use green-screen CRT's

  9. It's not technically bricked, no change to the customers firmware, the manufacturer just added a block to the UID on his (the manufacturer's) server. Not saying that this is an appropriate response, but it's quite reversible. Manufacturer needs to get some decent support staff.

  10. Re: Batteries from Nevada to Australia? on Elon Musk: I Can Fix South Australia Power Network in 100 Days Or It's Free (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Does etsa still exist? I thought it'd been privatised and renamed. I sorta come from SA but it's been a while.

  11. 50% of apps won't run without admin rights. I pulled that figure out of my arse, but it's probably not wildly inaccurate.

  12. Removing and replacing surface-mounted electronics is not for the faint-hearted. But I'd like to see manuals and schematics come back.

  13. Commercial potential... on Alaska Gets 'Artificial Aurora' As HAARP Antenna Array Listens Again (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    A huge Coke banner across the sky.

  14. If my Nokia 6110 still works. That and a prepaid SIM should be ok.

  15. Cleanup phone before visiting on US Visitors May Have to Hand Over Social Media Passwords: DHS (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't have facebook app on it, or facebook on browser memory, It's going to be hard to prove you even have a FB account. Or Twitter, or LinkedIn, etc

  16. Wait, by what?

  17. Something like a warp-core ejection system.

  18. It's an exhaust port.

  19. Re: GAYmergate on GamerGate Critic Brianna Wu To Run For Congress (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Gatesgate, a Microsoft conspiracy

  20. You mean ... on The UN Will Consider Banning Killer Robots (hrw.org) · · Score: 1

    Like all the items that are 'banned' now, but still sold and used?

  21. Re:Fake News on US Scientists Scramble To Protect Research On Climate Change (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    First they came for the ... :)

  22. Interfere in the political process of another country himself! Oh wait, how would you notice that?

  23. Re:No sex between rulemakers. on Uber Asks Everyone To Stop Making It The New Tinder (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    Procreational? So it's ok if we use frangers?

  24. I was thinking more of prevention, given that a cause is high blood pressure.

  25. So, it's beneficial with respect to strokes. (not that kind of stroking, you dirty bastards :)
