  1. If your cable drop has voltage on it, there's something wrong with your install.

  2. Colorblind? on Researchers Dare AI Experts To Crack New GOTCHA Password Scheme · · Score: 1

    What about colorblind people?

    He's the cause for cancer, world hunger & global warming.

    The sad truth is people will believe that crap because it was on TV

    "Hello Computer!"

    How the heck is he supposed to pay that back?

    You do know that car *starts* at 55,000$ ?

    He never mentioned her age, she might be 25 and I don't know many people that age that own cars that expensive

  8. Re:I told them to fix it on Microsoft Admits Windows 8.1 Update May Bork Your Mouse, Promises a Fix · · Score: 1

    I'm amazed something like this even passed Quality Control.

    Amber CRTs are easier on the eyes...

  10. Re:Or maybe the young folks just hate meetings? on 20-Somethings Think It's OK To Text and Answer Calls In Business Meetings · · Score: 1

    "One day you are going to have to run this shit."

    That's what scares me...

  11. BS on GPUs Keep Getting Faster, But Your Eyes Can't Tell · · Score: 1

    Cuda, OpenCL and PhysX would tend to disagree about that statement.

    I'm pretty sure there's still room for improvement in framerate on a 6 4K monitor setup.

    Besides, technology has a tendency to trickle down, like F1 Racing technology from years ago is used in today's Fords and GMs, My cellphone blows the doors off a 2003 computer, heck, my Dollar-store calculator is probably faster than a 1995 supercomputer.

    Besides, ATI and nVidia fighting off brings us cheaper and more silent GPUs...

  12. Re:WTF on Android KitKat Released · · Score: 1

    More people have phones?

  13. Universal Translator on Microsoft Research Uses Kinect To Translate Between Spoken and Sign Languages · · Score: 1

    I knew it! the Federation runs on Microsoft technology. Guess that explains all the exploding consoles and Transporter accidents.

    Sure, she was spotted having coffee with Waldo

  15. Above the law on NSA Broke Into Links Between Google, Yahoo Datacenters · · Score: 1

    If I were to tap into someone's computer (or link or whatever), I'd get my ass sued off. Guess Google suing the NSA is out of the question...

  16. Re:When will the sheep look up on NSA Broke Into Links Between Google, Yahoo Datacenters · · Score: 1

    If it's like Canada (mostly like it), you have the choice between two corrupt parties at the Federal, Provincial and Municipal level, and some other *maybe-not-as-corrupt* smaller parties.

    Torries, we're fucked. Liberal, we're fucked by someone else, but still fucked...

  17. Re:Guns to Missiles to Lasers on Drone-Mounted Laser Weapons Are On the Way · · Score: 1

    They will have to adapt to a new market or die. Like any other manufacturer. (or get bailed out which seems more likely)

  18. Re:And all will have due process on RIAA Targets 21 Sites For Shutdown · · Score: 1

    No, they will just fine them 100,000$ per song and 2 million per movie, plus 50,000$ punitive damages for each .torrent found.

    (after seizing the servers located in other countries that is)

  19. Re:Mandatory OO code from here on in. on Toyota's Killer Firmware · · Score: 1

    Doesn't work that way. You need a real-time OS as light as possible (less lines of code = less chances of bugs) and hardened hardware.

  20. Re:Electronic throtle control problems on Toyota's Killer Firmware · · Score: 1

    "It may be faster in a manual, just push in the clutch, but I would recommend that you also turn off the key to avoid just letting the engine race and possibly self destruct. "

    Even if the engine's cut-off doesn't prevent it from reaching self-destruct RPM, I'd rather kill the engine than myself :)

    Xbone is much better :)

  22. Re:Uh... anyone check electric grid capacity? on 8 US States Pushing For 3.3 Million Electric Cars · · Score: 1

  23. Re:Hangings on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 1

    Just make sure they don't live on Elm street

  24. Re:CBS's consent on 5-Year Mission Continues After 45-Year Hiatus · · Score: 1

    Exactly. Same goes for Phase II (some eps are pretty good actually)

  25. Re:Why is iPad so much better than iPhone? on Apple Announces iPad Air · · Score: 1

    Most manufactureres tend to exagerrate battery life, but Apple tends to underestimate it on most of their devices
