  1. Re:Is This a Pump And Dump Press Release? on Cellphone Start-Ups Handle Calls With Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    I have a T-Mobile phone with Wi-Fi calling; it keeps turning the feature on by itself; and it sucks with dropped calls continually.

  2. Re:Coding is a dead end anyway on WA Pushes Back On Microsoft and Code.org's Call For Girls-First CS Education · · Score: 1

    Well, someone will have to write the detailed specification, and list of instructions for the 'deep learning system' to use to know what the humans want it to code. We could call that person a 'Programmerator' and the system a 'Compileatron'.

  3. Re:Gibson Guitar SWAT raid ... on Swatting 19-Year-Old Arrested in Las Vegas · · Score: 1

    Well, wanting to murder people is a sign of mental illness; and mentally ill people aren't usually that good at executing complex plans.

    “It was a scene right out of a Hollywood movie,” the Court’s ruling began. “Teams from the OCSO [Orange County Sheriff’s Office] descended... with some team members dressed in ballistic vests and masks, and with guns drawn, the deputies rushed into their target destinations, handcuffed the stunned occupants—and demanded to see their barbers’ licenses. The Orange County Sheriff’s Office was providing muscle for the Florida Department of Business and Professional Regulation’s [DBPR] administrative inspection of barbershops to discover licensing violations.”

  7. Re: Backpedalled? on New Jersey Gov. Christie: Parents Should Have Choice In Vaccinations · · Score: 1

    The kids with allergies used to die off early.

    I've also read research that if you regularly feed you baby food with small amounts of peanut in it, they are far less likely to develop peanut allergies, presumable because the immune system is used to the proteins.

  8. Sony Boycott. on Sony Sells Off Sony Online Entertainment · · Score: 1

    I had semi-boycotted Sony since the CD Rootkit and PS3 other-OS fiascos; I had 'grandfathered' in EQ, because I had already invested too much time and money into one MMO, and wasn't going to switch.

    Not sure how I feel about Russian oil/mineral conglomerates.

  9. Re:Likely for the best, quoted "analyst" is dumb on Sony Sells Off Sony Online Entertainment · · Score: 1

    I've read that Sony makes most of it's income from Insurance in Japan...

    Did the payouts from the 2011 Earthquake/Tsunami/Meltdown have much of an impact?

  10. Re:Everquest on Sony Sells Off Sony Online Entertainment · · Score: 1

    They still keep updating the engine tho,

    January 21, 2015 update included: "- Made an adjustment to the way that NPC character models created prior to the Omens of War expansion are loaded and displayed. This change coincides with a number of graphical updates and fixes to these models."

    It's slow, but still progressing.

  11. Re:Aussie gun laws. on DEA Planned To Monitor Cars Parked At Gun Shows Using License Plate Readers · · Score: 3, Funny

    In the USA, we have bears, cougars, wolves, etc. Guns are essential in rural areas, and we don't (yet) have border checkpoints at the cities (except Manhattan I think)

    in AUS, you have spiders, jellyfish, koalas, etc. Not even a bazooka will help you against them.

  13. Re:The Dangers of the World on Parents Investigated For Neglect For Letting Kids Walk Home Alone · · Score: 1

    Well, does 'car accident' include pedestrians being hit by a car?

    Fire makes everything better.

  15. Re:it IS a hoax on Senator Who Calls STEM Shortage a Hoax Appointed To Head Immigration · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Be a real shame if a recording of that were to leak.

    However, shitting your own pants is sure to make the interview more interesting.

  19. Re:The (in)justice system on Innocent Adults Are Easy To Convince They Committed a Serious Crime · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Plea Bargains save everyone time and money; as long a prosecutorial discretion exists, plea bargains will be possible. The alternative is the prosecutors office being required to pursue every single case. 5-17 year old took a nude picture of herself? Child Porn charges. kill in clear self defense? Murder charges. transpose two digits on your tax return? Tax Fraud charges.

    There wouldn't be enough people to serve on the juries for the people that missed jury duty!

    If it's an emergency, they can call 911.

  21. Infrastructure on China's Engineering Mega-Projects Dwarf the Great Wall · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's easy for us in the US to decry China building massive projects, when we already have our transcontinental rail, interstate highways, panama canal, etc. which would require so much 'environmental review' today, (just look at the difficulty of building modern nuclear power plants.)

    Funny story, back when I was contract testing at MS, I bugged that as potential privacy issue in Outlook Express before it was released but the triage team didn't think it was important enough to change.
