  1. Re: Big honking black cock on Comcast Rolls Out Nationwide 1TB Data Cap (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So put yours downstream of theirs. Problem solved. Very few people need a static address at home.

  2. But will they let said workers in, and pay accordingly for the cost of living there?

  3. Re:Wikileaks on WikiLeaks Posts 2,000 More Emails From John Podesta (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe we should stop pluralizing mass nouns.

  4. Re:Not Netflix's fault on Netflix Now Only Has 31 Movies From IMDB's Top 250 List (streamingobserver.com) · · Score: 1

    ... until they get sued.

  5. How nice it must be to be independently wealthy and not have to work for a living.

  6. I tried that when I found myself single but better off at 38. It doesn't work that way. Jobs are a function of having the trendy skills and stamina of a 23 year old. Friends are a function of being an asshole and finding a clique of similar sphincters. Women are a function of being tall and/or rich. Period.

  7. Re:Cognitive Load on The Psychological Reasons Behind Risky Password Practices (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Agreed. And when somewhere that 1password isn't available or working, you're screwed. BOA bought Merrill Lynch a while back, and enforced a *weaker* password than I had been using. How perverse is that?

  8. Re:Makes perfect sense on New iPhone 7 Case Brings Back the Headphone Jack (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    Totally. Mine prevents me from spending hours trying to get malware onto my phone or fighting with broken syncing and integration. And the way that it fails to splinter when looked at harshly is just criminal, and it sucks really really hard to have apps available.

  9. I have Comcast business / teleworker and I can't order tv service, so I'm curious how you did it. They told me they would have to set up a duplicate location in their DB but never did.

  10. Re:Pretty cool on Plex Cloud Means Saying Goodbye To the Always-On PC (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    And like the old Plex, it will show you fully HALF of your files!

  11. It also seems like we'll never get to see Juno imaging of the clouds either. Been a month and we have only that one shot of the pole.

  12. Re:Just don't buy HP on EFF Calls On HP To Disable Printer Ink Self-Destruct Sequence (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Or if you want to be able to board an airplane when you're delayed and your phone's battery runs out.

  13. Re:Money, money, money on Elon Musk Proposes Spaceship That Can Send 100 People To Mars In 80 Days (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I wonder though how much the sets of people who can afford this, and those who are young / fit enough to survive, intersect.

  14. Re: Greenhouse gas on Senate Panel Authorizes Money For Mission To Mars (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    Significantly reducing individual contribution is pretty simple, really. 1) Don't have five kids 2) Stop supporting animal agriculture 3) Work from home instead of commuting.

  15. Re: The power of a concentrated marketplace on Sad Reality: It's Cheaper To Get Hacked Than Build Strong IT Defenses (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Getting spam with someone's address in the From: header is hardly evidence they were hacked. As for not using Uverse's email service, why would you even consider an NSP-provided mailbox in the first place ?

  16. Re: Epipen cost: $30, regulatory costs: $30 mil+ on Hackers Offer a DIY Alternative To The $600 EpiPen (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    And when there *is* no school nurse???

  17. Re: Is anyone really surprised? on How The FBI Might've Opened the San Bernardino Shooter's iPhone 5c (schneier.com) · · Score: 1

    Ran the office. So she was upper management ? The FBI tech jobs I've seen required relocation to a shithole and offered pathetic pay.

    Sliding down Snegley?

  19. Re: None of this matters, it has no headphone jack on Apple iPhone 7 Plus Packs 3GB RAM, Early A10 Fusion Benchmarks Look Very Strong (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Most people never plug headphones into a phone. Those who do will simply keep our egos in our pants and just use the faking adapter. Attach it to one's existing headphones and boom now they're lightning. You forgot to bitch about it dropping the floppy and optical drives as well as the copper Ethernet.

  20. Re: That's close, in space terms on A Small Asteroid Buzzed Earth Wednesday, But Everything's Cool (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you for beating me to that. I cringe when someone uses the plural as singular. cf alga and algae

  21. It's in the hardware. Just not accessible. Given that FM radio has for years been limited to country, religious, jazz, and top-40 content I don't miss it. My RZR flip phone had no accessible radio function.

  22. Same goes for most retailers in the US. But even on chip cards the stripe still works.

  23. There is no significant middle tower market.

  24. I have one of those. It's called a laptop.

    Was it outrageous when Infiniti did exactly the same thing?
