  1. Re:paywall paywall paywall on Quantum Network Joins Four People Together For Encrypted Messaging (newscientist.com) · · Score: 1

    Obviously not the brain, pretty sure that's already gone missing!

  2. What's the porn like on that network?

    Call us "Charmin", because in no time at all we'll be circling Uranus and wiping out Klingons!

  4. Re: Should have been written down to zero dollars on Verizon Admits Defeat With $4.6 Billion AOL-Yahoo Writedown (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If you have internet, you can get the equivalent of a landline over internet (e.g. OOMA) for about 1/10 the cost.

  5. Don't be so sexist... I'm sure there are plenty of gay TSA agents too!

  6. What's to stop you from removing the Micro SDHC card from your phone before the search? They're not getting their hands on MY MP3 files!

  7. Re:Cutting Emissions on Californians Have Now Purchased Half a Million EVs (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Toyota has a new engine that achieves 40% thermal efficiency, which is a new record for internal combustion engines. Stationary plants can be a lot more efficient because they can capture waste heat and put it to other uses.

    First World problems!

  9. People are still using Firefox? BOTH of them should get new browsers!

    Genesis 19:24-25: Then the Lord rained on Sodom and Gomorrah sulfur and fire from the Lord out of heaven. And he overthrew those cities, and all the valley, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and what grew on the ground.
    That doesn't sound like a meteorite burst to you?

  11. Re:Video games aren't good to watch for non-gamers on Video Games Won't Be Part of the Paris Olympics (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Overwatch is unwatchable because there are 12 players, but they only show you the view of one player at a time, which makes it really hard to grasp everything that is going on. They should probably just show it over the 'net and let you select your own view, kind of like how this year's Macy's parade was streamed in 360 so people with computers could zoom in on whatever they wanted (before they cut to another camera).

  12. Re:Athletes' Village on Video Games Won't Be Part of the Paris Olympics (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Good point, they should have a Fortnite event at the Olympics instead... a few of the competitors might even succeed in losing their virginity!

  13. Re:The Real Reason It Won't Happen on Video Games Won't Be Part of the Paris Olympics (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Blizzard does run an eSports league for Overwatch, and yes, they all run a standard rig for tournaments, an HP Omen. Looks like they can use their own headphones, but everything else is league-supplied. (No surprise, the Korean team dominates the league.)

    "He's got the strongest thumbs around!", said no sportscaster, ever!

  15. Really?!? on Video Games Won't Be Part of the Paris Olympics (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Bowling is much more of a sport than eGames, and you can do that while smoking and drinking beer!

    The story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah? Turns out there is evidence of a midair meteorite explosion on the north end of the Dead Sea around 5000 BC. In other words, many biblical stories may be based at least partially on actual events. There is also evidence of a meteor crater in Greenland from around 14,000 years ago. So far, no evidence of a collision strong enough to knock man-made items into space, but it is still possible, albeit extremely unlikely.

  17. Re:Thanks, Trump! on Global Carbon Emissions Jump To All-Time High in 2018 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, the Earth goes through a 5000 year climate cycle, so it is difficult to determine what part of climate change is due to natural cycles and what part is due to human actions. However, I cannot believe the huge amounts of carbon dioxide we've released into the atmosphere in the past 100 years has had no effect on climate!

  18. Thanks, Trump! on Global Carbon Emissions Jump To All-Time High in 2018 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Mar-a-lago will soon be underwater, thanks to you! "I don't believe it!" -- Delusional Donald Trump

  19. Porn has non-zero production costs. SOMEBODY must be paying something, or NONE of it would exist. I just question the business model of "We'll give you all the porn you want for as long as you want for free just to get you hooked on it so you'll start paying someday."

  20. Rather naive of you to assume you're going to enjoy seeing ALL the porn, isn't it? Do the words "goatse" and "tubgirl" mean anything to you? I've seen stuff that had permanently diminished my life... and it was pretty hard to wank to too!

  21. Re:Low estimate. on A Quarter of Tumblr's Users Are There To Consume Porn, Data Scientists Estimate (vice.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wait... there's a profit model for posting porn to tumblr? Why don't we just remove copyright protection completely for porn, then there will be no motivation to create more of it, and they'll stop exploiting people. Don't know why people think I'm stupid when I suggest that...

    Scrubbing toilets, web site development... what's the difference? Both jobs, you're just cleaning up the shit left there by other people!

  23. ...that means even MORE Trump supporters are going to be out of work!

  24. Every mass exodus starts with the most qualified, most valuable employees, and continues to the lesser and lesser qualified ones. It takes the most qualified people less time to find another job! Eventually, all that are left are the incompetents... Yahoo!
