  3. How long have Saturn's rings been there? on Asteroid Strikes 'Increase Threefold Over Last 300 Million Years,' Survey Finds (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably major collisions between moons produces an increase in asteroid impacts for millions of years afterwards, until gravity eventually clears out the debris.

    I've got a whole case of Denon blank 60 minute tapes that have never been opened from 30 years ago! (Or did I throw those out?)

  6. Re:Depends on the design on Motorola's RAZR Is Returning As a $1,500 Folding Smartphone (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I phone that didn't butt dial all the time would be nice... but still not worth the $1500 price.

    I loved my G1 phone with pullout keypad; you could actually touch-type on it without looking. Unfortunately, my ex took it on vacation with her and didn't bring it back -- she claims it stopped working, I suspect she just sold it.

  11. Not just facebook on Lawsuit Reveals How Facebook Profited Off Confused Children: Report (salon.com) · · Score: 2

    I bitched at Microsoft Live for using the credit card number I gave them for Microsoft Live to let my daughter by Overwatch loot boxes without my permission, and they actually refunded my money -- but of course, I shut off my daughter's Microsoft Live after that. Yes, anybody offering in-game purchases should also offer parental controls, or face not getting paid -- children aren't legally able to enter into binding contracts.

  12. Re:It would probably improve my score on Fortnite Bugs Gave Hackers Access To Millions of Player Accounts, Researchers Say (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I let other people play on my daughter's account, to up her stats!

  13. If somebody takes over your account, can't you just create a new account? Seems like all you would lose would be your friend lists... unless you were stupid enough to actually buy in-game items that are purely cosmetic.

    If you never tell them what new company you're working for, how can they sue you?

  18. Jumping to conclusions on Blue Gems In Teeth Illuminate Women's Hidden Role In Medieval Manuscripts (abc.net.au) · · Score: 1

    This may not mean that nuns copied manuscripts, it might just mean that a woman dressed in drag to join a monastery!

  19. Most "gaming laptops" can only run for about an hour on battery, unless you throttle them way back. Yes, gaming still requires wires!

  20. The video card _might_ be upgradable...

  21. Look, I love tofu -- but tofu pretending to be real meat NEVER works, in my experience! I suspect this has the same problem.

  24. Re:Is that all that it takes? on London's Heathrow Airport Halts Departures Over Drone Sighting (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm thinking they need to invest in the technology to quickly and safely shoot these out of the sky and resume operations. I'm also thinking most of them would cause less damage to a jet than a goose strike would.
