    Basic understanding of endocrinology would say the same thing too.

    Ipod meet zune, take two.

  3. Re: That's why we wear watches on our left hands. on Hackers Can Use Smart Watch Movements To Reveal A Wearer's ATM PIN (ieee.org) · · Score: 2

    Sounds like it could be a hipsters dream come true.

  4. Re: That's just great... on Linux Letting Go: 32-bit Builds On the Way Out (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    True, 12 years old for a main machine is pretty old. For some secondary tasks no big deal though

  5. Re: That's just great... on Linux Letting Go: 32-bit Builds On the Way Out (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    There are lots of great Linux distros.

  6. Re: Who gives a shit? on TP-LINK Loses Control of Two Device Configuration Domains (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Tp link dispite being a noname router manufacturer to many actually makes great equipment for about 1/2 the price of other brands often performing better. Don't beleive me? Check out reviews anywhere. Not sure the domain control thing matters as most people just use the lan address.

  7. I think it could be useful for some kind of in town pod autonomous cars that taxi people in the city and park themselves into tight spaces when not needed.

  8. Re: and nothing of any value on Apple In Talks To Buy Jay Z-Owned Tidal Streaming Service (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2

    I'll tip my zune to that!

  9. Re: How many false claims? on DMCA Notices Remove 8,268 Projects On Github In 2015 (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    I just had a youtube video taken over by a music company, automatically taking my adsense revenue. The shitty part is the music I was using was youtubes own copyright free music!

  10. These days it's probably a good idea to have a facebook account. Even if you just add a few people, and like a few cat pictures a year and log off again.

  11. Re: What about drug testing? on Tour de France To Use Thermal Cameras To Spot Cheats (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    To make sure they are doing enough drugs?

  12. It is true in a round about way. If the woman won in a high Court it could cause thousands more people to litigate. Cheaper to pay The 10k than risk.

  13. great idea on Google Ponders About a Chromebook Pro (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Let us edit videos, run photoshop and run the Unix command like and it would make a lot of developers happy.

  14. Correct although think it's unfair to single out any megacorp for being a dickhead. They are all bad.

  15. Re: Can we say expensive? on WiFi-Connected Hard Drive Fits a Plex Server In Your Pocket (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Works well, but I'd like something that can stream to my kids tablets in the back of the car and such. Looking for something like this now.

  16. For some reason my bank only does paper statements so it could be 45 days before I see who bought what on my card. They are quick at doing chargebacks though.

  17. Battery juice on 'Headphone Jacks Are the New Floppy Drives' (daringfireball.net) · · Score: 1

    I wonder how much extra juice will be needed to run Bluetooth all the time.

  18. Re: Huh... on Apple Explains Why iMessage Isn't Coming To Android (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Most apple tablets (iPads) don't have cellular radios either. Most of the time tablet users are on wifi anyway, and messaging should work regardless of network or device vendor.

  19. Fair enough. Take corner grocery guy who buys 150k worth of goods, but thanks to big box store shoppers these days can't charge a lot of markup, he only brings in 151,000 per year...

  20. Think for a moment what that really means. Let's say I have a small software company with two employees each earning $75,000, that would make for 150k in deductions. Let's say my company only makes 151,000 per year. My income is only $1k per year. Without those deductions I would lose money to taxes and have to close my doors. There are a lot of companies in similar situations.

    Fly EMIRATES

  22. Re: Seawater or any salt water? on Scientists In Iceland Turn CO2 Into Stone (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    That sounds great, kill 3 birds with one stone. Sea level rise offset by building islands/mountains out of seawater, store the co2, and possibly use the waste from oil production.

  23. My new startup automatically creates picture perfect fake profiles over time to give to future employers, landlords etc.

  24. On the plus side, just think how much easier it will be for companies to sue you when you publish a negative review...

  25. Re:Pointless and Useless Speculation on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Or we could be the first that have evolved enough to communicate. I feel there's a pretty good chance of life out there, even if it's single-cell or similarly evolved.
