  1. Kids on How Millions of Iranians Are Evading Internet Censors (msn.com) · · Score: 2

    How can they protect the Iranian children if they keep challenging attempts to do so?

  2. Re:Crypto's on Warren Buffett Predicts 'Bad Ending' for Cryptocurrencies (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but how often do you see new currencies springing up on a daily basis?
    Cryptos on the other hand....

  3. Re:Why did it take 40 minutes to correct? on Fake 'Inbound Missile' Alert Sent To Every Cellphone in Hawaii (chicagotribune.com) · · Score: 2

    You've got to inform the guy with the massive button so he knows it's fake, so naturally you send a tweet.
    After that you can update all the plebs.

  4. Full Pockets on Future Samsung Phones Will Have a Working FM Radio Chip (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 2

    This would be really handy. If I want to listen to the radio commentary at my local sporting games, the streaming services are 30 - 60 seconds delayed.
    They force non-commercial broadcasters to route through their app if they want to stream, but delay it so you can't stream it "live" and commercial-free over the top of the TV broadcast.

    But the AM/FM broadcasts are instantaneous, so I always have a pocket AM/FM radio with me at the game.
    Carrying one less thing would suit me fine.

  5. Re:"Crypto" as an abbreviation for cryptocurrency. on A Crypto Website Changes Its Data, and $100 Billion in Market Value Vanishes (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Well if you've got a better use for that abbreviation, I'd like to hear it!

  6. Can't remember the name! on Can Mesh Networks Save a Dying Web? (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    I heard about this giant, world-wide mesh network once, but I've forgotten what it was called.

  7. Re: Mythbusters on The Orange Goo Used In Everything From Armor To Football Helmets (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I forgot that how I look is why I snowboard. Thanks for reminding me of how shallow I didn't know I was, and that I should keep friends who think this way.
    Also, search for a "tail saver".

  8. Googlers on Google Loses Up to 250 Bikes a Week (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait... do I become a 'Googler' if I google, or is that title reserved for employees?

  9. Re:Stopped at traffic lights = IN TRAFFIC on Your Car May Soon Start Serving You Ads (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Making people angry before driving is not going to make the roads any safer.

    Am I the only one who fires up an online video, and if a 15 second ad comes on before it, I think "I didn't actually want to watch it that badly", and close the video within 2 seconds.

  10. Re:Mythbusters on The Orange Goo Used In Everything From Armor To Football Helmets (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    I used some similar padded shorts to protect me while snowboarding, but they didn't do what I wanted.
    The material hardens, but provides zero cushioning. It's probably going to stop something going through your skin, but I could have used a pillow to protect better against pain.

  11. Maybe they switched their Ethernet cables for low-fidelity cables, or ran them straight along the ground instead of on an elevated platform.

    They could have had them plugged in backwards. It takes a qualified audio technician to hear and identify the optimum cable directionality.

  12. I hacked your PC and inserted some bold text do test this vulnerability. Are you by chance running an Intel processor?

  13. Good thing they clarified who ARM are by referencing a group I have vaguely heard of once or twice.

  14. Never mind, the TSA staff have cut your lock off. They're going through your underwear as we speak.

  15. Standard? This is my Bitcoin wallet key. I'm ruined!

  16. Neutral Networking on Ajit Pai Backs Out of Planned CES 2018 Appearance (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course he's cancelled. He won't be able to do neutral networking amount such a biased crowd.

  17. Re:The World's First 88-inch 8K OLED Display .... on The World's First 88-inch 8K OLED Display (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    4K is enough

    I'm pretty sure you're meant to add "for anyone" to the end of that phrase.

  18. With the Truth? on Slashdot Asks: How Should Apple Have Responded To the Battery Controversy? · · Score: 0

    Maybe they should have responded with... um... hmmm... the truth, perhaps?

  19. Not fake news, it was an alternative fact posted on his Twitter account by his lawyer's uncle. Can't prove it wasn't!

    Drain the pond.
    Build the fence.
    Etc.

  20. My, my. He does tweet a lot.

  21. Re:They're cutting WHAT? on Analysts Cut iPhone X Shipment Forecasts, Citing Lukewarm Demand (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    But hopefully Apple have ears.

  22. They're cutting WHAT? on Analysts Cut iPhone X Shipment Forecasts, Citing Lukewarm Demand (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Are they really cutting the forecast rather than simply cutting the price?!

  23. App Rating on Facebook To Demote Posts That Ask For 'Likes' Or Shares (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Is it just me, or do some apps ask you how you like their software, and then only forward you to the App Store for an "official" vote if you select a high rating?

  24. Nope on Can Intel's 'Management Engine' Be Repurposed? · · Score: 2

    Nope, the NSA have it completely secured to prevent anyone from stopping it mining Bitcoins.

  25. This is the End on Google Reveals the Most-Trending Searches of 2017 (google.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow, this year finished a little earlier than the last.
