  1. Re:Yeah, that's impressive and all on An Amoeba-Based Computer Found Solutions To 8-City Traveling Salesman Problem (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    No, but it can create a one in the hospital system.

  2. Also known as the "original-price" model, and the "over-inflated-price-due-to-the-fact-we-have-two-models" model.

  3. Yeah, but they don't want suicides clogging the phone lines and blocking "actual" emergencies. That's what they're trying to say by creating a separate hotline.

  4. Re:It's not obvious how you get Office on Bing Recommends Piracy Tutorial When Searching For Office 2019 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    At the end of your rope, you then ask a search engine to find it

    You're only "at the end of your rope" once you've tried all the other search engines before being forced to use Bing.

  5. Re:More morality... on Porn Sites Collect More User Data Than Netflix Or Hulu (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow, I never new Facebook's negative morality score was enough to cancel Googles positive morality score when you combine them.
    Mathematics reveals interesting things when you use it like that!

  6. Wait... so they couldn't detect them? This is getting scary!

  7. Did this game ever really take off? Why are people still talking about it?

  8. Strange Coincidence? on Bitcoin Options Purchased for $1 Million Will Soon Be Worthless (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    So the options will soon be worth the same as Bitcoin?

  9. I want my refund!

  10. You don't pay the $10 for the music. You pay it for ad-free YouTube which also happens to give you the music app for free.

  11. Right... So the CIA can pilot your Tesla into a wall at high speed, but they can't stop the car of a sleeping driver?

  12. What's a PST table used for, and why is it a problem with Athlon laptops?

  13. Re:That water in the ocean? It may be wet! on That Virus Alert on Your Computer? Scammers in India May Be Behind It (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I have no idea how this story made it past the mods (if there are any).
    Sheeze, just take a look at all the videos on YouTube where people wast two hours or more of scammers' time, known as "scam baiting".

  14. OMG it's mooning right now and I'm hodl'n onto it for dear life.

  15. Randomisation on Rowhammer Attacks Can Now Bypass ECC Memory Protections (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

  16. Re:Blocking Back-To-Back Ads on YouTube is Testing Having Two Skippable Ads Back-To-Back (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Same for me I don't miss anything either. I love how YouTube saves it all so I can watch it later and not miss an episode. Hooray!

  22. 'My first job out of college was with IBM. I served a big-system apprenticeship there, but I think the thing that really triggered [my interest] was the introduction of the 8008 by Intel,' he said. 'I was fascinated that you could have that kind of capability in a little 18-pin package.'

    That's basically the same thing that got me excited about micros. Screw the big computer and $3,000 device board I can't afford. Give me the little, affordable $5 IC with some wires and a bread-board and let me experience something myself.

  23. Re:Good thing we know iPhone supports it on FCC Paves the Way For Improved GPS Accuracy (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The iPhone 8 was the first Apple product to support it. Other phone models from Huawei and Samsung support the system, too.

    Ha. I see what you're doing there. Trying to word it to sound like Apple had it first, while sticking to the truth. Well done.

  24. I'm confused. Isn't this simply non-net-neutrality?!

  25. Re:If at first you don't succeed, maybe ... on Vine's Successor Byte Launches Next Spring (theverge.com) · · Score: 1
