  1. wrong website on Ransomware Hits UK Website, Defaces Homepage · · Score: 1

    They were probably targeting the BBC for pulling Dr Who off of Netflix and Hulu. "Give us back the Tardis or K-9 gets it!"

  2. It's like carpet bombing ourselves on Hackers Leak List of FBI Employees (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I'm not a big fan of government, or cops, or government cops, and I'd wear a tinfoil hat if I could afford the tinfoil, but releasing a blanket list of 20,000 employees seems more evil than good. I'd like to think that at least 20-30% of the people who work for the FBI aren't evil - maybe 10-15% for the NSA - and those people shouldn't all have their names and emails released on a stolen list. Go after the corrupt ones, post pictures of their illegal affairs and taking money under the table, wiretap their homes and release tapes of them talking about the 47%, but I'm not ready to lump them all together as evil and make a list for some psycho to use as target practice.

  3. First, deport all the Canadians on Marco Rubio Wants To Permanently Extend NSA Mass Surveillance (nationaljournal.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Rubio has a bigger issue with immigrants from Canada than he does the middle east right now.

  4. Can it get me Doctor Who? on Torrents Time Lets Anyone Launch Their Own Web Version of Popcorn Time · · Score: 1

    Doctor Who leaving both Netflix and Hulu (Plus) this week has my family discussing piracy. I'd rather not, and we're going to wait a few moths to see what's what with the possible BBC streaming channel since the new season of Dr. Who doesn't start until 2017 so we have time.

  5. Somebody call the Dollhouse on Six Missing HDDs Contain Health Information of Nearly a Million Patients (corporate-ir.net) · · Score: 1

    Get Echo on the job, she'll find them in no time. Unless Alpha took them, then you're all screwed.

  6. No Wii U or 3DS either on Amazon Follows Through: Drops Apple TV, Chromecast · · Score: 1

    Amazon sells both the PS4 and Xbox One but not the Wii U, maybe Nintendo should sue them? I really don't see how Amazon should be required by law to sell any device it doesn't want to. I don't see any violation of race, religion or sexual orientation or age or anything else, it' just electronics. Target stopped selling Amazon Fire tablets a couple of years ago, don't recall anybody getting their panties in a bunch.

  7. Re: I'm surprised on Berkeley Breathed Revives Bloom County Comic Strip After 25 Years · · Score: 1

    Acck was the first thing I thought of, followed by Bill the Cat, then Bill the Cat for President. Which is probably why he's coming back, to lampoon 16 GOP candidates. The only question is whos the candidate and who's the running mate between Bill and Opus.

  8. Pokemon? on Newly Discovered Sea Creature Was Once the Largest Animal On Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    That artwork is straight out of the Pokedex, maybe an ice type?

  9. Well that might explain it on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    I'd been using uTorrent for about a year or 2 now but the past few weekso the downloads have been super slow, regardless of the number of seeders leechers, time of day, anything, that made sense. This might make sense. And how many Chinese and Russian women do I really need to date anyway? Thanks to all the suggestions, I'll uninstall and try qbittorrent on Monday.

  10. One trick pony is not the way to go on Why Sony Should Ditch Everything But the PlayStation · · Score: 1

    PS4 as an emphasis and dropping the Vita and PS TV may be a good idea, but focusing the whole company on videogames seems like a good idea only to people who have never heard of Atari, Commodore 64, 3DO or any of the other failed company in the videogame business.

  11. I'm no expert on Demonii Tracker Tops 30 Million Connected Peers · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure what the difference is between these trackers and Kick@ss and TPB, or clicking on the little magnet as opposed to all the other options, but I hope somebody is monitoring the before and after effect of Time Warners upcoming HBO Go Solo or whatever they'll be calling the stand alone service. Should be interesting to see if anybody decides to pay for GoT. Of course I'm sure it will be US only so the rest of the world will still be getting GoT by any means necessary. Just hope it comes online before April 12.

  12. Re:Auto Update on LibreOffice Gets a Streamlined Makeover With 4.4 Release · · Score: 1

    Not only that, when I checked for updates it rbought me to the download page for 4.3.5, no even 4.4. They shouldn't even call it an "update", they should call it a "new version" b/c you always have to download an entire new version. But I do, b/c it's free.

  13. Re:Not underwhelms, a little off predicted target. on "Mammoth Snow Storm" Underwhelms · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Western Suffolk. Just spent over an hour shoveling over a foot of snow out of my driveway. The whiners can SHOVE IT, WE GOT OUR FREAKIN' BLIZZARD. A huge monstrous storm did exactly what they said, but it was 35 miles east of where they said. A storm that was probably over 300 miles long and 75 miles wide barely missed it's target. It was real, it happened, it's still happening in New England Tuesday afternoon. Landfall was a little off, that's it, not underwhelming, not a conspiracy, a little off the predicted model tract.

  14. Re:LOL! Firefox has 10% of the market! on Firefox Signs Five-Year Deal With Yahoo, Drops Google as Default Search Engine · · Score: 1

    Been using Dolphin for 3 years on my Tab 2 and Tab 4, Chrome never worked right for me though it's my PC browser on desktop, latop and Netbook. Yes, I still use my Asus EEE on occasion. The new Dolphin home screen stays put as well, why does Google have to keep shuffling everything, are they big LMFAO fans?

  15. Siri on a Stick on Amazon's Echo: a $200, Multi-Function, Audio-Centric Device · · Score: 1

    They really should have called this Siri on a Stick. Maybe SOS for short. Amazon SOS sounds better than Echo. What echo?

  16. Nintendo has never made a 1080p/60FPS game on Ubisoft Claims CPU Specs a Limiting Factor In Assassin's Creed Unity On Consoles · · Score: 2

    "Many Nintendo games run in 1080p and 60 frames/second on the Wii U" What are these many you speak of? There's 1, Rayman, which BTW isn't even made by Nintendo, which is 1080p/60FPS on all the home consoles. Mario Kart 8 is 720p/59 output at 1080p. WW HD was Bayonetta 2 is 720p and SSB U isn't even out yet so who knows what it'll be. I played the Bayonetta 2 demo today and it looked freakin' awesome regardless.

  17. Candy Crush Saga on the desktop!! on Android Apps Now Unofficially Able To Run On Any Major Desktop OS · · Score: 2

    So I can finally play Candy Crush on my PC ;-) Kidding aside, I wouldnt mind Angry Birds Epic on my PC, and wouldnt this make loads more money for companies like Gung Ho who were raking it in w/ Puzzle and Dragons and now can code once but have everyone with a PC spending money on their games? Seems like win-win to me, IF IF IF it works properly.

  18. Doesnt matter what they call it now... on Microsoft Killing Off Windows Phone Brand Name In Favor of Just Windows · · Score: 4, Funny

    Next week we'll all be running Microsoft Minecraft on our Minecraft Phones and using Minecraft Office.

  19. Stupid move, like buying Gamefreak in 1997 on Report: Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Studio For $2bn+ · · Score: 2

    Stupid Microsoft. Imagine if they tried to buy Gamefreak in 1996 after Pokemon Red and Green had already come out. What has Gamefreak done since 1996? Well besides Diamond and Pearl. And Ruby and Sapphire. And X and Y. And Black and White. Boy I would hate to have owned Gamefreak and the Pokemon license for 18 years. Who wants to keep track of all that money for 18 years?

  20. Re:Licenses on Report: Microsoft To Buy Minecraft Studio For $2bn+ · · Score: 2

    Thank goodness somebody gets it. Rovio's Angry Birds are everywhere, but Minecraft is going to stick with kids forever and ever as they are much more involved in the game world.

  21. finally over on The Hobbit: the Battle of Five Armies Trailer Released · · Score: 4, Funny

    So can I finally get my Lego Smaug now? I've been waiting 37 years for it.

  22. The US started this 2 years ago on For Now, UK Online Pirates Will Get 4 Warnings -- And That's It · · Score: 1

    This sounds a lot like the "copyright alert system" that ISPs and the MPAA and RIA started 2 years ago. You get an email form your ISP when you illegally download copies of Game of Thrones on bittorrent. Or so I've been told.

  23. All most people really need is on Comcast Predicts Usage Cap Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    enough for 4 episodes of Game of Thrones per month.

  24. Or for $6 and a bungie cord you could do this on For $20, Build a VR Headset For Your Smartphone · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Hasbro MY 3D Viewer has been out for about 3 years. No it doesn't connect to a PC bu it's wireless and 3D and works w/ your head motion, no LED required. Just add a bungie cord to strap it to your head for hands free motion. http://www.amazon.com/Hasbro-V...

  25. Sandman or Endless or Death or Rose or Barbie? on Neil Gaiman Confirms Movie Talks For Sandman, American Gods · · Score: 1

    No way no how can they make a Sandman movie covering 75 comics. so what storyline do they cover? Sandman's capture and subsequent freedom to start (Preludes and Nocturnes) would be the least interesting as all he does is whine. The Corinthian and his fellow serial killers (Doll's House) is worthy of it's own black comedy but would need to be done completely in black and white cartoon format like Sin City or Aeon Flux. A proper Death film could single handedly resurrect goth, but no way to do it properly. The witches in the apartment complex (Doll's House) are deserving of a faux documentary, but I see Depp as the Cuckcoo directed by Tim Burton and it's all turned into a bad Alice in Wonderland flick. I can't imagine any of the later storylines as a stand alone film. Rose has always been one of my favorites and I remember wanting to see a film about her staring Rose McGowan (who in her prime could also have played Death). Most important thing about a Sandman film, the least he's in it the better. A great character, but he's Rod Sterling in Twilight Zone.
