  1. Re:I can see it now.. on Facebook Reaches Its Natural Conclusion As A Dating App (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    Facepalm is probably the main dating service they use.

  2. Elon's Roadster on NASA To Send 1 Million People's Names To the Sun (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    They should toss out a grappling hook and yank the capsule with Elon's Tesla Roadster in it along for the ride to the sun.

  3. Re:You're right about him not being king on California Leads States In Suing the EPA For Attacking Vehicle Emissions Standards (theverge.com) · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Obama was famous for overstepping bounds.

    He issued a record number of Executive Orders, which is highly corrosive to the balance of powers in the US Government.

  4. Re:Make cars more expensive on California Leads States In Suing the EPA For Attacking Vehicle Emissions Standards (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    No, just the 'too expensive' suffices.

    What. The. Fuck.

    Why have cars gotten so expensive?

  5. I have taken apart compact fluorescent bulbs. That plastic housing at the base? It has a printed circuit board, electrolytic capacitors and semiconductors in it. Compared the disposal impact of an incandescent bulb, which is glass, some wire and a bit of brass...

    It's a good thing that we have mostly switched to LED bulbs, although they, too, have issues.

  6. You can install an unsupported OS on certain Apple hardware that makes the cooling fans run at full tilt all the time, because the unsupported OS doesn't manage the cooling system the way Apple's designers expected. The hardware doesn't find itself being managed so it goes to the safe default of full-bore maximum cooling.

  7. Re: Cheating is stupid on Some YouTube Stars Are Being Paid To Sell Academic Cheating (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, I doubt if any of the 'cheat' services could provide material to cheat at engineering courses. Sure, we all see the obvious requests for 'help on a project' in programming and embedded design forums where the asker is looking for somebody to hand them a turnkey solution, but that's not the same thing.

  8. Re: Private company on YouTube Is Removing Some Nootropics Channels (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Definitely. And we can discuss their practices, loudly, wherever we wish.

  9. They didn't buy the books. They coaxed lots of libraries to let them and their sheetfeeders in. 'Those books are just going to waste on those shelves.'

  10. Re: I knew this day would come on WhatsApp Founder Plans To Leave After Broad Clashes With Parent Facebook (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    The capitalization is done wrong. But they probably had to do that. WhatSapp would sign up for a social networking service that was open about what it was?

  11. So is this another project like Google's, to rip the covers and bindings off everything in sight, toss it all in a sheetfeeder to make sub-optimal scans and then pulp it all?

  12. Re: Same scam, different day on Senate Democrats Plan To Force Vote On Net Neutrality (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    You have a terrible reading comprehension problem.

    Hell, I'm probably just responding to a crapflooder.

  13. Re: Since there is a word "restore" there on Senate Democrats Plan To Force Vote On Net Neutrality (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually, unless you are very, very careful, if you 'restore' an antique you destroy it's value entirely. The original varnish on an antique chair is very important. There is a 'patina' that is a big part of what matters to people who care about antiques. Usually all you can do is apply furniture polish, and it had better be a type of the period of the antique.

  14. Re: Etsy AND Foursquare? on 'Red Alert' Protest For Net Neutrality Starts May 9 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    A big splash page is anticipated at AltaVista. Fire up your Hotmail and spam all your friends about the issue.

  15. Re: exercise in futility on 'Red Alert' Protest For Net Neutrality Starts May 9 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    (It was her turn)

    I remember when it was Bob Dole's turn. Worked out about the same.

  16. Re: We all know how useful virtue signaling is! on 'Red Alert' Protest For Net Neutrality Starts May 9 (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    A big noisy protest is needed, otherwise people might not notice anything has changed with the Internet.

  17. Re:Exactly? Umm, no. on Digital and Analog Audio's Curious Coexistence (cnet.com) · · Score: 0

    In the digital domain, a 'square wave' can be reproduced from a ten hertz sampling. The timing will probably be off, but the edges will be at a right angle.

    Stop being a dork.

  18. My garbage is picked up by a small company that only has one truck. It is a husband and wife company, so it's always one or the other of them that cimes by with the truck. I am usually not home then, but it has been the woman more than once.

  19. Re:...or a force for good on Google Cofounder Sergey Brin Warns of AI's Dark Side (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    And a number of corporations, through inaction of various forms, have caused many multiples of people using their products to die.

    Said people have a lot of the AI technology all locked up in patents they own or control. If we 'slow down the research' a lot, they can sit on their portfolio and rake in the cash.

    Doesn't the whole planet of people die of an epidemic that started with a dirty telephone handset, though??

  23. Cameron has 'arrived' and now it is important for him to diversify the field of others who will be joining him at the pinnacle of success. Or something of that nature.

  24. Re:waste of money on Great Barrier Reef Gets $379 Million Boost After Coral Dies Off (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    $379 towards nuclear power would pay for (part of) the environmental impact litigation for one plant. In other words, it would all go to lawyers.

    They already get enough.

    US money is plenty rugged. It's mostly cotton fiber. I have inadvertently run currency through the washing machine. It always comes out intact, often even cleaner.
