  1. Re: And the problem is? on Self-Driving Features Could Lead To More Sex In Moving Cars, Expert Warns (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Well, it is the definition of //public// indecency. Might be interesting in the odd state that regards vehicles as an extension of private property... What a wonderful time to be alive!

  2. Re: Bring back a large screen model on Amazon Kindle Oasis With 'Months' of Battery Life, Redesigned Body Launched · · Score: 1

    Reference "book"? You mean the things that are basically out of date by the time they're printed, warranting in some cases yearly revisions to account for inaccuracies or changes in the product in question? If only there were a series of pneumatic tubes that were connected to one another spanning the world... Sort of an intertube web... Where you could ask someone for up to the minute data on anything... But alas, that is but a pipe dream.

  3. Re: Semantics on Bill Nye: Climate Change Denial Is 'Running Out of Steam,' Thanks To Millennials (mic.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "Scientists" say the ship is sinking. Then why is my end 200 feet in the air?

  4. Logical fallacy on Lasers Could Hide Us From Evil Aliens (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that while this may be necessary over a single day from a single identified star, there are more than 2 stars in the universe (citation needed). And we are talking about shining directed light on the opposite side of our planet near continuously at a variety of angles, exponentially increasing the power requirements to effectively hide. This also assumes casting more light directionally wouldn't also cause greater attention due to the whole 3 dimensional nature of this problem.

  5. Re: 4chan trolling? on Microsoft's 'Teen Girl' AI Experiment Becomes a 'Neo-Nazi Sex Robot' · · Score: 5, Funny

    Come on, they made a teen girl who says mean things intermixed with long sullen silences. They nailed it.

  6. Re: in an attempt to explain this to others.... on More Devs Now Use OS X Than Linux, Says Survey (9to5mac.com) · · Score: 2

    That's like saying "if you remove all people who drink alcohol from the study, we'd have no alcoholics".

  7. Re: R and D on Dell Bringing Thunderbolt 3 USB-C Support To Linux · · Score: 3, Funny

    Nope, just Marketing around Intel's R&D Efforts.

  8. You know who else is covering their tracks? on N. Carolina Senator Drafting Bill To Criminalize Apple's Refusal To Aid Decryption (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

  9. Re: In related news: Steam on Microsoft Plans To Make Windows 10, Xbox One Game "Crossbuys" A Habit (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Here's what people need to remember... If a studio releases a title for PlayStation 4, they're basically there on a Linux port. They just need a market to justify the QA effort and an assertion that engaging in that QA effort would lead to increased sales over remaining on a more limited number of platforms.

  10. Re: Now... on Comets Can't Explain Weird 'Alien Megastructure' Star After All (newscientist.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Our star loses one billion kilograms per second... While that may sound like a lot... It's still only an earth mass every 150 million years. The math doesn't work out. Additional matter would need to come from somewhere.

  11. Re: But we STILL haven't seen how it actually look on Microsoft Leaks New HoloLens Details (mashable.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Field of View has been stated as "equivalent of a 15" monitor at 2 feet". Ergo, quite small. Immersive, it is not.

    The OP was making a reference to Iron Sky.

    They have employees? Lots and lots of employees? And, Canadian Nationalism... But mostly employees.

    It's called "Pretty Good Privacy".

  15. Re: On the one hand ... on Teen Hacks US Intelligence Chief's Personal Accounts (vice.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is it a trumped up charge to compromise the security of a third party's computer systems, let alone update billing records, let alone causing increased realized financial expense to said party? Even if they strictly followed the letter of the law, wire fraud and illegitimate use of a computer system, if not felony hacking.

    You mean like "touch your finger to this little fingerprint reader to say 'I'm me doing this?' Instead of type your alphanumeric string?" That they do for absolutely everything after you type your password literally once on turn-on?

    Sadly, no busty brunettes in short pleated skirts were also present. Just lots and lots of Seamen.

    Or made a facetious argument about capitalism in politics where they should keep our government in it's back pocket.

    So he forgot a comma, big whoop! Volkswagen showed they can lie and cheat with the best politicians on Capitol Hill. Let them keep the money, then our government.
