  1. Re:Even if it's wrong, it's right on Israeli 10th-Grader Discovers Elegant Geometry Theorem · · Score: 1

    Besides, give her a break -- after all, math *is* hard.

  2. Re:Not a big surprise... on Sorry, Indie Devs -- Pop Apps Are the Future of App Store (imore.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, I guess it's at least good for a laugh.

    Seriously, though, do you have a link to your stuff?

  3. Because that would be wrong on Obama: Government Can't Let Smartphones Be 'Black Boxes' (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    Obama thinks there should be at least some mechanism for getting access -- perhaps something like a partial white-box implementation. So it sounds like Obama's administration is more favor of a half-black box here.

  4. Re:Ownership vs. Renting on Some Root For a Tech Comeuppance In San Francisco · · Score: 1

    I hear at least one spot in Alabama has great connectivity.

  5. Happy International Women's Day, everyone?

  6. Re:Would this logic ever fly in the US? on Dutch Companies Not Allowed To Fitness-Track Their Employees (www.nu.nl) · · Score: 1

    Would it have been enforceable in NY?

  7. Re:from the not-so-bright department on Scuba Diver Survives Being Sucked Into Nuclear Plant (nydailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    I have my new go-to quote of profound wisdom. If it's ok to reuse, I promise to cite you when I pass it on.

  8. It's a circle of life kind of thing on Paperless Statements Not Always Best Choice, Says New Report · · Score: 1

    going paperless on multiple accounts will mean having that information scattered under different user names and passwords.

    Which is then collected again under one username and password.

  9. Re:Bill of Attainder on New Legislation Would Ban US Government From Purchasing Apple Products (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I think a "bill of attainder" has a different legal definition, though.

  10. Re:Nuclear weapons aren't the deterrent on Kim To N. Korean Military: Be Ready To Use Nuclear Weapons At Any Time (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Thank goodness we have our own Kim on our side to prevent this from becoming reality.

  11. Re:So what? on Aging Indian Point Reactor Shut Down By Bird Droppings (nypost.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    It was through either extremely poor luck or possibly supernatural intervention, that the streamer entered the plant through a small, unshielded thermal exhaust port which somehow led straight to the reactor core.

    It was definitely an architectural oversight; however, the automatic safeties caught the electrical overload and shut the plant down before catastrophic failure. *That* was a just matter of sound engineering practices.

  12. Gypsum? on Iraq's Mosul Dam Could Burst At Any Time (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 1

    The dam was built on what's effectively ... drywall? How do you fix something like that?

  13. Re:Should have been ... on FCC Complaints For the 2016 Primary Debates (muckrock.com) · · Score: 1

    Better yet, have him take on Ronda Rousey or Holly Holm. Ooh, tag-team!

  14. Re:To quote Admiral Akbar: on DoD Announces New Bug Bounty Program Called Hack the Pentagon (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should edit the announcement into the formal list.

  15. Re:This seems fairly reasonable. on People Will Follow a Robot In an Emergency - Even If It's Wrong (gatech.edu) · · Score: 1

    Also, I like robots. I don't want anything bad to happen to it.

    Seriously. I mean, that's what separates us from the robots in the first place!

  16. Not sure it has a proper name, or at least a human-pronounceable one.

  17. Re:Star Wars *spoilers* on Surge Pricing Arrives In Disney's Magic Kingdom Just in Time for Star Wars Opening · · Score: 2

    I think he came back from the dead. He wouldn't be the first carpenter impaled on a cross to do so. Here's hoping he's back for the sequel!

  18. Re:Some jobs will always be safe on Mercedes-Benz Swaps Robots For People On Assembly Lines (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Why can't we have both?

  19. Re:They Could Keep Up if not for... on Mercedes-Benz Swaps Robots For People On Assembly Lines (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    ...Marketing weenies.

    Wow, Mercedez-Benz is really branching out.

  20. Accusations are entirely unfounded on How Donald Trump Uses Twitter As a Weapon of Fear · · Score: 1

    On a cable television show, she criticized Donald J. Trump for skipping a debate in Iowa in late January and described him as a "bad debater."

    That's completely untrue. I saw and listened to him, and felt that he proved himself as a master in this area.

  21. It's so obvious! on Apple Is Not Such a Freedom Fighter In China (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple: Good morning, Apple Computer.
    Customer: Hello, we need certain data on one of our citizens who is one of your customers. Name of "Syed Rizwan Farook".
    Apple: And you are ...
    Customer: The FB-- uh, the MSS.

    Apple: We've transferred the information to your Tencent Weiyun inbox. Will there be anything else?
    Customer: No, thanks. Y'all have a good ... I mean, hold on ... ni shi wo de xiao ping guo.
    Apple: We strive to be. Let us know if you need more help, and thanks for calling!

  22. There's your problem on AT&T Sues Louisville Over Google Fiber (wdrb.com) · · Score: 1

    most recently, unamiously passed an ordinance

    There's your problem. If everybody agreed, AT&T would have a much harder time fighting this.

  23. Re:The Pen vs the Sword ... on ISIS Makes Direct Threats Against Mark Zuckerberg and Jack Dorsey (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Plus those people who have the friends with the swords, can use those pens to write some pretty big checks to their friends.

  24. I can't wait on New Research Shows You Can Grow Sperm In a Dish (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 2

    I, for one, welcome the new tidal wave of science fiction, social justice flamewars, and legislation that follows this. This is so promising, I may buy popcorn futures.

    Mz. Sheldon, your future has arrived.

  25. Or do you mean s/America/Arizona/ , possibly a couple times?
