  1. Ayup, the pussy statements put Trump right up there with Prez Kennedy.

  2. Re:Pack it up in a shipping container on Greenland Is Very Mad About the Toxic Waste the US Left Buried Under Its Ice (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    A shipping container? Dude, it is Greenland. They can calve the waste into an ice berg and send it down the coast by itself.

    They may fart in your general direction. Radio active wale blubber farts. You better run.

  4. Well, apparently it is a threat to a block of ice, some activists and reporters. Maybe we should send more activists and reporters there and just forget to go and get them again.

  5. Half a mile is nothing on Russia Builds Microwave Weapon To Take Down Enemy Drones (thestack.com) · · Score: 2

    This Blighter/Evenlode combo is much more interesting: http://www.blighter.com/news/p...

  6. Re:Yep. 4.0 signalled its death knell on KDE Turns 20, Happy Birthday! (softpedia.com) · · Score: 2

    I use KDE every day on a Lenovo laptop - for business use - and it is fine. Better than anything else. I like my wobbly windows and cube.

  7. Re:cool link on Samsung Permanently Discontinues Galaxy Note 7 (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    So they are only burning in the US? In the rest of world people know not to step on their phones, bend or drop them or hammer them with stones?

  8. Re:Would just make me leave faster on Yahoo Disables Automatic Email Forwarding Feature, Making It Difficult For Users To Leave (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They broke forwarding a long time ago already. Shortly after I finally managed to convince the missus to leave for greener pastures. Just in time.

  9. 11 hours of video on Baltimore Police Took 1 Million Surveillance Photos of City (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow at 25 fps that is 11 hours of video. They were seriously ripped off.

  10. Now, all the MBAs will think they can do CAD.

  11. Re:Poland Builds a Solar-Powered Bike Path That Gl on Poland Builds a Solar-Powered Bike Path That Glows Blue At Night (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    This is Europe, not California. Europeans know not to lick the bicycle paths.

    Well, in Europe, people and animals are actually used to street lights. This is not the DPRK.

  13. Re:Interesting idea, but not safe on its own on Poland Builds a Solar-Powered Bike Path That Glows Blue At Night (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    This is Poland, not America. People are generally safe in Poland and the police knows what a cell phone is and won't shoot you when you pull one out of your pocket.

  14. No, encryption is not a sword. Encryption is chain mail. Encryption is a passive defensive bulwark. Encryption protects you against people with swords.

  15. Too many useless managers on Google Rebrands 'Apps for Work' To 'G Suite,' Adds New Features (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 2

    Rebranding is a symptom of too many useless and bored managers in the marketing department.

    Lemme guess... You remember that number because you had to re-install your machine with Windows ME and Office2000 so many times?

    Uhmm... Hi Johan, since you now published your address, I got to ask: Is your car burning yet?

    This is VAT. Everybody pays VAT. Rich and poor. I know, that is a foreign concept to an American, but Sweden is not in America.

  24. American washers are easily repairable on From Bicycles To Washing Machines: Sweden To Give Tax Breaks For Repairs (mnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The 'old fashioned' big American GE washers and dryers are easily repairable. After 15 years of use, I ordered two 'overhaul kits' for a few dollars and installation took about 30 minutes, after which they were good for another 15 years. The overhaul kits contain all the washers, seals, rollers, belts and whatnot that always wears out and a detailed booklet on how to install it, complete with warnings about: Don't do this, since you may cut your fingers. The Chinese/Korean stuff you can't repair even if you can find the parts, because it is usually a clip on one time assembly or spot welded so it breaks when you try to take it apart.
