  1. hard to believe Oracle = smartphones on Oracle Tells Supreme Court Google Copyright Breach Knocked It Out Of Smartphone Market (crn.com) · · Score: 1

    for instance, how's it going to work putting an antenna on a SunServer and carrying it on the bus to talk to your significant other.

  2. HasBen Carson levies a fine? on Housing Department Slaps Facebook With Discrimination Charge (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    I thought his job was to open doors to schnooks and hide regulations. geez, Bizarro Thursday.

  3. News Item: 1950 Peugot Truck Passes 10 Audis on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    on the Autobahn.

  4. sounds like too much backroom work on Telegram Adds 'Delete Everywhere' Nuclear Option -- Killing Chat History (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    how about delete all Telegram infrastructure with two taps?

  5. so just bail on EU countries, then, Google on EU Expected To Hit Google with Another Massive Antitrust Fine (fortune.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    honestly, this is not a cost of doing business. block access to EU countries. see what happens.

  6. Prior Art Exists.... on Vizio Wants Next-Generation Smart TVs To Target Ads To Households (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    like, for instance, all commercial TV broadcasting...

  7. I don't think I can handle any more pie.

  8. power, frequency, distance on Portland City Council May Ask FCC To Investigate Health Risks of 5G Networks (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    the live-in TV transmitter engineers (in early days of TV, the transmitter engineers were housed at the tower site and had beds in the transmitter building because, tech infancy) pretty much died of brain cancer. but the power, frequency, distance rules of the FCC on radiation safety have changed, and it's not an issue now. obey and carry on.

  9. I call BS on that city council on Portland City Council May Ask FCC To Investigate Health Risks of 5G Networks (inverse.com) · · Score: 1

    provided the RF density rules of the FCC are followed (power, frequency, distance) there is no demonstrated ill effects at all, whatsoever. the only ones at risk with 5G are folks in a safety harness way up the tower.

    if you are going to be an idiot, and stand at a powered antenna staring down the waveguide, yeah, you win the Darwin award. that has been known for almost a century.

  10. did anybody check those cords? on US Tech Firms Fear China Could Be Spying On Them Using Power Cords, Report Says (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    the bump could be a ferrite. it could be a tap. easy enough to cut off the insulation on X number of cords and see what's there. or soak them in methylene chloride for a while.

  11. in the US, tweets = security failure on Machine Learning Can Use Tweets To Spot Critical Security Flaws (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    at least regarding the Chief Birdplop

    with a trace of IBM Model 10 cardpunch ribbon on the high note

  13. yep, fsck 'em on Google Considering Pulling News Service From Europe (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I can see blocking service from pinhead weasels like the EU. they don't want any accidental usage, shut 'em down. Google News is not free... it's ad-driven. and even use of a US trademark legally in an ad that might be otherwise registered in the EU, like, say, Budweiser, is cause for big-ass unrelated fines. fsck 'em.

  14. data correct, conclusion faulty on Hospital Prices Are About To Go Public in the US (ajc.com) · · Score: 1

    a significant percentage of people are not going to save for a $1.5 million cancer procedure. an $80,000 stent to stop a heart attack and follow=up care. like, say, everybody.

    what we need is a single-payer health system, which has been proven in every other industrialized country to save money and deliver more services to all who need them.

  15. what part of "don't be evil" did the C-suite forget about?

  16. presently a K740 Logitech on Ask Slashdot: What Kind of Keyboard Do You Use With Your Computer and Why? · · Score: 1

    wired, mechanical, soft touch almost like a Selectric II, and backlit. the keyboard the company provided with out new HP laptops was almost as bad as the one on the Atari 400.

  17. kwitcherbitchin, a dead app is a secure app. all hail Microsoft ;)

  18. Guests should not piss in the punchbowl on WikiLeaks Founder Julian Assange Sues Ecuador For 'Violating His Rights' (sky.com) · · Score: 1

    which is what Assange is doing. Ecuador kept his butt out of jail as an asylum seeking guest. well, governments change, and wot ya know, they're tired of him. at least he hasn't been kicked out yet. keep this up, it will happen. he will meet the Crown, and best have a good lawyer with him to get mere deportation.

  19. sure, states can indirectly regulate on Internet Provider Groups Sue Vermont Over Net Neutrality Law (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    they do it all the time... regulate pricing policy by accepting low bids, for instance. it all depends on what is, is. and they certainly can pass new regulations whenever they want. ask any contractor who didn't keep up with the state or local codes.

  20. uh, no. just, no. on Facebook Plans Camera-Equipped TV Device, Report Says (cheddar.com) · · Score: 1

    spy machine that gets hacked as soon as it's hooked up? uh, no.

  21. records are. record is.

  22. same argument used by automakers on emissions on Entire Broadband Industry Sues California To Stop Net Neutrality Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    and we know how well that worked for them. besides, the FCC deregulated the Internet, so they don't have jurisdiction over it any more. this is now the silo of the Federal Trade Commission if they care to blow their budget chasing the rabbit.

  23. you would think the amount of cord-cutting would get more multicast video streaming on the net....

  24. Re:Censor what WE say is unacceptable ... on EU To Give Internet Firms 1 Hour To Remove Extremist Content (go.com) · · Score: 2

    so, suspend service to EU IP addresses and see if they care enough to reason their way out of a paper bag.

  25. so, two Internets on The EU Could Vote To Wreck the Internet Tomorrow (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    one for the EU, one for everybody else. let the EU built the filters on their own dime, or just pull out.
