To dubstep, with penises flapping around to the beat of the music!

Seriously, how is Yahoo still a thing, anyway? The last time they were actually useful was in the '90's!

as the nook reader is slightly better than the kindle reader on android.

That's the only thing I use it for. I rarely buy real books these days.

"Trusted Malware Suppliers"

You mean, like SONY?

No, I remember that Thufir drank the stuff, and the red lips were a trademark of the Mentat.

However, in the book, they drank it because they *BELIEVED* it helped (placebo effect). It was never explicitly stated that it did help.

My prius cost me $6000 used. There were $3000 used models available, but they were all Gen 1 and didn't have their battery packs replaced.

That's what over-the-air updates are for.

WTF do you need a /48 for? A /64 isn't big enough for you?

You want my credit card number? Just convince Neil Gaiman and Joss Whedon to have a netflix-exclusive video lovechild. Boom. Done. Don't need to know anything about it. Do this, and I'm sold.

Seems like those nice people did a pretty good job of keeping you away from the drop bears, based on the fact that you still seem to have all your entrails. Be easy for a drop bear to get a fella' as he's staggering back from the bar...

If they're going to be like that about it, how's about setting up a copyright-free car project that you could build down at the local makerspace? You could probably do something on the order of complexity of the Ariel Atom without too much difficulty, and pull in an engine from a local junkyard. If that's what it takes to own your own car in this day and age, the guys the automakers are cock-blocking are more than capable of coming up with the designs.

Clearly, the patent is for sticking a feather in one's hat.

Ah well as I said, my upload speeds to Youtube are ridiculous. I generate two or three skydiving videos a week and it used to take a couple hours to upload them all to youtube. I'll have to make a video of me uploading a video to Youtube, I guess...

I also had a problem, while on Comcast, where my computer waking up from hibernation would not be able to resolve DNS for several minutes. I'd be able to ping numeric IP addresses including Google's DNS servers, which I'd set the machine to use. But it would be several minutes before I could resolve names. That problem went away completely when I switched off Comcast.

So I'm getting gigabit speeds for $59 a month from an ISP that doesn't have the reputation for fuckery that your ISP probably does. Seems worth it to me.

Yeah, water in 30 years will be where gasoline is today. If it were 50 years ago, the country would just embark on a mega-scale water engineering project to move water between places where there is too much of it to places where there isn't enough of it. Don't see that happening in the current political climate, though. There's some sort of political warming process going on, in which the rhetoric is getting much too heated and causing all potential progress to grind to a halt...

I just picked up municipal fiber in Longmont, Colorado. The company has a page that lists a number of options you could use with their service. I went with the NetGear Nighthawk and am quite pleased with it. Most of the devices in my house are wireless, but I do have a couple of machines plugged into its wired ports and do get ludicrous speed with it. It's a pretty consistent 600 mbps up and down according to speedtest.net, and my one-to-two gigabyte skydiving videos upload to youtube faster than I can type the description of the jump.

She'll be elected because she is a woman. All past history will be swept under the rug.
