• On the post: What Should We Do About Linking To Sites That Block People Using Ad Blockers?

  

  Angel ( profile ), 10 Mar, 2016 @ 09:58am

  I have to agree with those who say, link to them but denote that they are demanding ad views. Leave the choice to us, but make us aware.

  Tom Cotton: "Because that would be unsafe, than anyone could just walk in"

• On the post: FBI Director Claims That The World's Most Knowledgeable Cybersecurity Experts Are Not 'Fair Minded' About Encryption Backdoors

  

  Angel ( profile ), 22 May, 2015 @ 10:27am

  If I leave the back-door unlocked for my son who is working late, then by default I've weakened the security of my home. Why is that so easy to understand but software back-doors are completely incomprehensible for people?

• On the post: Police Chief Unable To Simply Do Nothing Over Reported Teen Sexting, Brings Child Porn Charges Against Four Minors

  

  Angel ( profile ), 02 Apr, 2015 @ 08:36am

  I saw this yesterday, it's seriously appalling. I can't believe they can't think of a better way to deal with these kids then charge them with something meant to protect children from being exploited by adults.

  Well at least they realized it before it was too late.

  Ok let me fix this for myself WHY DOESN'T TECHDIRT ALLOW COMMENT EDITING?!?!?!

  I was actually planning to by a fire tv until I learned that you could no longer root it. I don't want to have to forgo updates just to be rooted. So I guess Amazon doesn't need my money.

• On the post: Comcast, NBC Have Learned Little, Still Cling Tightly To Broken 'TV Everywhere' Mindset

  

  Angel ( profile ), 24 Dec, 2014 @ 09:25am

  As long as they insist on people having to pay for a cable package instead of an internet only package, things like this will remain dead.

• On the post: CBS Blames Netflix For Its Own Secrecy Over Streaming Video Numbers

  

  Angel ( profile ), 18 Dec, 2014 @ 07:50am

  That this requires a cable subscription to access it makes it a non-starter for pretty much any cord cutters.

  Looks like I'm better off getting a M8 Amlogic box.

• On the post: 5 Year Old Who Drew A Gun In Crayon Forced To Sign No-Suicide Contract With School

  Re: Who are these numbskull parents?

  The mother didn't know about he "contract" until after they had the child sign it.

  Angel ( profile ), 17 Oct, 2014 @ 07:10am

  As a mother, I would be seriously pissed off if I had to explain to my 5 year old what suicide is because some moron adult decided to breech the topic with them. I hope she sues the hell out of that school district. NO 5 YEAR OLD SHOULD EVEN KNOW WHAT SUICIDE IS!

• On the post: DailyDirt: Don't Eat Fat. Or Sugar. How About Just Less Of Everything?

  

  Angel ( profile ), 19 Sep, 2014 @ 05:17pm

  The husband and myself have been doing no more than 25 grams of carbs a day for the last 172 days. We've both lost over 30 lbs each, If I didn't already have other health issues I might have lost even more in that time. In any case cutting out carbs has really helped me clear up a whole host of symptoms I was dealing with due to graves disease. Even if I never lost another pound I would continue this lifestyle just for that reason alone.

• On the post: Supreme Court Uses The Bizarre 'Looks Like A Cable Duck' Test To Outlaw Aereo

  

  Angel ( profile ), 25 Jun, 2014 @ 10:06am

  Re: So It's A Cable System

  Honestly I would like to see aereo become the Worlds first Internet only "Cable" service. With features that most cable companies should have been offering a long time ago instead of trying to protect their out dated business models with lawsuits.
  
  On Demand everything, per channel subscriptions, available on multiple devices. This is something I would definitely pay for.
