moheeb··on OVH has been compromised
"People need to understand that millions of dollars of easily disposed of goods are worth killing people for."

If this were my site you would be banned.

moheeb··on Thirty Women In Tech Below Thirty
Damn I was hoping they were all named Helen.
moheeb··on #ifihadglass I would jailbreak it and modify the software
I don't believe that anyone truly enjoys driving. If that were the case I could say "I need a ride to North Dakota" and someone would totally be like "yeah I love driving, hop in!"

That never happens. People that love surfing will surf at every opportunity you give them, people that love eating will eat nearly anything you put in front of them. People that love driving.....well I need a ride to North Dakota.

moheeb··on 60W equivalent LED bulb uses 9.5W and costs $13
That is something I've never understood...how can the Canadian dollar be worth 2% more when prices are nearly always much higher in Canada?
moheeb··on Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail Released
Why post something like this? I don't get it. He stated what he did to fix the problem and it apparently worked.

So his recommendation is proven to work and yours is....?

moheeb··on What happened to Japan's electronic giants?
I find that type of stuff fascinating. I wonder what they think of our movie pricing (cheaper during the day)?
moheeb··on News is bad for you – and giving up reading it will make you happier
What I do is not follow news of any sort. Then a few years later I realize I am still alive...must not have been important!
moheeb··on My Startup Failed. Fuck.
This will probably seem obvious afterwards...but if you sign a contract with someone to provide a good or service for $0 and then fail to do so, that could be considered fraud.
moheeb··on Bitcoins Are Digital Collectibles, Not Real Money
...all the attention and people buying it hoping it will increase in value is exposing a lot of people to it that otherwise wouldn't have been. It's helping it grow much faster.

I feel like the same thing happened with Beanie Babies. Look where they are now. Is that a good thing?

moheeb··on Why Redfin, Zillow, and Trulia Haven't Killed Off Real Estate Brokers
Nearly every dog does "bite-hold-shake".
moheeb··on Poll: What is your age?
You are now 1/3rd of the discussion and I find it interesting! Looks like you don't decide anything anymore!
moheeb··on FBI wants real-time Gmail, Dropbox spying power
Yes. In case you're unaware this is currently possible.
moheeb··on FBI wants real-time Gmail, Dropbox spying power
This is a very good point. You're still putting locks on your doors, but those locks aren't going to stop the SWAT team.
moheeb··on Issue 224182 - chromium - Chrome wakes me up in the middle of the night
A Windows Update restart will restore applications running at the time of the restart. It generally does a pretty good job of it too.
moheeb··on Snapshot: Viaweb, June 1998
He just stated what his mileage was. Why would it vary?
moheeb··on Visualizing the relationship between hipsters and PBR
They'll all be drinking Old Milwaukee in a couple years.
moheeb··on It’s the Sugar, Folks
Your quote is from the caption, the actual article gives no indication of caloric intake.

More importantly, you are just repeating the line that high fructose corn syrup causes more weight gain. So what? There is no indication that this is a bad thing.

moheeb··on Antibiotic resistance 'a time-bomb'
No, you're incorrect. Reducing the human population density would decrease meat consumption, which would decrease cattle population density, which would decrease anti-bacterial consumption.
moheeb··on It’s the Sugar, Folks
That study doesn't say anything as to whether high-fructose corn syrup is unhealthier than regular syrup. That study's only claim is that mice gain more weight if they eat high-fructose corn syrup compared to normal syrup. I think they could have probably counted the calories within each sample and saved everyone a lot of time.

And who's to say additional weight gain is bad for those mice? Mammals in a cold climate might appreciate the additional weight gain.

moheeb··on Google Glass
This is one of the funniest things I've ever read here! Nicely done.

moheeb··on DuckDuckGo Architecture - 1 Million Deep Searches a Day and Growing
Well DuckDuckGo searches their own stock and then points you towards google for anything DuckDuckGo doesn't have in stock. Google should be paying them commission, if anything.
moheeb··on Former Microsoft executive says Ballmer culls internal rivals to retain power
"Turns MS around" into what? Failure?

Microsoft seems like a successful company to me. I don't get it.

moheeb··on A close look at how Oracle installs deceptive software with Java updates
My Ubuntu installations whine about updates constantly...so it's not just Microsoft. Annoying, none the less.
moheeb··on Republican staffer who was fired for copyright memo talks to Ars Technica
Nobody ever tell me what small government is. Does that mean no roads and schools? Smaller police departments? No libraries? I have no idea.

To me those words (small government) mean "shady politician". How about a definition?

moheeb··on Republican staffer who was fired for copyright memo talks to Ars Technica
It doesn't matter how big the tech sector is. The influence that Hollywood yields is much greater.

The apple orchard might bring in more revenue than selling newspapers...but the newspaper has more influence over the population.

moheeb··on Migrate Your Instagram Photos to Flickr in One Click.
I don't intend to sound snarky...but professional and serious amateur photographers use Instagram?! For what?

Is there more to the service than meets the eye? (Never used it myself)

moheeb··on Facebook Users Must Be Allowed To Use Pseudonyms, Says German Privacy Regulator
How is that obvious?
moheeb··on Facebook Users Must Be Allowed To Use Pseudonyms, Says German Privacy Regulator
They don't decide who you are...you tell them.
moheeb··on How to Download Your Instagram Photos and Kill Your Account
Seems like most of them are not smart enough to realize this.
moheeb··on The Web We Lost
If "giving up" seems un-Google-like to you then you haven't been around very long.

The number of services, applications, and ideas they have shut down is probably nearing the hundreds.
