  1. Archive.org to the rescue? on HHS Plans To Delete 20 Years of Critical Medical Guidelines Next Week (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 2

    Is there any chance they will let the public sector copy this database before they just burn it along with all the books?

  2. Re:I am God's gift to you rotten bastards... apk on Only 39 Percent of Viewers Choose Live TV As Their Default Option, Says Study (deadline.com) · · Score: 1

    Woah, its like all the trolls just reached critical mass and started imploding upon themselves into a singularity!

  3. Re:How can we believe them? on China's Quantum Radar Could Detect Stealth Planes, Missiles (popsci.com) · · Score: 1

    Perhaps we are playing "Two Lies, One Truth?"

  4. Re:Invading privacy? on Malls In California Are Sending License Plate Information To ICE (theweek.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When you're a legal citizen, and then they inevitably also forward your data to a 3rd party consumer data broker to monetize it and track you without your consent, then that is an invasion of privacy.

  5. First? I call bullshit. on Chinese Scientists Have Developed the World's First Destructive Laser Rifle (popsci.com) · · Score: 1
  6. Bots are users too!

  7. Re:Deterrent for Invasion that will never happen on DOJ Reaches Settlement On Publication of Files About 3D Printed Firearms (joshblackman.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't worry. They'll simply line their pockets with the excess, or just move it over to the "offense" spending column.

  8. FALSE. Non-criminals go to the police stations to file reports all the time.

  9. God damnit AT&T. on AT&T Wants To Overhaul HBO, Says It Isn't Profitable Enough (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Overhaul your fucking network first. How come you can't provide more than 1 megabit of upload bandwidth even in the middle of the most densely-populated and theoretically profitable areas in the US? South Korea has 100 megabit synchronous fiber connections running to houses with dirt fucking floors! What the fuck is wrong with you assholes?

  10. Hackers steal 600 gallons of gas in Detroit... on Hackers Stole 600 Gallons of Gas From Detroit Gas Station, Report Says (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    ...then ironically don't use it to leave Detroit.

  11. scalability on Spiders Can Fly Hundreds of Miles Using Electricity (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm just wondering if this technology can be scaled up to something human-sized. Could this improve the efficiency of personal aircraft designs?

  12. Re:Where do they put the batteries? on Spiders Can Fly Hundreds of Miles Using Electricity (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    They're not using batteries. They're just pulling the electricity from the atmosphere directly, like the original Tesla intended. Not like the corporation usurping his name intends to do.

  13. Re:No "Spidernado"-movie was made, yet? on Spiders Can Fly Hundreds of Miles Using Electricity (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    I see what you did there.

  14. Re:Technology won't save them lol on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    Oh? And when it sucks up all the funding for medical research into curing diseases that would have otherwise been within society's grasp to cure, then what? Does that still not matter?

  15. Re:yup on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    Not for the rich, or in the future, or anywhere at all.

    You may be speaking sense here, but unfortunately this won't stop the detached super-wealthy from blowing it all up in an attempt to drive the industry towards the direction of technological development they think will most suit their dystopian plan for the future.

  16. Re:yup on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    I've got some bad news for you about the ratio of dirt to water on Mars.

  17. Re:What a bunch of fluff. on Are the Wealthy Plotting To Leave Us Behind? (medium.com) · · Score: 2

    If they find a way to do it cheaply, they will...

    ...immediately patent it and then jack the price through the roof.

    FTFY.

  18. Re:Yes on Is C++ a 'Really Terrible Language'? (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 2

    Try actually signing up for a Lisp class and you'll find out exactly why.

  19. Re:Yes on Is C++ a 'Really Terrible Language'? (gamesindustry.biz) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Doesn't happen much, but this time I'm going to have to agree with Anonymous Coward. All that will be accomplished by making programming languages easier is fostering the proliferation of even less qualified jackasses flooding the market with dangerously insecure and buggy code.

  20. Re:Good move on Hawaii Bans Sunscreens That Hurt Coral Reefs (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    Having your sunscreen recalled in the state of Hawaii does not constitute a birth condition.

  21. I wonder if Amazon wishes they'd held out on that high-bid buyout of Whole Foods right about now.

  22. The Princess Bride on Juggalos Figured Out How To Beat Facial Recognition (theoutline.com) · · Score: 2

    Fezzik: Why do you wear a mask? Were you burned by acid, or something like that?

    Westley: Oh no. It's just they're terrible comfortable. I think everyone will be wearing them in the future.

  23. Re:And ... if they hadn't? on Tesla Meets Self-Imposed Deadline For Model 3, Rolls Out 7,000 Cars In a Week (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    They may not have "twittered" but you can bet every single other dipshit hater would have.

  24. Re:This is why we can't have nice things on All-Radio 4.27 Portable Can't Be Removed? Then Your PC Is Severely Infected (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 2

    For every five hundred thousand or so obstinate windows users who think they are punishing us, there is one that it might sink through to. We'll continue to try to save the ones that deserve it, thank you. You can strive to become worthy or you can continue to get bent.

  25. Re:Why isn't this false advertising on AT&T Is Screwing Customers By Almost Tripling a Bogus Fee (androidpolice.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    It should be illegal, but as far as I know the law about including all taxes and fees in the listed price only applies to food.
