    Yes, then at level 7 they all band together to kill all humans. Why did we ask for this? Why?!

  2. Next level autonomy! on The Audi A8: First Production Car To Achieve Level 3 Autonomy (ieee.org) · · Score: 5, Funny

    At level 4 the car decides on it's own where to take you. At level 5 it gets bored waiting for you in the parking lot and decides to leave you to pursue it's own life as a career movie stunt car and part time Uber drone.

  3. Only 30 cups of coffee per day to reduce chance of dying by 100%!

  4. Have been harassed in real life.

    You should consider trying any operating system not made by Microsoft.

    I might consider one for $100 though.

  9. Yes, please Mr. Putin. The CIA, the FBI, and the NSA collectively can't seem to muster the resources to secure a copy of Windows. Can you please send us some ex-KGB experts to help with the leaks?

    The satellites say that 70% of the emissions are coming from one large building in Siberia, and the rest is spread evenly across the continental US as a result of fertilization.

    ... that after years of developing the product with the help of expertise, testing, and advocacy from the Open Source community, they'll sell it at the last second to Facebook and nobody will ever get to use it.

  12. I was thinking something far more innocuous, like some tiny fascist dictatorship has banned all porn with a global proxy that filters everything based on request URL and referrer string comparisons. Then randomly one day someone notices that anything with a wikipedia referrer passes the filter and word gets out.

    That's what I was thinking, until I noticed the details say they pre-load the libreboot BIOS and max out all ram banks.

  16. Eh... some of them are less than 500$ even. And keep in mind that also includes fully maxxed-out ram banks - 8GB isn't actually bad. They pre-load libreboot too, which is a task more suited for professionals. If you can pull that off on your own and also find one of these models on ebay without a broken screen or keyboard, more power to you. I'm guessing most users will not be able to save more than 600$ of time on it though.

  20. Truly, truly I say to you; All the Christians in the US that have any sway over church policies have become outrageously greedy bastards lately. They couldn't ever admit this to themselves though, so good luck trying to get them to admit it in public.
