  1. Re:Robots don't need to be as fast as humans on Building Amazon a Better Warehouse Robot · · Score: 1

    That would be short-sighted. Robots make great workers but are lousy consumers.

  2. Re:Robots don't need to be as fast as humans on Building Amazon a Better Warehouse Robot · · Score: 1

    A basic minimum income would surely relieve the sting of having physical labor made obsolete.

  3. Re:Stupid ... on US Proposes Tighter Export Rules For Computer Security Tools · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're both right. Both the politicians and the people are ignorant. The politicians are simply more cunning at manipulating people.

  4. Re:Nice on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    Giving it to Obama was nuts, and it's now not clear if this prize has any point any more.

    That ship sailed when they gave it to Arafat.

  5. Re:Buddha says... on BBC Gives Up On 3-D Television Programming · · Score: 2

    Technically I think he said to stop wanting shit, stupid or not, because freedom from desire was the path to fulfillment. Or something along those lines, anyway.

  6. Cool, let's send Congress first. on U.S. House Wants 'Sustained Human Presence On the Moon and the Surface of Mars' · · Score: 5, Funny

    The moon, Mars, deep space... just get them off this planet and out of our hair ASAP.

  7. Re:Civillian cyber-casualties on S. Korea Says Cyber Attack From North Wiped 48,700 Machines · · Score: 0

    Yet.

  8. They need to just get out of the hardware biz. on Nintendo's Wii U Will Be Sold At a Loss · · Score: 0

    I'd love to play their franchises again, but not enough to shell out for one of their consoles with yet another nonsensical controller scheme. Just go entirely 3rd party and put those games on Steam. I'll buy 'em.

  9. If you don't want to be mocked, don't be ridiculous.

  10. Meh. on Craigslist Demands Exclusivity For Postings · · Score: 1

    I only ever went there to read the "Best Of" section anyway, and not even that in recent years. No great loss.

  11. Depends on what you mean by war on Obama Order Sped Up Wave of Cyberattacks Against Iran · · Score: 1

    If by war you mean "destruction of property" then yes, I suppose you could say we're at war. But then you'd be using such an overly broad definition of "war" as to make the term useless.

  12. Re:Dear USA on US Ordered To Hand Over Megaupload Documents · · Score: 1

    You force-spread your culture among us

    Funny, I don't remember using fire and the sword to make the rest of the world gobble up our pop-culture drek.

  13. Re:Dear USA on US Ordered To Hand Over Megaupload Documents · · Score: 1

    According to this they're pretty much cool with it. http://satwcomic.com/new-nordic

  14. Re:Dear USA on US Ordered To Hand Over Megaupload Documents · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Because Americans wont work for chinese wages.

    Yet. But they're working on it.

  15. Re:Plenty of Feedback on US Unhappy With Australians Storing Data On Australian Shores · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah, we get plenty of criticism, but it's very rare that we don't end up getting our way. That's my point.

  16. Re:Walls Rise And Fall on US Unhappy With Australians Storing Data On Australian Shores · · Score: 1

    That's a fair-minded view. Still, it wouldn't hurt one bit if the rest of the world told us to fuck off every now and then.

  17. Re:uhhh. on Open Letter By Eric S. Raymond To Chris Dodd · · Score: 1

    I think it's fine to continue with the honorific if they served out their full term. Those who are ejected from office or quit before their term is up should lose it.

  18. Re:Unfair huh? on RIAA Chief Whines That SOPA Opponents Were "Unfair" · · Score: 1

    I see no point in being "fair" to the **AA anyway. When you're dealing with cockroaches, you don't try to be "fair" to them. You just kill them and go about your business.

  19. Neutrality? BS! on RIAA Chief Whines That SOPA Opponents Were "Unfair" · · Score: 1

    Apparently when one is threatened and attacked, one is expected to maintain "neutrality" between oneself and the attacker.

  20. Tend to disagree. on Ubuntu 12.04 To Include Head-Up Display Menus · · Score: 1

    I attended a talk on menus, tree-navs, and the like a few years back at a No Fluff conference. The thrust of the talk was, why should you waste time proving to your machine that you know the location of your desired item in a menu hierarchy? If you know what you're looking for, you should be able to just tell your computer "Give me X" and have it respond with the correct item/action. I've been able to cut short a lot of time wasting by telling my devs "Just ctrl-shift-R it" when they're hunting for a class in Eclipse. What Ubuntu is doing here is Ctrl-Shift-R writ large, and I applaud it even though I've spent the last year or so giving them shite for screwing up a perfectly good interface.

  21. Re:Really??? on Microsoft Is a Dying Consumer Brand · · Score: 1

    Just route them to the nearest Rand Paul rally.

  22. Re:Submit to Uncle Sam or go to jail. on US Gov't Orders 73,000 Private Websites Offline · · Score: 1

    Is there such a thing as an opt-in government? I don't think China and the US have a lock on enforcing governmental supremacy within said government's borders.

  23. Re:The fact is, US is just as bad as China on US Gov't Orders 73,000 Private Websites Offline · · Score: 1

    outstanding freedom of speech? Only for those that agree with the government:

    Then please explain Glenn Beck's continued freedom, and the rest of his ilk. And for that matter, how did Olbermann survive the Bush years?

  24. Ugh, please no. on Dragon Age 2 Announced · · Score: 2, Insightful

    One thing that would have made it infinitely better was a multiplayer option, even just locally.

    Maybe I'm just a misanthrope, but enough with the goddamn multiplayer. That's what D&D is for.

  25. Not entirely a terrible thing on Solar Plane Completes 24-Hour Flight · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The military spends the money to perfect it, or at least bring it to a generally useful stage. At the point that commercial interests get their hands on it, most of the major bugs in the core functionality have been worked out, allowing the erstwhile vendors to spend their money adding bells & whistles. By the time we consumers get our grubby paws on it, the major pitfalls have been addressed.
