  1. Re:They hate our freedom on San Francisco Bans Parking Spot Auctioning App · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "People have the freedom to do as they want."

    Your opinion will change when you grow up.

  2. Fun for FPS! on Game Characters Controlled By Player's Emotions · · Score: 2

    The angrier you get, the lousier your aim gets and the easier you get fatigued. Would sure cut down a lot of the griefing.

  3. Re:Why do people listen to her? on Jenny McCarthy: "I Am Not Anti-Vaccine'" · · Score: 0

    But she advocates e-cigarettes.

    Why anyone listens to that self-contradictory fool is beyond me.

  4. Re:Interesting on 'weev' Conviction Vacated · · Score: 1

    It's more like writing an article in your local newspaper telling everyone who reads the paper just how they can steal all your neighbor's property without getting caught.

    At least that's my impression.

  5. Re:What happens now? on 'weev' Conviction Vacated · · Score: 1

    You WAY off base. It's sad that you have been modded up.

    Venue not objected-to in the trial court is WAIVED. That means it can't be raised for the first time on appeal.

    If it could, lawyer's would be sandbagging potential 'venue do-overs' all the time.

  6. Re:There is one, and only one, way to fight trolli on How Riot's Social Scientists Fight League of Legends Trolling · · Score: 1

    Players should be able to hire Matt Dillon to protect them from Griefers.

  7. Still Waiting For My Bike HUD on A 2560x1440 VR Headset That's Mobile · · Score: 1

    Can't wait for my Bike HUD headset with rearview camera, speed, gps, heart rate, RPM, and automated machine gun targeting display!

    That will be SO cool!

  8. Nothing Sucks Like Comcast on Comcast Takes 2014 Prize For Worst Company In America · · Score: 1

    They are the WORST. They are the biggest reason why I am a big supporter of municipal cable. When they have it, they abuse consumers with their monopoly power to the max.

  9. Re:Guilty until proven innocent. on Blender Foundation Video Taken Down On YouTube For Copyright Violation · · Score: 1

    A publicly-owned You Tube would drive Sony crazy.

  10. POT is Constitutionally Protected on WSJ: Prepare To Hang Up the Phone — Forever · · Score: 1, Insightful

    POT is a constitutionally protected privacy interest. The airwaves are not.

  11. Sincerity or Negotiating Ploy on Minecraft Creator Halts Plans For Oculus Version Following Facebook Acquisition · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Facebook just hasn't thrown enough money at him yet.

    When they do...then we'll see.

  12. Suspended Drivers! on L.A. Police: All Cars In L.A. Are Under Investigation · · Score: 1

    If those cameras get suspended drivers off the road, I'm totally for it. They're suspended for a reason.

  13. Are we advanced enough, yet? on Back To the Moon — In Four Years · · Score: 1

    If you can't build a base without people, then you're not ready yet and you're just wasting your money.

  14. Don't be surprised. Hitler's SS had its share of PhDs.

  15. Re:It will never fly in the US on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    While 10,000 years of a perpetual orgasm would be kind of cool, I don't think organizations like the CIA and the KGB would be much interested. They'd be more interested in 10,000 years of pain and torment.

    I can think of few things more evil than this.

  16. Re:It will never fly in the US on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    Intentionally driving people mad is torture. Rearranging people's brains to make them docile servants of the state is Stalinist.

    Anybody who thinks this kind of torture would be limited to time dilation is a moron. Think pain dilation. Anybody who thinks this would be limited to child rapists is an even bigger moron. Think dissidents.

    Everything about this stinks. The author would have made a sweet servant of Henry VIII....

  17. Memories of Mengele on Time Dilation Drug Could Let Heinous Criminals Serve 1,000 Year Sentences · · Score: 1

    Torture. Is. Bad.

  18. Re:We need a US base in the Ukraine on Russian Army Spetsnaz Units Arrested Operating In Ukraine · · Score: 1

    We should have a US base in EVERY country! But that wouldn't be imperialist now, would it?

  19. Gleiwitz on Russian Army Spetsnaz Units Arrested Operating In Ukraine · · Score: 1

    Is Putin really trying to engineer a phony Hitleresque provocation? The sanctions need to get upped big time. I doubt Russia would mobilize for war behind that gluttonous kleptocrat.

  20. That's about ALL Russia can do. on Russian State TV Anchor: Russia Could Turn US To "Radioactive Ash" · · Score: 1

    It can't take care of its people. It's army is a shambles.

    But it does have nuclear weapons. Just like Pakistan.

    Whoop-de-do!

  21. Answer the QUESTION. on Stanford Researchers Spot Medical Conditions, Guns, and More In Phone Metadata · · Score: 1

    Does the NSA rearrange bits on cable-connected computers in the USA without a warrant?

    Please pardon the John McEnroe reference!

  22. Incredible Bullshit on Cops Say NDA Kept Them from Notifying Courts About Cell Phone Tracking Gadget · · Score: 1

    The cops have two choices: (1) Breach the contract and pay damages; or (2) Violate the Constitution.

    The choice is obvious and the excuse is absurd.

  23. Slashvertisement on How I Cut My Time Warner Cable Bill By 33% · · Score: -1, Troll

    Are you people really trying to drive us away?

  24. Instruction (Type A) and Instruction (Type B) on Open Source Initiative, Free Software Foundation Unite Against Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Person A independently devises a set of computer instructions that make it possible for any person with a cheap 3D printer to create a unique and specific product that, if created, would be patentable. The product is not created.

    Person B independently does exactly the same thing--except that the instructions are written in English.

    B is not patentable under patent law (and it shouldn't be). A shouldn't be patentable, either. Otherwise, we'll get people who'll write instructions for making old, patent-expired stuff and expect to get a patent for their instructions.

    Software patents are garbage.

  25. Bitcoin is Nuts. on Mt. Gox Shuts Down: Collapse Should Come As No Surprise · · Score: 5, Insightful

    To play Bitcoin, you have to trust your Bitcoin exchanges. Those are BANKS, people. UNREGULATED banks!!! Banks have a history of really screwing depositors over when they're unregulated. Bank panics?? Why we have the FDIC?? Think about this for half a fucking second.

    How do you know where "your" Bitcoins are right now?

    One of the benefits of money is that it's backed up by a social superstructure (police, judiciary, the army, etc.). Bitcoin has none of that. You are on your own.
