  1. Good luck with that on Future Holds Large Updates Instead of Stand-Alone Windows Releases · · Score: 1

    "Ah, here's your problem. This program won't run on Windows; you'll need to upgrade to Windows."

  2. iWatch on Apple's Plans For Your DNA · · Score: 1

    Now the real reason for the iWatch comes to light, and why it won't work with tattoos. Can't contaminate the 1-point font, EULA-permitted DNA samples with ink, after all.

  3. Oh, BS buddy on Self-Driving Big Rigs Become a Reality · · Score: 1

    new DOT rulings that took away around 20% of a driver's available hours per week, ie income

    Rather: ie, taking away their ability to kill themselves AND OTHERS due to sleep deprivation.

    Sheesh; Conservatives love a body count for profits.

  4. The Mad Max Game on Self-Driving Big Rigs Become a Reality · · Score: 1

    Every year, they should host a competition for all comers to try and distract, disable, or destroy a sand-filled autonomous tanker truck. Self-fund it through pay per view.

  5. Even pre-paid on Google Can't Ignore the Android Update Problem Any Longer · · Score: 1

    Verizon Moto G and *still* on 4.4.4 and probably forever, regardless of the pretty promises from the Chocolate Factory.

  6. Might I suggest a catchy name like... Corinthians?

  7. Oh, I'm sure the Japanese 'whale scientists' have known about this for decades.

  8. Re:EEO bullshit on Recruiters Use 'Digital Native' As Code For 'No Old Folks' · · Score: 1

    Sight, I hate seeing my tax $$ going to waste drafting these stupid laws.

    Perhaps you should donate your eyes to some old guy.

  9. Missing the point on Ubuntu 15.04 Received Well By Linux Community · · Score: 1

    systemd is underwritten - if not actually written - by Red Hat.
    Given their cozy, lucrative government contracts, I trust Red Hat even less than Microsoft.

  10. Re:Withholding evidence? on US Gov't Will Reveal More About Its Secret Cellphone Tracking Devices · · Score: 1

    If law officers are breaking the law, then what is the difference between them and criminals?

    The cops have better criminal connections. They also provide the cops their budgets.

  11. Craigslist on Mozilla Begins To Move Towards HTTPS-Only Web · · Score: 1

    Last time I tried, https didn't work. Kinda surprised me.

  12. HA! on US Switches Air Traffic Control To New Computer System · · Score: 2

    Hmmm. People are still the same size

    Stopped reading right there.

  13. History repeats itself on ESPN Sues Verizon To Stop New Sports-Free TV Bundles · · Score: 2

    Just like Google after them, ESPN was once the plucky, decent, little engine that could. But once the money started rolling in, they both turned into rapacious, black-hearted juggernauts with out-sized influence at every level including regulatory capture.

    A pox on both their mansions.

  14. Re:what kind of leaks do they want. on The Sun Newspaper Launches Anonymous Tor-Based WikiLeaks-Style SecureDrop · · Score: 2

    Leaks about lefties will be shouted from the filthy Fox rooftops. Leaks about righties will be kept quiet and the leaker will meet with an unfortunate 'accident'.

  15. Seeds of the Revolution on Robots Step Into the Backbreaking Agricultural Work That Immigrants Won't Do · · Score: 1

    When even the menial, back-breaking labor jobs disappear, what are the masses of humanity (on both sides of every border) supposed to do? If the One-Percenters don't change soon, they won't be able to find high enough gates for their communities nor enough mercenaries to keep them alive against the human tidal wave of the underclass shouting "I'm hungry NOW!!".

  16. Odd on Comcast Officially Gives Up On TWC Merger · · Score: 1

    I have Cox and am thankful of it every time I even hear these twin pillars of suck mentioned. Absolutely rock-solid, with tech support people located within my own Podunk rural state.

  17. And on Gen. Petraeus To Be Sentenced To Two Years Probation and Fine · · Score: 1

    He gets to keep the freedom to bang the hot woman to whom he leaked government secrets (as she will remain free too).

    "They hate us for our* Freedom!"




    * - 'Us' being the power elite, not the filthy commoners subject to all the rules.

  18. Self-hatred on iTunes Stops Working For Windows XP Users · · Score: 1

    Using iTunes *and* XP? Wow. Are these people wearing hair shirts too?

  19. More unemployment on New Sampling Device Promises To Make Blood Tests Needle-Free · · Score: 1

    US-based company Tasso Inc. believes that these unpleasant pricks can be removed from the equation completely.

    Then what, go sell cars?

  20. Re:Write your Congresscritters on McConnell Introduces Bill To Extend NSA Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Time to write your representatives and tell them you oppose this bill. Seriously. Go to their web sites and write them. The only way you can attempt to derail this thing is to be proactive and tell the people elected to represent your interests what your interests ARE.

    You've leapt to the conclusion my 'representatives' are not miserable, lizard-brained fascists, endlessly voted for by the staggeringly stupid mouth breathers in this intellectually-forsaken blood-red rectangle of a state.

  21. Eye of the beholder on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    Unless this is meat-space curated, this could unintentionally play right into the hands of trolls or anyone who believes any criticism of their '140 of wisdom' is a threat.

  22. Buried Lede on Why the Journey To IPv6 Is Still the Road Less Traveled · · Score: 1

    Because IPv4 has no native security, it's vulnerable to a much wider range of attacks...

    I think we might have found the root cause for the glacially slow rollout.

  23. Re:Been there, done that. on Colors Help Set Body's Internal Clock · · Score: 1

    Depression meds take about 6 weeks to have an effect, so I'm guessing that it would take about 6 weeks for the glasses to have an anti-depressive effect as well. I'm on week 3 with the glasses.

    That has to be rather large glass of water.

  24. Rural perspective on Does Lack of FM Support On Phones Increase Your Chances of Dying In a Disaster? · · Score: 1

    From personal experience in a rural setting, where the FM transmitters were tens of miles (or more) away, there was virtually no FM reception on my Moto G unless I had my earphones plugged in to act as an external antenna. So I guess add in a set of earphones to your Go bags.

  25. By inference on Pull-Top Can Tabs, At 50, Reach Historic Archaeological Status · · Score: 1

    So by inference, Jimmy Buffet (Margaritus Flipfloppus) is now archeologically significant as well.
