  1. It's time to give everyone a gold medal. on AMD: It's Time To Open Up the GPU (gpuopen.com) · · Score: 0

    Said the gal winning bronze.

  2. Move over NASA on The Story Behind National Reconnaissance Office's Octopus Logo (muckrock.com) · · Score: 1

    There is a new King of U.S. govt logos.

  3. The best argument against using Twitter on Twitter To Revive Politwoops, Archive of Politicians' Deleted Tweets (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    is Twitter itself.

    We should be discomfited if not greatly concerned that arguably our most precious possession, speech, is arbitrated by private companies like Twitter and Facebook.

  4. Citizens united on Twitter Bans 'Hateful Conduct' (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    SCOTUS: "Twitter is a corporation and entitled to free speech. Its users...not so much."

  5. New York Sells Ads in Former Public Phone Space on New York Begins Public Gigabit Wi-Fi Rollout (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

  6. Re:The Only Legitimate Reponse on "Credible" Bomb Threat Closes, Evacuates All Los Angeles Public Schools · · Score: 1

    Exactly. This wouldn't be a problem if we just had more professionals stationed throughout schools with bombs strapped to their bellies.

  7. Kids in cold climates get snow days off. on "Credible" Bomb Threat Closes, Evacuates All Los Angeles Public Schools · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why shouldn't L.A. kids get jihad days off?

  8. So? on Porsche Is Building a Tesla Competitor (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    If they wait until "the end of the decade", they may be the only car manufacturer without an all EV model well before that time.

  9. From the guys who brought you the fifth razor. on Sony Unlocks PlayStation 4's Previously Reserved Seventh CPU Core For Devs (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Screw it, were going to seven cores.

  11. Henry VIII makes Darth Vader look like Ghandi.

  12. I can say the prequels don't exist and believe it. on George Lucas: "I'm Done With Star Wars" · · Score: 1

    My memories of Star Wars are of standing in line as a seven-year-old during the original release in 1977.

    I never got around to seeing the prequels and from what I hear that was good fortune. Now I can live in ignorant bliss that they never existed. I won't see the latest attempt to cash in on the original films either. Why taint a perfect childhood memory?

  13. Netflix wants to remake "Lost in Space" on Florida Group Wants To Make Space a 2016 Presidential Campaign Issue (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    Florida wants to remake "Meat in Space."

    Both programs have roughly equivalent scientific value. Unmanned stuff, on the other hand makes a lot of sense.

  14. I wish Windows were not relevant. on Happy 30th Birthday, Windows! · · Score: 1

    Many have long wanted to see Windows wiped from existence. Thirty years, in those same people reluctantly send their pound of flesh to Redmond every release cycle.

    Maybe in another thirty years there will be an open source desktop OS with more than single digit percentage use on the desktop.

  15. Re:I would be genuinely curious on Microsoft Kills Off Zune Music Service (networkworld.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Perhaps consumers never warmed to a product whose main selling point involved "Steve Ballmer squirting at you."

  16. You have the right on Google Car Pulled Over For Driving Too Slow, Doesn't Get a Ticket (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    to remain silent.

  17. Firefox long term strategy on Mozilla Plans To Remove Support For Firefox Complete Themes · · Score: 5, Funny

    Step 1: Eschew everything that makes Firefox distinct from Chrome.
    Step 2: Make an inferior clone of Chrome on a budget smaller than Google's sofa change.
    Step 3: ???
    Step 4: Overtake Chrome!

  18. A real Briton...bathing your testicles in hydrochloric acid.

    As a wanna be Briton, may I request contextual clarification on the following:
    1) British fondness for tea.
    2) "Teabagging" related injuries.

  19. Dear Libtards, Explain Comcast. on Comcast Expanding Data Cap Locations, Training Reps To Avoid Subject (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Signed,

    Municipal Fiber.

  20. Re:illogical summary on Analog Still Big In Japan (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Newer is not always better, and quite often the reverse it true. In many cases, "They don't make 'em like they used to" is fact, not nostalgia.

  21. Google migrant labor on The Google Employee Who Opted For a Truck Over Bay Area Rents (dice.com) · · Score: 1

    If Google employees can't afford rent, how can teachers, nurses, and janitors?

  22. The girl next door. on Playboy Drops Nudity As Internet Fills Demand · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Hugh Hefner based Playboy on the idea of revealing the sexy side of "the girl next door." It was an innocent notion, part fantasy, part reality, presented with taste and class over several interesting decades of changing social values.

    Well done, Hef. The internet has made you obsolete, but will never replace you.

  23. Ashley Madison type extortion on Yelp For People To Launch In November · · Score: 1

    You will be able to pay to wipe reviews of yourself from the website, just before the class action lawsuits roll in and the sudden shutdown.

  24. Sticking it to the man back in the mainland. on Xiaomi Investigated For Using Superlatives In Advertising, Now Illegal In China · · Score: 4, Funny

    Now I understand why every Chinese American store and/or product is named 'Super Happy Best for Lucky Joyful Times'.
