  1. Re:The issue has moved to the Internet on A Year After Ban On Loud TV Commercials: Has It Worked? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Stop using the service then. Seriously. If something is that insanely bad then just go without.

  2. Re:Some people won't bother to pick up mail on Canada Post Announces the End of Urban Home Delivery · · Score: 1

    That's a good thing in my opinion. Leaving the piles of junk mail at the mailbox as a form of protest will pick up with this system. People will dump it in the outgoing mail or on the ground. Either way it will start costing Canada Post money and then maybe they'll reconsider their position on running that kind of ridiculous business.

  3. Re:Some people won't bother to pick up mail on Canada Post Announces the End of Urban Home Delivery · · Score: 2

    Oh please. There are already tons of places in Canada doing it this way. The walk to the end of the street to the mailbox isn't going to have that kind of impact.

  4. He could get out of the charge on California Man Arrested for Running 'Revenge Porn' Website · · Score: 5, Interesting

    He should turn over all of his submission records, in essence handing over the information on hundreds of men who could be charged for posting the photos. They would probably offer him quite the plea deal if he were to do this.

  5. Re:1st 1st-person shooter on Doom Is Twenty Years Old · · Score: 1

    Wolfenstein was functional. Played it for a long time before Doom came out.

  6. Re:"Click-to-pay"... on Firefox 26 Arrives With Click-To-Play For Java Plugins · · Score: 4, Funny

    Same here. I made some popcorn before opening the comments.

  7. Re:Why on Gift Idea: Custom Photomosaics With AndreaMosaic and PhotoGrabber · · Score: 1

    It's a donation therefore it doesn't count as an advertisement and it can't possibly be for profit.

  8. Same reason as before on Why You Shouldn't Buy a UHD 4K TV This Year · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Please see last year's posts on why you shouldn't buy a 3D TV.

  9. Re:90% of students... on 62% of 16 To 24-Year-Olds Prefer Printed Books Over eBooks · · Score: 1

    I have a couple book reading apps on my phone. I can lug around many books all the time and read them whenever I have a spare minute. I'd much rather have an ebook than a printed one.

  10. Picard Syndrome on 62% of 16 To 24-Year-Olds Prefer Printed Books Over eBooks · · Score: 1

    There's already a name for this - Jean Luc Picard Syndrome.

  11. Re:Psychology on Psychologists Strike a Blow For Reproducibility · · Score: 1

    And there you have it. Getting chemistry to work in the lab is hard enough. Experimental psychology results would never stand up to the same scrutiny.

  12. Article Ownership on Have 100GB Free? Host Your Own Copy of Wikipedia, With Images · · Score: 5, Funny

    It comes with software that automatically reverts your edits and insults you.

  13. Re:The distinction is minor on Google Nexus Gets Wireless Charger · · Score: 1

    Difficult to get speakers and microphone sealed up.

  14. Re:scion on Online Car Retailer Launching Nation's First Car "Vending Machine" · · Score: 1

    Brighter main bulb? Go fuck yourself. Please.

  15. Re:FB2K FTW on Winamp Shutting Down On December 20 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    No it isn't. You collect pieces of Foobar and put them together to try to get something that acts sort of like a music player.

  16. Re:Alternatve hypothesis? on Cute Cat Photos Are Data-Driven Science Behind Cunning New Language Learning App · · Score: 1

    It's actually one of the current theories for explaining crazy cat lady behaviour.

  17. Re:I wish them success... on Wikimedia Sends Cease and Desist Letter To Firm Providing Paid Editing Services · · Score: 1

    Yes. Of course. The laws don't change based on doors being locked or unlocked.

  18. Re:Microsoft's abhorrently human factors design on Xbox One Controller Cost Over $100 Million To Develop · · Score: 1

    People think you're in ***marketing*** because you frame words with asterisks like a ten year old girl texting.

  19. Re:regarding collaborative efforts on Mathematicians Team Up To Close the Prime Gap · · Score: 5, Funny

    Wow. That's like so deep man.

  20. Re:How much will it cost? on Affordable Blood Work In Four Hours Coming To Pharmacies · · Score: 1

    I live in Canada and even though I don't have to pay for blood tests I still have to leave my warm igloo, hook up my dogs and then mush down to the trading post to get my blood drawn.

  21. Re:OW! on Affordable Blood Work In Four Hours Coming To Pharmacies · · Score: 4, Funny

    Blood from the tip of your penis is actually the best blood to use for tests. If you complain about it you're just a problem patient.

  22. Irrelevant on 1.2% of Apps On Google Play Are Repackaged To Deliver Ads, Collect Info · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The total number of apps doesn't matter. The only stats worth anything involve the number of apps that are actually downloaded and run. There are thousands of useless or malware infested apps out there but are people really using them?

  23. Re:Most are wrong anyway on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 2

    The lyrics at these crappy sites are almost universally wrong. Mistakes everywhere. Don't even get me started on sites that include chords or tabs.

  24. Re:Same story, different time on Spooked By His Sci Fi, FBI Looked Into Asimov As Possible Communist Tipster · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What the FUCK is going on with this country?

    The simple answer is that you keep on electing complete fuckwits.
