  1. Re: Sure, whatever... on Sue Googe Uses Google's Font To Run For US Congress (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Could it not be argued that the signs could be interpreted as a subliminal command to "Sue" Google? Especially if the first name is a regular font and the last name made to look like Google, and especially people just glancing at the signs, not really reading them but seeing commands to Sue Google all day long? I'll admit it took a second for this headline to parse for me for this very reason.

    Of course. Can't go around having only white lasers... They're also working on female lasers at this moment, they can call them "fasers"

    Yeah, and a lot of the rest committed burgularies (to buy drugs), or robbed someone (to buy drugs), or even killed someone (that ripped them off or stole their drugs). Buy those don't count as "drug crimes".

  5. Of course they are on Microsoft To End Nagging Windows 10 Upgrade Notifications In July (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Doesn't that pretty much coincide with the time they start charging for Windows 10? I was in the beta forever and even though I have a pre-release version of Windows can I still get the upgrade pop ups. I tried to use my Windows key from my laptop running Windows 7 but it's rejecting it. It's a used machine that used to belong to the Department of Defense so I'm sure it's probably some weird issue with the license key being shown as owned by them and it's causing problems because now it's a home IP address that's trying to upgrade it maybe? I don't know. I just know it next me constantly but then won't let me upgrade. It's going to keep this shit up until right after the last date so they can charge me just you watch.

  7. Re: Apps are Useless, But not the Watch on Apple's Smartwatch Draws Competition And A Very Bad Review (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    After losing my first moto 360 that I got when new (on kit Kat), I wasn't too concerned. I'd put it on at 7am and it'd be dead by 5pm. I recently got another on swappa, what a difference marshmallow makes. Device is generally more snappy and now I put it on at 6am and when I take it off at 11pm, it still has ~55% left on battery. It's a great buy if you can find a decent used one or one on same somewhere. They even added gesture navigation which I use a lot as it lets me use it while cycling.

    Have an arduino or something that can listen for drones and upon hearing them, automatically lower blinds with goatse printed on the outside!

    Yeah the fishing line idea is good, though... Not your fault if a drone runs into an 'art installation' on your private property.

  12. Re: Let's just get the makers vs takers out of th on VC, Entrepreneur Says Basic Income Would Work Even If 90% People 'Smoked Pot' and Didn't Work (techinsider.io) · · Score: 1

    The implication i got from it is that there's an entire class of people called social workers who's paycheck is paid by funds earmarked for assistance programs. These people's jobs consist of assessing the applicant's need and approving or denying them, most likely accompanied by mountains of paperwork, meetings, paperwork about meetings, etc. These people aren't producing anything, their jobs could probably be automated away right now, just determine the applicant's eligibility by tax records, offspring, etc. Every time i pass the welfare office and see that big brick building with the employee lot full of cars not held together with literal duct tape, like I've seen in the parking lot out front, i wonder how many more needy people could be fed/housed/clothed with what it takes to run that place. I think that's what he meant by "parasites".
