  1. Re: Perfect democrats on California Gives Final OK To Require Solar Panels On New Houses (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    So I guess your power company is going to let you hang on to that 19k for 30 years and not actually pay for the electricity? Thatâ(TM)s neat

  2. Re: Why I don't give to secular "aid" organization on Scientists Stunned as Medical Non-Profit Group Abruptly Ends Research Grants (nature.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh right, the old âoeonly religious people can be moralâ argument. Makes sense.

  3. To be fair, the opinion said that it was already wrong back in 1992, and the internet just made it worse. Itâ(TM)s pretty clearly stated.

  4. Re: Worried About Healthcare, Making Things Cost M on 'Cards Against Humanity' Gives Out $1000 Checks (nbcchicago.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, sure, if you turn your brain off. Or you could recognize that the two issues are very different, and the âoecost moreâ part is intended as a deterrent, not just to take money out of the governmentâ(TM)s pockets.

  5. Re: What do they speak in India? on Is American English Going To Take Over British English Completely? (scroll.in) · · Score: 1

    "Get on of" is not The equivalent of âoeget off of." You're looking for "get on to." Which I don't think would grate on your average American.

  6. Particularly bad for a surface on You Can't Open the Microsoft Surface Laptop Without Literally Destroying It (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    This is particularly bad for a surface because, while they are pretty and functional, they are also designed for horrible reliability. everything breaks. Particularly bad offender is the power adapters on these things. You can't fix it yourself, but hey, Microsoft will repair it for you at the low, low cost of ~$600+.

  7. Re: So the question is this: on Amazon Granted a Patent That Prevents In-Store Shoppers From Online Price Checking (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    So they can use it in their own brick and mortar stores now that they've bought Whole Foods.

  8. I guess I don't get it. on New Cars Are Too Expensive For The Typical Family, Says Study (gulfnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I make more than their median income figure, and I just bought a fully loaded Corolla for less than $18k. Am I supposed to feel bad for people that can't afford a $34k car? Maybe consider a cheaper or used vehicle.

  9. I hear this a lot, but wouldn't the alternative just be to sell the guy a license for $1? That would be enforcing your trademark without being a douche.

  10. Re:Why? on uTorrent To Build In Transfer-Throttling Ability · · Score: 1

    Why do articles always have to be referred to as "TFA," as in "The Fucking Article?" Why can't it just be "the article" most of the time?

    Let me explain:
    a) That's "The Fine Article", you insensitive clod!
    b) You must be new here.
    c) In light of b) Articles=bad. Summaries=good.

    or just
    a) "The Full Article"
    b) Like most acronyms, it's shorter than typing it out. How hard is that to understand?

    This probably isn't so much for avoiding the eye of your ISP as it is for personal network management. I know I don't want bittorrent interfering with my internet usage, particularly when my wife is at the computer. Not having a router that can prioritize my internet traffic, this is a welcome feature to avoid either slow-downs or having someone else turn off my downloads so they can use the internet.
