  1. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 5, Insightful

    One of the teachers was a gun owner and owned multiple firearms.

    Her son used them to murder twenty children.

  2. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Just take Connecticut, it's a veritable melting pot of different ethnic groups from all over the world.

  3. Re:Teach People to Kill, and Kill They Will on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    Those TV shows and movies are broadcast in countries all over the world.

    Those video games are played by gamers all over the world.

    But it's AMERICANS who go crazy and kill groups of innocent people.

  4. Re:Yay on 27 Reported Killed In Connecticut Elementary School Shooting · · Score: 1

    A crazy guy attacked a bunch of kids at a school in China yesterday.

    He was armed with a knife, not a gun.

    Death toll: ZERO

    It's not horseshit, it's a reflection that the violence is part of a bigger problem.

    There are guns in other countries, violence in other countries, and crazy people in other countries.

    The problem IS AMERICA.

  6. Re:Platform == racketeering on Microsoft To Apple: Don't Take Your Normal 30% Cut of Office For iOS · · Score: 1

    I'd be surprised if Apple even had 0.1% of the iOS application market. That's quite a long way from a monopoly.

  7. Re:Platform == racketeering on Microsoft To Apple: Don't Take Your Normal 30% Cut of Office For iOS · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Seen the market share stats? iOS is nowhere near Android in terms of market share. Making it nicely insulated from criticism of monopoly practices while it takes ALL THE MONEY ON THE TABLE.

  8. Re:Why solitary? on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 1

    The things that he DID do weren't illegal in Sweden either, yet he still ended up in solitary.

  9. Re:Why solitary? on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Betcha he's wishing he'd just assaulted, raped, and/or killed a bunch of people rather than running a legal information-sharing website.

  10. Re:Does not solve the problem on F-16 Engines Stolen From Israeli Air Base · · Score: 3, Funny

    But... but... if the Jews don't hold Jerusalem that means Jebus won't come back! Israel must have the full economic and military support of the USA or Jebus will stay away!

  11. Re:link = trafficking? on Former Anonymous Spokesperson Indicted · · Score: 1

    Real-world analogy: "You can buy drugs in Washington Heights" = trafficking in drugs.

    This, of course, is the same logic employed by Big Media when pursuing thiev-- sorry, copyright infringers.

  12. Re:Big Question? on Python Creator Guido van Rossum Leaves Google For Dropbox · · Score: 3, Insightful

    He's a hacker. Maybe he wants to work for a technology company instead of an advertising company.

  13. Re:Been done already on Company Turns Your Android Smartphone Into a Game Console · · Score: 1

    No, it's not like Airplay. Airplay just works. This is Android based, so you'll probably have to buy a Nexus Q, then wait for your carrier to allow you to update to a compatible version of Android, then flash your handset and install a custom ROM. But you'll be able to ssh into your game console and run top and kill -9 when a runaway ad-serving process drags your battery life down to 30 minutes, so, like, open.

    I bet you can't show me current figures to support your claim.

    Eric Schmidt's testimony before the Senate Judiciary Hearing, August last year. He admitted that two thirds of Google's revenue from mobile comes from Apple devices.

  16. This would be on Historians Propose National Park To Preserve Manhattan Project Sites · · Score: 0

    the Dennis Kucinich who just lectured the Congressional Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on how autism is caused by mercury in vaccines, right?

    HEY THIS GUY SOUNDS LIKE AN EXPERT IN EVERYTHING LET'S LISTEN TO HIM

  17. Just because on If Tech Is So Important, Why Are IT Wages Flat? · · Score: 1

    a field is important, that doesn't mean the people who work in it are.

    During the industrial revolution assembly-line workers were the most important employees in the world, but that didn't mean they were on massive salaries.

    IT is a field with almost zero barriers to entry. Any mook can get an MCSE and be a "IT professional". And you know what? Any mook does.

  18. Puke on MPAA: the Impact of Megaupload's Shutdown Was 'Massive' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    "The Motion Picture Association of America (MPAA) has declared that the Megaupload shutdown earlier this year has been a great success"

    Never mind the fact that the shutdown itself was conducted illegally, and that thousands of legitimate users and businesses were harmed.

    Fuck you MPAA. You're the boy with his finger plugging a hole in a dike, and the water's pouring over the top.

    Yeah, because Apple hasn't made much money lately selling products.

    Yeah you, Apple.

  23. Re:This this not evolution on Humans Evolving Faster Than Ever · · Score: 1

    We're now living longer than we did 200 generations ago, and we're continuing to breed well past what would once have been EOL. That's a lot more years for genetic transcription errors to build up and then be passed on.

  24. Let's be honest here on Is It Time For the US To Ditch the Dollar Bill? · · Score: 1

    Nothing will ever again happen in the USA that isn't the way that it has always been done. Getting rid of useless low-denomination coins and notes, using the metric system... the USA is now stuck in a permanent unalterable nostalgia mode. To propose something as sensible as ditching $1 paper bills is tantamount to saying "I hate the Founding Fathers and Jesus and Ronald Reagan".
