  1. Re:Value of CERN on CERN Confirms Hints of Hypothetical Particle Have Disappeared (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    That would be a $10-15 billion dollar "nope, doesn't work". Ouch!

  2. Re:What about 3D? on Japan Starts 8K TV Broadcasts In Time For Rio Olympics (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Recently watched one of the Superbike races from the Isle of Man which was broadcast (by ITV?) in HD at 50 frames per second. The difference was noticeable and very impressive.

  3. Prevent Dementia? on Can Computerized Brain Training Prevent Dementia? (newyorker.com) · · Score: 0

    You would have to have dementia to believe that playing a computer game will prevent it. If you get Alzheimers there is no treatment and the prognosis is a slow, confusing decline into helplessness. If they are truly suggesting their game helps people, they aren't even doctors and are only helping themselves. I call bullshit.

  4. That does it, I'm not buying anything more from Poland!

  5. I'm curious on Do You Have A Living Doppelgänger? (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Would a woman's ears sag like her tits as she got older?

  6. As long as they have Jimmy Fallon and that other dolt that comes on after him, people illegally downloading "content" is the least of their problems. Wouldn't bet on NBC being around in 5-10 years.

  7. Re:Don't like bats? on Insect-Devouring Bats Now Welcomed in New York (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

  8. There's 240k people work at DHS on American Cities Are Installing DHS-Funded Audio Surveillance (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    They've got to do something to justify their phony baloney jobs.

  9. Doesn't matter - she's gonna lose on Clinton Tech Plan Reads Like Silicon Valley Wish List (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    People would rather watch The Donald Show than The Hillary Show. That's what it's come down to.

  10. Rick Astley for Prime Minister on Web Petition For 2nd EU Referendum Draws Huge Interest (ap.org) · · Score: 1

    Aren't these the same people who voted to name their latest naval ship Boaty McBoatface? Astley for Prime Minister - he's never gonna give you up!

  11. Re:DEC veterans, report in! Tell us your war stori on BitTorrent Adds Music, Video Streaming Options With Re-Launched BitTorrent Now (billboard.com) · · Score: 1

    Was living next door to a fellow 4-5 years ago who told me they were still using VAX computers where he worked (Michelin Tire in Nova Scotia) and there was no plan to replace them. Not exactly on topic, but what is here anyways. Streaming with bit torrent .... yawn ... sound of crickets.

  12. Conflict of interest on Thanks To Apple's Influence, You're Not Getting A Rifle Emoji (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1

    As I understand it, Apple was lobbying for the "Vibrating Butt Plug" emoji.

  13. Re:This is an great time to discuss common sense l on FBI Director Comey: 'Highly Confident' Orlando Shooter Radicalized Through Internet (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Like Mark Twain said "Common sense ain't that common". Your freedom hating sentiments offend me sir.

  14. Re:What do they do with them? on New York Thieves Wearing Apple Store T-Shirts Steal $16,000 In iPhones (pix11.com) · · Score: 1

    Thieves have never been known for an over abundance of forethought. Can see them now, in jail "Seemed like a good idea at the time ..."

  15. Re:uTorrent is still alive? on uTorrent Forums Hacked, Passwords Compromised (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Still using utorrent 3.0 - works a charm!

  16. What's your definition of misogynist? on Study: '50% of Misogynistic Tweets From Women' (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    H.L. Mencken — 'Misogynist: A man who hates women as much as women hate one another.'

  17. There's a reason people are high on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 1

    Randy: I can't get stoned, Ricky. Ricky: What do you mean? It's shitty work. Everybody does that, all right? Carpenters, electricians, dishwashers, floor cleaners, lawyers, doctors, fuckin' politicians, CBC employees, principals, people who paint the lines on the fuckin' roads, get stoned, it'll be fun, get to work! Oh, and this is the most important, go down to the Shit-Mart. I need a bag of chicken chips. If they don't have chicken, get me dill pickle. And I want a chocolate milk.

  18. Where has the wit and humor gone? on 2012 Free Software Award Winners Announced · · Score: 1

    I realize it's Sunday morning, yet after reading the above comments, might I suggest you offer a new moderation option of dipshit. About as entertaining as an Ellen Degeneres marathon.

  19. Best thing about adware on OS X? on New OS X Trojan Adware Injects Ads Into Chrome, Firefox, Safari · · Score: 1

    It just works!

  20. Goodfellas? That's funny ... on Crooks Steal $1.5M In iPads From JFK · · Score: 1, Funny

    Tommy DeVito: [it becomes quiet] Funny how? What's funny about it? Anthony Stabile: Tommy no, You got it all wrong. Tommy DeVito: Oh, oh, Anthony. He's a big boy, he knows what he said. What did ya say? Funny how? Henry Hill: Jus... Tommy DeVito: What? Henry Hill: Just... ya know... you're funny.

Tommy DeVito: No, no, I don't know, you said it. How do I know? You said I'm funny. How the fuck am I funny, what the fuck is so funny about me? Tell me, tell me what's funny! Henry Hill: [long pause] Get the fuck out of here, Tommy! Tommy DeVito: [everyone laughs] Ya motherfucker! I almost had him, I almost had him. Ya stuttering prick ya. Frankie, was he shaking? I wonder about you sometimes, Henry. You may fold under questioning.

  21. Re:Pigs...is there anything that can't do?! on Sequenced Pig Genome Could Help Combat Human Diseases · · Score: 1

    All that AND you can make footballs out of them.

  22. Microsoft in Trouble? on The Empire In Decline? · · Score: 0

    I have to admit to a certain schadenfreude every time a story comes out about Microsoft's latest failure. They have been too big for too long and I look forward to the day when someone won't TELL ME that I have to use the latest version of MS Word to write a resume or anything else. And for all those people who bought a computer with Windows 8 recently ... there's still Ubuntu! Ha, ha.

  23. Re:3 strikes and he's out on In Mississippi: 15-Year Jail Sentence For Selling Pirated Movies and Music · · Score: 1

    The thing is that almost nobody gets charged with first degree murder. Not that many years ago a person shot another at a party, in the head from three feet away. He was charged with manslaughter and was out on day parole in less than 2 years. You'd have be on your second or third killing or murder a Mountie to get more than 20 years.

  24. Re:Google Should Know on Government Surveillance Growing, According To Google · · Score: 1

    They may be posting embarassing or scandalous items at the top of their search results, but I have noticed in the past that certain individuals have almost nothing about them. In particular, one former Canadian politician who was in the news every day for a couple years regarding a sex scandal. When I google his name almost nothing shows up, perhaps 2 or 3 general articles. What's the deal with that? I've read that there are persons who claim to get things "removed" from Google . The other day I googled "Bob Dylan Ten Of Swords" and got a whole page of Chilling Effects warnings. Dylan's lawyers must keep very busy. And yeah, as much as they perturb me, I use their stuff all the time.

  25. Google Should Know on Government Surveillance Growing, According To Google · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Whatever happened to "Don't be evil"? And how many tens of thousands of enquiries from "government agencies" does one have to receive before one is not acting as a subject but rather as an arm of that same government. And, at what point do people have to say "enough"?
