  1. Re:This Warning Brought To You By Saudi Arabia on USGS: Oil and Gas Operations Could Trigger Large Earthquakes · · Score: 1, Funny

    Dammit, I came in here to give the 3-2-1 countdown to the launch of the denialist movement for this...beaten :-(

  2. Re:More things in space on Hubble Spots Star Explosion Astronomers Can't Explain · · Score: 1

    But thanks to recent advances in stem cell research and the fine work of Doctors Krinski and Altschuler, Clevon should regain full reproductive function!

  3. Surprising on Except For Millennials, Most Americans Dislike Snowden · · Score: 1

    The same jackoffs who share everything on Facebook apparently care a lot about privacy, who would've guessed?

  4. Japanese Reagan strikes again on Japan Looks To Distributed Control Theory To Manage Energy Market Deregulation · · Score: 2

    What a brilliant idea, especially in the wake of a nuclear power accident!

  5. Re:Instead... on 'Mobilegeddon': Google To Punish Mobile-Hostile Sites Starting Today · · Score: 1

    Came here to say this. IMO, "mobile" site versions have been doing more harm than good ever since Snake lost the title of coolest phone game.

  6. Optimists = horses on Robot Workers' Real Draw: Reducing Dependence on Human Workers · · Score: 1

    Optimists insist that we've been here before, during the Industrial Revolution, when machinery replaced manual labor, and all we need is a little more education and better skills.

    Reminds me of the bit about horses in this video:

  7. Re:1 million dollars per family? on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 1

    You underestimate the value of shitting out terrible ideas.

    (yes, Lucas is an awful-idea-making machine! The real geniuses are the ones who beat his malformed mind-turds into good movies on episodes 4-6. If he had his way, the main characters might have been Ewoks!)

  8. Re:1 million dollars per family? on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 4, Funny

    Every house is a fancy underground complex, and each above-ground entrance will look like a trailer, and each one will come with a muscle car body on blocks and a patchy lawn with tacky lawn ornaments on it and an assortment of kids' toys strewn about. Also there will be a hair salon that gives free mullet cuts to residents XD

  9. Re:Well done! on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 1

    On one hand I'm glad he built this low-income housing...on the other hand I don't like that the mere existence of poor people in the vicinity is being used as revenge. I mean it's hilarious and not his fault that rich people think like this, but participating in it seems wrong in itself.

    "Won't let me build my studio huh!? Well then eat poor people, motherfuckers! Muahahaha!"

  10. Re:If you need cameras on The Upsides of a Surveillance Society · · Score: 2

    Yep if it's done even when nobody's watching, THAT's kindness. If it's only done because there are cameras, that's called fear.

  11. Re:Yeah. Totalitarian dictatorships have upsides t on The Upsides of a Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    I hear that the trains are very timely as well!

  12. Re:What? Why discriminate? on 'We the People' Petition To Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status · · Score: 1

    Scientology has Xenu the space-devil, and the alien ghosts that implant themselves in everyone's bodies...

    However, I still think their tax-exempt religious status should be revoked. It was originally rejected for legitimate legal reasons and was only conceded to them because of bullying (via lawsuit-DDoS).

    Worryingly, I've noticed more mainstream religions are copying some of Scientology's business methods. "Prosperity gospel" basically copies the way they make massive real-estate investments and buy lavish luxuries for top officials using donations from followers. Some Christian boarding schools basically operate like Sea Org on land. I don't think the time is far off when tax exempt status for all religions will have to be revoked to clamp down on these abuses. Scientology has let the genie out of the bottle.

  13. Re:What about RdRand issue? on Linux 4.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    It hasn't been observed to do that...if RdRand was found to ever produce meaningful quantities of low-randomness output, then it should be eliminated as an entropy source.

  14. Re:What about RdRand issue? on Linux 4.0 Kernel Released · · Score: 1

    No, it's not an issue.

    RdRand could be 100% predictable and it wouldn't cause a problem.

  15. Re:Actions have consequences. on US Blocks Intel From Selling Xeon Chips To Chinese Supercomputer Projects · · Score: 1

    Came here to say this.

    List of Chinese nuclear tests

    Furthermore, is denying China access to certain Intel CPUs that much of a roadblock? They can buy elsewhere or even make their own. Maybe even make their own clones of these very Intel chips.

    This pissing match is stupid on a Cuba-esque level.

  16. Re:Strictly speaking... on The Last Time Oceans Got This Acidic This Fast, 96% of Marine Life Went Extinct · · Score: 1

    Hahaha you're a moron, it's more like saying "The temperature in Phoenix, AZ could become colder from August to September." It's still relatively hot, but it's getting colder. It doesn't imply freezing. Same with acidic/alkaline. Nobody said the oceans were getting closer to pH 0. And since we're dealing with a system that's already more acidic than it should be, I'd say to try to sugarcoat it with "less alkaline" for anyone who doesn't know exactly where the pH should be is disingenuous.

    If "more acidic" implies anything else, maybe you should loosen your tinfoil hat.

  17. Re:No mystery at all on America's Methane Mystery: NASA Set To Investigate Hotspot Over the 4 Corners · · Score: 1

    I wonder if there's any way to keep this methane from escaping? Even if it could be collected and flared off it would be a big improvement over letting it escape into the atmosphere.

  18. Re:Women like to look up - Science! on Did Natural Selection Make the Dutch the Tallest People On the Planet? · · Score: 1

    Maybe in the far future humans will become like the Irken and the tallest will rule over us all :-P

  19. Re:Curiously on Greenwald Criticizes Universities' Funding-Driven Collaboration With NSA · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, government control doesn't necessarily mean a loss of privacy, which I think also helps explain why right-wingers aren't against it: It's a gross invasion of privacy (which at least neoconservatives don't care about, because they "have nothing to hide" and don't mind the government in their bedroom) but it's not any kind of government control structure (in itself).

    Furthermore, the NSA roughly falls under the "defense" part of government which in the eyes of the right, gets every free pass in the book of free passes and cartes-blanche.

  20. This is sure ruffling some tinfoil feathers on Obama Says Climate Change Is Harming Americans' Health · · Score: 1

    This statement is mussing the tinfoil of the denialists and other right-wing nutjobs...I hope he does this some more! Trolololol! >:)

  21. Re:Straw Man Avoidance on Obama Says Climate Change Is Harming Americans' Health · · Score: 1

    Where do the slopes diverge? They're practically on top of each other, unless you want to try the old "atmospheric vs. oceanic warming" argument...care for a go?

    Climate change certainly did contribute to triggering the Syrian civil war:

    AGW won't cause a quick Roland Emmerich apocalypse, but there are definitely more interesting surprises in store if we do nothing...and you can blame them on whatever you want, it won't keep them from happening.
