    Anyone who clicks on Parent's link deserves it.

    Once the hot new social network comes out, then they'll give some other evil bastard money.

  3. Re:Why Amazon beats Wal-Mart on Facebook and Wal-Mart Join Forces · · Score: 3, Informative

    Wal-Mart's website sucks on a level that is so difficult to describe I would simply advise visiting it to see for yourself.

    A while ago I was in a Wal-Mart shopping for a waterproof camera for my sister. I had to see what models were available near where I was staying and email her a list to choose from. I saw that each camera had a little QR code on the price tag sticker below it and figured "oh handy, a link to the product page! I'll copy this to my list!"

    I pulled out my phone, scanned it, and it was a link to the Wal-Mart homepage |:-(

    He's probably a gen. Y'er and used to it, all companies do that to gen. Y'ers. But I remember my dad's stories of "job security" and "livable wages." I won't forget.

    Promise you won't make jokes about them afterwards this time and maybe they'll agree.

  7. Re:Willing to bet.. on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 2

    Still not as hilarious as when they claimed that the Star Wars prequels were anti-Bush. They were basically saying themselves that Bush was evil, the only things Bush and Palpatine had in common otherwise was that they were both old white men. Somewhat similar to the situation with the V for Vendetta movie.

  8. Re:The Left Is So Predictable on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Never let a tragedy go to waste.
    First blame it on a political motive. Must be a right-wing nut. Couldn't just be a plain old garden-variety nut, gotta be some way to blame your political opponents for this. Don't wait for the facts to come out, get the idea out there circulating that it's all part of the Vast Right-Wing Conspiracy.

    This is especially funny because the new Dark Knight movie actually carries a very right-wing message.

  9. Re:Manufactures on 12 Dead, 50 Injured at The Dark Knight Rises Showing In Colorado · · Score: 1

    Not even overseas, you'd just have a booming used market with owners doing a lot of work to maintain old models, as with retro gaming or affordable sports cars.

    Actually that might help a little bit to keep them out of the hands of common street thugs, due to the effort involved and a community intention of keeping the items in good hands.

    An average Joe (or even a hot average Jill) posting a sex tape won't get any attention, the web's overloaded with amateur porn. Now, a celebrity or public figure, on the other hand...

    What's so bad about a big fat cock? I can understand how it might be inappropriate to present one in an office environment, but is it so bad to describe or even show a picture of a big fat cock?

    At least one girl has come up to her, squeezed her boobs and said she has big boobs.

    I see. Could you tell us more about this incident?

  14. Smart on Al Franken Calls for Tight Rules on Facial Recognition Software · · Score: 1

    A lot of people, and even more sadly a lot of politicians, don't realize that laws need to be updated to account for changes in technology. Often old laws rely on the technological limitations of the time when they were made, and new technologies shouldn't be allowed to effecively do an end-run around the spirit of the law. Privacy is often a casualty of these situations.

  15. If I'm a fan of anyone's packaging on Apple Gets the Importance of Packaging; Why Doesn't Google? · · Score: 2

    It's Nintendo's. Simple, minimalistic, 100% recycled, and humble. No fancy plastic trays, metallic emblems or anything. Just a simple, small, eco-friendly box. Mind you I haven't bought anything from them since the original DS.

    Hey now, if I lock a cat in a cage with some fun cat toys it won't even look at them, it will cry to be let out.

    Quick, somebody flesh that out on Conservapedia.

  18. Apple's packaging is very Apple-ish on Apple Gets the Importance of Packaging; Why Doesn't Google? · · Score: 2

    I remember setting up an iPad for my sister, the box wasn't particularly stupid or anything but what I remember is that there was a big void between the packaging where the iPad sits and the back of the box. I had to check to see if anything was back there before throwing it out, but this plastic tray the iPad sits in was glued and snapped into it. I pried it off anyways, took a good bit of force. What was back there? Nothing. It was like a trap for hackers, like leaving a puzzle box with nothing inside to mock our curiosity.

  19. Worst wrap-rage of my life: on Apple Gets the Importance of Packaging; Why Doesn't Google? · · Score: 1

    A GoPro camera. Took me about 15 minutes to open it, I had to find a tutorial on YouTube to show me how to do it. I could have just slashed away with a knife or tore into it savagely, but I was trying to open it without wrecking anything and there was no remotely intuitive way to do it. A lot of careful cutting and tearing is required.

    With the sheer number of books Asimov wrote on that theme I'd be shocked if that specific topic didn't come up at some point.

    Only geeks would watch robot/RC F1, this has been considered a long time ago. There's also the issue of money, make it too expensive and there will be less competitors, recently F1 has been working to effectively cap costs for this reason, and that's why you see the "low budget" (by F1 standards LOL) teams coming back now.

    This is why I don't even complain about IP blocking. So far it hasn't inconvenienced me in the slightest.

    Your arguments went all to shit at the point where you accused them of being copyright violators, it's all downhill from there. And you're doing at least a shitty of a job of migrating off Google services as I am, and I'm not even a Google hater.
