  1. Re:Screw it on Iran Plans To Unplug the Internet, Launch Its Own 'Clean' Alternative · · Score: 1

    With Quarans! And Burkhas!

  2. Re:Between that and Mercury thats "locked" in fill on Dental X-Rays Linked To Common Brain Tumor · · Score: 1

    Even if all the mercury leaks out of a filling over the course of a few days it won't harm you. It's not good for you, but you'll be fine.

  3. Article's a shocker on Jack Tramiel, Founder of Commodore Business Machines, Dies At Age 83 · · Score: 1

    Read the racist article in question. It starts out only very mildly racist (this is the "I'm totally not racist, but" section) and then once he gets to the numbered points, turns into a rocket-propelled rush to the top of Racist Mountain. Worth a read for entertainment value, your jaw will hit the floor at some of these points.

  4. Re:Everyone ignores Commodore on Jack Tramiel, Founder of Commodore Business Machines, Dies At Age 83 · · Score: 1

    And the GP post's moderation history reflects this as it is clear that Poe's law applies.

  5. Online records "hindenburg moment?" on Medicaid Hacked: Over 181,000 Records and 25,000 SSNs Stolen · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I wonder if at some point there will be a breach so bad that certain critical records will be moved to airgapped systems and never go back, just because of the horrible memory of that disaster.

  6. Re:Anonymous? on Anonymous Hacks UK Government Sites Over 'Draconian Surveillance' · · Score: 1

    That's like saying angry mobs are organized because they swarm together and speak in the same space.

  7. Re:Hmm on F-18 Fighter Jet Crashes Into Virginia Apartment Complex · · Score: 1

    I know that F-18s burn through an ungodly fraction of their fuel on takeoff, that sounds like both engines being used hard...

  8. Re:Hmm on F-18 Fighter Jet Crashes Into Virginia Apartment Complex · · Score: 1

    Also good for arctic offroading, it stays liquid at much lower temperatures than diesel.

  9. Re:Hmm on F-18 Fighter Jet Crashes Into Virginia Apartment Complex · · Score: 1

    Makes sense, they have more experience :-P

  10. Re:Incorrect citation on the summary on Egypt Banned Porn, But How Much of the Internet Is That? · · Score: 1

    I know you haven't been asleep since the Clinton presidency...

  11. Re:Bloody really?!?! Another one? on Plantronics Helps Make Remote Workers' Lives Easier (Video) · · Score: 2

    This is why CmdrTaco left.

  12. Re:Well... on MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030 · · Score: 1

    Yep credibility = 0. A relief to know that this study was conducted by madmen.

  13. Re:*sigh* Oh, Canada on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 1

    And the French were getting so uppity too, just seconds before they launched a far-right wingnut's serious run at office and then caught post-9/11 fever in the wake of a terrorist attack...tsk tsk...

  14. Cool hardware on Google Glasses Announced · · Score: 1

    ...but I'm not using it with the standard Google software for sure.

  15. Re:The law is overbroad and the courts will strike on Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal · · Score: 0

    Old news.

  16. Not posting my real name on the Internet... on Smearing Toddler Reputations Via Internet: Free Speech Or Extortion? · · Score: 1

    ...it's gonna pay off once this shit goes mainstream.

  17. Re:Take their self righteous ass off the internet on Mitch Altman Parts Ways With Maker Fair Over DARPA Grant · · Score: 1

    Well then why doesn't DARPA sponsor chilli cook-offs or drag racing? Seems to be mostly this hacking stuff with a big emphasis on object recognition and autonomous/unmanned vehicles...

  18. Re:Who cares on Instagram Debuts On Android · · Score: 0

    Hey don't mod me up too far, I was amending my own comment! :-P

  19. Re:Broadly true. on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: 1

    Oh dear I've triggered Poe's law again :-(

    I agree that the info should have been posted, but you can see why the Obama administration has worked against it, with the "disapproving Michelle Obama" photoshops already going around. It would have seriously irked right-wingers.

  20. Re:Broadly true. on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: 1

    Well right now calories and other nutrition information are displayed on most packaged foods and I'd expect some margin for error is allowed...doesn't seem to cause too much trouble.

    If anyone thought Solyndra was going to resolve "the environmental problems" they're an idiot. The Solyndra bailout was stupid at best, I won't deny that. It might have made some sense if tariffs had been put on imported solar panels *before* trying to bail out a company that was losing money at an alarming rate.

  21. Re:Broadly true. on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: 0

    Bill Maher's like the left-wing Rush Limbaugh from what I understand. An offensive troll and nutty as a fruitcake.

    Are anti-vacc'ers really so partisan? It seems odd that they'd support the party that pushes socialized medicine and isn't so big on individual liberty at the expense of public safety, although I will admit that "hippie-oriented" science denialists like your sister are pretty much always left-leaning...

  22. Re:Who cares on Instagram Debuts On Android · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Probably should have said "uncontrollably hosted" instead of just hosted. Nothing wrong if you're hosting it yourself, or at least understand the privacy and control implications of someone else hosting it.

  23. Who cares on Instagram Debuts On Android · · Score: 2, Informative

    Hosted, proprietary, social-media-based photo sharing is hardly news for nerds. We have FTP, SCP, HTTPS upload, and we know how to configure it TYVM.

  24. Re:Broadly true. on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: 4, Funny

    Great now we've got calorie denialists. Awesome.

  25. Re:Broadly true. on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    You can see why the Obama administration doesn't want this info posted in such prominent places. It would fit perfectly into the bizarro-world socialist version of 1984 playing out in every right-winger's head. 600 CALORIES IN THIS SERVING CITIZEN! CHOOSE WISELY, FOR ALL MUST SACRIFICE FOR OBAMACARE!
