  1. Re:Nice on Apple CEO Likens Surface To Car That Flies, Floats · · Score: 1

    Geeks/nerds are not generally considered to be terribly 'macho', at least not when compared to testicle-thinking, grunting and chest beating high-school jocks

    Obviously you haven't been any reading of the gun threads on here, you'd think it was a Rambo fansite...

  2. Re: Unlike hallucinations, delusions are always pa on Dr. Richard Dawkins On Education, 'Innocence of Muslims,' and Rep. Paul Broun · · Score: 1

    Believing in something that it is possible to prove isn't delusional. If you believe in something which is utterly impossible to prove, and in fact hugely unlikely to be true, is rather delusional.

    Delusion: a false belief or opinion: delusions of grandeur.

  3. Re:Extrapolating on Android Will Surpass Windows By 2016, Say Gartner Stats · · Score: 1

    I've met one person with a windows smartphone (2 if you count WinMo6!) so the real world has something to say about your 10% estimate...

    I hear there's this magical invention these days called "search". Try looking it up on the google.

    What are you revving, it sounds like a cinquecento.

  6. Re:One or the other on Bill Gates Talks Windows Future, Touch Interfaces · · Score: 1

    Maybe they just didn't have greasy faces?

  7. Re:Like Apple? on Bill Gates Talks Windows Future, Touch Interfaces · · Score: 1

    But they were first to the market with an iPhone which was the first user friendly smart phone. Yes I had many smart phones, they were all terrible at web/email the apps were awful and inconsistent across devices and Apple finally broke the carriers down on data pricing.

  8. Re:Blame the victim much on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 1

    Like when you arm yourself, pursue someone then kill them?

    Those poor put upon white folks, will the discrimination ever end? First they had to give up their slaves, now this!

    What happens when two people stand their ground? Answer: stupidity.

  11. Re:If AMD Dies... on Is Qualcomm the New AMD? · · Score: 1

    1. - You don't have to be competitive if you have managed to obtain a monopoly...

    2 - You obviously don't remember the days when Netscape was the best browser out there.

  12. Re:Democratic society without religion? on Ask Richard Dawkins About Evolution, Religion, and Science Education · · Score: 1

    In what nightmare do you want us to live, where the lives of tiny children can be snuffed out for the convenience of those that are too stupid to properly use birth control?

    Or maybe the nightmare world where people are too stupid to understand that nothing is perfect? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_birth_control_methods#Comparison_table

    Sorry, obviously you believe he did it because he's a bad man and he was meant to be a bad man by fate. If we meet in future I'll remember to try talk to you as I would my 3 year old.

  14. Re:Self-stabilizing system on Iran Running Out of Physical Currency, Satellite Broadcasts Dropped in Europe · · Score: 1

    I suspect from your lack of adequate capitalisation that you're becoming slightly unhinged. If you gave me a knife, spent millions teaching me psychological warfare tactics, put me in a position of power entirely based on being a "heroic freedom fighter" then left me to stew for a while, you shouldn't really be surprised if I start stabbing people to maintain the illusion.

  15. Re:Self-stabilizing system on Iran Running Out of Physical Currency, Satellite Broadcasts Dropped in Europe · · Score: 1

    No according to my logic your straw man hypothetical hyperbole is due to external influences, like feeling intellectually belittled,leading to you attacking me in a needlessly aggressive fashion. Don't worry, it's not your fault, maybe the CIA shouldn't have armed you and taught you gorilla warfare.

  16. Re:Self-stabilizing system on Iran Running Out of Physical Currency, Satellite Broadcasts Dropped in Europe · · Score: 1

    Are thoughts and motivations free of external influence in your opinion?

  19. Re:Why? on ARM-Based Chromebooks Ready To Battle Windows 8, Tablets · · Score: 1

    Have you tried searching amazong for tablet keyboard? There's a pretty good selection of keyboards in the 7-12$ range. Of course you might want to pay 120$ to get one for Surface.

    How could Iran dare cause an existential threat to those peaceful Israelis, it beggars the mind,

    Your comment is funny because despite your rampant racism you probably have the kids college fund in a place that was recently "blown up" by a bunch of deranged fuckers with the flick of a switch.

  24. Re:Self-stabilizing system on Iran Running Out of Physical Currency, Satellite Broadcasts Dropped in Europe · · Score: 1

    A book I've been reading recently "Secret History of Chemical Warfare" has some very interesting points regarding "expediency". I'd recommend you rad it if history of conflict is your thing.

  25. Re:Self-stabilizing system on Iran Running Out of Physical Currency, Satellite Broadcasts Dropped in Europe · · Score: 1

    Look: the USA did plenty of evil in the Cold War. So did the USSR. Why can't we creatively explain Bin Laden as the fault of Putin and Moscow? Isn't it that he was fighting the USSR in the 1980s?

    Or America for training and arming and him? Maybe you should have invaded yourself?
