  1. Re: It's for your good protection on Why the Swiss Still Love Cash (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The traditional jokes about the Swiss usually revolve around their love of chocolate and cows.

    You'd think the jokes would revolve around the fact that they tend to be the most arrogant and abrasive fucks in all of Europe... with good reason; they've got the best country on planet Earth.... but they're still abrasive fucks.

  2. ...and a two-digit IQ maximum.

  3. Re: 10 years in prison is excessive... on Student Used 'USB Killer' Device To Destroy $58,000 Worth of College Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Wholeheartedly agreed.

  4. Re: Why Record Videos of illegal activity? on Student Used 'USB Killer' Device To Destroy $58,000 Worth of College Computers (theverge.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    If you're going to do something stupid or better yet illegal, don't record yourself.

    "If you're going to do something stupid, do it intelligently?"

  5. ...an extremely damaging global class action suit.

    In "Global Civil Court," no doubt.

    Get twice the PR

    Don't fool yourself; there is such a thing as bad publicity... and all that you need to achieve it is to hire the sort of morons that clearly run Pepsi.

    Then again, I'm not quite sure how the soft drink industry is supposed to grow their 'Sales of Slurm' (as per Wall Street's expectations) without pulling something out of their ass.

    Did you hear about how the 'high-rise demolition' industry went bankrupt after the world figured out that you can bring down the world's tallest buildings in fifteen minutes flat using nothing more than a few thousand dollars worth of kerosene??

    Neither did I but thanks for playing. ;)

    ...countrymen, that is to say.

  9. Re: Mr. Gou on Foxconn Chairman Terry Gou To Run For President of Taiwan (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    So you want to sell out Taiwan to your masters in the Chinese Communist Party.

    Worse, the sleaze claims that his justification was the 'Formosan Sea Goddess' or some such appearing in a dream: he clearly believes that his country are even dumber than him and that's saying something.

  10. Re: Hackers vs Old Regimes on Cyberspies Hijacked the Internet Domains of Entire Countries (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Today -- its like its all been erased from the internet. In its place is a lot of relatively lame crap that makes Quantum hacking look "impossible".

    Conclusion: the available of actual "quantum code-breaking tech" will not be televised.

  11. As for what sort of marketable features that they wouldn't be willing to include, I came up with the following:

    clit/nipple stimulator (should be easy to utilize existing hardware)

    100w green laser

    .17 HMR with twelve-round capacity

  12. PEBKAC?

    Can't even make an "orange idiot" joke without pissing off some wannabe "conservative" who's apparently determined to act just like an intellectually-underequipped and oversensitive liberal.

    What's an objective independent to do except tell 'em all to suck a dick. ;)

  14. Modded down for a rational and *self-evident* but nonetheless politically-incorrect observation... in this day and age??

    Will wonders never fucking cease... ;)

  15. Quick; say something stupid.

    They're past that; they're making Presidents now. ;)

    I used to game on huge Mitsubishi MegaView CRT's that I found on eBay for pennies on the dollar. Wait ~12 years and you might just get your chance.

  18. Re: Don't think I'd trust the software on VW Says China To Become Global Software Development Hub For Autonomous Tech (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    especially if you allow yourself to be distracted from what really matters by non issues like immigrant caravans/flotillas supposedly coming to destroy your christian conservative civilisation.

    I like your projection: totally original; not at all derived from echo-chamber talking points...

  19. Re: Another successful program doomed to be forgot on LeBron James' STEM-Based School Is Showing Promise (goodnewsnetwork.org) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Is that a passive-aggressive way to communicate that you don't like the parent's post but can't find anything in it to actually argue with??

  20. hate speech

    Pardon me but I have little patience for those who complacently spew propaganda. I believe you "meant" to say was "hateful speech" - in other words... speech.

  21. Re: a legitimate concern.. on Russia Adopts Bill That Would Expand Government Control Over the Internet (go.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be naive not to expect the US to break the internet on purpose

    And it'd be even more naive not to expect the US to keep it working... after all, it's only the most useful propaganda and intel-collection tool ever made.

    You can't even finish sentences now?

    Obviously it'd be even better if Msmash wouldn't even start a sentence... but I'm sure we're grateful for what we can get.

  23. Human history is full of societies who have recognized additional genders outside of a simple male/female dichotomy.

    That's a good one!

  25. Re: "Solars dangerous" - lying idiot, fall off a r on Fukushima: the Removal of Nuclear Fuel Rods From Damaged Reactor Building Begins (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Nuclear is probably the only way if we want to reduce the amount of CO2 we release per year while not reducing our energy-needs.

    Unfortunately, this: one need not like fission (it gives me the creeps) but the above observation simply can't be argued with.
