  1. Re: It won't matter what Comey says on Comey Denies Clinton Email 'Reddit' Cover-Up (politico.com) · · Score: 1, Redundant
    Conspiracies... we certainly know we can't have those.

    Apropos username, BTW.

  2. Not to mention machining technology... let's just hope Toshiba doesn't decide to sell the Russkies a cutting-edge milling machine so that they can make drone propellers that don't cavitate...

  3. Re: Misleading Title on UK's Top Police Warn That Modding Games May Turn Kids into Hackers (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Learning how to beat the system doesn't always imply criminality.

    Then perhaps you shouldn't have used an example that does. ;)

  4. Re:Slime-balls on Kentucky's Shotgun 'Drone Slayer' Gets Sued Again (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    That's why, for centuries, people have been intelligently deploying ... curtains on their windows.

    There are also valid reasons why, for decades, people have been intelligently deploying... number six bird shot (out to forty meters or so).

    Now you can add another. ;)

  5. Re: Actually, idiots are always a loud minority. on Oculus Founder Palmer Luckey Is Secretly Funding Trump's Meme Machine (thedailybeast.com) · · Score: 1

    What the wast majority are is being uninformed. I.e. Uneducated.

    If they had the info, they largely lack the reasoning skills to make any sense of it.

  6. Awesome!!! on macOS Sierra Is Now Available For Download (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Can I leave UEFI enabled or do I need to set my BIOS boot mode to legacy/CMS??

  7. Re: This is my shocked face on China Confirms Its Space Station Is Falling Back to Earth (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 1

    The Chinese were manufacturing reliable kitchen appliances thirty years ago? Not so sure about that - check the back; bet it says made in Korea or Japan on the back.

  8. Re:It can't come soon enough... on US Regulators Issue Comprehensive Policy On Self-Driving Cars (vox.com) · · Score: 0

    Wow, look at all the up-modded yet technically-clueless posts from UserID's whom we've rarely (if ever) seen before; what a fucking shocker...

  9. Re:Cool, and no 4K content on 4K UHD TVs Are Being Adopted Faster Than HDTVs (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    ...since my TVs last somewhere from 5 to 10 years

    You're in for a disappointment; these aren't plasmas...

  10. Re:Wacky? Maybe, but at least he's got vision. on Elon Musk Scales Up His Ambitions, Considering Going 'Well Beyond' Mars (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Posted anonymously; nice qualifier. ;)

  11. Re:No no no. on Ask Slashdot: How Do You Build Your Own Vacuum Tubes? · · Score: 1

    Metallica? Tube amps.

    Wait, I thought tube amps were good...

  12. Re:So much for being useful for music on Apple Explores the Idea Of Killing Headphone Jack On the MacBook Pro (thenextweb.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're serious about audio you're already using an offboard USB DAC

    Or optical S/PDIF, if you're not partial to jitter...

  13. I'd ask where you're using your phone but I'm afraid you'd tell me.

  14. Or just not an idiot...

  15. Re: Accept returns there on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    And this would make them more money how, exactly?

  16. Re: Returns! on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    You won't as that would obviously require more than three to five hundred square feet of retail space...

  17. Re: Biggest effect will be on nearby Best Buys on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The worst walmart does is try to sell you an air filter or some kind of engine cleaning fluid when you don't need either,

    Incorrect. The worst they will do is hire someone who either fails to make sure your oil drain plug is screwed-in all the way or else strips the threads.

  18. Re: Biggest effect will be on nearby Best Buys on Amazon Will Open 100 Retail Stores (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 1

    Funny, your estimate just went up by twenty-five bucks. So which is it?

    Please don't reply to yourself. Thanks!

  20. Re: Ridiculous on Steve Wozniak May Swap His Tesla For A Chevy Bolt (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    You forgot to point out that the Porsche Mission E hasn't killed anyone yet, either.

  21. Re: Once again! on Dutchman Dies in Tesla Crash; Firefighters Feared Electrocution (reuters.com) · · Score: 0

    Volvo 240s had a lower death rate by number and miles driven during its production years than any other can on the road, including Tesla.

    I have as much respect for those cars as anybody but quit making shit up.

    I don't know about your bosses, dumbass, but I certainly expect better shilling for my tax dollars.

    Well, I found Cricket's max of 8mb/s to be preferable to 26.4kb/s dial-up.

    Anything else I can answer for you?? ;)

  24. Re: Wireless Headphones on Many Looking Past iPhone 7 to Next Year's iPhone 8 (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Stereo bluetooth sounds like crap. It's adequate if you're listening to music in a noisy environment

    If you're not using A2DP Lossless, you're doing it wrong.
