  1. Re:It's not a recruiting problem on USAF Cuts Drone Flights As Stress Drives Off Operators · · Score: 1

    Ironic how that flying armored tractor is still as modern as they come, in terms of capability...

    Thanks for your post, Bill; I appreciate the effort you put into articulating this and I suspect many others will, as well.

  3. Re:So let me get this straight.... on Uber Drivers Are Employees, Not Contractors, Says California Labor Commission · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Dunno but it sure as fuck doesn't mean that Fox New reporters are journalists. ;)

    This is exactly why I refer to fundamentalist christians (who tend to be rather un-Christ-like, hence the lowercase "c") as the "American Taliban."

  5. Re: They just want people that can BS through the on The Danger of Picking a Major Based On Where the Jobs Are · · Score: 1

    Goddamn; excellent advice.

    Being charismatic, confident, well-spoken, intelligent, funny and easy-going... let's just say these go a long way, as well.

    So you're quite sure that haggis doesn't cause gas?

    Hence the forthcoming MHL input...

    Cross Communications (hick/inbred regional telco ~1hr southeast of Tulsa) used to pull this same shitty stunt on their incredibly-crappy "unlimited" 3G service.. .

    We weren't going to ask but now that you mention it...

  12. Re: Wow on North Korea Blocks Data Access For Foreigners · · Score: 1

    Apparently someone at the hotel was caught downloading a kimchee recipe from a South Korean IP address (there are cultural protections in place for a reason ).

  13. What about Carly Fiorina? on Woz To Be Immortalized In Wax · · Score: 4, Funny

    What about Carly Fiorina? I mean, the whole point of a wax museum is to give people the creeps, right??

    Speaking of compromised... surely you have other /. accounts you can use? :p

    This shit is big-time; keep logic out of it.

    It's an observation you might not agree with (perhaps because you haven't heard it articulated as concensus) but that hardly makes it wrong; a "proper tablet" in this day and age should certainly *not* require the use of a fan.

  17. Re: The iPad Has Plenty of Horsepower on Surface Pro 3 Handily Outperforms iPad Air 2 and Nexus 9 · · Score: 1

    Well, if we're going to get that deep into car analogies, all I can say is that that torque-to-weight ratio would be phenomenal... but you'd need to load down the front (*not* the rear, Hollywood; are you listening?!) with thousands of pounds of gold bars to get any traction... ;)

    Huh, I wonder who the bleeding anus was who modded this down... 'cause speaking as someone* with over thirty years' technical experience with Winblows (yeah, MCSE here; blah blah blah), *i* I certainly consider it to be the single most important question that could be asked.

    *Think of me as the proverbial Chevy mechanic; so thoroughly familiar with the quality of GM products that I've got a Toyota parked in the driveway... ;)

    Right... because the laws of physics prevent the government from implementing fascist checkpoints at train stations.

    Actually, while Volvos were known for being some of the safest cars on the road during the 80's, one of the ways they achieved this was through aggressive use of crumple - zones [that would often render the car completely worthless after a fairly low-speed impact].
