  1. Re: nature will breed it out on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 1

    The problem isn't a shortage of gamer girls but rather a shortage of those willing to actually take care of themselves (of course, the opposite certainly holds true, as well: a shortage of healthy, attractive females who are into cerebral activities such as gaming, and aren't dumb, superficial cunts).

  2. "Wide" wheelbase, huh? on Apollo 15 Commander Talks About Developing and Driving Lunar Buggy · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Whoever came up with that choice phrase ought to stick to using words and phrases that they actually know the meaning of...

    Their average weight might be close to 3000lbs, though I suspect that would require larger numbers of deathtrap-mobiles (Fiat 500's, etc) than I'm seeing.

    Considering that even a Civic weighs close to 3,000 (and considering how many 4,000lb German sedans, 5,000lbs pickups and 6,000lb SUV'S I see on the roads), the median weight must surely be a lot greater...

  5. Re: Our own computers ... on Windows 10 the Last Version of Windows? Not So Fast. · · Score: 1

    THIS... is why I'm eagerly awaiting the [Last] Year of Windows on the Desktop. :)

  6. Re: Which architecture? on Russian Company Unveils Homegrown PC Chips · · Score: 2

    Were the early Elbrus chips reversed-engineered from designs used in American pinball machines or something?

  7. Re: They're right you bunch of freetards on FWD.us To Laid-Off Southern California Edison Workers: Boo-Hoo · · Score: 1

    Sorry if I upset yourworldview, here... but we've got fascism masquerading as both capitalism *and* socialism (albeit being a bit more discreet about it on the left, implying that conservatives are easier to fool than liberals... but anyone who's compared NPR to Fox "News" knows that). Perhaps you've gotten actual Libertarianism confused with the Koch Bro's astroturfed synthetic version? *Nothing* is as idealogically anti-Fascist as true Libertarianism.

  8. Re: overturn murder conviction? on Prison Messaging System JPay Withdraws Copyright Claims · · Score: 1

    He's clearly feeling cranky; perhaps he had planned an illicit rendezvous in a portapotty with a male staffer and when he got to the park, the ingrate was nowhere to be seen... ;)

  9. Re:Uh, only doubled? on US Switches Air Traffic Control To New Computer System · · Score: 1

    So how does a 40 year old computer system get replaced and only doubles the number of flights capable of being tracked?

    I believe a clue can be found in the following choice quote:

  10. Re: Thank god on Whoah, Small Spender! Steam Sets Limits For Users Who Spend Less Than $5 · · Score: 1

    That would quickly solve all of the problems caused by money, though, wouldn't it: if people with money to spend would stop feeling entitled to receive anything in return for it... :p

  11. Re: A first: We should follow Germany's lead on 'We the People' Petition To Revoke Scientology's Tax Exempt Status · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure it's eaten (and then puked back up) but my knowledge of the stuff is primarily derived from having watched Young Guns and The Doors twenty years ago (wasn't that mesc they were on, out in White Sands?) and having recently read a Jim Carey interview, so don't quote me on that.

  12. Re: Mass Murder on Turkish Hackers Target Vatican Website After Pope's Genocide Comment · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you but in public highschool ('91), i recall reading all about Westmoreland, the gulf of Tonkin, ho chi Minh and even Jane riding on an nva tank (what we *didn't* read about was Kennedy's resistance - and subsequent "removal" - the Golden Triangle, the cia/mafia's distribution of heroin in the inner cities during the height of the Civil Rights era, etc, etc... so I guess you're still more or less correct on a certain level). ;)

    Nice attempt to change the subject, dumbass; I guess providing proper rebuttals to his points was just a bit outside the range of your abilities? ;)
