  1. Re:Best gaming CPU = best single threaded performa on Intel Debuts 9th-Gen Core Chips, Including Core i9 and X-Series Parts, With a Few Twists (pcworld.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    More to the point, which current offering is the i7 2600K of years past (not too expensive and overclocks like crazy?)

    Amusingly enough, it's probably the 2nd-gen Ryzen5 2600X.

  2. Re:Great News on The UK is Practicing Cyberattacks That Could Black Out Moscow (qz.com) · · Score: 0
    So British Military "Intelligence" ineptly came up with a narrative involving Russian ineptitude that one has to be inept to even believe.

    And they say it's turtles all the way down.

  3. Re:Missing the point... on The UK is Practicing Cyberattacks That Could Black Out Moscow (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    there is no strategic advantage in telling everyone... therefore... it's probably not real.

    Bingo; in a fucking nutshell.

    Then there were those VR glasses, whatever happened to them? Did they ever come out?

    Nope, VR turned out to be a scam. Also, Hillary turned out to not actually be evil (go figure), Trump's apparently a nice guy, after all (it was just a show)... but Musk... well, the Model 3 is actually only 1/10th scale... and those SpaceX "launches" were rendered using the same analog computers at Wright-Patterson that were used to fake the moon landings.

    Any further questions?

    Where the hell have you been the past 30 years

    It makes perfect sense if you read the poster's name.

    Makes sense; arent't they half the taxpayer suckhole known as ULA?? At least they're smart enough to know they're screwed...

  7. Re:Old news much? on US Military Program Could Be Seen As a Bioweapon, Scientists Warn (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    I guess for there to be any chance that this is valid, it needs to be a fresh accusation... because there's no chance that alleged programs like this might have been in existence for a while.

    Either that, or you need to figure out what you were trying to imply.

  8. Re:NASA Brings billions of federal dollars in on A Shadowy Op-Ed Campaign Is Now Smearing SpaceX In Space Cities (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't like the idea of space travel becoming a rich man's club.

    Too bad NASA's shown that, with Congress at the wheel, it wasn't going to become anyone's club.

  9. I voted for Bush Jr. twice

    Don't feel bad; we can't all have above average (or even just average) intelligence.

  10. Re: Buy into our business model. on Apple CEO Tim Cook Says Giving Up Your Data For Better Services is 'a Bunch of Bunk' (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Google has never sold anyone's data

    Pretty impressive word-twisting, there; you should be in marketing or politics. However, you're likely quite wrong not only in spirit; the odds that Google hasn't sold raw metadata to various governments is less than nill.

    Apple you buy expensive hardware

    Shit, their hardware is cheap (in quality) and free (in price); it comes free with the purchase of their [extremely expensive] Operating Systems.

    (Unlike Cisco, Apple actually is a software company.)

  12. It was baby formula.

  13. Re: Why use the ice as fuel? on Lockheed Martin Unveils Plans For Huge Reusable Moon Lander For Astronauts (space.com) · · Score: 1

    No one's terraforming the moon... and pressurizing some caves doesn't count.

  14. Needing ~40tons of fuel to carry four people - and a ton of cargo - out of [a shallow gravity well]... it might as well just stay there.

    Perhaps Elon's people will be able to decorate it with Christmas lights.

    The fact that you think people function like computers is amusing... and revealing.

    Only these days?

    Technically, ever since the TLA's took over the media under COINTELPRO's Operation Mockingbird... but it's gotten a lot worse, and a lot more obvious.

    Do you think countries like North Korea would be above kidnapping the loved ones of someone holding that key and blackmail them so they don't get killed?

    Do you really think anyone would need to go to that much trouble?? This is the Internet we're talking about...

    Repeat after me:

    there are a lot more.

    It's not hard to avoid sounding like an inbred (and no one's even suggesting that you need to learn the pronunciation of more challenging words, such as "height" or "sherbet").

    Well, why doesn't the article say that, then?

    These days "journalism" is more akin to marketing - complete with all the lying.

  22. Re: California news is the only good USA news on California Governor Jerry Brown Signs a Bill That Bans Bots From Pretending To be Real People (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful
    Bullshit; California does so much that's wrong... that when they do something right (i.e. pass a law that says you can't program a device to fraudulently deceive someone), it fucking stands out.

    (Now go play in traffic - which I'm quite sure is illegal in California... so how dangerous can it be??)

  23. You mean that, like us, they've traded their family farms (and ability to feed themselves) for specialized jobs in the city... along with less space, less sunshine, more pollution and more stress.

    This 'devolution into a termite colony' is anything but progress.

  24. They've simply redefined "middle class" - it now means "serf too stupid to even it."

    Indeed, his rockets' and electric cars' complete and utter lack of any viability whatsoever are definitely a dead giveaway as to the state of his oh-so-obviously-inadequate state of mind...
