  1. Re:some one connected to monoplysoft? on Kinect Creators To Make PC Controller · · Score: 1

    What kind of world do you live in where programmers hate a device because it's only supported on the OS that nearly everyone uses? And where Windows gets last priority treatment from ASUS? What the fuck?

  2. Re:How is this any different than my alarm clock? on Using Technology To Enforce Good Behavior · · Score: 1

    Same with everything else mentioned in the summary, I'd assume. Your point?

  3. Re:30 minutes to recharge, every 52 miles? on South Korea Launches First Electric Bus Fleet · · Score: 2

    What kind of buses do you take? Is there a freeway circling around downtown, where a single bus cruises at a constant 62 miles per hour? And passengers are catapulted from the city into the bus and vice versa?

  5. Re:Oh the irony... on Skype Outage Hits Users Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Right, and computers break down much more often than typewriters, but at some point you have to ask yourself if your SLA can handle it and whether the benefits are worth it.

    Only if you don't understand the definition of a placebo.

  7. Re:Oh the irony... on Skype Outage Hits Users Worldwide · · Score: 1

    Genuinely interested into whether or not the outage today caused your boss and his boss to give up on Skype or whether they're intelligent enough to understand that these kind of outages are rare. Keep us posted if you don't mind :)

    Yeah, they've been trying to bruteforce my RSA key for a while now. Oops.

  10. Re:What are they going to do about it? on One Giant Cargo Ship Pollutes As Much As 50M Cars · · Score: 1

    Hey,

    I somehow had the interest to look at your resume. Impressive. Unfortunately I'm not an employer, but I found a tiny mistake: "Learned new complex cryptography APIs an implemented software on top of them." and figured I'd let you know.

    Have a nice day!

    Your summary of what happened is more interesting than this whole article. Thanks.

    Yes, but it is a bad dialog I admit.

    I am myself, above you. Keep cowering.

    Then don't watch it in 3d? A lot of movies give you that choice.

  15. Re:Bland wedding food. on Background Noise Affects Taste of Foods · · Score: 1

    You don't have to dump a ton of salt over everything either, even if you make a good point. But I wouldn't want to live in a world where there's no salt, no pepper, no spices, just because you want the natural taste.

  16. Re:Bland wedding food. on Background Noise Affects Taste of Foods · · Score: 1

    Maybe I want my food to taste better and can exercise. Ever thought of that?

    And ironically, they released it on April Fools so some ignorant people believed it wasn't true and ridiculed others who knew the actual proof.

    what do you believe i failed to comprehend? you're an idiot.

    we're both talking about your determinations and the fact that you're an ignorant coward who refuses to claim their given name and current address.

    Nope, I'm not. Sorry. Doubt it's your address either, unless you're really that poor.

    It's not that it is hard, it's that for most people, it's completely unnecessary. Using a completely different and less than obvious operating system just so they can log in to Facebook? If you did that and explained it to your non-geek friends you'd probably get laughed that. Hell, I'm a geek and I wouldn't even do it because I really don't care that much about my Facebook account.

    And that doing the simpliest things ever. Now imagine the harder stuff (NoScript and properly allowing only legit sites, checking SSL fingerprints, looking for proper CA information in case your network admin decides to sign gmail.com with his own CA that your domain trusts at work, etc.)

    It becomes increasingly hard for a non-geeky user to do all this.

    I'm still debating on further course of action. I haven't determined if you are mentally ill or not yet.
