    Are you from Saudi Arabia?

  2. The evil plan on Google Launches a Marketplace To Buy Patents From Interested Sellers · · Score: 3, Funny

    And in ten years Google hits whole industry with massive patent attack.

  3. Re:tax unhealthy choices on Robots Step Into the Backbreaking Agricultural Work That Immigrants Won't Do · · Score: 2

    How exactly did you get from 'do it on your own dime' to 'i want a dime every time you do it'?

  4. Re:better idea on UN To Debate Lethal Autonomous Weapons · · Score: 1

    While we have plenty of oil in the world, cheap oil is rapidly running out..

    You would be more convincing, if oil price has not dropped 50% in last months.

  5. Re:Linux only, as usual. on 'Let's Encrypt' Project Strives To Make Encryption Simple · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should try one of countless apple fanboi sites.

  6. Re:Warning!!! on 'Let's Encrypt' Project Strives To Make Encryption Simple · · Score: 2

    Don't worry, all the founders of 'lets encrypt' are entities based in USA, so you can bet private keys of each issued certificate will be delivered to appropriate authorities.

  7. Re:Poor testers! on Study: Smartphones Just As Good As Fitness Trackers For Counting Steps · · Score: 1

    They were typical fitness app users, who take a lot of time on their devices, apps, posting to facebook but little on actual physical activity.

  8. We do listen to users on Systemd's Lennart Poettering: 'We Do Listen To Users' · · Score: 1

  9. Re: So... on Google Fund To Pay For 1 Million Copies of Charlie Hebdo · · Score: 1

    Is this some reference to age of Mohammed's bride? If yes, then you are off by several years - he married Aisha when she was six and started fucking her three years later.

  10. Put the blame where it belongs on Is Kitkat Killing Lollipop Uptake? · · Score: 1

    No, vendors and carries dragging their feet as usual is what kills Lollipop. Like my good old HTC One S which stopped receiving updates after a year from release.

  11. Re:It would do them good. on US Army Could Waive Combat Training For Hackers · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Hackers seem to come it two shapes: grossly overweight, constantly snacking one and skinny kid looking like bag of bones. The second type could be brought up to speed in relatively short time (2-3 months of quite light exercise) - they might even like it. But the first kind ... just forget it.

  12. Re:Why not as civilians? on US Army Could Waive Combat Training For Hackers · · Score: 5, Interesting

    They can be under much tighter control while in uniform. For example civilian is allowed to say 'no' without legal problems.

  13. Re:Security? on NASA 'Emails' a Socket Wrench To the ISS · · Score: 1

    Right. Better send some CIA agents to foil this fiendish plot. Not sure what plot it is, but if they torture Russians enough, they will surely confess to something.

  14. That's exactly what we need on DOJ Launches New Cybercrime Unit, Claims Privacy Top Priority · · Score: 2

    - Wait, what? I just had to read is slowly because I forgot my glasses
    - To cancel, just look at rectangle with Cancel printed inside within next 2s ...
    - Cancel, cancel, where the hell is it?!
    - This will be $1500. Thank you for using our new subconscious menu!

  16. Re:could be easy on Twitter Should Use Random Sample Voting For Abuse Reports · · Score: 1

    First rule of crowd moderation: flagging as abusive/trolling/offtopic will be used as 'I don't agree'.

  17. Re:Great on UK Announces 'Google Tax' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Automation doesn't destroy jobs, it increases the amount of goods that a single worker can produce, making everyone richer..

    Except for the worker who gets fired.

  18. Re:That's one big bill! on How the Rollout of 5G Will Change Everything · · Score: 1

    Why would you write anything? With this speed you can just keep redownloading.

  19. Re:Hmmmm. on BT Blocking Private Torrent Sites? · · Score: 5, Funny

    There are other countries outside USA? Impossible.

  20. Re: Developing on About 40% of World Population Online, 90% of Offliners In Developing Countries · · Score: 0

    Look kids, SJW bot that runs his potty mouth as soon as he encounters a trigger word.
    Of course developing countries are better off, that's the whole damn point of developing. The question is if the report, in the name of appeasing PC morons like you, also included self-destructing countries like Central Africa Republic and Somalia in the same group, which would likely skew the numbers badly.

  21. Do they actually mean developing like "less developed than west Europe, but catching up" or is it just polite euphemism for third-world shitholes that are actually worse than in colonial times?

  22. Re:Legal Issue on NASA Offering Contracts To Encourage Asteroid Mining · · Score: 1

    I suspect that if I did, somebody would be stopping me. Most probably US government.

    "Idiots, idiots everywhere" is the message I am getting.

  25. Re:Bullshit Stats. on As Amazon Grows In Seattle, Pay Equity For Women Declines · · Score: 1

    Well documented differences between male and female brain. Distinct differences are visible in fetus at about 26 week of pregnancy - this is driven by different hormonal levels which is again well known difference and accounts for quite a lot of physical and behavioural changes.
