  1. Re:I'd still stick with DSL on Google Announces Plans, Pricing For Kansas City Fiber Network · · Score: 1

    The lowest tier with the google fiber connection is 5D/1U. It's in tiny print when you click on the plan.

    I never claimed you weren't an atheist, you dumbass. The point of what I said was to highlight how absurd the fictions that you believe are.

    this is true, I can dance/code circles around the phd's I'm working with. And I came out of an art school.

    You're just jealous since the PhDs can code dodecahedra around you.

    People only buy nVidia GPUs to play games on them

    That's not true at all.

  5. I have a solution: on Terminal Mixup Implicates TSA Agents In LAX Smuggling Plot · · Score: 0

    Obviously, we're not paying the TSA agents enough money to do their jobs. If we provided them with ample salaries, they would never resort to these underhanded methods to earn a little extra on the side. Problem solved. /s

    The actual question is why weren't you a responsible parent and with your son?

    If you'd been with your son they'd have sent him through with you and there'd have been no problem.

    And if the rape victim had not worn that dress, she would not have been raped. Right?

  7. Re:People are poorly informed fools on In Nothing We Trust · · Score: 0

    You replace the current crop of voters with a group that actually bothers to get informed and refuses to tow the party line, and you'll see things change real fast.

    The phrase is actually "toe the line" and not "tow the line." I just thought you might like to know, and it is not an attempt to invalidate your claim based on a mistake.

    Additionally, I think blaming the voters is akin to blaming the victim. Blaming the electorate is an easy way out when there are scores of other problems such as campaign contributions, the two party system, a heavily biased media ecosystem, voter disenfranchisement (e.g. requiring people to obtain IDs in order to vote to combat a non-existent voter fraud issue), etc.

    You know, you can be voted into office running for one party and switch to the other after you have won the election. How is that the voter's fault?

    Food from groceries is exempt from taxes in many areas, as is clothing below a certain amount.

    19 out of 50 of the states tax groceries and 40 out of 45 of the states that implement a sales tax do not exempt clothing.

  9. Re:What about external hazards? on TomTom Satnavs To Set Insurance Prices · · Score: 0

    Your personal sharp brake count can be compared to the average count of all drivers in the area.

    Your example only works once a statistically significant amount of drivers opt to install this system.

  10. Re:Nothing compared to Britain on Canada's Massive Public Traffic Surveillance System · · Score: -1

    Anyone of those can trigger the boys in blue to give you a tug.

    So if you don't insure your car you get free handjobs from authority figures? Man, why hasn't everyone moved to Great Britain by now?

  11. Re:They all do it. why just apple? on Some Critics Suggest Apple Boycott Over Chinese Working Conditions · · Score: 0

    Yeah, you always get put into for a justified reason (you didn't say justified, but by the tone of your post it's pretty well implied by you). Maybe you were busted under a sodomy law for having anal sex with your wife because some cop had it out for you. For that, you really ought to lose your rights and get paid jack shit for your work. Yep. Completely justified. Note: sodomy is no longer a felony, but it used to be and highlights how retarded it is to think that just because you're sent to prison you deserve it or it's right.

  14. Re:Why the hell was this research conducted at all on US Asks Scientists To Censor Reports To Prevent Terrorism · · Score: 0

    The idea behind the research was to try to find out what genetic changes might make the virus easier to transmit. That way, scientists would know how to identify changes in the naturally occurring virus that might be warning signals that it was developing pandemic potential.

    Forgot the rest of the quote.

    You know, if you read the article, you would might have understood what the scientists were doing. Do you know why? Because the fucking article says the purpose.

    You should have used a car analogy: I'm sure the original poster has a vehicle that is more fuel efficient than construction equipment; therefore, construction equipment is useless.

    Do you have to overclock your droid a significant amount in order to run any of the gingerbread distributions at a decent pace? I recently downgraded to CM6/Froyo because I was getting sick of the poor performance using any of the GB releases.

  19. Re:I've got nothing to hide except my face on Facial Recognition Gone Wrong · · Score: 0

    Why not read the article? If you had, it would be readily apparent to you that this system is comparing license pictures at the RMV to other license pictures at the RMV in order to detect similar pictures. This is being done to find multiple license issued to the same person for whatever reason. They're not snapping pictures of motorists in public and comparing them to a database.

  22. Roundabouts = Fewer Red Light Cameras on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 0

    I'm sure most cities are wary of roundabouts because it would mean a decrease in revenue; there would be fewer intersections in which to install those awesome, money making, red light cameras.

  23. Re:moronic proposition on Calling BS On Unpaid Internships · · Score: 0
    You let him take support phone calls and fix computers? Meaning you derived immediate advantage from the actions of the unpaid intern? I hope you know that you violated provisions regarding unpaid internships in the Fair Labor Standards Act.

    The employer provides the training and derives no immediate advantage from the activities of the student; and on occasion, the operations may actually be impeded by the training.

  24. Re:Why is some random guy's blog on Slashdot? on Calling BS On Unpaid Internships · · Score: 0

    Unpaid internships unfairly shut out people that can't afford to take them, that is, those of the poorer demographic. Also, companies hiring unpaid interns choose that route because they don't want to pay a salary or benefits; you're a complete fucking idiot if you think otherwise. In fact, it actually doesn't make sense to hire unpaid interns, because in order to classify someone as an unpaid intern, they can in no way benefit the company.

    Are you implying he used the word capitol incorrectly? The sentence is ambiguous in meaning, but I guess it wasn't likely that he meant people could not find or identify the capitol in the capital of their own state.
