  1. Smartlink? on Smart Racquets Could Transform Tennis · · Score: 1

    So this is basically Smartlink, but for tennis.

  2. How do I get clients like this? on Hacker Says He Could Access 70,000 Healthcare.Gov Records In 4 Minutes · · Score: 4, Funny

    I get between a few hundred and a few thousand USD for any given contract, and my clients actually expect their software to work. How does one go about getting this much money for a steaming pile of shit?

  3. Why do you want this job? on Blowing Up a Pointless Job Interview · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't, but no one will pay me for my real passion, which is being completely lazy and worthless, and I need money to survive.

  4. Came for a tutorial on How To Make 96,000lbs of WWII Machinery Into High-Tech Research Platform · · Score: 1

    Was disappointed.

  5. Re:Be friendlier to foreigners .... on NSA Drowns In Useless Data, Impeding Work, Former Employee Claims · · Score: 1

    What in the actual fuck does this have to do with the story? Did you even read the summary, or did you just pound out a generic "Murika hates brown people" comment when you saw "NSA" in the title?

  6. Obligatory on Could an Erasable Internet Kill Google? · · Score: 2
  7. Zealots will be zealots on Why Charles Stross Wants Bitcoin To Die In a Fire · · Score: 0

    The people I know that harp on about bitcoin all the time think every last one of these is a plus side. Tax evasion? Taxes are robbery anyway. Assassination markets? Some people deserve to have bounties on their heads. Deflationary currency? That's exactly how you want your currency to be!

    I find it very unlikely that this will dissuade anyone who thinks bitcoin is the bee's knees.

  8. But they couldn't foil... on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 1

    ...The plot to fuck up basic CSS on the article. Seriously, half the header is off the fucking page. I've seen better CSS on Geocities pages.

  9. "Bitcoin killer"? on JPMorgan Files Patent Application On 'Bitcoin Killer' · · Score: 1

    Besides Fox News's dumb ass, who said "bitcoin killer"? Why the hell would it be quoted if no one said it?

    Also, the rest of the article is clearly bullshit, but I'm pretty sure the comments above this one have already covered all the other ways in which the writer has failed.

  10. The StackOverflow map is useless on StackOverflow and Github Visualized As Cities · · Score: 3, Insightful

    It's just a bunch of grey pillars, some of which have avatars plastered on top. Even in query mode, all you can get are usernames. What is the significance of the clustering? How do the different tags affect it? With the lack of information provided, they could have actually just pulled this entire visualization out of their asses and it wouldn't have made a difference.

  11. Terrorism on Create Your Own Bullet Time Camera Rig With Raspberry Pi · · Score: 3, Funny

    It has the word "bullet" in it, and you can make it at home? Prepare to hear the sweet music of militarized cops breaching your front door.

  12. Of course it didn't on User Alleges LG TVs Phone Home With Your Viewing Habits · · Score: 4, Funny

    This file didn't really contain "midget porn" at all, I renamed it to make sure it had a unique filename that I could spot easily in the data and one that was unlikely to come from a broadcast source.

    Sure, whatever you say.

  13. This looks fucking horrible on Soylent: No Food For 30 Days · · Score: 1

    I enjoy eating food, and these assclowns are trying to replace the concept of food with nasty liquid. I consider this a direct assault on my person.

  14. Neat, now ditch the crap you added on on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    I'll be back when they fix the fucking talent point system ("hur hur, users can't keep track of more than 4 points total") and murder every last panda.

  15. How about when it's not in that list? on Protect Your Android Phone By Killing All Its Crapware · · Score: 1

    I got my phone from my provider (Sony Xperia something or other, if it matters), and it has garbage in my apps that doesn't even show up in the setup list.

  16. Re:Taiwan does it too on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    Your secret number is clearly 1337 anyway. Everyone knows that.

  17. Taiwan does it too on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 4, Funny

    Banks here make you login to your online account by using a card reader with your ATM card. And of course, that requires an ActiveX control. The Cathay Bank site itself looks like it hasn't changed design since 1996.

  18. Re:4^4 on Reprogrammed Bacterium Speaks New Language of Life · · Score: 2

    I see you didn't even make it through the summary. Good form.

  19. This is retarded on Fight Bicycle Theft With the Open Source Bike Registry · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If your bike is stolen by someone dumb enough to sell it as-is, this would work great. But most bike thieves dismantle it, shuffle the parts, repaint everything, and file those numbers off. How will a registry help you then?

  20. Re:Mororns can't figure out how to Internet. on GTA Online Runs Into an Online Roadblock · · Score: 3, Funny

    Calm down. Have a cookie.

  21. Looks like enough noise was made on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    According to the blog, the account has been unfrozen.

  22. Fuck your institutions on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    I have no obligation to sacrifice my child's well-being so that someone else may or may not benefit. My kids will go to the school that I believe will benefit them the most. If that's private school, then they're going to private school. And if that means contributing to the decline of public school, too fucking bad for public school. It's not my responsibility to save a failing institution.

  23. Re:Boxxy?! Oh nevermind... on Boxee Sold To Samsung · · Score: 1

    Yes, that certainly would have made this story more interesting, but no one was really dumb enough to assume that.

    Especially not me. I didn't come here to make that exact same comment before seeing yours. Cough.

  24. Maybe if they make it look less stupid on To Counter Widespread Surveillance, Stealth Clothing · · Score: 0

    I assume this is here because they assumed geeks would find it cool to look like a fucking shadow runner, but if you show up wearing that horse shit at a job interview anywhere other than Hot Topic, don't expect a call back.

  25. Depends on where you live on The $200,000 Software Developer · · Score: 2

    In Taiwan, I make about twice what the average person with an equivalent education level in a different field would make, but that's still way, way lower than $200000usd a year. Adjusting for the cost of living, I'm actually pretty well off, but this pay would suck in the US.
