  1. Ya don't say on Destructive KillDisk Malware Turns Into Ransomware (securityweek.com) · · Score: 1

    Thank you, experts, for informing us that the type of people targeted by a demand for a rather large amount of money are those with deep pockets. I thought they were hitting up low income housing for $210k just to be assholes.

  2. How to stop being taken seriously: a simple guide on Top Spotify Lawyer: Attracting Pirates is in Our DNA (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    Just say "DNA" when referring to your company, as though it was a living thing. People will see that, assume you're being a pretentious, ignorant twat, and immediately disregard everything else you have to say.

  3. Re:One additional symptom on How Social Isolation Is Killing Us (nymag.com) · · Score: 2

    "Someone disagrees with my point of view. That means they're in denial."

  4. Random jackass whines about nonsense on David Pogue Calls Out 18 Sites For Failing His Space-Bar Scrolling Test (yahoo.com) · · Score: 0, Troll

    Who gives a shit? That's not actually what the spacebar is supposed to do in the first place. Besides, we already have the page down key.

  5. Just stop on Teenagers In Macedonia Launch Fake Pro-Trump Sites To Earn Money (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    If it's from buzzfeed, it's trash. I'm very comfortable using an absolute here, because even if it's verifiable and posted on other sites, buzzfeed will find a way to fuck it all up.

  6. I couldn't think of anything I gave less of a shit about when I heard that some group of retards was calling a cartoon frog that made funny faces racist, and then this bullshit came up. Can we just stop talking about them forever? They are not, have never, and will never have any meaningful impact on anything. Their ideas are stupid and pointless. Just forget they exist and they really will cease to exist.

  7. BeauHD's machine learning algorithm fucked up.

  8. Just like the last time it was reported, no, no it's not being flagged. Just stop it with this crap. It wasn't funny the first time.

  9. This is what I get for reading the article on 92% of the World's Population Exposed To Unsafe Levels of Air Pollution: WHO (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    "Click to enlarge"

    *Clicks on image of heat map, causing a modal to pop up with a -smaller- image of the map.*

    Come on, guys. This isn't rocket science.

  10. Don't shoehorn the name of the website in at the end of the title. The way it's written, it looks like "Yonhap News Agency" is the name of the phone.

  11. That's mildly infuriating on New Linux Trojan Is A DDoS Tool, a Bitcoin Miner, and Web Ransomware (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    A trojan that targeted Drupal sites on Linux servers last May that was incredibly simplistic and laughable in its attempt to install (and fail) web ransomware on compromised websites

    Let's go ahead and fix that:

    A trojan that targeted Drupal sites on Linux servers last May that was incredibly simplistic and laughable in its attempt (and failure) to install web ransomware on compromised websites

    Much better.

  12. Can we please have titles written by adults? on Want To Hunt Bank Robbers? There's an App For That, Says The FBI (networkworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Trying to be cute with an article title appeals only to the lowest common denominator.

  13. I've tried doing some research on this, and didn't come up with anything substantial. What is the practical purpose of a smart electrical socket?

  14. Okay, but... on Skype For Windows Phone Will Stop Working in 2017 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    ...when will it start working?

  15. Are you five years old? Use real words if you want to be taken seriously.

  16. I take it back on Emirati Man Gets 3-Month Prison Sentence Over Instagram Insult (go.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Before I said that BeauHD had apparently stopped being a retard who linked unrelated bullshit at the end of a summary, but apparently that's just not true.

  17. Did this editor finally clean up his/her/its act? on Sega Saturn's DRM Cracked Almost 23 Years After Launch (gamasutra.com) · · Score: 1

    When I saw BeauHD had posted this, I expected a link to some unrelated Apple bullshit at the end of the summary.

  18. That was almost scary on Hacker Finds Bug to Edit or Delete Any Medium Post (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    For a moment there, I thought he'd found a way to delete a post from any medium. That would have been a whole lot worse.

  19. What? on Facebook Decides Which Killings We're Allowed to See · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Facebook is not the entire internet. Facebook is not even a significant percentage of the entire internet. It's also free to make up whatever the fuck it wants for rules. You're also free to choose whether or not to use it. Hell, you can use it and, brace yourselves now, also use other websites. I'll wait for your head to stop spinning.

  20. Stop with the cute article titles on UN Council: Seriously, Nations, Stop Switching Off the Internet! (article19.org) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If your article has a cute title, I instantly lose respect for everyone involved. Be professional if you want to be taken seriously.

  21. I guess "terror" is more exciting than reality on 2 Million-Person Terror Database Leaked Online (thestack.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful
    Title:

    2 Million-Person Terror Database Leaked Online

    Summary:

    2.2 million records of people with suspected terrorist, organized crime, and corruption links

    I'm going to go out on a limb and say there aren't really two million people with terrorist links in that database.

  22. This article is trying way too hard to be cute on It's Happening: A Robot Escaped a Lab In Russia and Made a Dash For Freedom (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess when the actual news content (and quite frankly, I think I'm being generous by even calling it that) is a paragraph at most, you have to fill your article with a bunch of bullshit.

  23. Is there some reason this is here? on Alienware Launches Laptop With QHD OLED Display After 20 Years of Business (hothardware.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Usually when you guys post advertisements, you try to pretend it's news, but it seems like you've dropped all pretense on this one.

  24. Someone used a phone! To make a call! Holy shit, you guys! I don't think you understand how important this is! Fuck off.

  25. Re:Obligatory XKCD on Password Autocorrect Without Compromising Security (threatpost.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not even related to the article, except that they both have the word "password".
