  1. Re:Wrong on Chinese Government Moves To Crack Down On Puns · · Score: 1

    The news I got was from Taiwan, so we might not have the same sources. However, all the English articles I've seen either imply or directly state that it's a full on crackdown on everyone - no puns for any reason.

  2. Wrong on Chinese Government Moves To Crack Down On Puns · · Score: 1

    China isn't banning puns. They're disallowing news anchors from using them during broadcasts, specifically public media. But that's not fear mongering enough, so of course that's not how it got picked up.

  3. Enough on Mathematical Trick Helps Smash Record For the Largest Quantum Factorization · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The clickbait joke reply wasn't funny the first time it was posted. It didn't suddenly become funny after the third time, or any time thereafter.

  4. Why does anyone care about gender for this? on DOOM 3DO Source Released On Github · · Score: 1

    Seriously, it's fucking source code. I don't care if the dev identifies as a man, woman, or plant. That doesn't make it any better or worse.

  5. Shitty summary on Creative Commons To Pass One Billion Licensed Works In 2015 · · Score: 1

    "But measuring the size of the commons has always been a challenge. Until now..."

    And why is that? What changed? Reading the article, it seems like the answer is, "We finally bothered to check."

  6. BT? Sky? on BT Blocking Private Torrent Sites? · · Score: 2

    What the fuck are these things? Am I supposed to know software/brand/product/service names off the top of my head?

  7. Re:shortsighted on Slack Now Letting Employers Tap Workers' Private Chats · · Score: 1

    Never heard of it.

  8. Ugly as shit on Here's What Your Car Could Look Like In 2030 · · Score: 1

    And this is supposed to be from a design company? I think I'll just walk.

  9. What's the point of his rant? on HTML5: It's Already Everywhere, Even In Mobile · · Score: 1

    "Already"? HTML5 has been around for a really long time. Web devs who try to desperately hold onto flash have been losing clients for years.

    Unless, of course, this article was meant to draw attention to Tom Dale (because obviously he needs more attention), and two shitty articles about idiots thinking that web is dead. If that's the case, carry on.

  10. Re:Sexism only cuts one way. on Sweden Considers Adding "Sexism" Ratings To Video Games · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What's frightening about your comment is that it's hard to tell if you're joking or not.

  11. Edit more on Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17 · · Score: 1

    Alleged Satellite Photo Says Ukraine Shootdown of MH17

    What?

  12. Yeah, that looks anonymous. on After Silk Road 2.0 Bust, Eyes Turn To 'Untouchable' Decentralized Market · · Score: 0

    You're connecting directly to people's IP addresses! For fuck's sake, guys! Are you even trying to make it anonymous anymore?

  13. Trying to wrap my head around this on Terrorists Used False DMCA Claims To Get Personal Data of Anti-Islamic Youtuber · · Score: 5, Informative

    So someone submits a false DMCA, and Youtube accepted this without requiring any proof. They then forced the youtuber to provide proof that it wasn't a copyright violation. They then provided said youtuber's personal information to the person submitting a false DMCA.

    What in the actual fuck?

  14. Re:super user on Dangerous Vulnerability Fixed In Wget · · Score: 1

    I run everything as root because YOLO. I'm not gonna be guessing perms and retyping commands, son. I got shit to do.

  15. Clickbait harder on The Most Highly Cited Scientific Papers of All Time · · Score: 0

    The summary reads like it was written by Buzzfeed. It's also a top 100 list. Hovering over the link, it appears to be nature.com, but I'm going to err on the side of caution and not click on it.

  16. Re:Alienware is like .... on Alienware's Triangular Area-51 Re-Design With Tri-SLI GeForce GTX 980, Tested · · Score: 1

    Try $4k+

  17. this triangular-shaped machine grabs your attention right away.

    Looks ugly and boring to me.

  18. How I know it's an ad on Tetris Is Hard To Test · · Score: 1
    Just one line in the summary gives it away:

    As I explain in this article, the game is filled with special cases that rarely occur in normal play, and these can only be easily found with the help of a coverage tool.

    This doesn't seem like news to me! I'm shocked and appalled!

  19. Re:Bennett Haselton on the Ebola outbreak on NY Doctor Recently Back From West Africa Tests Positive For Ebola · · Score: 3, Funny

    Those are Cheerios.

  20. Re:Read on for the rest on We Need Distributed Social Networks More Than Ello · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I know Jenny McCarthy's name too. That doesn't mean she isn't a pile of shit.

  21. Images are broken on Tracking a Bitcoin Thief · · Score: 1

    I actually tried to read the article, but their images which are supposedly irrefutable proof are all broken. Good job, geniuses.

  22. I don't care about Burning Man on An Algorithm to End the Lines for Ice at Burning Man · · Score: 1

    I'm just here to read the comments about what an utter piece of shit Bennet Hasselhoff is. Seriously, Ben 10 is the least qualified person to write about anything. I'd rather ask a hobo for advice, because at least then I'd be asking and not assaulted with random horseshit from Chris Benoit.

  23. What a great summary on What Will It Take To Run a 2-Hour Marathon? · · Score: 3, Funny

    "it's not impossible, meaning it is possible."

    You don't say.

  24. All word of mouth on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    I'm going to need a lot more than he said she said to believe a word of this.

  25. All word of mouth on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    I'm going to need to hear a lot more than he said she said to believe a word of this.
