  1. Stop owning cars on Living On a Carbon Budget: The End of Recreation As We Know It? · · Score: 1

    That would solve so many problems. Never going to happen, but since we're talking about making people do silly bullshit because it's cheaper, let's make a list:

    - Don't have any pets. They aren't strictly necessary anyway. Sure, they improve our quality of life and many studies show they can increase our lifespan, but fuck that noise.
    - Only eat Government Mandated Nutrient Paste. Taste receptors? What are you, a hedonist?
    - No more chairs, sofas, etc. You shouldn't be relaxing anyway. Any time spent not working is wasted, and you can work standing. Speaking of which...
    - Observe Government Mandated Sleeping Hours. We need you to sleep the exact minimum amount of time to not be worthless.

    I could go on, but why bother? This guy is such a complete moron, he probably doesn't even realize my list isn't a collection of sincere advice.

  2. Weighted averages on Fixing Steam's User Rating Charts · · Score: 1

    Why are they suggesting skipping straight to this hot mess instead of using a simple and well tested algorithm?

  3. Alternate title on Why Military Personnel Make the Best IT Pros · · Score: 4, Funny

    Former military person seeking IT job.

  4. Re:Grammar! on Why the FCC Will Probably Ignore the Public On Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    But... but that's not grammar...

  5. What? on First Birth From Human Womb Transplant · · Score: 1
    This summary makes no sense.

    It is thought the birth occurred within the last month after doctors transplanted wombs into several women who had a rare genetic condition that meant they were born without their own womb.

    So did it, or didn't it? How do you not know when the birth took place?

  6. Re:Porn ... on Experiment Shows Stylized Rendering Enhances Presence In Immersive AR · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Everything will be used for porn. That doesn't make it a bad thing. Technology has been driven in large part by sex, and will continue to be. If people think something can be used for porn, they'll put more money into it, and then you can use it for other things too.

  7. Could Bennet be charged for his own stupid posts? on Could Maroney Be Prosecuted For Her Own Hacked Pictures? · · Score: 1

    I surely hope so.

  8. Why? on Tetris To Be Made Into a Live Action Film · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't... is there really nothing better that could be turned into a film? A good book, or perhaps even an original script? This seems like one of those films that should only be created when literally every other possible idea has already been done a few dozen times.

  9. Re:Building codes on IBM Solar Concentrator Can Produce12kW/day, Clean Water, and AC · · Score: 2

    Lucky for you, this stuff is nice and shiny, so it makes a good substitute for tin foil.

  10. Re:That she didn't call their bluff... on Emma Watson Leaked Photo Threat Was a Plot To Attack 4chan · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Or that she didn't have any interest in giving some random jackasses attention.

  11. What the fuck is this shit? on How Our Botched Understanding of "Science" Ruins Everything · · Score: 1

    I made it almost halfway through the summary, but it's too much bullshit for me. Is there anything worth reading in the article, or is it just as bad?

  12. Fuck your interactivity on U2 and Apple Collaborate On 'Non-Piratable, Interactive Format For Music' · · Score: 1

    The "non-piratable" bit has been beaten to death by the other commenters already, so I won't bother with it. Instead, let's look at the other part: "interactive". No, I don't want to interact with the fucking music, Bono. I want to put on the music and have an epic soundtrack to my life. The only reason you think full albums are boring is that your music is boring.

  13. Re:.info on Netropolitan Is a Facebook For the Affluent, and It's Only $9000 To Join · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yeah, everyone knows exclusivity is only found with .tk!

  14. Troll much? on Ask Slashdot: Any Place For Liberal Arts Degrees In Tech? · · Score: 1

    I'm not convinced this isn't just a massive troll. There's no way this question is seriously being asked.

  15. Good on Say Goodbye To That Unwanted U2 Album · · Score: 4, Insightful

    People acting like users have no right to complain about free shit need some perspective.

    For example, do you like tofu? No? Well tough shit, it's free, and I'm going to force feed you three pounds of it. You have no right to complain about free food. Hell, I'll opt for stinky tofu while I'm at it. Here in Taiwan, people love that shit. Everyone who doesn't thinks it smells and tastes like raw sewage.

    U2 is the stinky tofu of the music industry. You have people who like them, and people who can't imagine why you would find it necessary to inflict such pain upon yourself.

  16. Why stop there? on Chinese City Sets Up "No Cell Phone" Pedestrian Lanes · · Score: 1

    We should also have a lane for those damned elderly and children. They can't walk for shit, either.

  17. Prove it on Comcast Allegedly Asking Customers to Stop Using Tor · · Score: 2

    Comcast is exclusively run by assholes, but I'm not seeing any proof of this statement. People shouldn't get all up in arms about this claim until there's some evidence. I'm sure as hell not going to take some random asshole's word on it - I wouldn't even trust him to tell me if it's raining outside or not.

  18. The worst use of VR ever on Oculus Rift CEO Says Classrooms of the Future Will Be In VR Goggles · · Score: 4

    Yes, let's strap on VR goggles all day for classes which aren't enhanced in even the smallest way by VR. Hell, why stop there? Keep them on constantly. It'll be great when grocery shopping.

  19. The summary is all over the place on Paypal Jumps Into Bitcoin With Both Feet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What does Paypal have to do with exposing Satoshi?

    As far as the main story goes, I wouldn't call it "jumping in with both feet" when they're not actually even enabling it on Paypal. They're just putting it on Braintree. While that might look like a huge investment, it fits Paypal's hobby budget pretty well.

  20. Re:Talk is cheap. on John Romero On Reinventing the Shooter · · Score: -1, Redundant

    That's pretty much my attitude on it. He's not even useful as hype anymore because of how bad his reputation is now.

  21. I guess you could say it...

    *Puts on sunglasses*

    ...Went viral.

    Yeahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!

  22. Why should he listen? on Should Docker Move To a Non-Profit Foundation? · · Score: 1

    Just because you once pushed a commit doesn't mean you get to tell the owner to go non-profit.

  23. Re:Why SPAM? on Egypt's Oldest Pyramid Is Being Destroyed By Its Own Restoration Team · · Score: 3, Informative

    Maybe because you keep spamming the fucking link everywhere, dumbass.

  24. Re: I never realized how bad it was on Facebook Blamed For Driving Up Cellphone Bills, But It's Not Alone · · Score: 1

    I didn't factor in prepaid, so you have a cheaper plan than I do. Mine is from Fetnet, at 599.

  25. I never realized how bad it was on Facebook Blamed For Driving Up Cellphone Bills, But It's Not Alone · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Have you ever seen documentaries where poor people have to spend hours every day getting clean water, and it just makes you step back and realize how fucking easy you have it to have clean water on tap at all times? That's how I feel looking at the cellphone data situation in the US. I'm paying for the single cheapest cellphone plan I can get here in Taiwan, and I get 1.5gb of data with that. And that limit only kicks in after the first six months of free unlimited data expires.

    Sure, the facebook design is absolutely retarded, but I don't come close to my limit despite using facebook as a primary means of communication with most of my friends and family. Point your anger in the right direction.
