  1. Re:Why don't Americans like wearing seatbelts? on Southwest Airlines Engine Failure Results In First Fatality On US Airline In 9 Years (heavy.com) · · Score: 1

    Probably because most are too fat. I mean car dealers actually have seatbelt extenders they can install for the true fatties.

  2. I use guns to punch small holes in paper targets for recreation and sport along with the vast majority of other gun owners. Why should my guns be taken away because crazy people are using them? Punish the person not the instrument.

  3. Shooting is considered a sport and even part of the olympics. My guns haven't killed anyone but oddly enough Ted Kennedy's car has a body count.

  4. Guns aren't designed for killing anything. Their function is to propel an object at great velocities. In that respect they are no different than an automobile (which terrorists have been using as weapons).

  5. In the past these crazy people all existed but were limited to people they interacted with in real life. Now crazy people find each other and get egged on by the rest of the internet.

  6. False ring tones? on T-Mobile To Pay $40 Million Over False Ring Tones on Rural US Calls (reuters.com) · · Score: 3

    What the hell is a false ring tone? My phone rings because T-Mobile asked it to?

  7. Re:Comey doesn't care about the average American. on Former FBI Director James Comey Reveals How Apple and Google's Encryption Efforts Drove Him 'Crazy' (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    James Woods called the FBI about suspicious Islamic men on one of his flights right before 9/11. Guess he talked to the same FBI employee as the the Florida shooter tipster.

  8. You must be new on Pentagon Reports 2000% Increase in Russia Trolls Since Friday (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Are you shitting me? The past year and a half we had multiple stories every day criticizing Trump and not related to tech at all. Its only calmed down lately since people started bitching. This site was always more towards the libertarian side.

  9. I'd call them more incompetent than anything else. They received tips about the Florida school shooter including his name and what he was going to do and they did nothing. Typical big government.

  10. Threatening to swat people on twitter is fine. You better not fucking suggest there are only two genders or you'll really be in trouble.

  11. The big car companies had this figured out long ago. This is what happens when you hire software designers to build cars.

  12. Looks like a bot posted this mess of a sentence on YouTube Is Littered With Mass-Produced Videos Made By Automated Bots (hackernoon.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    they take credit for it and reap all the rewardsâS -- such as revenue and influenceâS -- âSthat come with it.

  13. Re:Or maybe we could cut out the middle man here.. on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    MiniDisc was never huge. Stores typically had a very small section devoted to them but that died on with the long box CD. The only time I heard about them being used was to record concerts.

  14. Re:Or maybe we could cut out the middle man here.. on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Different strokes for different folks. I enjoy looking at the album artwork and reading the lyrics sheet and whatever else is included.

  15. Re:Or maybe we could cut out the middle man here.. on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Vinyl does have a different sound but unless the record is scratched there isn't any noise. Hell most vinyl is mastered better and not normalized to 100%.

  16. Re: They all start with digital audio on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    What do you mean by virtually impossible to work on? Are you not able to change brake pads and rotors? Ball joints or a wheel bearing? Yeah you need the dealer software to diagnose specialized systems like air suspension but the ODB-II codes still work. While they shouldn't taken as gospel they are a good starting point.

  17. Re:They all start with digital audio on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Try to find a 30 year old car in good shape in the rust belt.

  18. Re:Or maybe we could cut out the middle man here.. on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Trust me this will go over as well as HD-CD and SACD did. Include MiniDisc too for that matter.

  19. Re:They all start with digital audio on 'High Definition Vinyl' Is Coming As Early As Next Year (pitchfork.com) · · Score: 1

    Why do people buy old cars when they make perfectly good new ones?

  20. Re:Free speech doesn't mean only the speech you li on Reddit Continues To Protect Racist Language In Favor of Free Speech (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because all the SJW's are too dumb to realize the "hate speech" laws they want passed can be turned right around against themselves.

  21. Other than gamers, who is going to be running over 4Gb of video ram under normal circumstances? Nobody.

  22. How about on AV1 Beats x264 and Libvpx-Vp9 in Practical Use Case (facebook.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    AV1 compared to x265?

  23. Don't worry on Zuckerberg Testimony: Facebook AI Will Curb Hate Speech In 5 To 10 Years (inverse.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The Democrats and the SJW's have already decided what they consider hate speech.

  24. Re:Not news. They were meant to be easy to activat on Emergency Alert Systems Used Across the US Can Be Easily Hijacked (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    I had no problem turning off that "feature".

  25. Re:If I'm being honest... on YouTube Hack: Several High-Profile Videos Mysteriously Disappear From Platform, Some Defaced · · Score: 1

    Honestly DJ Snake has a good sense of humor. He made this video after all https://www.youtube.com/watch?...
