  1. Re:Still too dim on Graphene Light Bulbs Coming To Stores Soon · · Score: 1

    No fixtures, just an ordinary table lamp.

  2. Still too dim on Graphene Light Bulbs Coming To Stores Soon · · Score: 1

    Just about every LED bulb is rated for 60 watts (equiv) which is too dim for my living room. You can get 100 watt but they cost triple the price! I could buy two 60 watters and a Y adapter and it would still cost less.

  3. Power supply costs on Measuring How Much "Standby Mode" Electricity For Game Consoles Will Cost You · · Score: 1

    No question they could build something that uses a minuscule amount of standby power but consoles themselves are a loss leader. That wasted standby power is probably consumed by the power supply itself.

  4. Re:Boorish on Jeremy Clarkson Dismissed From Top Gear · · Score: 1

    Ken Block's Focus is so modified you could put any body shell over the frame. It's rated for like 600hp. Like comparing your Monty Carlo to a NASCAR.

  5. Re:Boorish on Jeremy Clarkson Dismissed From Top Gear · · Score: 1

    What models of American cars are exported? Ford/Chevy have separate divisions and make completely different models for Europe. I'd buy a European made Ford long before an American.

  6. Re:This is a great excuse on GNU Nano Gets New Stable Release · · Score: 1

    Sounds like the fault of pam for being crippled by a linefeed.

  7. Re:This is a great excuse on GNU Nano Gets New Stable Release · · Score: 2

    Are you kidding? No self respecting neckbeard would be caught dead using Nano. It's too simple and straightforward for them. Their editor needs to have an interactive and non interactive mode and no use of the delete or backspace key. I mean keyboards have had that function for like a half century now...

  8. Re:Mission creep on FAA Says Ad-Bearing YouTube Drone Videos Constitute "Commercial Use" · · Score: 1

    I like the way you think.

  9. SJW is the new Godwin on Linux Might Need To Claim Only ACPI 2.0 Support For BIOS · · Score: -1, Troll

    I propose a new rule similar to Godwin's rule about the first to mention the word "Nazi" loses the argument. From this day forward anyone using the term "SJW" shall automatically lose any discussion, argument, or shouting match.

  10. Re:FAKE on Watch an Original NES Run Netflix · · Score: 1

    If I was going to attempt something like this, the "cartridge" would really be the IO pins from a microcontroller or Beagle Bone board. The board emulates a real cartridge. It takes source video and converts it to something displayable by the NES.

  11. Freedom of speech on YouTube Video of Racist Chant Results In Fraternity Closure · · Score: 1

    Maybe you should read what the constitution actually says. "Congress shall make no law..."

  12. One whole hour? on Daylight Saving Time Change On Sunday For N. America · · Score: 0

    One whole hour, how do you manage?

  13. Question on Red Hat Strips Down For Docker · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Does systemd already have a poorly coded version of this installed?

  14. That idealism doesn't even work in this country. It hasn't fixed Detroit or St. Louis. Why should we have to build infrastructure when they are sitting on nearly unlimited wealth from oil?

  15. Oh please. We're not going to bomb mosques or massacre whole villages.

  16. Re:Secure is now illegal on Police Could Charge Data Center Operators In the Largest Child Porn Bust Ever · · Score: 2

    Were they aware of the contents?

  17. Re:Jerri on ISIS Threatens Life of Twitter Founder After Thousands of Account Suspensions · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The problem with groups like ISIS (and Vietnam for that matter) is simple. We cannot play by the rules and expect to win against an enemy that has no rules. ISIS exists because we destabilized Iraq by getting rid of Saddam. Yes he was a murderous dictator but that is the only way to keep that place in order. There are plenty of people who committed worse crimes than Saddam and yet we did nothing.

  18. You done fucked up on How Do You Handle the Discovery of a Web Site Disclosing Private Data? · · Score: 4, Informative

    Every time someone has tried to be the nice guy its backfired. You see something like this? Keep your mouth shut and forget it even happened.

  19. Re:Good on Twitter Adds "Report Dox" Option · · Score: 1

    Haha since when does Twitter=Internet?

  20. I figured as much on Twitter Adds "Report Dox" Option · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Video games were the last world that these basement dwellers could rule. Then girls started playing and upsetting their little kingdoms.

  21. Re:Twitter is a powerful tool on Twitter Adds "Report Dox" Option · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Twitter is more annoying than anything. I don't care what names celebrities are calling each other and I don't want to see inane comments while trying to watch a tv show.

  22. Re:Why would anyone want to watch videos in 16 col on VLC Gets First Major Cross-Platform Release · · Score: 1

    What system came with a monochrome display and was powerful enough to play video?

  23. Jailbait on Reddit Imposes Ban On Sexual Content Posted Without Permission · · Score: 3, Informative

    You mean the jailbait subs or the sub where the teacher was uploading upskirt pics of students?

  24. Re:a big fuck you to the world on Argonne National Laboratory Shuts Down Online Ask a Scientist Program · · Score: 1

    Oh yeah nearly nothing, disk space, bandwidth, admins. Like you would have a clue what to do with any data they would release.

  25. Re:More revenue on Chicago's Red Light Cameras Now a Point of Contention for Mayoral Candidates · · Score: 1

    Hey if you're feeling guilty about paying too little you could always donate some more cash yourself.
