  1. Only $150,000? on Swiss E-voting Trial Offers $150,000 in Bug Bounties To Hackers (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Russia, China, Israel, the US, and some cool cats on the dark web are offering more. Just gotta know who to ask.

  2. If Company Y comes up with a better and less expensive process, why do we need to implement punishing taxes? Faulty reasoning.

  3. Managers are killjoys on Debian's Anti-Harassment Team Is Removing A Package Over Its Name (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1

    I was once given a talking-to for creating a web-based system for tracking customer problems and calling it:
    Ticket
    Initiation and
    Tracking
    System.

    It was totally worth it.

  4. I just read the article twice and Iâ(TM)m still very confused. But then again, I am also very drunk.

  5. I'm sure this is a real thing, but it reads like something published by Ann Landers and sent by grandmothers everywhere via email and FB to everyone they know.

  6. ...they should just skip to Wi-Fi 10

  7. ...I would like to see more trailers like this. For every film.

  8. Those of you not aware of the Chinese 16-Character Policy probably should be...

  9. "Well, the nice thing about problems that relate to how people feel is that finding the truth is easy. Feelings have no “technically correct.” They’re just what the feeler is telling you. When someone tells you how they feel, you can pack up your magnifying glass and clue kit, cuz that’s the answer. You’re done. "

    ORLY? What if someone is simply offended by everything? You can't stop at feelz... you have to determine a reason. You'll end up making a bunch of changes and the complaints of "muh feelz" will keep rolling in until your site is a shell of its former self.

    "Feelings have no 'technically correct'" is one of the dumbest things I've heard in, well, hours.

  10. So, can I just jump to Java 16? on Oracle Sets End Date for Business Java 8 Updates (infoworld.com) · · Score: 2

    Java 8 end-of-life is January, 2019. So, let's say I want to switch...
    Java 9 has already ended free support as of March, 2018. Can't go there.
    Java 10 free support expires September, 2018 (again, before Java 8). No need to go here, might as well wait for...
    Java 11 which won't even be available until Sept. 2018.

  11. It's Always A Rumor on Telling Fact From Fantasy In the World of Apple Rumors · · Score: 1

    ... until the moment it appears on the Apple Store.

  12. I look forward to the day... on FCC to Develop 'Super V Chip' To Screen All Content · · Score: 1

    ...when -- with the flick of a switch -- the government can disable "dangerous" or "offensive" content to any device I own, since every device will be mandated to have a Super-Duper V-Chip. Think of the seditious and untoward thoughts that the Government Nannies could prevent! It will be Utopia! Wait! Better than Utopia... it will be Oceania!

  13. Turbo Frequently Ruckus on There Are No Games So Bad They're Funny · · Score: 1

    Sosumi Corp for YOU!

  14. Miskatonic University's Paebody Expedition... on Giant Penguins Once Roamed Peru · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...found the blind, albino relatives of these critters at the Mountains of Madness in the 1920's. I thought this was common knowledge.

  15. I Think... on How Far Should a Job Screening Go? · · Score: 1

    ... that it makes it easier for them get Federal info by submitting fingerprints. I've had to go to my local sheriff for fingerprints during the process of getting my concealed carry license, and the purpose was to have it run against a Fed database. It would be so much easier if that pesky Constitution didn't forbid things like a United States Police Force. And yes, that last bit was sarcasm.

  16. The catchphrase would suck... on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    "I'm going to The People's Juvenile Entertainment Complex And Animated Character Fun Collective!" just doesn't have a ring to it.

  17. We can all breathe easier on China Systematically Developing New Technologies · · Score: 3, Funny

    If you can't trust the Red Chinese, who can you trust? Besides, they don't plan to crush us for 100 years! That's like 700 in dog-years.

  18. It figures... on Space Debris Narrowly Misses Airliner · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bloody Russions!

  19. I felt a disturbance in the Force... on Peter Jackson Will Not Be Making The Hobbit · · Score: 1

    ...as if millions of voices suddenly cried out in terror, bla, bla bla.

  20. There, I Said It... on Physicists Control the Spin of a Single Electron · · Score: 2, Funny

    The ability to completely control spin? I thought Bill O'Reilly could already do that...

  21. Well! on Robotic Legs Instead of Wheelchairs · · Score: 2, Funny

    And here I am using my legs like a sucker!

  22. Said for the 1,000,001th time on Future Plans for SWG? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    TOO MANY JEDI!

    I cancelled soon after the do-gooders with the glowing swords started showing up by the truckload.

    Sure, there are a plethora of other things to pick on, but the whole atmosphere of the game is ruined by the presence of lightsaber-wielding freaks every 10 feet. According to the films, there were two known Jedi in the entire galaxy at the time this game takes place. In-game, there are thousands, maybe tens of thousands.

    Change rules, change professions, change and publish whatever... unless the amount of Jedi are cut back by 99% the game will never have the proper feel.

  23. What a great idea! on Google Stands Ground on Google.cn · · Score: 1

    "Google hopes to use this as an opportunity to help bring global censorship into the spotlight of American politics."

    Maybe they should post child pornography on their front page to bring that subject into the spotlight as well.

  24. I'm just glad... on Borland Divests IDEs to Focus on ALM · · Score: 1

    ... that Eclipse was maturing just as Borland was killing the Together IDE with their acquisition of TogetherSoft. Long story, but it was obvious from the beginning that they (a) had no clue what a good product they purchased and (b) wanted to kill it in favor of JBuilder et. al.
