  1. It is going to be like GATTACA on Genes Don't Just Predict Intelligence, But Also How Well You Do In School · · Score: 1

    "Bad" genes and you will be refused financial aid or even admission to universities.

  2. Re:Fuckin' C*nsorship on Linus Torvalds: "GCC 4.9.0 Seems To Be Terminally Broken" · · Score: 1

    They both take 8 bits of space which is what REALLY counts.

  3. Re:I know you're trying to be funny, but... on Linus Torvalds: "GCC 4.9.0 Seems To Be Terminally Broken" · · Score: 1

    Remember that egcs fork of GCC? That happened because the GCC team was being unresponsive/not fixing bugs/not updating for a while.

    They have learned their lesson.

  4. Re: A looping simulation, apparently on Mathematician: Is Our Universe a Simulation? · · Score: 1

    Died?

  5. Layoff with positions open, why not offer training on IBM Begins Layoffs, Questions Arise About Pact With New York · · Score: 0

    Why is IBM throwing people away instead of re-training them?

    FAIL, both morally and strategically.

  6. Why admit your music is torture? on Skinny Puppy Wants Compensation For Music Used in US Interrogations · · Score: 1

    They are admitting listening to their music is torture!

    I do take issue with the US Government though, if they wanted to use music to torture they should've used Justin Bieber, and he's Canadian too.

    Would've been far more effective.

  7. Re:IIS better in almost every way. on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    I am seriously thinking of hosting my parked domains elsewhere simply to stop being a help for Microsoft. Shocked and dismayed to see GoDaddy put mine on Windoze!

  8. Re:Maniacal on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: 0

    Obama is doing what needs to be done because Congress is gridlocked due to "adults" throwing tantrums such as shutting down the government and never compromising and because a large number of people in it are opposing Obama every way they can because he is BLACK!

    (Don't tell me racism has nothing to do with it, because it DOES!)

  9. Re:Wait so now on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: -1, Troll

    This is why the wealthy live in gated communities

    No, it's mostly classism and racism.

  10. How about not harassing engineers at their homes, and instead voting out politicians you don't like and not buying from companies you don't like?

  11. Re:Lewandowsky, SF, etc. on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: 1

    That mayor doesn't represent all the people, is thus not doing the job he was sworn too, and needs to be removed.

  12. Re:Google Should Move on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: 1

    Time to start working on an exit strategy.

    It's called NEVADA.

    Corporate tax rate? 0%
    (Employees will also like the total lack of a state income tax for them, too)
    Google deployed self driving cars here.
    Corporate laws are less restrictive than even Delaware.

  13. Residential picketing is disgusting! on Protesters Show Up At the Doorstep of Google Self-driving Car Engineer · · Score: 2

    They may have a point, but picketing a person's home is disgusting.

    Really harms the legitimacy of someone's position, and is a terrible invasion.

    Really needs to be illegal. I'm pro-civil liberties, but stuff like that should not be tolerated, and should be a felony for repeat offenses.

    Disturbing someone at home because you don't like the implications of the technology he works on or the fact materials for it are mined in the Congo or whatever (bet the protestors own iPhone or use other tech that needs minerals) is frightening. Not only gov't can have a chilling effect!

  14. Re:Better idea on Open Data Tells NYC Residents Where the Rats Are · · Score: 2

    NYC has the best pizza in the world, and the really big rats are usually on the subway tracks (and they are smart, never saw one get nailed by the 3rd rail in the 20 years I lived there).

  15. Re:right, "cut their car brake lines" = level-head on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    It simply means not being a petty, insulting git.

    Linus named his source control program "git", was it in "honor" of himself?

  16. Re:Got your feelings hurt? on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    The picture was kinda funny.

  17. Re:Got your feelings hurt? on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    Stop with the tone policing.

    Fork the kernel because he is abrasive? Are you kidding? Look at Gates, Ballmer and Jobs (before he kicked the bucket)!

  18. Re:Blunt != abusive on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    Believing him moves him firmly into an active threat against the entire free world, and thus should be treated as such, forced out of and not allowed to interact with society since he wants only to see all societies fall and be destroyed.

    I'll let him pick exactly how fucked in life he really wants to be, but for his sake I sure hope he is just an asshole that is wrong instead of a force that has done more harm than people we currently put to death for today.

    Chill out, we are talking about Linux kernel coding, not Assad gassing people in Syria or Osama bin Laden having attacked the US 12 years ago!

  19. Re:At Least He Doesn't Throw Chairs on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    He has $150 million and Lil Wayne only has $135 million in comparison. He ain't poor!

  20. Re:Wrong way around on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    What if you don't want them to be stuck up and bougie?

  21. Re:private school in Arkansas on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    Being against anti-Black racism where cops arrest someone for entering their own home and where a neighborhood watchman profiles, hunts and shoots an innocent teen is racist?

    That is backwards!

  22. Re:private school in Arkansas on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    Yeah, Obama hates white people, and I'm a Microsoft shill and a member of the Illuminati.

    (sarcasm for those that missed it).

  23. Re:Negotiation Skills on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    Can we use a Justin Bieber CD? It is mostly white noise.

  24. Re:Are you satisfied of merely being a freeloader on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    Some people contribute to the world in ways other than Linux kernel development.

    Stop being a coder snob.

  25. Re:you have the source on Linus Responds To RdRand Petition With Scorn · · Score: 1

    Using XOR with a constant is also bad cryptography

    Dang, I have some code to rewrite before the NSA gets to my data. LOL.
