  1. Re:right idea - Wrong fuel on In Nuclear Power, Size Matters · · Score: 0

    Incessantly referring to elements by their symbols makes you out to be a douche.

  2. Re:Wow on Firefox Too Big To Link On 32-bit Windows · · Score: 1, Informative

    1080P video has nothing to do with the bitness of your operating system.

  3. "Landed" in the Mediterranean on Atlantic Crossing By Amateur Radio High Altitude Balloon · · Score: 1

    Where it was eaten by a whale or dolphin, which subsequently died.

  4. Re:Supported on Google Deploys IPv6 For Internal Network · · Score: 1

    You clearly don't work with any software or operating system vendors then. Pedantically attempting to hold them to a 'supported' stance doesn't change the fact that their shit doesn't work right.

  5. Re:Users disagree with him on The Condescending UI · · Score: 1

    They're called Democrats.

  6. Re:how much gypsum? on NASA's Gypsum Find Clear Evidence There Was Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    In the end you still have insufficient gravity and no magnetic field to protect the atmosphere you're trying to create. Solar wind would blow it away (again).

  7. Re:Why just cautionary for Google and Facebook? on The Rise and Fall of Kodak · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mod parent up. If you're not part of the solution, there's money to be made in prolonging the problem.

  8. Re:Ageism on Half Life of a Tech Worker: 15 Years · · Score: 2

    Those are true statements - you ARE less valuable and less flexible than younger people. It's not ageism, it's just reality. Why would I hire some old guy who's going to miss days and only work 9-5 because he has sick kids, baseball games, piano recitals, etc?

  9. Re:plan? in this climate? on Half Life of a Tech Worker: 15 Years · · Score: 2

    When you confuse the power of the dollar with the power of the gun, this is what happens.

  10. 2 week vacation in South Africa on Permafrost Loss Greater Threat Than Deforestation · · Score: 2

    If nothing else, soft-science and government types get a taxpayer paid trip to South Africa for 2 weeks. Do you think they really want to FIX global warming?

  11. Re:Better disk encryption with Mint 12? on Linux Mint 12 Released Today · · Score: 1

    Either you're the OP posting as AC for troll values, or you're trolling because you don't know what you are talking about.

  12. Re:Better disk encryption with Mint 12? on Linux Mint 12 Released Today · · Score: 1

    Because while he's cool enough to encrypt the machine, he's not clever enough to carve out a separate /home FS.

  13. Paging S. Behrman on California Going Ahead With Bullet Train · · Score: 1

    Didn't we do this whole thing over 100 years ago?

    And for 98 billion as a 'stimulus' - why not just drop bags of $20 bills from a helicopter? It has the same effect and less bureaucracy.

  14. Why indulge? on 15 Years In Jail For Clicking 'Like' · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why do people continue to go to countries that suck?

  15. Why is education socialized anyway? on China To Cancel College Majors That Don't Pay · · Score: 1

    The whole premise here reeks of socialism - why is it up to the US government to fund, or not fund, higher education? In China it's understandable, but here?

  16. Re:Love the use of the name.... on Palantir, the War On Terror's Secret Weapon · · Score: 0

    Who would have thought that the US Government was Sauron?

    Pretty much every productive member of US society.

  17. Obligatory xkcd on Full Disk Encryption Hard For Law Enforcement To Crack · · Score: -1, Redundant
  18. Re:Speaking of which... on Hiding Messages In VoIP Packets · · Score: 2

    Easier way to do encryption:

    dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1k count=700000 | mkisofs -o - | cdrecord -v -pad dev=(your device)

    Make a copy for your friend.

    Send all your stuff encrypted with a one time pad composed of a random length and offset based on numbers on some public site - temperature in Madrid, the # shares sold on the Dow, etc.

    Obligatory xkcd comic applies, of course.

  19. Re:Microsoft Zealot Here... on OpenSUSE 12.1 Released · · Score: 1

    You realize his whole post was a troll, right?

  20. They tried this with Crusoe too on HP Announces ARM-Based Server Line · · Score: 1

    We got an enclosure full of Transmeta blades, and the performance just sucked. I could see this MAYBE for a VDI solution for a lot of low-power users, but that's it.

  21. MAKE magazine sucks on Is the Maker Movement Making It Cool For Kids To Be Nerds? · · Score: 1

    I bought it when it came out, then cancelled once they turned into a hand-wavy version of Popular Mechanics.

  22. Re:Figures provided by analysts, not the companies on HTC Becomes Highest Shipping Smartphone Vendor In the US · · Score: 1

    You sound fanboi.

  23. Karma on Feds Take USAjobs.gov Back From Monster, Performance Tanks · · Score: 1

    It's karma - anyone who WANTS to work for the government should be forced to endure such a crappy experience.

  24. CFL bulbs on Proposed Mercury Ban Threatens Vaccines · · Score: 1

    Easy, they can just break a bunch of CFL bulbs and capture the Hg from there. What's that enviro-hipster, you didn't know that you were putting mercury in the landfill when you trashed your "green" lightbulbs?

  25. Internet Small Computer System Interface on Entry-Level NAS Storage Servers Compared · · Score: 2

    I stopped reading the slide show when they not only spelled out a definition for ISCSI, but got it wrong. Horrible article. Zero details, all fluff.
