  1. Re:Tim Cook doesn't understand the Law on Tim Cook: If You Don't Like Our Energy Policies, Don't Buy Apple Stock · · Score: 1

    Are you familiar with the law? It doesn't define best interest. Not all shareholders a motivated purely by profit. Those that are motivated as such had an opportunity to vote him out of power (the law is on their side for that), but they couldn't garner enough interest.

    Actually, ALL shareholders are motivated purely by profit. Think I'm wrong? Apple has enough surplus cash to indulge in such ventures. What if Apple posted a $10B loss? Think such money sinks would still be funded? Yes, willingly paying a premium for energy is a money sink.

    If Apple was losing money, all of their shareholders would be concerned. Don't be fooled into thinking they wouldn't be.

  2. Cook said it because Apple is rolling in cash on Tim Cook: If You Don't Like Our Energy Policies, Don't Buy Apple Stock · · Score: 1

    You best believe that if Apple was limping along financially then they wouldn't have splurged on such green energy ventures. Don't misunderstand me. Apple has the cash and they can spend it as they wish. But Cook is making a moral argument and it's only the success of the iPhone/iPad that allows him to do so.

    I don't think you understand what "ad hominem" is. (Yes, I understand I am using it incorrectly, but I'm sticking with the theme)

  4. Re:Joke? on Ask Slashdot: Should I Get Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    I put in my application for Google Glass as a joke.

    I don't think you understand what a "joke" is. Unless, that is, the information you supplied on the application is funny in some way.

    I don't think you understand what "doing something for a joke" is. Actually I think you do, but you're being deliberately obtuse so you could follow up with that idiotic following sentence.

  5. It's a 1 billion dollar slush fund. on Obama To Ask For $1 Billion Climate Change Fund · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't be fooled.

  6. Re:Maybe most women don't want to go into tech on Getting Young Women Interested In Open Source · · Score: 1

    Is it social bias or is it just the way things are? Building toys that boys like and marketing them to boys isn't "social bias." Same things with toys for girls. The whole bullshit about "social bias" is that boys and girls are equal in every way and think, act, and prefer in the exact same way until "society" forces blue on boys and pink on girls. Total bullshit.

    Stop forcing shit and let the person choose what he or she wants.

  8. Very little "game theory" here on Audience Jeers Contestant Who Uses Game Theory To Win At 'Jeopardy' · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just common sense. Don't bet big on daily doubles if you don't know the subject. Hit the big numbers first. I'm always stunned when two contestants are $4k back and they keep picking the $200 questions.

  9. The code triggered by crtl-alt-del on Ask Slashdot: What's the Most Often-Run Piece of Code -- Ever? · · Score: 1

    By a long shot

  10. Instead of looking at server software Go with Dune on Ask Slashdot: Suggestions For a Simple Media Server? · · Score: 1

    I share my files with SMB, but I use a Dune HD B1 player. It plays everything including Blu Ray structures, DVD structures, ISO, MKV, MP4, M4V, AVI, and so on.. So if you're looking to play your files on a single TV, get the best player you can. A Dune HD.

    As soon as they go to 256 GB of storage, I'm getting one. Surprisingly, the Surface Pro has one feature that most laptops don't. A displayport. I need a displayport to drive my 2560x1600 monitor.

    I'll give you $20 for as many as you can ship for that price.

    So what will you do if a fleet of semis shows up at your house, stacks pallets 60 feet high, and hands you a bill for $120M due immediately?

    And wrong.

  21. I've got no problem with this. The world is diff.. on Google and Apple Spent More On Patents Than R&D Last Year · · Score: 0

    I am always stunned how fast a chinese company can tool a factory to push out cheap copies of electronics seemingly within days of a rumor or announcement. While I think some ideas and implementations are unpatentable (?), the fact that there are hundreds, if not thousands, of companies that are willing to spend zero amount on R&D and simply copy what other companies spend billions to develop shows that such patents are necessary .

  22. Vehicle is pissing me the fuck off on Game Review: Borderlands 2 · · Score: 2

    I really like the game but the absolutely retarded vehicle control is pissing me off. Only steering via mouse. Turbo sporadically working and when it does it stays on until empty (2 deaths so far because of that), I can crank the wheels to one side and when I back up the front wheels automatically swing to the other side. Fucking annoying as hell.

  23. Re:Fuck people. Again? Really? on Bill "The Science Guy" Nye Says Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children · · Score: 1

    Yes they are mutually exclusive. For starters, there are no evidence of a god. Even appealing to the idea of a prime mover does not mean that the prime mover was a god. And for that matter, what prime-moved the god? (Oh yes, I forget, it always existed, right?)

    Evolution is based on facts.
    Creationism is based on shit people make up.

    You're right, there is no evidence of a God. You're right, the idea of a prime mover doesn't mean the prime mover was a God. What prime moved the God? No idea. And the rest of your quote was just prejudiced BS.

    ID doesn't require an omniscient and omnipotent God. Claiming that ID and evolution are mutually exclusive just shows how little you actually know about what you are railing against.

    "These are mutually exclusive views of what to base thought on. You cannot weasel around it. One or the other."

    Sorry, no. No weaseling needed. They aren't mutually exclusive. You're obviously biased against the Bible and transferring that prejudice to Creationism. Let the hate go dude.

  25. Fuck people. Again? Really? on Bill "The Science Guy" Nye Says Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children · · Score: 0

    Creationism and evolution aren't mutually exclusive. God damn people. You fuckers with binary need to learn not everything is a one or zero.

    Eliminating creationism is extremely simple. Just explain life without a prime mover. Once that happens, creationism as a theory is gone. But to continually argue that creationism precludes or eliminates evolution is stupid. And wrong. And you know it.
