  1. What about business? on Mozilla Challenges Educators To Integrate Ethics Into STEM (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Wouldn't you get more out of ensuring that business professionals have ethics, rather than STEM. I would rather deal with a handful of radioactive supermonkeys, than another collapsing financial system.

  2. Wasting money on money on Canada Hid the Konami Code In Its Commemorative $10 Bill Launch (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Canada's government is hemorrhaging money, and now they are wasting money on designing new commemorative money.

    The profit is in Karma, not dollars. You can spend it being an asshole :)

    Good to see you standing up for your beliefs Annonymous Coward.

  7. Re:Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on Quebec Language Police Target Store Owner's Facebook Page · · Score: 1

    I knew something was odd. The bill is 101, not 22.

  8. Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms on Quebec Language Police Target Store Owner's Facebook Page · · Score: 1

    Bill 22 should be against section 2b. I have no idea why it has not been struck down. The Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms

  9. Re:Yeah, right ... on Facebook Comment Prompts Arrests In Cyberbullying Suicide Case · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ... and then get offended when anyone else tries to.

  10. Re:Where do they go? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    That's the first time I've ever heard someone mention Greely as not being in the middle of nowhere. Same goes for Manotick.

  11. Re:They come back the next day on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 2

    There are golf courses that use border collies to convince canadian geese to move along. Apparently the geese don't appreciate being herded.

  12. Re:Are we at peak drone? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    It's a tsunami of hyperbole.

    Now you're just exaggerating. ;-)

    It's a hyperbole drone.

  13. Re:Where do they go? on Canadian City Uses Drone To Chase Off Geese · · Score: 1

    They go outside the city. Most of Canada is essentially uninhabited by people, so there is plenty of space that they can go where they will not be a nuisance. They don't even have to go far in this case, as Ottawa is surrounded by forest and farm land. You can drive half an hour from the city center in any direction and be in the middle of nowhere.

  14. Re:Middlemen: the official plague of the modern ag on Tesla Faces Tough Regulatory Hurdle From State Dealership Laws · · Score: 1

    Likely the bottom half.

    bacon-flavoured bacon bits, wrapped in bacon -- if that's a thing

    Canada is a wonderful place, but one thing that Canadians do not know about is bacon. Hint: it's not ham. OTOH the British have great bacon (more meat than the American stuff). Go figure.

    Sorry, but as a Canadian, if I ordered bacon and got ham, I would be quite perturbed, flabbergasted even. What you call Canadian Bacon, is known as back bacon up here. What we call bacon is the same as what you 'Merican's call bacon. Also, I was in a subway chain in the the US and ordered a BLT. They were using deep fried bacon. What an abomination. Fried all the flavour out of that poor excuse for bacon. What sort of deviant deep fries bacon, Eh?

  17. Will Smith? on WHSmith Putting DRM In EBooks Without Permission From the Authors · · Score: 1

    I apparently need more coffee, as I read the topic as "Will Smith Putting DRM in EBooks Without Permission From The Authors", which would have been a strange sort of awesome.

  18. I guess the music executives ... on Music Industry Sees First Revenue Increase Since 1999 · · Score: 1

    are gonna party like it's 1999!

  19. Re:It's spelled Pinocchio on DIY Web-Controlled Robot That Takes 1 Hour To Build · · Score: 1

    They probably misspelled it intentionally in order to avoid getting sued by Disney.

  20. Re:Trolls... on Canadian ISP Fights Back Against Copyright Trolls · · Score: 1

    The business model is broken, and a lot of very intelligent people have already made that observation. The people defending the business model are those who lack both intelligence and imagination.

    Or have a vested interest in perpetuating and expanding the business model as it now stands.

  21. Re:It is so simple... on Scientist Seeks 'Adventurous Human Woman' For Neanderthal Baby · · Score: 1

    She's so easy, even a caveman can do her!

  22. Re:No he's not on Scientist Seeks 'Adventurous Human Woman' For Neanderthal Baby · · Score: 1

    They also had an ad campaign with the tag line "So easy, a caveman could do it."

    Men are typically going after large racked prey...

  24. Re:I stopped at water quota. on A Day in Your Life, Fifteen Years From Now · · Score: 1

    Amusingly my "water" bill is broken down into water and sewage costs and sewage costs about 2x as much per gallon as water.. I think we'll see a sewage quote before we see a water quota.

    We already get sewage quotes every time politicians open their mouths.
