  1. Re: What happened to Common Sense? on NYC Asks Google Maps For Fewer Left Turns · · Score: 1

    NYC does not permit turns-on-red unless there is a sign that says so.

  2. Re:What happened to Common Sense? on NYC Asks Google Maps For Fewer Left Turns · · Score: 1

    Not in NYC. Those are a rarity here.

  3. We need enforcement, not regulation. on Why We Need Certain Consumer Drone Regulations · · Score: 1

    If there is already a law against flying a drone over a wildfire then what in the hell is another law going to do? We need to realize that adding laws does nothing if we don't enforce the existing ones.

  4. Re:Comparing apples to miniature oranges on CDC: Americans Getting Heavier, Average Woman Weighs As Much As 1960s Man · · Score: 1

    You realize that can of coke is 138 calories. For of them comes to 552. If you're getting that many empty calories and not gaining weight, odds are you're deficient in one nutrient or another. There is nothing in the soda that makes those calories worth having, and balancing a diet around that much sugar can lead to malnourishment. Also DYEL bro?

  5. Re:How many times? on Restaurateur Loses Copyright Suit To BMI · · Score: 1

    Its like (the wholesaler) charging the restaurant for the food they're going to sell, then charging the waiter for bringing it out.

  6. Re:Lots of highly paid folks on A Tool For Analyzing H-1B Visa Applications Reveals Tech Salary Secrets · · Score: 1

    Yea I've worked with plenty of H1-B's. I was reporting to one actually until he became a fully-fledged citizen. The only H1-B I've seen that was incompetent was removed quickly.

  7. Re:Well you want offensive ? on A Plan On How To Stop Sexism In Science · · Score: 1

    Meritocracy is real, those people are just good at things that you happen to not enjoy. Don't force your subjectivity on others. Those guys are great at demagogy.

  8. Re:It is an ad. on How Google Searches Are Promoting Genocide Denial · · Score: 1

    Forced relocations do not count as genocide just because somebody didn't build houses and bring food to them at their destination.

    So if I relocate you to the bottom of the ocean, its not murder just because I forgot to bring you oxygen. The ocean killed you, not me!

  9. Re:Both own half. on Who Owns Pre-Embryos? · · Score: 1

    How does that fit the definition of "win-win" at all?

  10. Re:So what? on Using Adderall In the Office To Get Ahead · · Score: 1

    If its use becomes that widespread and remains successful then I guess it isn't as bad as the puritans are saying, right?

  11. Re: So what? on Using Adderall In the Office To Get Ahead · · Score: 1

    I'm so glad your opinion doesn't matter.

  12. Re:So what? on Using Adderall In the Office To Get Ahead · · Score: 1

    OMG ur so cool for knowing that.

  13. You weren't meant to serve. on Except For Millennials, Most Americans Dislike Snowden · · Score: 1

    When will we throw off the chains of the older generation? Are we their slaves?

  14. Re:Getting undercut by those... on IT Worker's Lawsuit Accuses Tata of Discrimination · · Score: 1

    Thats the thing though, there is no cliff, just a pile of people all trying to climb to the top.

  15. Re:Protected class? on IT Worker's Lawsuit Accuses Tata of Discrimination · · Score: 1

    America counts as a nation of origin. We're all members of a protected class in one way or another, its just that you don't notice until its discriminated against.

  16. This is easily subvertable on Leaked Document Reveals Upcoming Biometric Experiments At US Customs · · Score: 1

    Just dual boot the laptop and have it not ask which OS to load unless you tap a certain key during the boot sequence. Customs workers are happy because they think they have access, travelers are happy because their data is safe, and lawmakers can go fuck themselves because their ignorance precedes them.

  17. Re:Natural immunity on Farmers Carry Multidrug-Resistant Staph For Weeks Into Local Communities · · Score: 1

    So I need a prescription for antibiotics but animals don't. Wish that worked for pain killers.

  18. Re:User Errors on GM To Introduce Hands-Free Driving In Cadillac Model · · Score: 1

    Word.

  19. I'm not sure I want to know on GM To Introduce Hands-Free Driving In Cadillac Model · · Score: 1

    Yea, fuckin quaddies think they own the place.

  20. Re:Wear the tin foil hat on Ad Tracking: Is Anything Being Done? · · Score: 1

    We should write a chrome extension that detects the unique identifiers we all have in our tracking cookies and trades them between users. Their data would be useless after that.

  21. Re:Wear the tin foil hat on Ad Tracking: Is Anything Being Done? · · Score: 1

    Good design !== makes money. Which one do you think most sites are going to lean toward. I hate to break it to you but the majority of development is so far off from a programmer fantasy it can be considered gore. And thats not changing anytime soon.

  22. This is intolerance on Brendan Eich Steps Down As Mozilla CEO · · Score: 1

    Whatever he believes, should we not tolerate that? Why should he be shunned for having a particular viewpoint? Do we want to live in a society where people are persecuted for their beliefs?

  23. Re:tldr on Are DVDs Inconvenient On Purpose? · · Score: 1

    And my post points out that your post is the first to point out that a posts repeats a post.

  24. Re:Here's how to secure your "Internet of things" on Security for the 'Internet of Things' (Video) · · Score: 1

    Think about it. You leave a pork loin in the oven before you leave for work. The oven refrigerates the meat until it's time to cook it, so its ready when you get home. You get stuck at the office. You send a text to your oven to slow the cook time by an hour.

  25. Re:Shit. on You Might Rent Features & Options On Cars In the Future · · Score: 1

    For the heating elements, you just need to cut into the seat and run a current across it. If its present, it cannot be securely disabled.
