  1. Re:Who cares? on John McAfee On Why He's Running For President · · Score: 2

    Aw, cmon, they work together all the time! On the PATRIOT Act, on drones, on the TPP, on indefinite detention of Americans without charges... lots of stuff!

    The illusion of the parties not working together exists for the explicit purpose of making us more accepting of the bullshit that gets passed when they do "reach across the aisle."

    "Job growth" sounds great and all... until you realize all that growth was at minimum wage corporate subsidy farms like McDonalds and WalMart.

    "Jobs" != sustainable wages

    Lol - the digital equivalent of tossing a tennis ball at your car to get the drug dog to "hit" on it.

  4. Re:wan port on OnHub Router -- Google's Smart Home Trojan Horse? · · Score: 1

    If you plug your modem into the LAN port you're an even bigger idiot than the first guy. The blurb is wrong, RTFA it has two ethernet ports, one for LAN one for WAN. The article specifies it has one LAN port. Which is all a router needs.

    So, which LAN port routes to the DMZ, if it only has one?

  5. Re:Interesting take on this... on Germany Wants Facebook To Obey Its Rules About Holocaust Denial · · Score: 1

    So Germany can have an American librarian extradited for loaning Mein Kampf to a German citizen visiting Milwaukee?

    That rationale seems a bit... irrational.

    What the hell is a "Germany?" Never heard of such a thing.

    Maas wanted... [to] appeal to German nationalism,

    The irony of which would be hilarious, if it wasn't terrifying.

    Reductio Ad Absurdum is not an argument.

    Statistically, more people intentionally crash cars than planes. His point stands.

  10. Muppets on Real-Time Control of a Humanoid Robot · · Score: 2

    Operators strap into a vest that contains control circuitry and a pair of arm-like joysticks. As the operator grasps the ends and moves his arms, the robot mimics his arm movements in real time.

    Um, didn't the Jim Henson Company develop that technology 40-some-odd years ago?

    Especially in an age where people can purchase tiny rotorcraft equipped with spy cameras in every major department store.

  12. Re:We're a tech company... on Uber Faces $410 Million Canadian Class Action Suit · · Score: 1

    Rosa Parks knew she would be punished for her actions, and accepted her punishment with a stoic demeanor.

    There is no comparison between her fight for equality and Uber's fight for inequality.

  13. Re:"Drug Companies Seek to Exploit"!!! on How Drug Companies Seek To Exploit Rare DNA Mutations · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Drug companies have no intrrest in researching cures.

    Drug companies are for-profit. While there is obviously immense profit in providing treatment for maladies, there is a very limited profit available in cures.

    Thus, drug companies do not have any intention of curing anything. It would be bad for business, you see.

  14. Re:Age, 18 for long guns and 21 for hand guns on Police Not Issuing Charges For Handgun-Firing Drone -- Feds Undecided · · Score: 2

    Possession, or purchase? In MO, for example, you can own and even carry a handgun at 18, but you can't legally purchase one from a dealer unless 21 or older.

    No, dude, that was a firearm. BB guns don't report when fired.

    You obviously don't know much about firearms to make a statement like that.

    Never look for rhyme or reason in ATF dictates. You won't find any.

  18. Re:First They Came For The Racists.... on Reddit CEO: Site Is 'Not a Bastion of Free Speech,' Change Coming · · Score: 1

    I really don't think "I dislike people of different colors" is tantamount to "I fuck little kids." Is that always your go-to comparison?

    If so, then I have to ask... what the fuck is wrong with you?

    Anyway, there's a world of difference between a racist asshole who never harms anyone and a fucking pedophile. Just like how there's a difference between people who do actual good in the world and douchebag SJWs who spend all day attacking other people on the internet for having a different viewpoint.

    Now see, if any doctors agreed with you, that would prove the Scientologists point.

    People having opinions you don't agree with is not a mental disorder, nor a reason to take away their freedom.

    Because doctors never fuck up, do they? Explain that to the half million American hurt and the quartet million killed every year by medical negligence.

    I'm no fan of cops, but when it comes to killing people who don't deserve it, they don't hold a candle to our medical professionals.
