  1. Re:Suckaz on Onion Story Gets Blown Out of Proportion · · Score: 1

    So you really believe *all* people in group X exhibit characteristic Y.

    How did this happen? We're smarter than this.

  2. Re:Suckaz on Onion Story Gets Blown Out of Proportion · · Score: 1

    No, YOU provide the link.

    No, the burden of proof is on you. You make a broad, reckless and unverifiable claim by saying "all right-wingers are racist failures". Accusations of racism are impossible to disprove, which is why they're a handy first resort for people like you.

    So get started polling those right-wingers. We'll wait.

    They can not believe a black liberal is president, that a black man is smarter and more powerful than they are. These small minded bigots have always excused their own shortcomings by saying, "I may be a complete failure, but at least I'm not black!"

    Proof or GTFO.

    A) I apologize for not having an onion key, nor being able to find that particular symbol in my character map. It doesn't look like a D to me, but I guess that's a Rorschach thing.
    B) I didn't see any ads. Not once.

    Anyway, there's your reference to the Onion. Not, actually, stripped out at all. Maybe partially obscured, maybe not entirely obvious, but definitely not stripped out.

    Did you not see the Onion-Span in the bottom right corner?

    Yeah, sorry, I fail it.

    A step forward is a step forward. Hell, you might not like it, but Hitler made our first step.

  9. Beards on Lenovo Trying Face Recognition For Logins On New Laptops · · Score: 2, Insightful

    For someone who grows beards and then shaves them off again as regularly as me, this might be a problem. Good thing I don't buy Lenovo computers.

    Well, whoever really said it, we can safely attribute it to Oscar Wilde.

    When I first saw this, I thought Alastair Reynolds was a prophet. Then I found out it was kind of a dumb story. *Yawn*

  12. Re:So... on A Playable PAC-MAN On Google Doodle · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know you can configure your search bar to use Google in *whatever* browser you're using, right? So you don't have to go to Google's home page? I can't remember the last time I typed "www.google.com" into my url bar (before today, when I heard there was something strange in the neighborhood).

    Fixed that for you. He's a *state* senator.

    We can get Toyota to do that.

    I'm not sure that the average driver needs to worry about three dimensions if he can't handle two well enough.

    Yup. Cutting taxes makes people ignorant all right.

    ..who speaks for ET?

  19. Re:Wow! on US Immigration Bill May Bring a National Biometric ID Card · · Score: 1

    Arguing over whether abusive governments or abusive corporations are better is kind of missing the point. I'm sure either would be more than pleased to trample over your liberties if you gave them half a chance - but you go right ahead waving that flag. ...fuckin' Judaean People's Front.

    being known as a company that lets its passengers die is not likely to result in a whole lot of profits. Hell, I know this and I've never run a business in my life.
