  1. Re:Search algorithm failure and Yelp on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 2

    This is the kind of failure that dead tree media warned us about.

  2. Re:Yelp is an example of free-market failure on Small Restaurant Out-Maneuvers Yelp In Reviews War · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The key to successful anarchy is ethical behavior.

  3. Re:Obviously. on Link Between Salt and High Blood Pressure 'Overstated' · · Score: 1

    If it was indeed (sucrose) sugar, you probably could not taste it, mostly it helps darken the tan. High-Fructose Corn Syrup has a nasty, cloying after-taste that has ruined a great majority of what were once edible food items. I have to cook a lot from scratch these days to avoid disgusting ersatz "food" products. Read the ingredient list, most products also use hydrogenated oils which seem to be the reason most of y'all are so fucking fat. I have eschewed that particular by-product since the 70's because of the superior flavor of butter, but I think my health (certainly my waistline) is better off for it.

  4. A.C. Troll savors fecal flavor on Figuring Out Where To Live Using Math · · Score: 1

    I, also, am priced out of neighborhood. Not a race issue.
    You, OTOH, serve to demonstrate the risks inherent to inbreeding.

  5. Re:Looks like the moderators think you're a fuckta on Figuring Out Where To Live Using Math · · Score: 1

    Internet bandwidth is an important consideration, IMO. I'm going to hook onto the fiber right from the farm in Oregon.
    Ha-Ha!

  6. Red Rock Hill on Figuring Out Where To Live Using Math · · Score: 1

    My personal criteria for home location is pretty much Climate, and Volcanic Activity. YMMV.
    OTOH, in the part of San Francisco I'm in right now, my elderly neighbors are safe on the streets 24/7, I guess the shmoogs don't want to hike up the hill or something. One evening I noticed a neighbor had left the car windows open with four sacks of groceries in the back seat, all still there at 0800 the next morning. Looked like two hundred dollars' worth, at least.
    We are under-supplied with dirtbags here, that's all. The phenomenal prices help.

  7. ORLY? on Ask Slashdot: What Recliner For a Software Developer? · · Score: 1

    I find ergonomic chairs to be the very most important issue in the entire panoply of tech issues.
    YMMV, but A.C.s suck, with their ill-considered comments, don't they?

  8. Re: Gettin All Up In Yo Biznis on Swedish Dad Takes Gamer Kids To Warzone · · Score: 1

    That's been my method. Nobody listens any more.
    I did save a lot of grief by teaching my kid to watch his own ass.

  9. RTFS on Synolocker 0-Day Ransomware Puts NAS Files At Risk · · Score: 1

    Amazing! Somebody is paying attention.

  10. Astroturfing on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 1

    Wow; This is an amazing thread. Does it pay very well?
    I can blow smoke rings outta my ass as well as any of you.

  11. Re:To this day, 95% of our earth’s oceans re on Earth In the Midst of Sixth Mass Extinction: the 'Anthropocene Defaunation' · · Score: 1

    That's the part which is most abiotic.

  12. Re:Reasonable Suspicion on The Secret Government Rulebook For Labeling You a Terrorist · · Score: 1

    I strongly suspect this Eric Holder fellow is a sniveling weenie.
    He's prominently featured on a very long list of useless, fucked-up people.

  13. Re:Earth abides... on Australia Repeals Carbon Tax · · Score: 1

    Existing and living are not the same thing.

    Your information is false.

  15. Re:Automation is killing jobs faster than ever on FBI Concerned About Criminals Using Driverless Cars · · Score: 1

    Stopping behind the limit line as the regulation demands is one of those random, unexpected things that upsets others and causes accidents here. The full stop is apparently the most dangerous and anti-social move of all. I am a menace.

  16. Ad hominem. on Neanderthals Ate Their Veggies · · Score: 1

    I have been calling certain sorts "Coprophage" for years. Not one has yet understood the term.
    I was not popular in school

  17. Re:great way to increase rate of autism on Match.com, Mensa Create Dating Site For Geniuses · · Score: 1

    So smart == anti-social?

    Yes.

  18. Re:Might matter to some of you. on Amazon's 3D Smartphone As a (Useful) Gimmick · · Score: 1

    If Amazon wanted to sell me things, they would not have chosen to engage in sub-ethical business practices.
    They are simply going to have to get by without my custom.

    because you have values other than just capitalism.

    Some of us don't assign much value to Capitalism. YMMV.

  21. Re:Why? on Study: Stop Being So Cynical, You Could Give Yourself Dementia · · Score: 1

    I don't have cynical distrust, I have cynical disdain. I believe incompetence explains more of the problems that we have than actual malignant evil. That's not to say that Human Society and the Entire World is not being ruined by them, but its only a very few doing the real harm.

  22. Re:I can't wait.... on Next IE Version Will Feature Web Audio, Media Capture, ES6 Promises, and HTTP/2 · · Score: 1

    I can wait.
    I don't think I've tried IE since 2009; I've heard it works now, don't care, done with the abuse.

  23. Re:FTFY... on German Scientists Successfully Test Brain-Controlled Flight Simulator · · Score: 1

    Think in Russian.

    That was for the movie; I did not rtfa, but it would be odd to expect German pilots to think in Po-Russki.

  24. Re:Welcome to the future on Author Charles Stross: Is Amazon a Malignant Monopoly, Or Just Plain Evil? · · Score: 1

    This is something musicians and videographers have had to deal with for over a decade now...

    No, its not.
    Actually, this is more like what the Supermarkets have done to the Farmers, but it is Criminal- legal or not. Fuck Amazon.
