  1. Re:Reads Like An Ad on 'Star In a Jar' Fusion Reactor Works, Promises Infinite Energy (space.com) · · Score: 1

    Sustained fusion that produces more power than it sucks in will be done in the next decade or so. It should have been done back in the 80s or 90s but the funding has reduced hugely from what it originally was. That's why we have this "always X in the future" trope in the first place. The funding has dropped asymptotically.

  2. Re:If if they say "Please!" on New Stegano Exploit Kit Hides Malvertising Code In Banner Pixels (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Tried it in Firefox with uBlock installed. Complains, says it might not run. Doesn't do anything upon clicking 'start test'.

    Then I try it on a browser with no ad blocker. The one I have handy is Edge (because I never use it). I see ads. The test still doesn't do anything.

    I've seen better speed testers to be honest.

    I'm a white, cisgendered male, and feel none of the pathetic fear that you do. They can ask women whatever they like and it's fine by me. Just as well we're not all like you isn't it?

  4. Re: An Actual Comment About the Article on Microsoft Researchers Offer Predictions For AI, Deep Learning (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It must be weird to be quite so pathetic/scared of women. What do you find so threatening about them? Is it because you're a fucking hideous troll, or something? That tends to be the case, I find.

    I daresay you've had enough sandwiches for one morning.

    In the context of this, it matters, because it's the point. It's reassuring to know, though, that all of you with these yucky views are apparently universally idiotic.

    Liberalism is a mental disorder we simply don't treat yet.

    In much the same way as you cannot see your own eyeball, you don't realise that actually the reason why you're a hateful little cunt, is that you're stupid.

    Incapable of nuanced thinking, in other words.

  8. Re:How is this "news for nerds"? on NASA Awards $127 Million Contract For Refueling Mission Spacecraft (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    It was submitted to the firehose and voted on to the front page. You have helped justify by commenting. Cheers. Oh by the way, space is considered nerdy, I guess you never noticed before.

  9. They can shove the adapter, and the phone, just as apple can shove theirs.

  10. Text on amoleds is also less well readable.

    Weird. I have a S6 edge workphone, and I can read it fine.

  11. Uh, there will be smartphones with headphone jacks for decades to come. Sorry mate.

    Because he mildly pointed out that only someone with a massive chip on their shoulder would claim that only those "bad guys" are seen since 68? Nah. Calm refutation. Perhaps it's you who had a raw nerve touched?

    Heheh. Sandals and man-buns are a lifestyle thing. This car that Apple make, you simply know ahead of time that it will be gimped in certain key ways that will delight Apple fans and frustrate the fuck out of everybody else.

    Tyres sound like a great item to make non-user-replacable.

  15. It's clear that you don't often argue against real views or real people. Have fun with your carefully maintained ignorance.

  16. Re:This works for me on China Chases Silicon Valley Talent Who Are Worried About Trump Presidency (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The one advantage of the Chinese setup is you don't get a demagogue rising to the top purely by promising the ignorant and hateful everything they hope to get (basically make brown people go bye-bye isn't it?). I guess the next four years will reveal if that's important or not.

  17. Re:Yearly upgrades! on Apple Says It Is Working On Self-Driving Cars (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    It's problematic for Apple though. Cars aren't a high margin industry, but I can imagine them selling something that looks quite like a SMART car with an Apple logo, maybe for about £150,000. People will definitely pay.

    It'll be interesting to see what bit of a car that we generally think of as indispensable Apple will courageously remove. I'm thinking maybe door handles, wipers, something like that.

    Doubtless there will be patents involved too. Mind you, even the crazy rubber-stamping patent office of today surely won't award Apple a patent for a car with rounded wheels.

    The important thing is that you label people in a way that makes them easy to think about. Nuanced models of reality, in your head, are HARD. Hence, evil Socialists are doing everything bad.

    I dare say that this fellow, upon dropping his toast on the ground and finding it butter-side-down, is inclined to fly into a rage at the Ebil Socialists what did it.

    The bizarre rant about "Socialists" reduced you from 'interesting point' to 'ramblings of a nutcase' in about 10 seconds. Weird.

    It's OK, he didn't really want it to help. He was just being flippant.

    I notice he didn't go for the typical "your" a faggot though - that puts him in the top 0.0225% intelligence bracket for the "opens with you're a faggot" crowd.
