  1. Break out the stripes... on Scientists Solve the Mystery of Why Zebras Have Stripes · · Score: 1

    I'll be wearing my striped shirts this summer. It's the best defense against mosquitoes!

  2. Re:Walmart employees, rejoice! on Wal-Mart Sues Visa For $5 Billion For Rigging Card Swipe Fees · · Score: 1

    20% on ONE item, one Christmas year the store gave out 2 20% discounts. I bought my first computer when I was 18 with that 20% discount.

  3. Windows runs 2.6 kernel? on Speedy Attack Targets Web Servers With Outdated Linux Kernels · · Score: 1

    I didn't realize Windows servers were running Linux 2.6 under the hood...fascinating! http://www.whitefirdesign.com/...

  4. Re:Yeah, but women want it all on All Else Being Equal: Disputing Claims of a Gender Pay Gap In Tech · · Score: 5, Insightful

    My ex wanted me to be prince charming, yet claimed I was too insensitive when she started talking to me with disrespect or accusing me of being incompetent or not smart enough to "properly" shingle a roof. She expected me to help out or do most of the "traditional female chores", and do all the "man chores", while we both worked full time and had a child. Not to mention she expected me to be happy in a relationship where she didn't put out, and spent far more than we could afford. She was a well educated, intelligent, good looking, had hobbies and interests, modern woman. We are both 130+ IQs, she had 2 bachelors and I had 1 (though I make 2x what she made). She left looking for something better and has spent the past 5 years saying how there are no good men out there. Even had the balls to say that to my parents. All of her friends are the same way. They take their children with them and expect as much money as they can squeeze out of their ex's. That is the modern view of "equality". Meanwhile I remarried the most opposite person I could find...someone who enjoys taking on traditional female rolls, enjoys being a wife, enjoys taking care of a man, is not lazy in the least bit (though is also educated, has a bachelors in biochem and speaks 3 languages fluently). The budget is balanced even with my ex getting child support and my wife isn't working. I know this relationship will last, because she is not a feminist.

  5. Second movie? on World of Warcraft Film Shooting Begins Early 2014 · · Score: 1

    I thought they already made one...didn't Eric Cartman star in the first one?

  6. DNS filtering for all! on ISPs Warn Europe — Website Blocks Don't Work · · Score: 1

    The EuroISPA is only partially right. The determined people will find a way around it, but even if you stop 50% of it, then it's worth it. How hard is it for each ISP to run DNS servers like OpenDNS and by default block out pornography unless the subscriber otherwise enables it.

  7. Re:"Creating pedophiles" actually happens on ISPs Warn Europe — Website Blocks Don't Work · · Score: 1

    Internet porn in general desensitizes people to do things they normally wouldn't had they not been exposed and takes away from intimacy in general. Someone who watches child pornography did not start there, the porn that is considered acceptable by our society usually comes first. If you trace the root cause of the problem...it comes down to lust being an acceptable behavior, even homosexuality.

  8. Mistwalker...the new Square! on Final Fantasy XIV Launches To Scathing Reviews · · Score: 1

    They have declined in quality over the years...I loved 7,8, and 10. I never finished 13...just got bored. I'm hoping that the FF creator, who is over at Mistwalker now, will come out with something new. I really got into Blue Dragon.
