  1. Yeah baby on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    That's what I call some Nye sass. I love me some Nye sass.

  2. Re:Highlander III did it already... on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    But when he said it it came out as 'shit on ma faysh'.

  3. Re:Highlander III did it already... on What If We Lost the Sky? · · Score: 1

    Oh come on. Zardoz is classic hilarious dystopian future cheese. Highlander is nothing in comparison.

  4. Re:Other green fuel sources. on Apple To Invest $2B Building Green Data Centers In Ireland and Denmark · · Score: 1

    In Ireland it would have to be turf. No indigenous coal supply.

  5. Re:Why not in the US? on Apple To Invest $2B Building Green Data Centers In Ireland and Denmark · · Score: 1

    Surely it would be more circumspect to place said eggs in a custom made styrofoam container rather than the 'basket' you suggest. This basket is surely unsuited to the task and will most likely result in breakage of its contents. Am I missing the point?

    Probably just fast growing conifers anyway. It's not like there is much deciduous forest left in Ireland.

    Where will they find a few thousand acres of forest in Athenry?

  8. Re: Wait ... on A123 Sues Apple For Poaching Employees · · Score: 1

    Easy to say, but in my situation I had a 'friendly' conversation with the company lawyer warning me against contacting the clients. No way could I afford to fight it. Still, as time has passed and things become clearer it is easy to see who was the lesser human being. Former boss was a lazy, incompetent fool and killed his own business and I'm better off nowhere near the guy.

  9. Re:Nice work if you can get it on Pandora Pays Artists $0.001 Per Stream, Thinks This Is "Very Fair" · · Score: 2

    Well said. So tired of these bitter neck beards griping that they get paid just the once for writing some code and hating the fact that musicians get paid peanuts when and if they actually sell any copies of their music - having NOT been paid anything at all up front. As a musician I would suggest that financially the effort put in to creating the music is a sort of investment, with the hope that the recordings will be enjoyed and become somewhat popular. Someone such as myself can't survive on my music output, but it is good to get a cheque every couple of months for music I have made over the years. I also give away lots of my music for free.

  12. Give up! on Smart Rendering For Virtual Reality · · Score: 1

    Apple will soon put a stop to their innovation! Hurray for patents!

  13. Re: Wait ... on A123 Sues Apple For Poaching Employees · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but the company went out of business, so we were potentially both competing for the same clients. What it was worth to the douchebag was a lousy two weeks severance.

  14. Re:Seriously, an Apple car? on A123 Sues Apple For Poaching Employees · · Score: 0

    I have used macs for years and after buying the computers have had almost zero additional cost paid to Apple. What are you talking about? Reliable (for the most part) computers that need almost no maintenance? What is wrong about that? what is this myth? Jeez, you guys get all kinds of stupid when it come to a discussion of anything to do with Apple products. Would charge a fortune for trivial tasks? What does this even mean?

  18. Re: Wait ... on A123 Sues Apple For Poaching Employees · · Score: 1

    But what employee has the wherewithall to fight a court case if it come to that? I never signed anything but my former employer had his lawyer call me to say in a 'friendly' way that I should not call on former clients. I was in no position to argue.
