  1. Re:Not surprising on California DMV Told Google Cars Still Need Steering Wheels · · Score: 1

    Wrong. This is playing it anti-safe. You put that wheel and pedals back, and you allow idiots to take over control of the kinetic warhead.

  2. Re:In other words on ICANN Offers Fix For Domain Name Collisions · · Score: 1

    ICANN should just reserve a TLD or two for private networks similar to how some IP ranges were reserved in RFC1918.>

    Yeah, but who will be responsible for handing ICANN the annual briefcase-full-of-large-bills to pay for such a scheme?

  3. UI on Ask Slashdot: Should You Invest In Documentation, Or UX? · · Score: 1

    As everyone knows, having the letters in an acronym actually match the first letter of the word they stand for is stupid, so you should invest a very large amount of money replacing every instance of "UI" with "UX".

  4. Re:Nobody kills Java on Oracle Hasn't Killed Java -- But There's Still Time · · Score: 1

    Nothing I said contradicts that.

    So, when you said this:

    How often do you see Java browser applets used anyway? Not that much,

    you didn't say that?

    You ever heard of that big payroll company called ADP? They use a Java 6 applet (one that refuses to run if you even have vague thoughts about installing JRE 7 or 8) for their time card software. Lots of big companies outsource their payroll to ADP, therefore lots of big companies are still using Java applets as a core function of their business.

  6. Re:Colorize on Free Copy of the Sims 2 Contains SecuROM · · Score: 1

    Of course it looks stupid. Stupidity is required to use apostrophes as a form of pluralization.

  7. Re:The same way many global warming papers got pub on How Did Those STAP Stem Cell Papers Get Accepted In the First Place? · · Score: 1

    Viola.

    What does kindling in the shape of an over-sized violin have to do with it?

  8. Obviously not a honeypot on Popular Shuttered Torrent Site Demonoid Returns · · Score: 1

    demonoid.ph is running on IPv6. Those MAFIAA guys are technophobes, and we all know they wouldn't touch IPv6 with a ten foot pole.

  9. Re:terminology on Google Fiber: No Charge For Peering, No Fast Lanes · · Score: 1

    Aw, damn. I was hoping to call them and ask if they could peer into my apartment.

  10. Re:Lol... on EA Ending Online Support For Dozens of Games · · Score: 1

    They'd rather sue third parties who try to support it, as has happened to several reverse-engineered servers for games that the publisher stopped supporting.

  11. Re:Bad example on Autonomous Car Ethics: If a Crash Is Unavoidable, What Does It Hit? · · Score: 1

    By that logic, my failure to donate a kidney means I have murdered approximately 4000 people every year since 1999 who have died on kidney transplant waiting lists. You, sir, need to find some better bullshit to spew.

  12. Re:really??? on Reason Suggests DoJ Closing Porn Stars' Bank Accounts · · Score: 2

    Once more, we ask you: What liberals?

  13. Suspension of Disbelief on Why Should Game Stories Make Sense? · · Score: 1

    I couldn't describe to you each individual plot point in a book I read last year. Whether you can remember every little tidbit of dialogue years later isn't important. While I'm playing, though, the plot line is right there in front of me, and all the previous bits and pieces are at the front of my mind. You throw in something that doesn't mesh with the plot in the least bit (i.e. Portal robot spheres in Skyrim, the talking dog in Skyrim, various other easter eggs in other games), that kicks me out of the game, and I don't want to continue playing. That's why keeping the story consistent is important, you dimwit.

  14. Re:Does not appear to affect the G7 on HP Server Killer Firmware Update On the Loose · · Score: 1

    Here, have a 7 digit to make you stop feeling young, you wrinkly decrepit fossil.

  15. +1 depressing.

  16. Re:Why? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    This is where ratings need to go way above 5.

  17. Re:NETCRAFT CONFIRMS IT! on Will Microsoft IIS Overtake Apache? · · Score: 1

    What's a ./er?

  18. Re:Despite it's name on AMD Announces First ARM Processor · · Score: 1

    So, take one bi-directional port and you have 146 MB, which is more than a gig(abit).

  19. Re:Commodore still kickin' on Schiller Says Apple Is the Last PC Maker From the Mac Era, Forgets About HP · · Score: 1

    If it doesn't have a SID, and I can't POKE its SYS, it's not a Commodore.

  20. Re:Bad call on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 1

    So your argument is essentially "We can't understand it, therefore it must be just like the thing some ignorant and superstitious guy wrote about in a storybook centuries ago." Try harder, please.

  21. Re:Bad call on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 1

    And you've just illustrated the whole point of the quote, by elaborating on how stupidly illogical the idea of a god is.

  22. Reading and comprehension skills on Object Blocking Giant Tunnel Borer Was an 8" Diameter Pipe · · Score: 5, Funny

    Looks like somebody forgot to RTFM.

  23. Re:Bad call on Bill Nye To Debate Creationist Museum Founder Ken Ham · · Score: 1

    Re-read the first and third segments.

    Is he willing to prevent evil, but not able? Then he is impotent. Is he able, but not willing? Then he is malevolent. Is he both able and willing? The whence cometh evil? Is he neither able nor willing? Then why call him God? -Epicurus If he exists, you have four options: fuck him, fuck him, fuck him, and fuck him. If he doesn't exist, then who gives a fuck.

  25. Re:NSA failed to halt subprime lending, though. on NSA Says It Foiled Plot To Destroy US Economy Through Malware · · Score: 1

    The maximum rating of 5 is insufficient.
