  1. Re:No wrongful death? on Rutger's Student Dharun Ravi Sentenced To 30-Day Jail Time · · Score: 1

    It's not his fault that society looks down on gay sex and that gay teens are so embarrassed of it.

  2. Re:Irrefutable fact on Disentangling Facts From Fantasy In the World of Edison and Tesla · · Score: 1, Funny

    There is no argument. Kirk is obviously the superior one. All who claim otherwise are simply deluded.

  3. Re:Trendsetting on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO · · Score: 1

    You Americans should take some tips from the French, minus the beheading and all that. I'm sure the American South can help you out with CEO Monster Rally instead.

  4. Re:Unfair taxes ! on Facebook Co-Founder Saverin Gives Up U.S. Citizenship Before IPO · · Score: 1

    I propose that private property is theft. Why does it not belong to the people? It is robbing from the public to give to the individual. Profit is also theft. To attain profit one must pay a worker less than he actually produces. See how that works?

  5. Re:Good luck on Phoronix Confirms GNU/Linux Steam and Source Engine Clients · · Score: 1

    I don't think the GNU/Linux community should embrace anything DRM, like Steam. We already don't like proprietary software as it is hard to work with, why tack on DRM to it too?

  6. Re:insert picture of exasperated 50's guy on The Ugly Underbelly of Coder Culture · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I'm tired of this. Why must they always bitch and complain? Do women not have the same opportunity to do the same work? Since when do they exclude women from such programs in universities? Last I heard they give them women-only scholarships to encourage them. Now they are bashing the very people that work in the industry, all while ignoring that there are plenty of women there who did not have these imaginary problems. If you have a problem with the people you're going to work with before you even start, then it's your problem, not ours.

  7. Re:There you have it on Tennessee "Teaching the Controversy" Bill Becomes Law · · Score: 1

    I always thought it would be funny if there was a "cure" for homosexuality. The reactions of both bible thumpers and gay people would be priceless.

  8. Re:Wrong on Matt Groening Reveals Springfield Is In His Home State of Oregon · · Score: 1

    What I believe he really meant is that the real Springfield, for him, it's in Oregon, but it's also in your state too because you're supposed to do that.

  9. There you have it on Tennessee "Teaching the Controversy" Bill Becomes Law · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Politicians killing science in the American south. I wonder what they'll try to make controversial next. Gravity, perhaps?

  10. Defends itself, or its writing? on EA Defends Itself Against Thousands of Anti-Gay Letters · · Score: 1, Troll

    EA was criticized, not for including same sex relationships, which many games do, but for delivering it in such a stupid way that it was just jarring. It was also criticized because of its online pass scheme, the fact that it shuts down good devs, and because it routinely takes advantage of consumer trust to sell a sub-par product at premium prices. If anything, the gay community should be offended by how they were portrayed in the mass effect universe.

  11. Re:Non-sense! on You're Driving All Wrong, Says NHTSA · · Score: 2

    Only as far as the actual airbag explosion goes. It still might make your hand run into things, like the windscreen or the object coming through your windscreen.

  12. Re:don't buy the fucking thing then on iFixit's Kyle Wiens On the War On DIY Electronics · · Score: 1

    Some of us grew up tinkering with machines and being a handy man turns the wife on, at least I hope it does. You should try it sometime.

  13. Re:don't buy the fucking thing then on iFixit's Kyle Wiens On the War On DIY Electronics · · Score: 1, Informative

    If you have trouble fixing your dishwasher, or fridge, then you have problems. Those are easy and you can get manuals and schematics from the manufacturer most of the time. As for your car, yes that is a a walled garden. They do that on purpose. I don't care that others want their things to just work, but should I use the same things just because others are content to overpay? I don't think so. It's like telling me that I should not be angry that my car now cannot have oil changes at home because most people would prefer not to do it themselves. I don't care, and an iPad is a device I won't buy.

  14. Re:don't buy the fucking thing then on iFixit's Kyle Wiens On the War On DIY Electronics · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why is this modded down? For once, Anonymous Coward is perfectly correct. Don't buy their products. We already know that Apple is about walled gardens and taking control from the user.

  15. Re:The people will be the ones who suffer on Iran Deleted From the World's Banking Computers · · Score: 1

    You do know Afghanistan is on our side, yes?

  16. Re:HotS on Can $60 Games Survive? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I don't care either, because I'm just going to pirate if I they keep doing this sort of thing. Video Game companies make massive profits. I really doubt that they need to raise the price again, but whatever.

  17. Re:Play music on Spider Silk Spun Into Violin Strings · · Score: 1

    I don't know about you, but just listening to that makes me itchy. I can't stand anything to do with spiders.

  18. Re:For humanity? Nope... on DARPA-Funded 'Cheetah' Breaks Speed Record For Legged Robots · · Score: 4, Funny

    I don't know man, I really can't think of a lot of things to do with a robot other than having it run after terrified people. Terminator ruined me.

  19. Re:And in other news... on US Prosecutors Have a Sealed Indictment On Assange, Say Leaked Files · · Score: 1

    At this point you are voting for the lesser evil, not the better candidate. There are no good candidates.

  20. Re:Whom to blame on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    The effects that could come from that are already crimes. Don't you see that? We can already punish the perpetrators of subsequent violence, so why do we need this?

  21. Re:New classification needed on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    An argument from popularity won't get you very far, after all, we used to think a year ago that being a homosexual was grounds from being removed from military service, yet it was wrong. Would you argue that it is only wrong now that everyone has "agreed"?

  22. Re:Whom to blame on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    I just noticed you are the same person. I rarely read user names, since they are hard to see for me. I did not mean to "track you," and I'm sorry you feel that way. Also why so angry? And yeah, I'm arguing with you just for fun. I'm sick in bed what do you want me to do? I'm going to end it here, since you seem angry.

  23. Re:New classification needed on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    The law can be wrong, ever wondered that? Else I wouldn't be arguing that hate crime laws are wrong. So no, the law can't "prove me wrong."

  24. Re:Hate crimes... on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    I think that you know quite well what my opinion on this issue is. If it's somehow wrong, then attack it.

  25. Re:intent is often important on Dharun Ravi Trial: Hate Crime Or Stupidity? · · Score: 1

    The difference is in the amount of brutality in the crime, but both are murder and so are no different. I thought this would be obvious.
