  1. Re:Alright, don't worry, I have experience. on Magma Reservoir Under Yellowstone Is Much Bigger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 0

    what we need to do is dig down to the Magma layer so we can get some diamonds and obsidian

    wouldn't do that... there's probably zerg down there, and if you let them out the protoss will rock up and then we'll all be proper fucked

  4. Re:LOL wut? on Online Retailers Cruising Tor To Hunt For Fraudsters · · Score: 0

    it would make TOR less useful for posting anonymously

    or it would make controversial websites less popular, and whistleblowers would find some other means

    if (when) tor is broken, something else will have already taken over as alternative... its always the way

  5. Re:Is Hydrogen more dangerous than other gasses? on Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Fuel Cells Are 'So Bull@%!#' · · Score: 1

    We deal with Propane, Methane, and other gasses which seem like they would carry a lot more energy and thus be more dangerous. Does hydrogen have a lower flashpoint or some other quality which makes it more dangerous? We can oderize the gas like the others.

    my ass produces very powerful methane en masse, and it is supplied in an odorized form... unfortunately it is a very dangerous, volatile and toxic gas indeed... especially when released in the vicinity of my wife, during which psychosis appears to be a common short term side effect

    There are other kinds, and they offer higher energy storage densities

    I'm saving my money for when the black hole powered car comes out... I thought it was going to be December 21 last year, but production efficiency must really suck.

  7. Re:Sorry, But He's a Douche on Tesla CEO Elon Musk: Fuel Cells Are 'So Bull@%!#' · · Score: 0

    He needs a bigger lobby presence in Washington DC to get any traction in the US auto market. You don't honestly think there's any kind of free market operating in the US at the moment do you?

    Musk would probably have more success if he moved his entire business to the arguably more capitalist economies of Russia or China.

    gnome is ok as long as you're willing to surf the forums to get around its config limitations... only advantage over xfce is slightly easier on the eye and easier to find solutions on forums. i'm not lazy enough to need a gui for every little configuration option, but i'm too lazy to figure out how to shut down without opening a cli in xfce... go figure.

    i still prefer fallback though

    kde is just a bit too fat

  23. republicans should just shut up and play nice... on Congress Reaches Agreement ... On Helium · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    ...cos if they let the democrats get their way the phony overstimulated US economy will implode that much quicker, all the keynesian bullshit can be shown as the total fraud that it is, and then a real free market recovery can commence in ernest.

    as long as the world remains addicted to cheap keynesian money printing, central banking, price-fixing of counterfeit fiat money, and ever increasing government spending, deficits and debt, the burden on taxpayers (aka the working middle class) will always increase till they are pushed into poverty and everyone ends up dependent on government welfare except for the wealthy buddies of politicians in washington dc... which is pretty much where the ussr was before 1985

    People aren't leaving Windows in droves because of the likelihood of NSA backdoors, and the same for Linux.
    There is much higher probability of NSA backdoors in Windows than Linux because (1) closed source and (2) Microsoft is an organization that the NSA can hold sway over

    Torvalds: "Hey there NSA dude. How 'bout you fuck off with your dodgy request for a kernel backdoor, or I'll put a backdoor that allows Wikileaks full access to the NSA Linux datacenters"
