  1. The suspect was dead at that point. Apple was neither protecting, nor violating, anyone's privacy.

  2. Re: Jusr saw it... on Rovio's Desperate Push For 'Angry Birds' Movie (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 2

    Anyone who believes no one should have children due to overpopulation is a complete and total hypocrite. Until they commit suicide, of course.

  3. Re:Same thing in Canada on Netflix and Amazon Could Face Content Quotas In Europe (dailymail.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    That wasn't the argument at all. That you think it is tells us that you are an incurably stupid shit.

  4. Re:O RLY? on Google Announces Allo, Duo, Stable Android N Preview, Instant Apps · · Score: 1

    OTOH, if I worked for Apple, I'd probably be swarmed by lawyers for writing a post like this one, among other things I dislike about Apple's culture. Also, if I worked for Apple my work would have much less impact on the world.

    Another reason to be glad I deal with iOS, and not Android: namely, you don't.

  5. Re:SJW much? on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 1

    I called out SJWs and feminists, two groups most likely to throw in a gratuitous phrase about a shortage of female programmers in an article about drug testing. Do you have a better explanation?

  6. Re:SJW much? on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 1

    The idea that there must be at least one, never mind 20, qualified applicants is itself a rule made up by SJWs. Girls are people too. If they want to work in IT, they can, no matter how they were steered while in elementary school. The "shortage" is self-inflicted by females who don't have any ability to make their own decisions. Apparently.

    Your donkey.

    Unfortunately, most morons fuck. If they didn't, we'd have fewer of them.

    Also unfortunately, it seems that a predisposition for being a moron is a dominant trait in certain populations.

  9. Re:You can't say that. on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    When you wrote It's IMPOSSIBLE all of them are safe, did you mean that literally or "literally"? Because it's absolutely possible that they are all safe. Only idiots would say otherwise.

    I leave it to the experts to determine the probability that they are all safe...

  10. Re:Mixing safety with money making on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    I suppose the fact that these things are tested before seeds are sold is completely lost on you. Do the anti-GMO fuckwads also stay away from modern pharmaceuticals?

  11. Re:It isn't just the crops on Genetically Modified Crops Are Safe, Report Says (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Do you eat the soil the plants grow in? No? Then what does that have to do with the safety of eating GMO products?

  12. SJW much? on Employers Struggle To Find Workers Who Can Pass A Drug Test · · Score: 1, Insightful

    With the software industry already plagued by a shortage of skilled workers, especially female programmers

    The shortage of female programmers is an illusion created by SJWs and feminists who have pulled an acceptable ratio out of their asses/vaginas.

    Given his animosity towards reality, he probably should just stop eating in general.

  14. McAfee is a fuck-up on John McAfee Tried to Trick Reporters Into Thinking He Hacked WhatsApp (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    McAfee should suffer death by a million bee stings. He is an attention whore who deserves the worst the Universe has ever seen.

  15. Your statement is a non-sequitur. No one claimed the average was constant. "More reliable" does not mean "100% reliable", and that you took it as such demonstrates your inability to comprehend simple English.

    Obviously her version would be "don't be evi".

    1) Microsoft does not have a no-reverse-engineering clause related to the SMB protocol.

    2) LM was annoyed because Tridge was breaking an agreement, even if that agreement had no legal strength. Reverse-engineering software that was made available to you on the specific condition that you not do that is being a complete and total asshole, even if it's within your rights. MS didn't care on a personal level.

  18. Re:Freeloaders? on Software Security Suffers as Startups Lose Access To Google's Virus Data · · Score: 1

    You don't seem to understand logic.

    Let's accept the unstated axiom that those who willfully download pirated media are largely the same group who has no problem with Google doing this. That is still not hypocritical, because even those who download such media acknowledge that the producers have a right to prevent it.

  19. No reasonable person would read either quote and classify pushing someone out of harm's way as assault. I am willing to agree that a great many people, including you, are not reasonable.

    The number in the summary was for votes cast in favor of Prop 1. They didn't pay for anyone to vote against them.

  21. I had a chauffeur's license in Michigan, and it was about $10 more per year than a standard license. Is such a license really that much more expensive in Texas?

    No, it's not. Read the summary again. I don't blame you for not getting it. I had to read it twice, too.

    Like the Dead Sea scrolls? Sure, they were actually copies, but had they been originals, we'd still have them ~2000 years later.

    If the content has no DRM added by the Nook, it doesn't sound like a violation at all, and certainly not "blatant".

    Perhaps you should purchase a dictionary and look up the meaning of "blatant".

  25. Mental masturbation on Are We Alone In the Universe? Not Likely, According To Math (cnet.com) · · Score: 2

    The question of whether there is recognizable life outside our solar system is not a matter of statistics. Either there is life, or there isn't. The formula is entirely meaningless; either we (as a species) will encounter such life, or we won't. The likelihood is irrelevant.
