  1. Re:First world problems... on EFF: T-Mobile "Binge On" Is Just Throttling of All Data (eff.org) · · Score: 2

    Even if you get LTE speeds all the time, you are still limited. You can argue that your hitting a technological, rather than a business, limitation, but it's still a limit.

  2. Re: Well deserved. on Kid Racks Up $5,900 Bill Playing Jurassic World On Dad's iPad (pcmag.com) · · Score: 0

    Do you even realize how little sense you make? The post you replied to states that a payment method is not required to install free apps, and the passage you quote basically says exactly the same thing.

  3. Re:Err, no - Government does NOT have the right. on Justice Department Shuts Down Huge Asset Forfeiture Program · · Score: 1

    Ultimately, the rights you have are the rights you can enforce, whether singly or as part of a group. The American people have ceded many rights to the Government by dint of not protesting early and loudly enough. And possibly not violently enough.

    The successful landing was on land, not the barge. I don't think shoebox part applies. Still impressive.

  5. Re:"user engagement has gone up" on Facebook Replaces Flash With HTML5 For Videos (facebook.com) · · Score: 1

    Facebook is heavily into A/B testing, so I imagine they've made many hundreds of changes by now where they didn't make that claim. For the changes that didn't pan out, they quietly roll them back and never mention them at all.

    At least he's getting laid. More than you could claim.

  7. Re:Should? Yes. Could? No. on Should a Mars Colony Be Independent? (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    This might shock you, so perhaps you should sit down:

    Nothing is infinitely valuable. Further more, value is determined by the receiver, not the provider.

    Pigs are Liberals?

  9. The Supreme Court has ruled that the Constitution does not apply to US citizens who are passing through immigration on a return trip. It would be absolutely insane to claim that the Constitution would protect non-citizens who are trying to enter, legally or otherwise.

  11. Re:Countdown ... on Disease-Resistant Pigs Latest Win For Gene Editing Technology (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You seem to be confused. Your lack of critical thinking ability is probably tied to your diet. I'd start taking some supplements or something.

    The phrase "your rights end where mine begin" applies here. You have a right to know what you're eating, but you have no general right to force anyone to tell you. If you want to be sure, grow your own food.

    You already have a choice: buy some farm land and grow your own damn food.

  13. Re:who gives a shit? on Wired Thinks It Knows Who Satoshi Nakamoto Is (wired.com) · · Score: 2

    You got lucky. You got in on the ground floor of something which took off (and up, in value). Those coming in later don't and won't see your gains, so it's perfectly reasonable for the vast majority of people to be "meh" at best with respect to bitcoins.

  14. Re:Bitcoin is not controlled by its creator on Wired Thinks It Knows Who Satoshi Nakamoto Is (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what would happen if someone dumped a large percentage of bitcoins on the market, but the idea that day-to-day fluctuations don't affect those using bitcoins to transfer funds is ridiculous. Your own example of a merchant accepting bitcoins through a payment processor is the perfect argument to your thesis. Like any foreign currency, the amount of bitcoins required to complete a transaction will vary depending on the conversion rate between bitcoins and the merchant's "native" currency. If the value of bitcoins depresses, it will take more bitcoins to purchase an item with the same price in "native" currency.

    So? There's no inherent distrust of the US Navy when it comes to security or privacy.

    Personally, I find you to be a bigoted piece of shit, so I just wrinkle my nose and flush the toilet.

    You were going so well, and then then you had to throw in this piece of shit: building nuclear weapons to threaten others. Israel barely acknowledges having the weapons. It certainly doesn't threaten anyone with them.

    Every human, with the exception of the mentally-disabled, is capable of learning and of understanding semantic meaning. There will never be a definition of intelligence that excludes humans which makes any sense. The word was coined to describe attributes of living things, including and especially humans.
