    the contrast ratio is literally infinite.

    perryizgr8 is literally an idiot.

  2. The entire process involves human evaluation and a subjective analysis. There are no mistakes, only disagreements with the decisions made.

    (I am not talking about "oops, wrong button!" kind of mistakes, and I assume the article isn't either.)

    It's OK. You're 100 times more stupid than a toaster oven.

  4. It seems you are unable to discern the difference in meaning between terrorism and the root word from which it derives. Not everything that causes terror is terrorism. The word has a specific meaning, though the application is oft-times subjective. A conventional war is not terrorism for the simple reason that neither side cares if civilians are terrorized. They only care who is doing more of the killing and who more of the dying.

    All true. However, the US did give them the opening they needed at this point in history. That something like it was inevitable is not really an excuse for being a piece of shit.

    I guess you fail to understand that the conservatives don't view those events as bad. To you, they were lessons in what not to do, but conservatives have learned other lessons.

  7. Re:Time to change my job description.... on Engineers Nine Times More Likely Than Expected To Become Terrorists (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0

    It was obviously a joke. But, had it been serious, it would also have been a reflection of reality. Most terrorist attacks are carried out by Muslims. That may not have always been true, but it is true today.

  8. Re: OMFG! on Microsoft Blames Layoffs For Drop In Female Employees (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Against my better judgement, I am going to comment instead of modding you down for trolling in your signature.

    The nursing profession has been trying to attract more males for decades. There are a number of reasons for this, including the fact that having physically stronger people around can help a lot with immobile patients.

  9. Re:No effect on me here on Windows 10 Fall Update Uninstalls Desktop Software Without Informing Users (ghacks.net) · · Score: 3, Funny

    It's much worse than you think. Not only did it uninstall every piece of Windows software you had, it deleted itself!

  10. Re:exaggerate much on On iFixit and the Right To Repair (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Apple sells refurbished devices. Going to an Apple Store and exchanging your broken device for a working one isn't a major problem, environmentally speaking. Of course it costs you more money, but that's a separate issue.

  11. Re:exaggerate much on On iFixit and the Right To Repair (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    If it's worth fixing, Apple will fix it and sell it as refurbished. Only applies to Apple hardware, obviously.

    How is that ironic?

  13. Pull a Sony Pictures on Disney IT Workers Prepare To Sue Over Foreign Replacements (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    The employees should publish every bit of data they have access to and them wipe every system on the network.

    And then blame it on North Korea.

    It's also only for people whose reading comprehension actually is measurable.

  15. Re:That won't last long... on "Clock Boy" Ahmed Mohamed Seeking $15 Million In Damages · · Score: 1

    Given what he intended it to look like, combined with the number of school shootings in the past 10 years in the US, combined with the fact that Muslims are known to blow themselves up for shits and giggles, I think it was valid to at least ask a few questions.

    Or if he actually suffered!

    He didn't suffer in the slightest. He should be paying for all the attention he got, not being paid for it. And his father should be raped by a bulldog.

    It would do you a world of good to take some of that McDonalds's coffee and dunk your head in it for approximately 30 minutes.

    If anything, the teachers should be suing him for mental anguish, not the other way around.

    I dunno. He's not violent, but he and his family are now terrorizing the school district and/or the police department.

    He was told to do what he did, and his father almost certainly coached him on how to "show" it in class to garner the precise reaction he got. Ahmed and his family should be airdropped into Aleppo and left to fend for themselves.

    He was probably also a nice person, which means you and he are nothing alike.

    Most questions are rather poor, have too little information provided, or require familiarity with the specific library the questioner is asking about. Not all questions are answerable with the information provided, and many times the questioner will ignore any request for clarification.

    Wasn't that the idea behind the free software movement, not having to re-invent the wheel each time?

    No. At least not if you mean Stallman's Free Software movement. His goal was to prevent obsolescence of hardware by the manufacturer, but allowing for the customer to add features or fix bugs in the accompanying software.
