    I wonder what kind of genius thought the stupid lights were a good idea...

  2. Re:Terrible Idea on Should Tesla Make Batteries Instead of Electric Cars? · · Score: 1

    To be fair, it's quite easy to build a car that handles better than an American sedan.

    Tell me how Lotus was involved in the Model S.

    I have never seen a real camera with anything close to a blinking LED. Those just scream "Fake!". I doubt anybody is stupid enough to fall for that kind of crap, especially since they can just browse Amazon to check for popular fake cameras and learn what fake ones look like.

    Maybe that's why some parking garages around here always have classical music playing...

    You say it works. You seem to be the only person on the planet for whom it works.

  7. "No reliable solution" on Apple's Revenge: iMessage Might Eat Your Texts If You Switch To Android · · Score: 0

    What an idiotic statement. There's a very easy solution. If user has not been available on iMessage for more than reasonable amount of time, no more than a day, fall back to SMS.

    Stupidly easy solution.

    Uhmm... Office 2013 is available as a standard license, like it's always been...

    The C Programming Language, so they learn how to properly document their work.

  10. Re:Economics? or Science? on Wyoming Is First State To Reject Science Standards Over Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Let's produce matter out of nothing! That's what you are suggesting (disregarding the fact that only so much gas can be held within the atmosphere due to the required equilibrium of gravity and expansion).

    If we could do that, we sure as hell would not need to be discussing any of this.

    Sure there is. Not everyone covers their ears and starts shouting, afraid of the truth.

    Economics. How scientific. /s

    That's what's typically done, from what I know.

  14. Re:A good sign on Programming Language Diversity On the Rise · · Score: 1

    The only reason plain C isn't typically as opaque as C++ is that there isn't much to try. The IOCCC is proof enough that the problem wasn't created by C++.

  15. Re:getting real sick of this on First Transistors Made Entirely of 2-D Materials · · Score: 1

    Well, string theory is closer to religion than actual science, so it's no wonder it's hard to understand.

    Do you complain to magazine/newspaper editors that their headline puns aren't exactly the most appropriate ones?

    That does not mean they do not occupy three-dimensional space.

    If that is the best citation you can come up with, it's a good thing you're just another stupid AC.

  19. Re:82% was always suspect on Actual Results of Crimean Secession Vote Leaked · · Score: 1

    I suspect the whole thing was just some theatrical performance for Russian internal consumption. Nobody who's been through a decent number of truly democratic elections would believe such a result.

    Last time, someone pointed out that it did happen at least once for a democratic vote to yield a 80-something% result, but it's certainly the exception.

    3) Deserves a massive [Citation Needed] sticker. The only covert operations of which there is any proof is the massive Russian involvement.

    Not at all. Place your transmission in Neutral. Even in a modern automatic, the chances of unintended acceleration AND a misbehaving transmission controller happening simultaneously are minimal.

    Well, you could wire the PSU's ON signal wire or the POWER GOOD wire to a mechanical switch and achieve instant power-off.
