  1. Re:Message to the intolerant on Pakistan's PM Demands International Blasphemy Laws From UN · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I guess you didn't realize this amazingly advanced logic but as a christian, compared to muslims, one of us is correct and one is not. There is no "tolerance" when both religions demand that there be no other fake religions. The only person who can truly promote "tolerance" is one who thinks we're both wrong and that's atheists, which is around 18% of the US and the US is not rules by an 18% majority system. So we disagree, deal with it.

  2. Re:Good luck with those new map service. on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 0

    You seem to be forgetting that every review on the planet say the new Samsung Galaxy is an overall better phone than the iPhone 5. And here we have an Apple fanboy, people.

  3. Re:Good luck with those new map service. on iOS 6 Adoption Tops 25% After Just 48 Hours · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Why even bother to post that? iOS device users DO NOT read reviews of anything ever. Wanna know why? They don't ever admit that anything from Apple is inferior in any way or has any flaw. And the high adoption rate is because of their legendary money management skills, lol.

    Maybe if we apologize to them more, they'll like us.

    Fuck that! Find Iranian governments' world of Warcraft accounts and retaliatorily delete them!

    Nah ah! My friend, Phyuk Zyukerberg is totally legit. Everyone knows him; he won 2 emmies! Look it up...on wikipedia, lol.

  6. oh yeah, real popular on US House STEM Visa Bill Fails · · Score: -1

    I couldn't get a job as a programmer for 3 years despite beating 82% of all programmers on the standard programming assessment for a gigantic multi-national contracting company and now I work as a head IT manager instead because I'm trained in everything else and have 2 degrees. So to all those foreign students with high education degrees, GET THE HELL OUT! Why the fuck would this article say the bill is popular with anyone anywhere ever? It's a job-stealing catastophuck.

  7. golden rule on The Case For Targeted Ads · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Don't forget the golden rule of business! It applies to advertising as well. It is: "If customers hate your product, fuck you, I hope you go out of business."
    Sorry, web advertising. There's always Valpak, lol.

  8. reminds me of a similar, way funnier case on Wi-Fi Illness Claim Doesn't Impress New Mexico Court · · Score: 2

    Anyone else recall that one group of people who all said they were suffering from symptoms due to wifi? As soon as the complaint was filed, it was switched off and a month later, they were demanding that it be turned off because their symptoms were worsening and the company that owned it revealed it had been switched off a month prior. They lost the case. Dumbasses.

  9. According to wikipedia, the storyline is a guy wants to go slay a troll and instead they end up talking and complaining and then...the end. How could anyone possibly turn a story like that into a movie that didn't utterly suck? It sounds like Ayn Rand redid Forest Gump but 100x worse.

  10. Re:Google, Apple on Motorola Seeks Ban On Macs, iPads, and iPhones · · Score: 1

    fuuuuuuck noooooooo!!!!! They drew a giant target on themselves which is especially easy when their logo is a traditional archery target. That bullshit lawsuit that they got damn lucky with because there was some Apple fanboy assholes on the jury started it and now everyone else is going to end it. It's never, ever going to be "over" now until Apple is bankrupt.

  11. kinda like 1970's computers on Richard Branson 'Determined To Start a Population On Mars' · · Score: 1

    Why waste all that money now to make one thing that's a bit of a stretch with our current technologies when we can wait 50 years and then probably teleport to Mars with a $10,000 device? It's like building some big, elaborate $100,000 computer that takes up an entire room just to run some 8-bit encryption algorithm or something when you could just wait a decade or so and tada, there's something 100x better for $2000.

  12. laws of physics, people on Is the Can Worse Than the Soda? · · Score: 1

    BPA unfortunately cannot violate the laws of physics/thermodynamics. If you don't take in more chemical energy than you use in a day, you will not gain weight. Your car can't run on magic, neither can your body.

  13. probably Zuckerberg's idea on Apple's Secret Plan To Join iPhones With Airport Security · · Score: 1

    Hmm so a device constantly transmits all my most important personal info using a VERY insecure technology. Are you sure this wasn't Zuckerberg's idea? Plus, anyone planning or already convicted of something bad would probably purposely NOT CARRY AN iPHONE! So this does absolutely nothing. I say go for it, Apple! I'm waiting patiently for Apple to burn to ground for making such stupid decisions and being so unbelievably evil and this will speed it up a lot.

  14. not surprising on The Rise of Paid Wikipedia Consulting · · Score: 1

    Wikipedia was a non-working idea from the ground up. It never could possibly work and the way it's designed would always have problems. You can't take something with that many blatant flaws and make it work. This isn't going to go away.

  15. Re:Metal detector? on Nestle's GPS Tracking Candy Campaign · · Score: 1

    I think an RF detector set to GPS frequencies would be a lot faster. This is dumb x10. They make Lean Cuisine promotions look smart and they don't even know that men buy their products apparently. So people will accidentally eat the GPS device? Great promotions/law suit inducer.

  16. Re:ONLY A BIT ?? on Researchers Create Silicon-Based Quantum Bit · · Score: 1

    Not necessarily but it begs the question, has anyone gotten one of these to "go fast" yet? They're supposed to be some kind of magical unlimited 2-state ultimate binary data processing device. I think I heard that got one to add like 1 + 1 or something but has anyone else gotten one to run at like an equivilant of 1GHz yet?

    I'm not going to do the math but I bet it'd be cheaper to put an armed air marshal on every single US flight instead.

    Well how the hell did they do it at the LHC? Just build another one of those, lol. I know, I know, probably less particles involved but still, nothing ever touched the tube and they didn't crush (except once when it blew a hole out the side).

    What do you call something that smashes things together but doesn't exist?

    A headline! Juuuuust kidding, it's not a headline. It's a PR press release. Look how every sentence is phrased in the future tense and says might or will or could.

  21. Re:Tubes Eaten Away on Fusion Power Breakthrough Near At Sandia Labs? · · Score: 1

    Dude, it's magnetic containment. That's kinda the point. It keeps the really hot particles from ever touching the tube. It takes a buttload of energy to run but compared to fusion, not that much.

    BUT it does run at 1.1GB/s so that might just be why :-D There's also a $1000 slow model, same capacity. Oh and btw, four 256GB OCZ Agility 4's in a RAID0 would be $660 and each chip in those is rumored to last 9000+ write cycles (3x Intel's).

  24. whaaaaaat? on Are SSDs Finally Worth the Money? · · Score: 1

    WTF planet are they shopping on? Unless they're comparing a 500GB spinning drive to a 512GB SSD, that's just utterly wrong. Regardless, it comes down to if the customer needs the space or not. Out of my 400 or so past customers, around 10 of them have filled over 70GB on their hard drive. That means the other 390 are good to go with an $80 OCZ Vertex 4 (they were on sale when I bought them, lol). So this 3x the price bullshit is ridiculous. I can't find a price on a 120GB spinning SATA drive since they basically don't exist anymore but if you don't need the space, a 320GB HDD is $80+ so there you go. All of the last 6 PCs I built for customers had SSDs in them. They're all around $500-675 retail and with mostly pentium sandy bridge chips, they feel so much faster than my $1000 gaming rig at home, it's not even fair. For almost all the builds, it was slightly more expensive to pick up a decent 500GB spinning disk than it was to get a blazing SSD.
