  1. I get that logic on Germany Approves Plans To Fine Social Media Firms Up To $57M (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If someone takes a chalk marker and draws something anti-Semitic on a window, you must go after the window manufacturer!

  2. Keep him out until Firefox stops getting stuck in some kind of processing loop and crashing. I'm getting REALLY sick of that.

  3. No wonder these morons are working minimum wage jobs. They sure as hell can't do math and don't know how economics or business math works.

  4. Might I take the opportunity to point out that you can be reeeeeally smart and still not smart enough to own a gun "just in case." You know, just in case someone breaks in and stabs you.

  5. Can we instead just let all the dumbass vegetarians die off? Humans are designed to eat meat. We require large amounts of unique amino acids that are virtually impossible to get from plants. Why cater to those idiots? I suppose since cows are destroying the planet, it's not all bad, but then again it's a vegan mayonnaise company.

  6. Re:Show of Weakness on Ohio Government Websites Hacked With Pro-Islamic State Messages (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    ...and also they'll be burning in hell. Other than that, yeah, good luck.

  7. This author is a moron on 'Chiropractors Are Bullshit' (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    What the fuck Chiropractor has this author been going to? Some new age one? Mine has a degree is biology and teaches at a university. She knows how joints and the skeletal system works and actually fixes problems.

  8. Execute him! on FCC Proposes $120 Million Fine On Florida Robocall Scammer (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    I got SOOOO many freaking calls from this assholes. It's time to execute him. We need that much of a chilling effect on this problem. Not even fucking around, half my call volume at my business is spam, scams, and shit like this. HALF. 50% of the time the phone rings, it is a scam. That is UNACCEPTABLE!

  9. Hey guys, how do you nominate someone for the Nobel prize?

  10. This is absolute proof that the biggest mistake AMD ever made was stopping production of desktop CPUs to make console CPUs for whoever that contract as with. Now that they're done with that and they're back making desktop CPUs and server CPUs, a MUUUUUCH larger market, they're crushing Intel. That garbage socket that's the replacement for x99 is rushed, glitchy, overpriced garbage which is how a complacent Intel has always done business in the last 5 years.

  11. It is absolutely not possible on Stephen Hawking Says He Is Convinced That Humans Need To Leave Earth (sciencealert.com) · · Score: 0

    We would need exactly the same gravity, exactly the same atmospheric pressure, exactly the same minerals in our diet, exactly the same level of radiation, etc. Humans cannot survive even on Mars and living there is a lie. Every serious scientist knows that. The probability of finding a habitable planet is effectively zero.

  12. idiotic and impossible on South Korea Signs On To Build Full-Scale Hyperloop System (newatlas.com) · · Score: 0

    Here's the thing about hyperloops. You maintain a vacuum you need intense, spread-out pressure along a sturdy structure like an arc/circle/triangle/whatever. If you so much as take a good swing at it with a hammer when it's at a near-vacuum, you ruin the shape and it collapses in a massive, loud implosion. Look up "truck vacuum collapse" on youtube if you're not familiar. These aren't just sensitive to terrorist attacks, they're sensitive to a car running into them and killing everyone on the train. Heck a baseball bat would probably destroy it let alone a rifle round ruining the vacuum AND they're miles and miles long, which you can't guard 24/7. Hyperloops are simply impossible.

  13. Yay, headline-bait garbage! If you don't plug an ethernet cable into it or tell it your SSID and wifi password, then I guess there's no threat at all and they won't sneakily connect to the internet without your knowing and hack your whole house and OMG your whole family is gonna die ahhhh!!!

  14. So basically tomorrow some headline-grabber piece of crap pseudo doctor will say lasering avocados causes autism. Thanks, UK doctors.

  15. I have a suggestion on Study Finds Yoga Works As Well As Physical Therapy For Back Pain (time.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They should take away all the "breathing in energy" bullshit and find out what the movements are doing in hard, physical science and then copy it...wait that would just be physical therapy actually. What a coincidence.

  16. stupid ancestors are to blame on A Third Of the Planet's Population Is Exposed To Deadly Heatwaves (motherjones.com) · · Score: 1

    Someone at some point decided "Yeah, let's stop here. This crappy desert with no water and no place to grow crops is a lovely place to live. I'm sure it won't get any better if we keep walking," and then set up cities in places like the middle east and north Africa. They're really the ones to blame, not climate change. Those places were hot even before CO2 went nuts.

  17. But...CO2 levels haven't actually dropped. They may have maybe slowed down acceleration but they haven't dropped.

  18. Re:Sony too on The Right To Repair Movement Is Forcing Apple To Change (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Well I would assume, but also it was true 5 years ago

  19. screw this guy! on Is Coinbase Closing Accounts For Paying Ransoms With Bitcoins? (coindesk.com) · · Score: 1

    This asshole should be in prison! You DO NOT pay ransoms. It should be against federal law to pay ransoms like this. You're supporting terrorists, drug dealers, and at the very least, criminal groups overseas. That in itself is illegal so why not extrapolate it to making paying ransoms illegal. Every single ransom this asshole pays encourages more people to do the same thing because it makes money. This idiot needs to be stopped.

  20. Not going outside? on A Colorado Group Wants To Ban Smartphones For Kids (apnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ever heard of a certain app called Pokemon Go?

  21. Sony too on The Right To Repair Movement Is Forcing Apple To Change (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    This better hit Sony. I repair laptops and there absolutely are no spare parts for Vaio laptops because Sony refuses to sell them to anyone, One of my customers got a screen repair quote of $800 from Sony for their $850 Vaio. Thankfully it was also used in a Toshiba so I got the exact screen on ebay. But HDD caddied, plate covers, USB off-boards, forget it.

  22. Is it faster than light or not? on Chinese Satellite Breaks Distance Record For Quantum-Key Exchange (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    So they sent them to the space station and now a satellite and I think the space station one blew up on launch but have they determined yet if it's faster than light transmission? The theory is that you had to physically move the particles at least once away from each other so you can't violate causation or something like that. But has it been proven?

  23. This is ridiculous on eBay Urges Customers To Oppose Washington Internet Tax (knkx.org) · · Score: 1

    They can't pass a tax that tells me what to do, I don't live there. Are they stupid or something?

  24. Another solution on EU Poised To Fine Google More Than $1 Billion in Antitrust Case (marketwatch.com) · · Score: 2

    They should fine Bing for antitrust reasons and promoting a Google monopoly by being so unusably awful.

  25. Re:No Clicks! Wow! on New Malware Downloader Can Infect PCs Without A Mouse Click (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Hurray for alarmist bullshit! You know what's even worse? Past PDF and DOC viruses that just needed you to open the file and not hover over anything.
