  1. Re:Don't worry, NASA is really good at this on NASA Update Will Deal With Opportunity Flash Memory "Amnesia" · · Score: 4, Funny

    Heh. I took the train into Chicago for many years. There's a Mars plant next to the line, with a passenger stop. Every morning the robot-voice would announce "The next stop will be ... Mars".

    How many rovers do YOU (or **anyone** else for that matter) have on Mars?

    Oh please. I'm SURE Comcast will have *no problem whatsoever* with Google running (common carrier) fiber to people's houses.

    Agreed. Starship Troopers was awful. I LOVED it.

    That's because HOA board members' heads are smaller on the inside.

    Before this, we referred to wearable devices that did this as "hip flasks".

    You are the standard ideologue... Everyone else's ideology is a baseless religion, but yours, well, it is merely the truth....

    That is ABSOLUTE GENIUS. Worthy of framing. Did you just come up with that, or is it from somewhere else?

    Surely this is "fair use" isn't it? ;-)

  9. Re:No we shouldnt on Should We Be Content With Our Paltry Space Program? · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Oh for fuck's sake. Stay off our roads. Keep your kids out of our schools. Stop drinking our socialist treated water. Stop eating our collectivist inspected foods. Stop using our socialist sewers. Stay off our government-granted monopolist power grid. Don't call our communal fire department.

    In other words, go back to middle-ages subsistance farming and its way of thinking.

  10. Re:75% Accuracy is touted on Slashdot on European Researchers Develop More Accurate Full-Body Polygraph · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter whether WE think it's inaccurate, it matters how much law enforcement and HR think it's ACCURATE.

    Never seen a disco clam. I do recall a few disco beavers, back in the day...

  12. Re:Procedural vs OO on Anthropomorphism and Object Oriented Programming · · Score: 2

    By the same token, now you have to implement pie.toast() and cake.toast() and lots of other useless and irrelevant methods, even though you're never ever going to use them, simply because they extend the isBakeable() interface.

    I right spill chuckers two!

  14. Re:Summarizing on Anthropomorphism and Object Oriented Programming · · Score: 5, Funny

    Don't anthromorphize your objects. They don't like that.

  15. Procedural vs OO on Anthropomorphism and Object Oriented Programming · · Score: 5, Funny

    I used to have a procedural toaster which cooked the bread until it became toast. Then I upgraded to a much more elegant OO toaster, which simply sends a "toast yourself" message to the bread. Unfortunately, bagels don't have a self.toast() method, so i still have to have a backup procedural toaster to handle the older API.

    So they're upset that new features in an OS consumes more memory?

    I felt like a million IT people cried out "DUH!" and then were silenced.

    Well, it's not like they're gonna use Windows and be pwned by third-graders, is it?

  23. Re:stupidest. revelation. ever. on The NSA Uses the Same Chat Protocol As Hackers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yup. The difference is the internal NSA's systems are air-gapped so those sons-of-bitches at the GCHQ can't listen in.

  24. Re:How about mandatory felony sentences instead? on Drunk Drivers in California May Get Mandated Interlock Devices · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then we need to start arresting people as they leave the McDonald's drive-thru. At least people driving drunk KNOW they're drunk and are just praying to get home without incident; people with hot French Fries aren't paying attention and don't give a fuck what's going on around them. And don't EVEN start with me about high-school-age girls with cell phones...
