  1. Re:Animation? on SpaceX Releases Animation of Planned Falcon Heavy Launch (gizmodo.com.au) · · Score: 1

    Name a heavy lift rocket that doesn't have years or decades of delays.

    Angara has had, what, 2 launches 3 years ago and nothing since.
    Antares has had 1 launch in the 3 years since it had a failure.
    Vulcan, Ariene 6?
    Will SLS ever fly?

    Aside from Senate Launch System all of these delays are mostly normal for big rocket development.

    Oh some paragraph glazes over the technical details with some "this is feasible." Guess that means the whole thing is proven possible!

    Thunderf00t in probably laughing at you.

  5. Slashvertisement on Slashdot Asks: Have Smartphones Destroyed a Generation? (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    Hey look, its a Slashvertisement for a generation-baiting article from an author that makes money selling books about generation-baiting.

  6. Re: $300 for your life on Verizon's New Rewards Program Lets It Track Your Browsing History (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Read the summary. It's "rewards for every $300 you spend".

    You are giving them the $300 in this scenario.

    These people are giving their privacy away for nothing.

  7. According to The Hulk, yes.

  8. Re: How was "not allowed to not answer" enforced? on Cable Giants Step Up Piracy Battle By Interrogating Montreal Software Developer (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Not being allowed to consult your lawyer without them listening is a violation of the right.

    Obviously the Canadian Bill of Rights is worth about as much as toilet paper considering this action.

  11. Re: About time on Bad News If You Make $150,000 to $300,000: Higher Taxes for Many (wsj.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is a tax on the wealthy that are not quite wealthy enough to buy politicians.

    Not exactly. Even then, idea guys thought that implementation was "beneath" them. Lets get some kind fresh out of college to do the actual work for me and pay him in peanuts and promises. I could bang this out if I wanted to, but I have big idea things to worry about instead.

    Of course they were delusional, but they had to be delusional to believe that their idea was worth anything in the first place.

  13. Zuck had rich parents and went to Harvard. I don't think he will give 2 shits about what happens to the plebs that work for him.

    You forgot about the spiffy video with pro quality production value and complete fakery of the prototype working.

    That was a classic one because it is so damn obvious that their product was impossible.

    The hoverboard was at least plausible to idiots. "Hey what about that 80s movie? It's gotta be possible!"

    Computers are not real products? Ok, Ezekiel better head back to the farm.

  17. Re: Had everything? on The Inside Story of the Lily Drone's Collapse (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    My hatred of "idea people" comes from the dot com era. I met plenty of, "I got this idea for a website. You figure out all the difficulties, do all the work, and I take all the credit. I might give you a small cut of the profits." Even as a fresh-out-of-school kid, I knew these guys were charlatans.

    Yeah, but this isn't a computer, its a monitor. And an absurdly niche one at that.

    Also, submittors and editors, try paragraphs. They are not just for kids in school trying to pad the line count on their papers.

    I have no idea who is being the bigger asshole here. But if any porn site can take on a government and win, its Pornhub.
