  1. Re: Leftisy government on Spotify Executive Chris Bevington Dies In Stockholm Attack (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Well we are legalizingâ weed...

  2. People would be happy to learn COBOL in school if it did not suck the life out of people that touch it. And now that the only remaining jobs are maintenance ones, there is even less incentive.

  3. They should have let the wookie win.

  4. Re: I still don't 'get' realistic war simulations. on Two Studies Suggesting a Link Between Violent Video Games, Real-Life Behavior Have Been Retracted (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Though it does teach you things like:
    I can dodge bullets?
    No, Neo, when they are at long range, you won't have to. Their shots will not have enough energy left and bounce harmless off of you.

  5. I would pay to see people losing control at a Chess match.

    So what are you saying? Stop keeping score, bring our participation trophies for all?

    I find your competition = violence theory just as stupid as anything Jack Thompson has said.

  6. Re: I still don't 'get' realistic war simulations. on Two Studies Suggesting a Link Between Violent Video Games, Real-Life Behavior Have Been Retracted (qz.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Playing paintball is a more realistic war simulation than Battlefield 1.

    Maybe it's the anti-gaming people that are the ones that need to get out of their basements.

  7. Please, please tell someone took FPSDave seriously.

  8. Re:Google Never refund mine. on Amazon Will Refund Millions of Unauthorized In-App Purchases Made By Kids (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 2

    Hahaha, no they won't give money back. And I doubt they care about star ratings. Tricking kids into in app purchases is how fremiums work.

  9. Re:CA$3 to CA$5 per ride? on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually nevermind, I just realized the uber cost was 3-5, not a subsidy of 3-5.

  10. Re:CA$3 to CA$5 per ride? on Canadian Town Picks Uber For Public Transit (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    That is just the per-ride cost. What about the tax cost that the service has?

  11. Hey its a Bitcoin article on Bitcoin Becomes Legal Payment Option In Japan, Prices Spike (investopedia.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY BUY

    Dear Lameness Filter,

    I am not the one that is yelling, it is the pump and dump people that make Bitcoin prices every time there is an article like this.

  12. Re:This isn't going to go over well. on HTC Introduces Eye-Tracking 'VR Ad Service' (pcgamer.com) · · Score: 1

    Nobody is going to pay for $60 game to get blasted by ads.

    That's what you think

  13. They just define "success" as "succesully for a bunch of suckers to give them money".

    It's also possible this is just an early April Fool's post. Shit has been old for a decade.

  14. Y Combinator on Y Combinator-Funded Startup To Do Quantum Computing -- Only Better (bizjournals.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    Is there anything that comes out of Y Combinator that isn't a buzzword-laden funding scam?

  15. James Bond: "I gave him the boot."

  16. It sounds more like a problem with your users being drooling idiots.

  17. Because then we will have no protection at all.

  18. So you want people slamming on their brakes the instant they see yellow? Because that is what the lack of a grace period will result in. You can't know if a light is going to be extended yellow or not.

    And, if anything, drives will assume they are not since most cities reduce the yellows to get more fines.

  19. Re: Wait a minute... on YouTube Loses Major Advertisers Over Offensive Videos (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem is that who decides what is "inappropriate"? I hear that religious/atheist/political channels are already being demonitized.

  20. Re: Wait a minute... on YouTube Loses Major Advertisers Over Offensive Videos (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 1

    Those channels also stop getting revenue, which will cause many of them to leave YouTube.

  21. Not surprising on Researchers Build An AI That's Better At Reading Lips Than Humans (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Humans are very difficult to read.

  22. Well on Movie Theaters Haven't Innovated Beyond Popcorn, Says Netflix CEO (variety.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Considering Netflix rarely gets any new movies anymore, one thing movie theaters have that Netflix doesn't is new movies.

  23. Yes, I have heard people talk like this in meetings. Marketing/Management speak = Doublespeak.

  24. Yeah on The Last Days of Club Penguin (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    I was sad when the Igloo Club shut down. Let's go Pens.

  25. Re: The Last Days of Club Leftism? on The Last Days of Club Penguin (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    Club Penguin is a leftist conspiracy?

    Got it.
