  1. You can say that about a movie or a book. What is the point?

  2. Re:What Do Cobol jobs pay ??? on 3 Open Source Projects For Modern COBOL Development (opensource.com) · · Score: 2

    Depends on what you think your soul is worth.

  3. Re:Well the name is appropriate. on DARPA's ICARUS Program To Develop Self-Destructing Air Delivery Vehicles (darpa.mil) · · Score: 0

    Uhh, no I mean that they are able to deliver bombs all over the world... yeah, that's it.

  4. Well the name is appropriate. on DARPA's ICARUS Program To Develop Self-Destructing Air Delivery Vehicles (darpa.mil) · · Score: 2

    Always amused by the military's use of the world "delivery" though.

  5. Re:sTEM on Treat Computer Science As a Science: It's the Law · · Score: 1

    I have a degree and have been doing computer "science" for nearly 20 years now. I would be happy if it would simply be Technology and Engineering most of the time, let alone Science or Mathematics.

    Most of the time the code I see could be better described as "art".

  6. In other news.. on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    The lack of pirates is causing global warming.

  7. Re:We are screwed. on World's First 5G Field Trial Delivers Speeds of 3.6Gbps Using Sub-6GHz · · Score: 1

    And nobody will get access to enough data to use those new towers.

  8. What happened to 4G? on World's First 5G Field Trial Delivers Speeds of 3.6Gbps Using Sub-6GHz · · Score: 1

    And don't try telling me that LTE is 4G.

  9. Re:Its laugh track is a crime against humanity on What Non-Geeks Hate About the Big Bang Theory · · Score: 1

    I have to assume that is faked or intentional as a joke.

  10. Re:this is not a *space* flight on Space Travel For the 1%: Virgin Galactic's $250,000 Tickets Haunt New Mexico Town · · Score: 1

    Yep, with a fisheye lens you can see the "curvature of the earth" from the ground.

  11. Re:No Different from NFL Gimmes on Space Travel For the 1%: Virgin Galactic's $250,000 Tickets Haunt New Mexico Town · · Score: 1

    At least the people would have gotten something out of a stadium, for all the colossal waste they are. Instead its just money pissed away on joyrides for the rich. Except I doubt Virgin Galacitc will ever make a commercial launch, at this point.

  12. Re:Can't Take the Heat........? on Linux Kernel Dev Sarah Sharp Quits, Citing 'Brutal' Communications Style · · Score: 1

    Care for some grey pupon?

  13. Re:GOOD GRIEF! on The Decline of 'Big Soda': Is Drinking Soda the New Smoking? · · Score: 4, Funny

    I only drink bottled water form California. That my drink means someone else must go without makes it taste that much more refreshing.

  14. Re:I predict libel cases will bleed Yelp to death. on Yelp For People To Launch In November · · Score: 1

    This is why you write things like "mindmaster064 is a cunt that did not read the article and thinks Yelp is involved with this".

    There, nothing legally actionable about that. :)

  15. Re:Great time to be a JD on Yelp For People To Launch In November · · Score: 1

    Is it also a great time to be a Turk?

  16. So they came up with what my mother came up with on Scientists Discover How To Get Kids To Eat Their Vegetables · · Score: 1

    If you don't eat your veggies you go without dinner.

    Brilliant work there, guys, brilliant. Perhaps we should hire moms to do research instead of scientists.

  17. It already works this way, the problem is Eyeo wants to get a cut of the ad revenue. Sorry, suckers, it isn't like someone else can't do adblock.

  18. Re:No. Give the control to the users on AdBlock Plus To Introduce Independent Board To Oversee Acceptable Ads Program · · Score: 1

    Well that is kind of dumb. If I was looking for a pickup truck or a digital camera, I would simply go to google and run a search for those things. Not put them as terms in an app that may or may not bother me with those things while I am busy looking at something else.

  19. Re:bioweapon defense mode? on Tesla Unveils the Model X · · Score: 1

    Ejection seat and roll down the windows.

  20. Re:Is that even possible? on Treefinder Revokes Software License For Users In Immigrant-Friendly Nations · · Score: 1

    Between having to re-agree every time you run a program and this "workaround", it labels the guy as kind of insane.

  21. Blindness on Treefinder Revokes Software License For Users In Immigrant-Friendly Nations · · Score: 3, Funny

    He can't see the forest despite the treefinder.

  22. Re:Maybe it's time on Citadel Botnet Operator Gets 4.5 Years In Prison · · Score: 1

    As George Carlin said "I'd let a epileptic shave my testicles with a hatchet for 10 million dollars!" (in response to Gillette or some other razor company offering ZZTop $10M to shave their beards on camera.)

  23. Re:Stay out of the sun, or wear clothing on New Nanoparticle Sunblock Is Stronger and Safer, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    Forget about outside. Any amount of time with kids has me ready to drink.

  24. Re:What's wrong with titanium dioxide? on New Nanoparticle Sunblock Is Stronger and Safer, Scientists Say · · Score: 1

    "contain fewer chemicals"

    The only way it can do that is by making the bottle contain less product.

  25. Re:By design on EFF: DMCA Hinders Exposing More Software Cheats Like Volkswagen's · · Score: 1

    The real problem here is that using a lock on someone's house is a terrible analogy for software copyright.
