  1. Barf on A Bechdel Test For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Christ, I am getting bile in my mouth regularly these days reading all this fluffy PC crap.

  2. Re:When the one I've got dies on Is It Time to Replace Your First HDTV? (Video) · · Score: 1
    I see absolutely nothing on TV (or in the movies) that makes upgrading a sane option. TV and most junk out of Hollywood sucks glistening red dog dicks.

    Like I told the DirecTV guys when I canceled: it isn't about your service; that was fine. But you are selling a steaming turd, and I don't think a turd is worth even $5 a month, let alone $80. Even if said turd is encrusted with glistening yellow corn.

  3. Re:Enough is enough. on 'Half' of 2012's Extreme Weather Impacted By Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Asking Slashdot to link to oil-industry funded shills and kooks doesn't help advance knowledge in any way.

    But we're supposed to accept the word of government-funded shills? Note that your precious government is using the IRS to squelch opposition opinion. And you think a government scientist (who produces what?) will ever let a report surface that shows "global warming" is BS? Taxes need to go up to keep this guy working.

    Besides, these government scientists probably couldn't get a real job in industry. Remember, affirmative action is rampant in the government.

  4. Re:Correlation is not causation, FFS. on 'Half' of 2012's Extreme Weather Impacted By Climate Change · · Score: 0

    That's correct. Government survives on taxes. Government scientists need to keep money flowing in to preserve their work. "Climate Change" isn't about the climate, it is about TAXES (and lots of them). Climate change cheerleaders are as trustworthy as TV evangelists and bizarre religious cults that swing snakes and speak in tongues.

  5. Re:More Faux News anti-Obama racist propaganda on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    And his administration is actively trying to prevent taxpaying citizens from being able to do the same. See Louisiana. Or don't they discuss that where you get your "news?" The supposedly pejorative term "racist" has been diluted so much these days that it is meaningless.

  6. Re:Thanks, Facebook. on Facebook Switching To HTTPS By Default · · Score: 4, Funny

    Zuckerborg would be a hero in my book if he would redirect all of facebook to /dev/null.

  7. Re:12.5% Corporate tax? on Taxes Lead Angry Birds Maker Rovio To Consider Move To Ireland · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Their "dues?" The way governments piss away money, I'd say it's better to give citizens jobs and starve the government beast.

  8. Re:Looks a bit like Powerpoint. on Microsoft Demos Metro UI For Enterprise Apps · · Score: 1

    I wondered how many Google searches I needed to do to resolve all of the acronym soup this article contains, and determined that it was too much work. The overpaid government-types must love this shit.

  9. Re:Sadly its not real on 1 MW Cold Fusion Plant Supposedly To Come Online · · Score: 1

    I work at a physics lab, and I can assure you that the cold fusion effect is very real, but nobody can explain yet why it works,

    Real? Cough, cough, *bullshit*. How long has this pseudoscience crap been going around? 20 years?

    This whole thing sounds wacky enough to get a big government loan. Don't want the Chinese to get the jump on us, do we? Think of the children...

  10. Re:This is the way it's supposed to be on SETI Finds Funds For the Allen Telescope Array (For Now) · · Score: 1

    Yep. Hippie pseudo-science. Greenies everywhere should say a prayer to Al Gore for all the CPU cycles wasted on the so-called "Search for SETI." Jesus wept (or wiped).

  11. How about the mystery taxes? on FCC Plans To Stop Cell Phone Bill Mystery Fees · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Doesn't the gvmt still have a $6/month Algore fee to "wire inner city classes to internet?"

  12. Re:Adobe... Java.... Internet Explorer... on Adobe Patches Second Flash Zero-Day In 9 Days · · Score: 1

    Yep. I just installed Chrome on a new Linux system. Immediately got the message "Flash out of date." So I went to Adobe web site, and they said Chrome users needn't worry, Flash is automatically updated. Right. I don't know this for a fact, but it seems to me that Flash is a good example of what you get when you farm out your software development to 3rd worlders. They apparently still haven't gotten 64 bit support right.
