    sheeeeeeit I could do that job in half the time and for half as much.

    We've got this smart boy, Sam Lowry, down in information retrieval that could do it tout suite -- if he could bother to stop watching American westerns on department time.

  3. lookin' for some shovel-ready projects... on Thousands of Gas Leaks Discovered Under Streets of Washington DC · · Score: 1

    If we can put a man on the moon, why can't we properly maintain our crumbling infrastructure?

  5. Re:wait a second.... on NYT: NSA Put 100,000 Radio Pathway "Backdoors" In PCs · · Score: 2

    Correct.

    Normal protocol is we spy on British citizens and then hand the data over to our allies, the British.
    Conversely, the British spy on Americans and hand the information over to us.

    perfectly Constitutional

    Florida Man, defender of the weak & downtrodden!

  7. Re:It's about time! on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 2

    Just curious, are there other annoying habits you think deserve the death penalty?

    Shooting people is a pretty nasty habit.

  8. welcome to the 21st century: on Man Shot To Death For Texting During Movie · · Score: 2

    mildly inconvenience me and I WILL KILL YOU!

  9. pshaw! harumph! on Programmer Debunks Source Code Shown In Movies and TV Shows · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, I'm pretty sure "ASSHOLE" is a perfectly cromulent argument for the "FUCK YOU" opcode in 6502 assembly language.
    At least the way I coded.

  10. what's a "pee sea", grandpa?! on PC Shipments In 2013 See the Worst Yearly Decline In History · · Score: 0

    That's why The Hero always drives a '67 Mustang.

  12. do you have your 27b/6 ? on Ford Exec: 'We Know Everyone Who Breaks the Law' Thanks To Our GPS In Your Car · · Score: 1

    Do you think I've been flicking my high beams out you the last two miles for my own amusement?!

  17. never gonna happen on New Oculus Rift Prototype Features Head Tracking, Reduced Motion Blur, HD AMOLED · · Score: 1, Insightful

    perfect is the enemy of good.
    Carmack will keep dinking around with this and never ship a product. They should just get version 1.0 out the door and start working on 2.0. Instead, they're already on version three or four hand haven't sold one unit.

  18. "peace dividend"? man, you are OLD on Cartels Are Using Firetruck-Sized Drillers To Make Drug Pipelines · · Score: 1

    No, there would be no post war on drugs peace dividend.
    It will end up like the post-cold war peace dividend. Some dimbulb will squander it by starting multiple pointless and counterproductive wars while building up a police state mechanism to keep the $$$$$ flowing to well-connected contractors.

    We'd be better off just giving them money to not do a thing and stay out of trouble.

  19. geeks don't deal well with logical inconsistencies on Cartels Are Using Firetruck-Sized Drillers To Make Drug Pipelines · · Score: 1

    Capricious enforcement of the law is a good indicator of a corrupt system.

    A good start, but with a per capita GDP of ~$1100 USD, that's still a good chunk of money. Keep working on driving down costs, guys!

    For $120, you can give the gift of GOAT .

  21. grandfathered in on AT&T Introduces "Sponsored Data" Allowing Services to Bypass 4G Data Caps · · Score: 1

    You can have my uncapped data plan when you pry it from my cold, dead hands.

    Since I don't watch TV on my phone 24-7, my data usage is only ~1GB over the last two years, so this is actually a moot point.

  22. there's no "I" in "team", but a "you" in "FU" on The Internet's Network Efficiencies Are Destroying the Middle Class · · Score: 1

    To put a finer point upon it, it's 38 years of Capital keeping 100% of gains from productivity improvements and giving NONE of it to Labor.

    In a non-pathaological society, government would step in to make things more fair before the hoi polloi start sharpening the machetes.
    In our society, we have the GOP and Fox News to keep the rabble distracted with straw men like abortion and to accuse anyone who finally notices what's going on of "class warfare".

  23. my own middle class with HOOKERS! and BLACKJACK! on The Internet's Network Efficiencies Are Destroying the Middle Class · · Score: 1

    Ted Nelson and Jaron Lanier would like to have a word with you...
