  1. Re:Marketing ... on Purdue 'HUSH' Tool Promises 16% Battery Life Gain For Wasteful Android Phones · · Score: 1

    I think the name was taken. Play Store has quite a few apps called "STFU".

  2. If you could put in a word for me I'd love to work at Epson! Epson opens doors! I'd be very quiet, I was a bit on edge just now but if I were at Epson I'd sit at the back and not get in anyone's way!

  3. Re:Anyone got a source for 'safe' black & colo on Epson's 'Empty' Professional-Grade Cartridges Can Have 20 Per Cent of Their Ink Remaining · · Score: 1

    Costco refills ink cartridges for about $10.

    World War Z was the most appallingly stupid movie ever made.

  5. Re: pros and cons on F-35 To Face Off Against A-10 In CAS Test · · Score: 1

    If the F-35 is like a dual sport motorcycle, I'd rather have the motorcycle. I could have afforded one with the $4000 in taxes I paid that went to the F-35 program.

    The only thing that can stop a bad guy with a gun is a good guy who can tackle.

  7. Re:Happily married? on Extortionists Begin Targeting AshleyMadison Users, Demand Bitcoin · · Score: 1

    You can have an affair and be happily married. If you have a hot girlfriend on the side you're probably more likely to be happy.

    What treason? The mail server thing again?

    It's getting late; I'll do the part inside the braces tomorrow.

    Damn right. When you start bragging about security on the Internet, you're begging to be attacked. What size image do you really need for a face, 100 x 100? I've got eight concurrent C++ processes brute forcing his face right now.

  12. Re:Compile to JS vs WebASM on Compiling to JavaScript: TypeScript vs. Haxe · · Score: 1

    Petawatt hours of energy? I seriously doubt it- if you want to go 30 years into the past, all you need is 1.21 gigawatts.

    It's not stacked against you like Windows 10! [ha, ha.]

  14. Re:Why go without GPS? on NASA's Drone For Other Worlds · · Score: 1

    Titan has low gravity and a thick atmosphere. A pedal-powered plane would get you into the air quickly (as you suffocate and freeze to death).

  15. Re:But But This is Anti Homeless! on San Francisco's Public Works Agency Tests Paint That Repels Urine · · Score: 1

    It's cheaper than either cigarettes or alcohol, especially in places where it's available "medicinally", like SF.

    Yes, I've been to those places because THC suppressed epileptic seizures I used to have (but only for several hours while it was in effect- it's an extremely expensive anticonvulsant and insurance doesn't cover it). Legal pot is particularly expensive. On what basis is pot cheaper that liquor or alcohol? Per "dose" (whatever that is for any of those three)? Cigarettes and liquor never tempted me to cut up my ATM card.
    Plus, you can't survive on a 100% Taco Bell diet... just eating the pot would be more nutritious.

  16. Considering an upgrade, but need more information on A Naysayer's Take On Windows 10: Potential Privacy Mess, and Worse · · Score: 2

    Yeah, my grandmother has to buy all her stuff on Amazon now that RadioShack is gone.

    Have you ever bought pot? The stuff is expensive. And if you're homeless, munchies are the last thing you need.

    Don't badmouth Windows 10 users- about half of them are going to be in your QA department.

  20. Re:One question on Replacing Silicon With Gallium Nitride In Chips Could Reduce Energy Use By 20% · · Score: 1

    Fallium nitrade is a main ingredient in energy drinks and health beverages. They all supply 100% of the U.S. RDA of gallium.

    Well this is not how Walter White would have done it, is it?

    That's the coward's way out, using drugs, where 90% of your synthesis has been done for you by already by some Big Pharma company selling pseudoephedrine to people who need to clear their noses.

  22. Re:Well so much for Democracy on European Agreement Sets Up Third Greek Bailout · · Score: 1

    The problem stems from the currency. The EU consists of sovereign states that are not bound together as tightly as states in the U.S., but their economies are now coupled by the Euro.

    Can you imagine if places like South Carolina and Mississippi had to pay California back all the money they receive in federal funding from California taxpayers? They'd have to throw up their hands and start using Confederate dollars again.

  23. Re:Let me guess. on Double-Dynamo Model Predicts 60% Fall In Solar Output In The 2030s · · Score: 1

    It's a pretty bold assertion to claim that increasing the concentration of one of the atmosphere's most optically active constituents by 30% won't have any significant consequences on temperature. Do you have anything to back that up, other than your political leanings? What makes you believe that rising CO2 is not a significant problem, and what is it that you understand about CO2 and the history of climate on planet Earth that physicists and climatologists don't?

    Figures; in the U.S., party affiliation is the most reliable predictor of one's opinion about global warming, but if you dare suggest around here that someone's opinion is influenced by politics, you get modded to hell.
