  1. Re:B-B-B-But... on Apple May Bring Back Billions In Profits To The U.S. (siliconbeat.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually it doesn't really matter _that_ much if it's Apple Ireland or the Country Ireland that gets charged with 13 billion in taxes... either case will fuck up both Apple and the government. (for the better)

  2. Re:Oh yeah? Then what are you gonna do about it? on Apple CEO Tim Cook on EU Apple Tax Case: 'Total Political Crap' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Does this 'no retroactive fines' work for me too when I cheat on taxes?

    No, they're just afraid you're going to dox them and attack them online with your horde of PC lynch mobs, harass their boss at work until they're fired, then make the headlines in various news outlets about how you defended the world against oppression and bigotry of the cyginscist white males.

  4. Kinda like how anthropologists from highly esteemed universities won't think it worth talking to people who live in hunter-gatherer societies.

  5. December 30th on 'Longest Living Human' Says He Is Ready For Death At 145 (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 2, Funny

    I was born on December 30, 1870 and as soon as my birth certificate arrives in the mail I'll be able to prove it.

  6. Re: He'll definitely be an interesting test subjec on NASA Astronaut Jeff Williams Sets New US Space Endurance Record With 521 Days (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly!!!

    NASA should instead have thousands of people go through 3-6 hour stays in microgravity.

  7. Re:enable it? funny... I did the opposite on Google Restores Backspace Functionality To Chrome With an Add-on (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    Weird, I've never had this happen to me.

    And backspace for back is so nice as it allows you to use the same hand as for the mouse.

  8. Just get the next iPhone SE variant... not all phones need to be the same.

  9. Re:Utopia, American Style on Nicholas Carr Says Tech 'Utopia Is Creepy' (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, from Norway and couldn't imagine any situation where I'd want to move to the US. (even though I've had quite a few offers)

    Explain to us all what a modern OS like Windows or Linux is... except a bunch or routines hierarchically executed.

    Wow, what damning material! CALL THE POLICE AND HAVE HIM ARRESTED!

    Try again, find something one can actually define as 'trolling', not a retweet of a faked picture of a rather lame tweet.

  12. Yes, he is so popular since people around here don't particularly care to be called "a bigot or an asshole" by assholes like you, especially when people like you are the biggest hypocrites.

    Then show us the archived tweets where he harassed Leslie Jones.

    Better start making some up since things that doesn't exist is rather difficult to find.

  14. Re:raging asshole, maybe, but he is right you know on Stopping Trolls Is 'Now Life and Death For Twitter', Argues Backchannel (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen any of the 'harassment' if Jones that Milo was supposed to be behind. He didn't even get involved in any twitter exchange with her until after the trolls started trolling her.

    Well, unless you call writing a review of the movie calling it out for the bad movie he thought it was.

    She on the other hand called him the 'Uncle Tom of gays' and told her followers to harass him. The exact kind of hate speech and inciting other target an individual that Twitter claims Milo was responsible for. And there's quite a large number of people who have seen through the bullshit Twitter tried to peddle.

    Oh, right... I see now where you stand, feel free to ignore my post and any facts it may contain.

  15. Re:A win for the oil companies on Tesla Posts 13th Straight Loss, Says On Track For Second-Half Deliveries (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If you think current oil prices has anything to do with crushing Tesla you're a moron. While part of the reason the oil prices are low is the changing demand side dynamics, the current prices isn't to crush that change but rather as a reaction to it.

  16. Re:Ready to on US Air Force Declares F-35A Ready For Combat (defensenews.com) · · Score: 1

    What upsets Baltic and Nordic countries isn't even the 'incursions' as such, it's that the Russians are flying with their transponders off.

    So while the military radars see them, the civilians don't and there's not just a possibility of collisions, there's also been quite a few close calls. How anyone who claims to know about Russia, NATO and such wouldn't know about something this well known...

  17. Re:Cloud and cloud, what is cloud?! on Google Deletes Artist's Blog and a Decade Of His Work Along With It (fusion.net) · · Score: 1

    Actually clouds don't actually 'blow away' nor do they 'blow to you'. It is the changes in the atmosphere that makes clouds appear and disappear.

  18. Re:A Rogue Jupiter more and more likely... on New Dwarf Planet Discovered In Outer Solar System (seeker.com) · · Score: 1

    The bigger it is the slower the periodic cycle but the more dramatic the events it would deliver would be.

    No it isn't. The mass of the object does not affect its orbital period at all. A speck of dust has the same orbital velocity and period as a giant jupiter.

    Though it is slightly more complicated than that as the object also influences the object it orbits around.

  19. Re:technicality on US Terrorist Conviction Appealed Over Use of NSA Data (independent.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Informative

    The bomb was fake, so obviously he didn't attempt to kill Americans.

  20. The 'crash' is easy to explain; markets bet against brexit, they even paid for and ran their own exit polls that showed a remain, and once the real result came in there was a crash.

    It's pretty much like the housing bubble in 2007/8... Banker Wankers bet wrong, lost lots of money, who's to blame? The average Joe of course.

  21. Re:It's a conspiracy! on Second Tesla Autopilot Crash Under Review By US Regulators (time.com) · · Score: 1

    People didn't die and Tesla hasn't gotten access to the data from the vehicle, obvious Musk conspiracy.

  22. Re:Welcome to the creepy valley on US Regulators Investigating Tesla Over Use of 'Autopilot' Mode Linked To Fatal Crash (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Tesla does not have any "autonomous" features, it has an auto-pilot. And those require constant situational awareness.

  23. Re:There had to be a first case... on US Regulators Investigating Tesla Over Use of 'Autopilot' Mode Linked To Fatal Crash (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Tesla doesn't _HAVE_ a self-driving feature.

    They have auto-pilot feature, which just like in real planes requires the pilot / driver to retain situational awareness at all times.
