  1. In a related story, VPN companies' stock prices should be shooting up soon.

  2. Should be: Media's Attacks Are a Threat To Democracy

  3. Switzerland, if MPAA is your worst enemy, I'd have to say you're doing it right. Godspeed.

  4. If I also completely ignored all traffic laws, stop signs, and red lights, I bet I could get around even quicker in my car.

  5. Principle fired for principal...

  6. What if there was a law that punished companies for behaving in anticompetitive manners? Something that'd keep business fair? Anyone else thought of this? Sherman...? Sherman...? Bueler...? Sherman...?

  7. Just when I was getting unhappy about the refurb Mac situation, Amazon brings me back by saying "fuck you" to Oracle. I honestly don't know what to feel now...

  8. Re: Definition of insanity... on Strategy Guide Company Prima Games Is Shutting Down (kotaku.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I played SC2000 today and can verify that such strategy guides were useful long ago. Now a days where games can be updated, print is simply the worst choice to convey relevant information. Your entire publication can be rendered useless in an instant after a nerf update.

  9. Re: At last... on The DEA and ICE Are Hiding Surveillance Cameras In Streetlights (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    While I am aware your comment was sarcastic, I have hope that the President legalizes weed. It seems like an amazing opportunity to make money. I know he likes making deals and money. I also know the criminal justice system makes a lot of money off nonviolent pot smokers. I'm curious to see how this shakes out. Does the money from taxing weed outweigh the money made from the justice system? If yes, then I'd imagine he'd push for legal weed treated much the same as alcohol, but with more tax and greater profit for the government and private sector alike.

  10. If we paid to watch the ads, would the content come back? Seems reasonable like playing an MP3 backwards to summon Satan or something.

    An anonymous coward arguing for ban hammering people en masse. How quaint.

    "Forever Beefs" isn't very inclusive of vegetarians, pescatarians, and the Indian subcontinent. How about we call it "interminable tofu" to avoid offending anyone?

    No, they're to the left... Wait now they're up... Wait, look up... Nevermind they're down again. Probably shouldn't drink so much before training in... GODDAMMIT, they're to the left again... I give up. Where's my beer? Oh, it's right below me... Wait...

    Tell the boys they should say they identify as gender fluid butch lesbian transgender men. Add a few more buzzwords if necessary. Problem solved. Anyhoo, off to solve more problems with sophistry.

    Feature creep. Please spawn a new ticket, and we'll get back to you after we've resolved the currently open ticket.

    Fuck it, I'll throw my glaucoma hat in the ring. Hopefully we'll all maintain enough sight to squeak by until this tech is mature. In the mean time, finding ways to reduce exorbitant medical bills with good policy seems like the best thing to focus on. Call your congress critters!

    Wow... An NPC from older days before "faggot" was removed from the acceptable dictionary. Wish they'd also push an update to say it's not ok for bots to tell people to fuck off and die. I'm sure they're busy though. They'll get around to it when they can.

  23. Parents needed a new reason to be paranoid and overprotective. That's never been a bad thing.

    On a serious note, I grew up in Pittsburgh. Prior the 1980s, the air was exceptionally unsafe. Since then, it's only been getting cleaner. What's the trend line for obesity look like? Spoiler: obesity is going up and up, while the air is cleaner than it's ever been for nearly 40 years. Therefore if bad air was thing, you'd expect the exact opposite.

    Alarmist news reports over spurious correlations do not help people. They only make your average person lose trust in science. That's not particularly a good thing.
