  1. I call bullshit on How Llamas Could Help Us Fight the Flu (pbs.org) · · Score: 3, Funny

    This is just a prank by the guys who made SimCity 2000. Go build a stadium if you don't believe me.

  2. Tablets are vital on Tablet Shipments Decline For 16th Straight Quarter (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I'm playing Dark Souls, watching MST3K, referencing wiki pages, and texting all at the same time, I find my tablet is very handy. With 4 displays in front of me, it's *almost* enough distraction to drown out existential dread. Almost. Maybe I should add a smart watch... And a third cat...

  3. Re: Why not on Should Alexa Be Your Child's Friend? (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Sounds like good practice for understanding relationships with drug dealers in high school?

  4. I'd only be interested if the forward was written by Edward Snowden

  5. Glad that GDPR prevented this... Oh wait...

  6. Re: Still waiting on my remote root SSH exploit on Intel CPUs Impacted by New PortSmash Side-Channel Vulnerability (zdnet.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I run my Minecraft server as root so I can dig past the bedrock, you insensitive clod.

  7. They were told there was a problem. They ignored it, and fired the person who told them.

    At least they didn't force him to live out the rest of his days in Russia...

  8. Re: NOT holograms on 'Hologram' Lecturers To Teach Students at Imperial College London (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't kids worry abut jinxing themselves anymore? Saying everyone else doesn't have a girlfriend, but you do, is really tempting fate...

  9. Re: Original hipster. on Spinal Implant Helps Three Paralyzed Men Walk Again (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, but he's been on a 2000 year sabbatical. If he wants the coveted employee of the year award again, all I have to say to him is, "what have you done for me lately?"

  10. Re: Also discovered recently... on Scientists Find Link Between Parkinson's Disease and the Appendix (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    It's as if a million mics were held out and suddenly all were dropped...

  11. http://www.al-awa2el.com/%D8%AA%D9%86%D8%B8%D9%8A%D9%81-%D8%B3%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B6/235-%D8%B4%D8%B1%D9%83%D8%A9-%D8%AA%D9%86%D8%B8%D9%8A%D9%81-%D8%B3%D8%AC%D8%A7%D8%AF-%D8%A8%D8%A7%D9%84%D8%B1%D9%8A%D8%A7%D8%B6

    iPhone users must have just received another update....

  12. Re: Market-based Approach on How Much Does a Cable Box Really Cost? The Industry Would Prefer You Don't Ask (latimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Adjusting for inflation, that's about $5.50 now.

  13. As an atheist... on Facebook Reports Slowing Revenue and User Growth (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    ... I'm a bit torn. If Facebook is starting to die, maybe there is a God...

  14. Re: If this were Obama Fox News would be losing th on Pentagon Wants To Predict Anti-Trump Protests Using Social Media Surveillance (vice.com) · · Score: 0

    You're the type who sees something horrible and runs to the internet to say "don't forget about me today." Note: both Jeselnik and I grew up in Pittsburgh. Know that we both (as evidenced by his stand up) view you as someone happy to stand on another's grave to promote your own self interests. I've met one of the victims before she passed. I know others who lost family. Don't do your sanctimonious platitudes now. You're not helping.

  15. Glad to see Apple is making new things again on Mac Mini Receives First Overhaul in Four Years; New iPad Pro With No Home Button Announced (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sadly, though, I'll be waiting for next year's model due out in 2023.

  16. Re: "No one, rich or poor" on Air Pollution Is the 'New Tobacco,' Warns WHO (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't be such a triggered asshat. There's plenty of outdoor jobs that involve no pollution. Thinking that preventing picnic basket theft in national parks by a pair of bears would yield you the cleanest air. That's but one example.

  17. Dude, everything Japanese sucks.

    ...but your My Little Pony collection is way cooler?

  18. Look up Shingeki no Kyojin for more info on the amazing potential of compressed air. Don't believe me? Watch this.

  19. Re: I hate snaps on Canonical Releases Statistics Showing Adoption of Snap Packages (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Thank you. The catharsis from knowing someone else knows my pain helps.

  20. I hate snaps on Canonical Releases Statistics Showing Adoption of Snap Packages (neowin.net) · · Score: 4, Insightful
    Snaps waste space and mount a thousand unnecessary folders. Seriously, type "mount" after a few shit snaps have run. It's fucking ridiculous. Why the fuck does gnome calculator require a snap and mounting folders? It's a fucking calculator app. Next thing they'll package up bash into a snap for maximum stupidity.

    Bragging about the spread of snaps is like bragging about how you helped the spread of HIV, plague, or My Little Pony.

  21. Bad headline on Google's Smart City Dream Is Turning Into a Privacy Nightmare (engadget.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "... turning Into a Privacy Nightmare..."

    Really now? When was it anything else?

  22. Dammit. Ajit the Shitlord won this round... The appeals process could take years.

  23. Brown shirts? Let's not involve the fashion police too.

  24. Documentary on Thousands of Swedes Are Inserting Microchips Under Their Skin (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Wasn't there a documentary about what to do when pure, concentrated evil gets into your hand? I recall the name "Ash" and a chainsaw later replacing the possessed hand...

  25. Re: its really quite simple. on Google Is Teaching Children How To Act Online. Is It the Best Role Model? (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm less worried about gay frogs, than children having their personal information exploited for the rest of their lives. Call me old fashioned.
