  1. Re:A scrap of truth on Africa E-Waste Dump Continues Hyperbole War · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Damaged cars, at least where I've lived, go to a local wrecking yard where they are parted out and crushed for scrap metal. It's not cost effective to send them elsewhere.

  2. Re:Wonderful. on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    If you have something to say that can be said in 140 characters, you have nothing to say.

    Hear hear.

    Both sides can fuck off. Shut the hell up and go elsewhere.

  4. Re:I thought MSFT bought Nokia for $7 Billion on Nokia To Buy Alcatel-Lucent for $16.6 Billion · · Score: 1

    Microsoft bought Nokia's devices and services unit, not the entire company.

  5. Re:Zoloft is a 1000 times worse on Acetaminophen Reduces Both Pain and Pleasure, Study Finds · · Score: 1

    There is no money in antidepressants. They are cheap as cheap can be genetics.

    Zoloft, Celexa, Prozac and Paxil are all generic and $10/90 days virtually everywhere.

  6. Re:Humanity is lost on Report: Apple Watch Preorders Almost 1 Million On First Day In the US · · Score: 0

    The whole of humanity, no. Most of humanity, yes.

  7. Re:Humanity is lost on Report: Apple Watch Preorders Almost 1 Million On First Day In the US · · Score: 0

    I don't have a smartwatch and I'm not constantly pulling my phone out of my pocket.

    You don't have to immediately respond to every vibrate/ring that comes along.

  8. Curious on Microsoft and Miele Team Collaborate To Cook Up an IoT Revolution · · Score: 1

    I've been disconnecting things, not connecting them. Not going to change directions.

  9. Re:"Out of their control" ....BS on Anonabox Recalls Hundreds of Insecure 'Privacy' Routers · · Score: 1

    Unless it's a non-profit, it's profit focused. If you work and get paid, you are profit focused.

  10. Re: It was inevitible on Microsoft Engineer: Open Source Windows Is 'Definitely Possible' · · Score: 1

    In 50 years, at best.

  11. Re: It was inevitible on Microsoft Engineer: Open Source Windows Is 'Definitely Possible' · · Score: 1

    Smart man.

  12. Re:Ask Slashdot: Is Slashdot Social Media? on Ask Slashdot: Living Without Social Media In 2015? · · Score: 2

    Because Slashsot has at best 0.1% the user base that Facebook has? On top of that, I'd be surprised if 10% of Slashsot accounts have been used within the last year.

  13. Re:Cannot regulate bitcoin in the traditional sens on Bitcoin In China Still Chugging Along, a Year After Clampdown · · Score: 1

    I've never been in possession of any crypto-currency.

  14. Re:Cannot regulate bitcoin in the traditional sens on Bitcoin In China Still Chugging Along, a Year After Clampdown · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin is not a finite resource, or a resource at all. It was designed with artificial scarcity.

    I wouldn't waste the HDD space to store a bitcoin hash.

  16. Re:Sigh on NVIDIA's GeForce GTX TITAN X Becomes First 12GB Consumer Graphics Card · · Score: 1, Funny

    Titan cards aren't aimed at gamers

    Correct. They are aimed at suckers.

  17. Re:Most ambitious on Self-Driving Car Will Make Trip From San Francisco To New York City · · Score: 1

    City driving sucks. I hate stop-and-go.

  18. Re:13.3 screen on Ultralight Convertibles Approaching Desktop Performance · · Score: 1

    What am I going to do with a 13" screen? Carry it around without feeling like I'm lugging a 15" suitcase.

  19. It won't make it to the floor for a vote, let alone past the president.

  20. Re:Well done, smart guy on How Activists Tried To Destroy GPS With Axes · · Score: 1

    Right or not, once you refer to people as "sheeple", your argument is invalid.

  21. Re:I like the ghost town. on Google+ Divided Into Photos and Streams, With New Boss · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, most of things I want to follow aren't on Google+.

  22. Re:Overpriced junk! on Samsung Officially Unpacks Galaxy S6 and Galaxy S6 Edge At MWC · · Score: 1

    Can't disagree!

  23. Re:Best defense is not to care on Blu-Ray Players Hackable Via Malicious Discs · · Score: 1

    It's a smart player. I just can't stand the smart functions and use a Roku instead.

  24. Re:Best defense is not to care on Blu-Ray Players Hackable Via Malicious Discs · · Score: 1

    I've had a blu-ray player for a few years. I've never once every considered plugging it into my router (it doesn't have wifi). I've never, and still don't see, any reason to connect it to the net.
