    With all those Venutian women that Bud and Lou left behind, I won't be needing underwear for long anyway!

    What makes you think an email is spam?

    Again, you're a selfish cunt. At least let the rest of us be selfish cunts by being able to filter out your crap.

    The cybercriminals target your wallet, while the nation-state targets you.

    And in Soviet Russia????

  7. Re:Hey Bennett, on Four Facepalm Bugs In USPS Label-Printing Site · · Score: 2

    Because people can filter me out anyway by not reading articles with my byline. If someone is too lazy to move their eyeball one inch down the page, aren't we being enablers by accomodating them?

    FFS, you are a cunt.

    Kudos. In the entire article, this might be the only comment worth reading.

  10. Re:One man's piss is another man's ... on Bill Gates Endorses Water From Human Waste · · Score: 2

    Bill Gates studied the engineering behind it? I am so reassured...

    Human waste contains heaps of harmful bacteria. If I am going to drink water recycled in this manner, I'd prefer to have the engineering studied by an independant water quality professional, say, an environmental engineer? And for the output water to be studied by health professionals and microbiologists. Some long term testing on how well the product holds up as the filters degrade would be nice too. That first glass may be clean and delicious, what about the the tenth, hundredth, or thousandth glass?

    The recommendation of the former CEO of a software corporation (no matter how successful) doesn't really give me that high a level of confidence in the product.

    Would you rather they tested it on some poor mouse?

    How about Bennet Haselton?

    Rashomon is a really good movie, apropos nothing in particulal.

    Or apropos of everything. I guess it depends on your point of view.

  13. Re:Bitstamp hack..... on Hackers Steal $5M In Bitcoin During Bitstamp Exchange Attack · · Score: 1

    Now ask your grandparents the same questions.

    Now ask yourself the same questions about a large amount of cash.

    Insured by the FDIC (and FSLIC). And regulated. And we've known about this for a minimum of 80 years. Why is it so difficult for Bitcoin, supporters, and companies to learn lessons from the past and NOT repeat them?

    It's the same as giving modern radical Muslims a pass because of atrocities commited by the Roman Catholics 500 years ago. Why are the lessons never learned? Why start from zero?

    We are even talking about "If I have seen further it is by standing on the shoulders of giants," more like standing on the toes of little people.

    Historically, that is correct, but the term is still in use, and its meaning has shifted. To whit (sp?):

    "B movie noun

    Maybe call the timelines with names appropriate for them, or at least non-racist terms. I'd hate for them to settle on something as stupid as "Star Trek White" and "Star Trek Black".

    Wait, are you asking for a grim and gritty reboot of "Let That Be Your Last Battlefield"?

    there never were natives in England.

    Everyone who can trace their ancestry back far enough will find Eastern European roots.

    Don't be a shithead. Go back far enough, and only Africa has 'natives'.
