  1. Re:Read: tax deduction on Apple $450 Million e-Book Settlement Wins Court Approval · · Score: 1

    Does Amazon compensate their shills with free eBooks and movie streams, free Prime, discounts on purchases, or just filthy lucre?

  2. Re:Well at least they saved the children! on Google Spots Explicit Images of a Child In Man's Email, Tips Off Police · · Score: 2

    That's not being hypocritical. Maybe you could call it a 'double standard'. But really, it's just different standards. One for sex, one for violence. A better example of hypocritical would be funding a Maplethorpe art piece, and arresting him on indecency for displaying it. Requiring ID to buy Playboy with naked white women, but putting National Geographic, with naked black women, in the school library.

  3. Re:Response to sanctions on Putin Government Moves To Take Control of Russia's largest space company Energia · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Be nice to the parent poster; he has to churn out a certain amount of greenwashing to get paid enough to afford his daily vodka.

    "US does not understand russians"? My outside perspective as neither american nor russian is, yes, they do. It turns out Russians are people too!

    Sting, is that you?

    Fighting over land in Europe means the taking of private business in North America?

  6. Re:I owned a WiiU for 1 month..... on Nintendo Posts Yet Another Loss, Despite Mario Kart 8 · · Score: 1

    Boohoo, lazy basement dweller thinks he is the only person to work a twelve hour shift.

    Look, the tyranny of having to put down one remote control device in order to pick up a second device is perhaps a textbook example of 'first world problems'.

    Hey, I can solve the world's problems in one go. You are an underemployed super genius. Nintendo is staffed and managed by people who are short bus riding morons. You go there, get a 9-5, and parades will be thrown in your honor.

    Go suck a dick faggot

    I suspect he's ok with that (if not with the way you phrased it).

    I've heard of lazy, but this takes the cake. Or maybe, in your case, has the cake delivered, not to your front door, but to your sofa.

  9. Only half the story on Unboxing a Cray XC30 'Magnus' Petaflops Supercomputer · · Score: 3, Funny

    An 'unboxing' is only half of the modern way of reporting on new hardware. The more interesting question in this case is "will it blend?"

    You went and ruined the sarcasm.

    Sorry. I missed it the first time.

    They'd sold thousands of them. In a market counted by the millions that's very insignificant.

  12. Re:Yes it should ship! on Samsung Delays Tizen Phone Launch · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Apple didn't come from behind in the smartphone market. They created the market. "

    Well, that's one view into the reality distortion field.

    And I bet if he had said something along the lines of "Apple came from behind in the smartphone market and knocked the heretofore industry leaders on their asses", you'd have an equally useless and snarky rejoinder.

    Sometimes the inverse RDF is just as strong as the RDF itself...

    Don't feed the troll.

  14. Re: my mother quit when she was pregnant on Smoking Mothers May Alter the DNA of Their Children · · Score: 1

    No, this is just barbaric full stop. A human pregnancy test is not important enough to warrant killing and torturing a mammal.

    Perhaps, but your drama llama response justifies animal torture on a scale that Frank Perdue couldn't dream of. Grow up.

    Look for a hybrid apnea mask. Has nasal pillows and a lower portion that covers the mouth.

    Did the study attempt to cope with the underreporting issue?

    Soon, every desktop in the world will be running it!

    Next year, actually.

  20. Re:Pft on The Daily Harassment of Women In the Game Industry · · Score: 1

    I assumed it was a joke. Nobody who has ever spent time in a US prison or spoken with someone who has would refer to the problem as 'an urban legend'.

  21. Re:This is terrible!!! on Black Holes Not Black After All, Theorize Physicists · · Score: 2

    Now how is Michio Kaku going to portray black holes as marauding monsters that travel around like itinerant serial killers, gobbling up everything in their path?

    I suggest bringing in a robot sidekick named Maximillian to improve ratings.
