  6. How science screwed up the fat-heart disease link on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Tough shit..

  9. Greece doesn't need an economist... on Valve's Economist Yanis Varoufakis Appointed Greece's Finance Minister · · Score: 0

    they need a magician. They are broke and no amount of populism or rhetoric is going to create wealth out of thin area. That said, nearly every major nation is broke, including the USA - the difference is there are still people willing to lend at reasonable rates to those other nations. There will come a day where that will no longer be the case and as Greece goes so will go the world.

  10. It'll be cold day in hell when forecasts are right on "Mammoth Snow Storm" Underwhelms · · Score: 1

    And I bet the forecast for that day will be 128F :)

  11. Re:Even the National Weather Service fucked it up on "Mammoth Snow Storm" Underwhelms · · Score: 1

    Not sure what you mean by "even the National Weather Service" - they were the ones who generated the original forecast. All news outlets and "meteorologists" just parrot NWS forecasts.

  12. Throw the FAA at 'em on US Army Wants Weapon To Destroy Drone Swarms · · Score: 4, Funny

    No way ISIS can win against the Federal Aviation Administration.

  13. HDMI cable dangling around? on Your Entire PC In a Mouse · · Score: 1

    That doesn't sound very comfortable - an HDMI cable to the display constantly dangling around as you move the mouse. Plus I have enough trouble keeping HDMI cables connected without them moving constantly; the connectors don't have good interlocks.

  14. "as long as computer hidden behind technical tool" on FBI Seeks To Legally Hack You If You're Connected To TOR Or a VPN · · Score: 1

    By that reasoning they can justify a search warrant if I close the drapes in my house.

  18. It's Microsoft tone-deafness that scares users on Windows 10: Can Microsoft Get It Right This Time? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Even if Windows 10 does correct the major UI issues from Windows 8 (as expected), the memory of Microsoft trying to ram Metro down users throats wont soon be forgotten. The fact that Microsoft was willing to sacrifice its desktop users on the alter of winning a new market (Tablets) will leave them wondering what surprises await them if they stay on with the Windows ecosystem.

  19. '57 Chevys with internet access would be neat on Cuba's Pending Tech Revolution · · Score: 1

    Think the Cuban scene in "The Godfather" but with people watching YouTube videos of Taylor Swift as they ride around in their vintage cars.

    I've worked at a lot of tech companies and done lots of interviewing on behalf of management and have never seen one hiring decision where the most qualified engineer didn't get the job, be they male or female. Tech is the most meritocratic industry in the American economy.

  22. Microsoft: No evidence flaw successfully exploited on Google Releases More Windows Bugs · · Score: 0

    Uh, isn't that what Google's proof-of-concept does - demonstrate the flaw being successfully exploited? Does Microsoft need to see N. Korea exploiting it before they believe it's real?

  25. Customers ended mainstream support for Microsoft on Microsoft Ends Mainstream Support For Windows 7 · · Score: 1

    Windows 8 was an unmitigated disaster and drove many customers to competing platforms like tablets and OS X. Whoever at Microsoft that decided to force Metro down peoples' throats must be sitting in a straightjacket somewhere mumbling to his padded walls.
