  2. I prefer my money to be stolen the old fashion way on Bitstamp Bitcoin Exchange Suspended Due To "Compromised Wallet" · · Score: 3, Funny

    By banks and governments, thank you very much.

  3. Send them the "You are an idiot" YouTube video on North Korean Internet Is Down · · Score: 1

    Oh wait, they can't watch it because their internet is down. Now who's stupid?

  4. Tool palettes in GUIs are pretty cool too on The Magic of Pallets · · Score: 1

    Whereas the Microsoft Ribbon is an abomination.

  5. Time to strike back at N. Korea with a meme on US Seeks China's Help Against North Korean Cyberattacks · · Score: 1

    I for one am tired of N. Korea's arrogance in having been successful in shutting down Sony's release of the movie. I say it's time to strike back - how about we start a meme where we photoshop and videoshop/YouTube images of Kim Jong Un into compromising depictions? I'm being completely serious. Let's see if N. Korea can shut down the entire internet before we make a laughing stock of them.

  8. Re:Shingled encoding performance penalties on Seagate Bulks Up With New 8 Terabyte 'Archive' Hard Drive · · Score: 1

    But the majority of users aren't running OS's that have filesystems with copy-on-write support, including Windows 7 and below with NTFS.

  9. Shingled encoding performance penalties on Seagate Bulks Up With New 8 Terabyte 'Archive' Hard Drive · · Score: 5, Interesting

    SMR drives are fine for I/O scenarios that don't overwrite data very often but they suffer from significant performance penalties for overwrites due to the read-modify-write/write-relocate operations required to modify a set of sectors within a shingled-encoded track. There are tricks to lessen the impact such as virtual sector remapping and background remapping but those can't avoid performance penalties in many scenarios.

  10. I see a lot of fatties in those photos and video on Peru Indignant After Greenpeace Damages Ancient Nazca Site · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Perhaps them walking wouldn't have caused so much damage if they had reduced *their* carbon footprint by not stuffing their face with more than their fair share of food on the planet.

  11. Domo arigato Mr. Fraudboto on Fraud Bots Cost Advertisers $6 Billion · · Score: 1

    Thank you very much, Mr. Fraudboto

    Correction, its instead of it's. It's the New Grammar!

  15. Can they stop calling it "New" Republic? on Facebook Founder Presents Vision For The New Republic, Many Resign In Protest · · Score: 1

    No magazine that is a century old should be called new, unless it's readership is mostly vampires.

  16. Hard times for a former monopolist on With Eyes on China, Intel Invests Billions In Mobile Ambitions · · Score: 2

    Intel is learning that success doesn't come as easy in business segments where your tried-and-true monopolist practices don't apply.

  17. Not brave to declare after you've become CEO on Tim Cook: "I'm Proud To Be Gay" · · Score: 1

    It doesn't seem all that courageous to me to declare you're gay *after* you've completed the climb up the corporate ladder to the CEO position. It would be more impressive if he did it before the perceived risk to his career had long-since passed. Doesn't set a good example for other gays - hiding the fact you're gay until it's safe career-wise to come out.

  18. Easter egg hunt on The Correct Response To Photo Hack Victim-Blamers · · Score: 1

    If it were April I would say that huge mount of boring text has a point hidden somewhere inside it. Let's hope there's a piece of chocolate attached to it as well.

  19. Quantum Computing - 5 Billion parallel BSODs on Microsoft's Quantum Mechanics · · Score: 0, Troll

    Each writing its own kernel dump image :)

  20. Wonder if health care workers will give pause on Texas Health Worker Tests Positive For Ebola · · Score: 2

    We now have two cases of Ebola being contracted by health care workers in developed nations (Spain, USA), plus the many workers who have contracted it while working with patients in the affected African nations. One wonders if the pool of health care workers willing to work with these patients will start to dwindle and whether the CDC call for calm is more direct at those workers than the general public.

  21. Why not create a new API version function? on Possible Reason Behind Version Hop to Windows 10: Compatibility · · Score: 2, Funny

    Old function: GetVersion() and GetVersionEx() [for Windows 8 and older]
    New function: GetVersionEx2() [for Windows 9 and newer]

    Seems a less intrusive solution that jumping a whole major Windows revision.

  22. Re:Too bad it wasn't Los Angeles on GlaxoSmithKline Released 45 Liters of Live Polio Virus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Tell that to the community when an outbreak starts because some narcissistic celebrity didn't want their child afflicted with a disorder that make their parent look bad. Then we can talk about what compassion actually is.

  23. Too bad it wasn't Los Angeles on GlaxoSmithKline Released 45 Liters of Live Polio Virus · · Score: 4, Funny

    Would have been useful to takeout all the mindless celebrities who don't vaccinate their children and thus assure a healthier society for us all.

  24. Maybe we should pour cement down their toilets on Marriott Fined $600,000 For Jamming Guest Hotspots · · Score: 5, Funny

    To return the jamming favor.

  25. Re:Good luck threatening a company with $54B in ca on Google Threatened With $100M Lawsuit Over Nude Celebrity Photos · · Score: 1

    Less cash means the company has more to lose if it fights and thus would be more amenable to greenmail. Plus there are insurance policies.
