  1. Mr Obama on Russian State TV Anchor: Russia Could Turn US To "Radioactive Ash" · · Score: 0, Troll

    The 80's are calling. They would like to know if you need a foreign poilicy.

  2. Re:Some people are pathetic. on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    Checking her linkedin profile, she doesn't exactly sound like she's tearing up the development scene either.

  3. Some people are pathetic. on Prominent GitHub Engineer Julie Ann Horvath Quits Citing Harrassment · · Score: 1

    ...to turn this into a feminism issue.

    The whole hula hoop thing feels like "we don't have enough to make sexism sound reasonable, so let's just throw this in,"
    The coworker thing is a coworker from hell, but nothing big. Don't accept other projects with this guy, devote less time to the projects with this guy and more time to other projects.
    The wife thing. Oh she sounds like a real harridan. Acting to cover her husbands back like other some other evil wifes, what were their names? Oh yes. Rosalind Carter, Nancy Reagan, Barbara Bush, Hillary Clinton, Michelle Obama. Just be nice and don't hang around her too much.

  4. we will have to see what he does about net neutrality.

  5. ModernUI? on Mozilla Scraps Firefox For Windows 8, Citing Low Adoption of Metro · · Score: 1

    ModernUI. That must make AOL very happy.

  6. ACLU is hypocritical. on Cameras On Cops: Coming To a Town Near You · · Score: 1

    I think cops recording their actions, and people recording cops actions both to be fairly good things.
    But I see the ACLU advocating that people record cops, but don't insist cops get the recordings.
    Things hsould go both ways.

  7. Probably a mistake. on Microsoft Dumping License Fees For Windows Phone? · · Score: 1

    Instead of giving away WIndows, they should probably give royalty free apps store access to any entity for the first two years.
    That will probably draw developers faster then dfoubling or even tripling a nonexistent base. Especially the young hungry ones which should become established developers over time.

  8. MRI Machines. on White House: Get ACA Insurance Coverage, Launch Start-Ups · · Score: 1

    In this high tech driven economy, if I went out and bought the same computer that I bought for $500 ten years ago, I would now pay $50.
    Moreover if I bought an up to date computer in the same range ( eg average desktop computer then vs average desktop computer now ), you would pay less.

    So why are MRI machines, a solely high tech device more expensive?

    Republicans would say that the free market should take care of it, but fact is that there will never be a free market in MRI machines.
    Democrats would say that it is the fault of the evil MRI makers. Well yes there is something to that. The companies charge as much as they can, but the key word is can. As a society we've done very little with the "can" part. Desktop computer makers are finding that they can't charge as much they once could, but MRI makers do.

    Obamacare does all these things about shuffle cost around and ineptly hiding things, and there are some cost cutting measures. But less then 5% of Obamacare worries about cutting the cost of MRI machines, drugs, bandages etc.

    That's why it was doomed to failure. It's the PHB approach to fixing the medical care problem.

  9. Excuse on Power Cables' UV Flashes Apparently Frighten Animals · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just another excuse for wacko liberals to demand we abandon civilization and go back to our caves.
    All of course except for the wacko liberals who get Lear jets and free fuel to go around telling us all that we should go back to our caves.

  10. Don't forget the muicipalities that see the coal mining as improving their economies taking over the mines as "eminent domain".

  11. Re:Hard drives have no future. on Nanomaterial May Be Future of Hard Drives · · Score: 1

    Price is not the issue durability is.
    SSDs are good for holding stuff that can easily be replaced such as executables and shared libraries, but when it comes to data I expect unchanged in 5 years time-- the good old hard drive is better.

  12. Re:Just start the war already! on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 2, Informative

    Don't forget Poland was fighting a two front war. Germans on one side, Russians on the other.

  13. Re:Startups Aren't Really Job-Creators In Practice on Google Chairman on WhatsApp: $19 Bn For 50 People? Good For Them! · · Score: 1

    You do realize that "Small bit of wealth" is at least six times as much as "big oil" is making in profits? Probably a lot more.

    Hand moving above head from front to back.
    Whosh

  15. Yes there is settled science. on Can Science Ever Be "Settled?" · · Score: 1

    Settled Science though is not generally referred to as settled. Who goes around saying that the sun "rising" tomorrow. is settled science.
    The problem with much of modern "science" is that it is being done by politicians pretending to be scientists for political purposes and making the claim of certain things being settled.

  17. All I can say on Should Newsweek Have Outed Satoshi Nakamoto's Personal Details? · · Score: 1

    is that if this the Satoshi Nakamoto of BitCoin fame, the Newsweek has just doubled his wealth.
    If he hasn't then Newsweek has just made him as wealthy as the other Nakamoto.

  18. Re:Isn't government spending part of GDP? on Is Traffic Congestion Growing Three Times As Fast As Economy? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Or it could mean that local governments with a reduced tax base are now not taking care of roads. Or that they've cut back on public transportation and now people have to drive to work. Or that the people that have given up are now going to the beach instead. Or that people have given up on ever finding a new job, can't bear to think of the future and are jumping into traffic. Ot that the job situation is now is desperate that bosses can demand their employees not telecommute.

  19. Re:Does Apple have the ability to unlock the devic on Apple Refuses To Unlock Bequeathed iPad · · Score: 1

    In the old minicomputer days, there was a practice to create a new root level account, take it's name and password and put them in a drawer in a sealed envelope. If say some admin changed the root password and went on vacation, you took the envelope out, logged in, changed the root password, deleted the account and created a new alternate account with a new envelope.

    Of course she would have to change her will ( the envelope ) each time she changed her password. Plus people generally don't think of such things.

  20. Coleman-Mandula on The Rise and Fall of Supersymmetry · · Score: 1

    Perhaps it's time to reexamine Coleman-Mandula and see if there are some conditions that can be relaxed and thus create a variation of supersymmetry.

  22. Reagan, John Paul II, and Putin's bitch. on In Ukraine, Cyber War With Russia Heating Up · · Score: 0

    In the 80s Reagan and Pope John Paul II tagged teamed to tear down the Berlin wall.
    Now it looks like Putin's bitch is going to help Putin put it back up.

  23. Re:A little background on In Ukraine, Cyber War With Russia Heating Up · · Score: 1

    Except for the Russian people who elected Putin because of the problems in Chechnya.
    I'm sure they are thrilled with Putin creating similar problems with the Ukraine.
    Especially when Russian websites drive the point home.
