  1. Re:god dammit. on Solar Plant Sets Birds On Fire As They Fly Overhead · · Score: 1

    From the mirrors installed on the moon.

  2. Re:Advert? on Operating Systems Still Matter In a Containerized World · · Score: 1

    So because you personally knew about Docker before, this means everybody should know about it too?

    That's some interesting logic.

  3. Re:Docker needs an OS to run, duh! on Operating Systems Still Matter In a Containerized World · · Score: 1

    Listen, lad. I've built this kingdom up from nothing. When I started here, all there was was swamp. All the kings said I was daft to build a castle in a swamp, but I built it all the same, just to show 'em. It sank into the swamp. So, I built a second one. That sank into the swamp. So I built a third one. That burned down, fell over, then sank into the swamp. But the fourth one stayed up. An' that's what your gonna get, lad -- the strongest castle in these islands.

  4. Re:Netflix should become an ISP and compete with t on Netflix CEO On Net Neutrality: Large ISPs Are the Problem · · Score: 1

    Just FYI, Netflix already has several TV shows of their own.

  5. Re:Netflix should become an ISP and compete with t on Netflix CEO On Net Neutrality: Large ISPs Are the Problem · · Score: 2

    If media companies can become ISPs, why couldn't Netflix also become one?

  6. Ten frickin' dollars per month fo music? on YouTube Music Subscription Details Leak · · Score: 1

    If I'm only paying nine dollars to watch movies and TV shows on Netflix, why is music costing more than that?

    The old media companies better wake up real fucking soon, otherwise they're history.

  7. Fusion is not the answer on If Fusion Is the Answer, We Need To Do It Quickly · · Score: 1

    The answer is magnets. Lots and lots of magnets.

  8. 2GB of RAM? on New HP Laptop Would Mean Windows at Chromebook Prices · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Is that even enough for Windows 8.1? And I don't mean enough as in bare minimum to run the OS, I mean enough to actually run more than four applications and a browser with at least ten tabs opened.

  9. Re:Automatically means no control on Software Combines Thousands of Online Images Into One That Represents Them All · · Score: 1

    I think the result of such automated image merging will probably result in something like this.

  10. Re:This would be amazing for.., on Software Combines Thousands of Online Images Into One That Represents Them All · · Score: 1
  11. Yubikeys? on Linux Kernel Git Repositories Add 2-Factor Authentication · · Score: 1

    You mean I can no longer use my Battle.net Authenticator for my commits?

  12. So, where is it? on Software Combines Thousands of Online Images Into One That Represents Them All · · Score: 1

    It's not online for people to play with? I wanted to see if searching for "penis" will result in screen captures of Spore.

  13. Re:Naming contest entries on Microsoft Considered Renaming Internet Explorer To Escape Its Reputation · · Score: 2

    Stupid Webbie, I'm searching for furry tentacle porn.

  14. Yes and it's been a while on Are Altcoins Undermining Bitcoin's Credibility? · · Score: 1

    From where I stand, I think the proliferation of altcoins have undermined Bitcoin since around december 2012, when the number of altcoins started to multiply at an insane rate. Even Litecoin, the main Bitcoin alternative, has lost more than half its value since then.

  15. Plant language is easier than english on Researchers Discover New Plant "Language" · · Score: 1

    A Virginia Tech scientist has discovered a potentially new form of plant communication, that allows then to share genetic information with one another.

    "that allows then to share"?

  16. Re:Maybe I'm the only one... on Is Dolby Atmos a Flop For Home Theater Like 3DTV Was? · · Score: 1

    No need, I keep the doors and windows closed.

  17. ...the paper had begun embedding Amazon Buy-It-Now links in the middle of story sentences.

  18. Re:Maybe I'm the only one... on Is Dolby Atmos a Flop For Home Theater Like 3DTV Was? · · Score: 1

    I prefer headphones. I can watch a movie at night and not bother the neighbours.

  19. Split on Broadband Subscribers Eclipsing Cable TV Subscribers · · Score: 1

    for better or worse, the cable guys are now the internet guys.

    That's why the governments should split those companies in two: ISP and TV/media providers. Otherwise, their TV/media half will just try to choke its own ISP half. With dinosaurs at the head of the cable companies, we already see it happening every day. They still firmly believe that "Internet" is just "interactive digital cable".

  20. Re:Thats a no brainer! on Why the Universe Didn't Become a Black Hole · · Score: 1

    The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, "Universe":

    1. Area: Infinite. Bigger than the biggest thing ever and then some. Much bigger than that in fact, really amazingly immense, a totally stunning size, real "wow, that's big," time. Infinity is just so big that, by comparison, bigness itself looks really titchy. Gigantic multiplied by colossal multiplied by staggeringly huge is the sort of concept we're trying to get across here.

    2. Imports: None. It is impossible to import things into an infinite area, there being no outside to import things in from.

    3. Exports: None. See Imports.

  21. What about the great monthly caps of Canada? on Knocking Down the Great Firewall of China · · Score: 1

    When will someone make a proxy-style program so that we can bypass our small monthly caps?

    You can't see a lantern from far away. They could have chosen a better name, such as Lighthouse.
