  1. Re:Alternative View on Why Robots Will Not Be Smarter Than Humans By 2029 · · Score: 1

    Doctor: [laughs] Right, kick ass. Well, don't want to sound like a dick or nothin', but, ah... it says on your chart that you're fucked up. Ah, you talk like a fag, and your shit's all retarded. What I'd do, is just like... like... you know, like, you know what I mean, like...

  2. And going from "Xbox 360" to "Xbox One" is not asshattery? At least "X" is further along the ASCII table than "9".

  3. Which countries? on First Study of the Evolution of Memes On Facebook · · Score: 1

    No one should die because they cannot afford health care and no one should go broke because they get sick.

    Which third-world countries are they talking about?

  4. I need to specify "Mac OS != Mac OS X" because some mods hate Apple so much that they can't even be bothered to learn anything about it.

    Calling OS X "Mac OS" (instead of at least "Mac OS X") is like calling the latest Windows version "MS-DOS 2014".

  5. It was referred as "Mac OS" in the pre-OS X days.

    "Mac OS" is from the Windows 95/98/XP era.

  6. It hasn't been called "Mac OS" for about a decade now. It's OS X.

  7. Wow on Massachusetts Court Says 'Upskirt' Photos Are Legal · · Score: 2

    Now, to get this court ruling pass in Japan....

  8. Ponies! on Pwnie Express Rides Again at RSA 2014 (Video) · · Score: 1

    Oh wait.

  9. Re:Please help on Bitcoin Exchange Flexcoin Wiped Out By Theft · · Score: 1

    Please keep this troll on life support, he really needs the coins to pay for his Internet connection!

  10. Re:That's Great, But... on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 1

    Then those states are doing it wrong.

  11. Re:That's Great, But... on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 1

    Since soda cans can be returned for 5 cents each at the grocery stores, I'm guessing most people can't even gather enough aluminium in other forms to even pay for the trip to a metal dealer once a year.

  12. Re:That's Great, But... on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 2

    Walmart trucks will only carry walmart trailers. Do you think empty cans and bottles fly to the recycling centers by themselves?

  13. Re:BREAKING: Canada attacks Russia on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 2, Funny

    Do you know why I know this news is fake? You spoke of Canadian troop transport ships and amphibious vehicles in the plural form.

  14. Re:Why so many trucks? Why not railroads on Walmart Unveils Turbine-Powered WAVE Concept Truck · · Score: 1

    Then they should increase the highway taxes for heavy trucks by 96., 960 or 9600, not sure of the ratio but it should reflect the actual damages vs a regular car or truck.

  15. Re:Do you nerds see what you hath wrought? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    Easy solution: don't buy a DRM-enabled, Internet-connected coffee machine.

  16. Re:Should be banned on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    I agree about the long-term disposal issue. But how do you propose producing hermetically sealed milk products in individual serving sizes without plastic?

    I propose that you switch to black coffee, you insensitive clod!

  17. Re:Switch? on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it's going to be much easier to retrieve up all those billions of little plastic cups in dumps in a few decades. But at least you don't have the hassle of cleaning up anything when you want to drink a cup of your legal stimulant.

  18. Keurig sucks on The Next Keurig Will Make Your Coffee With a Dash of "DRM" · · Score: 1

    I tried their machine once. But it invariably produced a concoction that was almost, but not quite, entirely unlike coffee.

  19. Re:We were warned on Scientists Revive a Giant 30,000 Year Old Virus From Ice · · Score: 1

    At least we had fun with X-Files in War of the Coprophages, Stargate with Window of Opportunity and Fringe with Walter's drug-induced Monty Python clip in Black Blotter.

  20. Don't worry on Fujitsu Labs Develops Prototype Haptic Sensory Tablet · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Porn games will think of something.

  21. Re:Ouya just isn't compelling on Ouya CEO Talks Console's Tough First Year, and Ambitious "Ouya Everywhere" Plan · · Score: 1
  22. Re:just buy an costa rica island to put them on on The Mammoth Cometh: Revive & Restore Tackles De-Extinction · · Score: 5, Funny

    Great idea! In the meantime, I'll gather a billionaire, a paleontologist, a paleobotanist, a mathematician and chaos theorist and an annoying granddaughter and grandson.

  23. Re:Tim Cook doesn't understand the Law on Tim Cook: If You Don't Like Our Energy Policies, Don't Buy Apple Stock · · Score: 1

    The Law says he must act in the best interest of the shareholders, which is to say that building shareholder value is his #1 legal obligation as the CEO of the company. Everything else takes a back seat.

    Indeed. And he IS acting in the best interest of the shareholders, because being a green company is something important to a lot of people who use Apple products. If you still think most of them are buying shiny useless objects, think again. There's a philosophy and a mindset behind it all. I could tell you the "Think Different" cliché, but you obviously can't do that.

  24. Intel GPUs on Portal 2 Beta Released For Linux · · Score: 1

    The curse of low-end systems.

  25. Leonard McCoy on Kepler's Alien World Count Skyrockets · · Score: 1

    The higher mass traps significantly more hydrogen during the formation of the planetary system, which results in extremely high atmospheric pressure — high enough to be hostile to known life.

    It's life, Jim, but not as we know it.
