  1. Irony on 'CandySwipe' Crushed: When Game Development Turns Nasty · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'd like to see a real candy company sue King for using the word "candy".

    Hell, even funnier would be a real King suing him for misuse of the title "King" by a non-royalty.

  2. Re:Tango DropBox on 'CandySwipe' Crushed: When Game Development Turns Nasty · · Score: -1, Troll

    They used the exact same fucking name and added another word in front of it and you're surprised this happened?

  3. Re:Low Frequency on 11-Year UK Study Reports No Health Danger From Mobile Phone Transmissions · · Score: 1

    And UHF is technically the best "Weird Al" Yankovic movie.

  4. Schools and roads closed? on Massive Storm Buries US East Coast In Snow and Ice · · Score: 1

    I work from home you insensitive clod!

    reflecting sunlight to space

    A preemptive strike against the machines, eh?

  6. Re:Where I live, that's normal weather on Massive Storm Buries US East Coast In Snow and Ice · · Score: 1

    ...and what kind of road congestion does Canada have?

    The whole nation of Canada has 35m people. Metro Boston has around 5m. Metro NYC has 20m.

    Maybe, but as we all learned from South Park, Canada only has one road for all those 35 million Canadians.

  7. Re:Where I live, that's normal weather on Massive Storm Buries US East Coast In Snow and Ice · · Score: 2

    I don't know if it means anything, but in my city, even the insurance forms have Godzilla clauses.

  8. Re:Eastern Ontario - sunny and clear on Massive Storm Buries US East Coast In Snow and Ice · · Score: 2

    I also learned ... what peeling certain labels off of long neck beer bottles meant

    I also know what it means, but where the hell are you supposed to find bananas in the middle of a snow storm?

  9. Re:Woooo on National Ignition Facility Takes First Steps Towards Fusion Energy · · Score: 1

    That movie was fucking awesome.

  10. Re:Force them to warrenty whole unit.. on Customer: Dell Denies Speaker Repair Under Warranty, Blames VLC · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Fuck beta from orbit. It's the only way to be sure.

  11. Steam Client on Steam Music Now Accepting Beta Signups · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They better try to lose some bloatware from their Steam Client. On my Mac mini, it's faster to start fucking Photoshop CS6 then to start Steam.

  12. This is Canada on Press Used To Print Millions of US Banknotes Seized In Quebec · · Score: 1

    Everything from the government is supposed to be published in english and french.

    And it is: english version, version française.

  13. Re:Should Everybody Learn Calculus? on Should Everybody Learn To Code? · · Score: 1

    What do you mean latex salesmen? Are we talking about imports or exports?

  14. Re:Nothing is Destroyed, Nothing is Forgotten on Where Old Hard Disks (with Digital Secrets) Go To Die · · Score: 1

    I will remember. I will read. Squirrel!

  15. Bitcoin wallets on Where Old Hard Disks (with Digital Secrets) Go To Die · · Score: 1

    If they're not stupid, they're checking to see if the drives don't have any crypto-coin wallets before destroying them.

  16. Re:Using encryption is the better option on Where Old Hard Disks (with Digital Secrets) Go To Die · · Score: 1

    We're in 2014, ROT26 has been a weak encryption scheme since the 1970's. You really should upgrade to ROT436207616.

  17. Re:Peak "platform" on The JavaScript Juggernaut Rolls On · · Score: 1

    I'm launching a new company that will offer an operating system, platform-based solution services hosted in the cloud. Our first server will have a capacity of 1000 Megabitcoins per Doge/Watts.

  18. Re:Peak "platform" on The JavaScript Juggernaut Rolls On · · Score: 1

    Count yourself lucky. My toaster is a bread-burning platform.

  19. Good and bad on Megatons To Megawatts Program Comes To a Close · · Score: 3, Interesting

    With computers, we have good and bad CPU designs, good and bad GPU designs, good and bad OS designs.

    Like computers, nuclear power plants come in many designs, some good and some bad. Watch this and learn a bit more, especially about the Integral fast reactor design.

    I'm all for green power, but let's not forget that right now solar panels are not terribly efficient and very resource-intensive during the manufacturing process, wind farms don't work without wind (duh) and kill birds, etc. Each choice has drawbacks and from the numbers given in this film, if they are accurate, we'd be insane not to use nuclear power plants as long as they're IFR-type.

  20. Obligatory on Anti-Polygraph Instructor Who Was Targeted By Feds Goes Public · · Score: 1

    Tip from the master, George Costanza.

  21. Re:printrbot is cheaper on $499 3-D Printer Drew Plenty of Attention at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

  22. Re:Nobody seems to know what to do with a 3D print on $499 3-D Printer Drew Plenty of Attention at CES (Video) · · Score: 1

    The market for 3D printers could be bigger than the CNC + Laser cutter + Vinyl cutter market combined. It's still a small fraction of the whole population, but the market is there.

  23. I'm addicted to a lot of things on 'Web Junkie': Harrowing Documentary On China's Internet Addiction Rehab Clinics · · Score: 1

    I tried to lower my "eating addiction" in order to stop my "going to the bathroom" addiction, but it only made my "I need to sleep" addiction even worst.

  24. Re:A collision of stupid on AMC Theaters Allegedly Calls FBI to Interrogate a Google Glass Wearer · · Score: 1

    Just because you're against Google Glass doesn't mean you have to be on the MPAA's side.

  25. Alright! on Amazon: We Can Ship Items Before Customers Order · · Score: 1

    I'm going to put a shitload of Radeon R9 290X and Bitcoin mining hardware in my shopping cart, just in case they send it by mistake.
