  1. Re:Wow on Counter-Strike Finally Gets the League It Deserves · · Score: 1

    You can get a degree in Adobe CS?

  2. Re:Why do companies keep thinking people *want* th on Ubuntu May Beat Windows 10 To Phone-PC Convergence After All · · Score: 3, Funny

    But wouldn't it make devices 50% lighter, 50% smaller and twice as portable if they're half-assed?

  3. Obligatory on 17-Year-Old Radio Astronomy Mystery Traced Back To Kitchen Microwave · · Score: 1
  4. Re:WTF on Canadian Town Outlaws Online Insults To Police and Officials · · Score: 1

    Ironically, French speakers from almost anywhere else in the world typically can't understand WTF Quebec people are saying.

    Ah ouin? Pour kessé tu penses qui sont pas capable de comprendre quand t-on leur parle? Parce qui parlent pas français, sti! /Sarcasm

    The Office Québécois de la langue française is one of the most annoying organisation over here.

  5. Re:Oh, I got this! on NASA Will Award You $5,000 For Your Finest Mars City Idea · · Score: 4, Funny

    No, first you have to get your ass to Mars.

  6. Re:Beats music another app I can't delete on Apple Gets Antitrust Scrutiny Over Music Deals · · Score: 3, Funny

    Get yourself an iPhone 3GS, Apple will leave you alone.

  7. People want to "rent" music? Really? on Apple Gets Antitrust Scrutiny Over Music Deals · · Score: 1

    I still don't see people want to pay indefinitely to be able to hear their music. Also, depending on online services suck.

  8. Sony's Project Morpheus on Oculus Rift Launching In Q1 2016 · · Score: 1

    Does it come with a blue pill and a red pill?

  9. Re:Hey, how about... on The Challenge of Getting a Usable QWERTY Keyboard Onto a Dime-sized Screen · · Score: 1
  10. The challenge is wrong on The Challenge of Getting a Usable QWERTY Keyboard Onto a Dime-sized Screen · · Score: 1

    Voice, patterns, signs... anything but a keyboard. The input area is just too small.

    Even if someone do manage to invent something clever, it's not going to be anywhere near the usability of a full-sized keyboard. There's a reason Apple won't make smaller laptops: they know a usable keyboard needs to be a minimum size.

  11. Re:Swift is little known??????? on Is It Worth Learning a Little-Known Programming Language? · · Score: 0

    Funny fact: CleverBoy 5.2 was programmed in Swift.

  12. Re:You cant win... on The BBC Looks At Rollover Bugs, Past and Approaching · · Score: 1

    If you normally work for an hour a day that means you're only giving ~0.041667% to begin with.

  13. Re:You cant win... on The BBC Looks At Rollover Bugs, Past and Approaching · · Score: 1

    If you're a programmer and you believe you can give 110% even for one day, you have other problems.

  14. Python script, eh? on USBKill Transforms a Thumb Drive Into an "Anti-Forensic" Device · · Score: 1

    Too bad that's not installed by default on the two most used desktop operating systems.

  15. Re:Lives be damned on Recent Paper Shows Fracking Chemicals In Drinking Water, Industry Attacks It · · Score: 1

    Either you got bad moderators that day or I got good moderators today, or maybe the opinion of the majority is changing.

  16. Re: Lives be damned on Recent Paper Shows Fracking Chemicals In Drinking Water, Industry Attacks It · · Score: 2

    Maybe because you can't break rocks with harsh words?

    Tell that to this guy.

  17. Re:Industry attacks it on Recent Paper Shows Fracking Chemicals In Drinking Water, Industry Attacks It · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Water is a basic necessity of life. It's not a product.

    In other news, it's up to the fracking companies to protect themselves against nukes from orbit.

  18. Lives be damned on Recent Paper Shows Fracking Chemicals In Drinking Water, Industry Attacks It · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Profits above all else.

    Hu-mans have turned into Ferengi.

  19. Re:lots and lots of money on Led By Zuckerberg, Billionaires Give $100M To Fund Private Elementary Schools · · Score: 1

    On graduation night, each gets a night with an expensive prostitute. Well, more like 5 minutes if you go by the money sense schools have these days.

    And what are they supposed to do with that extra minute?

  20. Obviously on Maritime Cybersecurity Firm: 37% of Microsoft Servers On Ships Are Vulnerable · · Score: 4, Funny

    Those servers are particularly vulnerable to flooding.

    It's a 7404, right?

  23. Investors on SurveyMonkey's CEO Dies While Vacationing With Wife Sheryl Sandberg · · Score: 1

    SurveyMonkey ... recently valued by investors at $2 billion.

    Valued by investors with shares of SurveyMonkey, no doubt.

  24. Square Enix on Microsoft's AI Judges Age From Snapshots, With Mixed Results · · Score: 1

    It seems Square Enix did an excellent job with the Miqo'te race of Final Fantasy XIV:

    http://24.media.tumblr.com/849...

    Anyone dare to try that AI with the other races, especially Lalafell? :p

  25. Shame on you guys on Unable To Hack Into Grading System, Georgia Student Torches Computer Lab · · Score: 4, Insightful
