  1. Re:First post on The Pioneer Who Invented the Weather Forecast · · Score: 1

    It seems you predicted correctly. You might have a future as a TV Weather Man, or even as a Business Technology Analyst!

  2. Re:we want gameplay, not "imperfections in the ski on Square Enix Witch Chapter Real-Time CG DX12 Demo Impresses At Microsoft BUILD · · Score: 4, Funny

    Also, DX12 = the fail. News flash: there are more platforms now than Windows. Locking yourself into that ecosystem is pretty 20th century.

    What the hell are you talking about? DX12 is available on both Windows 10 and Xbox One!

  3. Any chance they'll update Final Fantasy XIV with this new engine?

    Better-looking catgirls? Yeah! ^_^

  4. Re:It took 5 years? on Unnoticed For Years, Malware Turned Linux Servers Into Spamming Machines · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Read the article? What madness is this?

    I haven't read it either and I'll still agree with MobileTatsu-NJG here: the huge benefit with OSS that people keep talking about is that thousand of people looking at the source code are able to find bugs, trojans and backdoors. And this particular problem is over five years old, too.

  5. Re:2kW with a peak to 3? on Tesla Announces Home Battery System · · Score: 1

    If you're using your stove at the same time as your clothes dryer, you're doing it wrong. Combine both and save on energy costs!

  6. Re:Can't wait to get this installed in my house on Tesla Announces Home Battery System · · Score: 1

    Have you calculated the cost difference in hourly rates, your yearly use and the total price of such a setup? How long will it take to pay itself back before you see any financial gains?

    You didn't even read his post before replying.

  8. Re:Haskell? on Paul Hudak, Co-creator of Haskell, Has Died · · Score: -1, Troll

    I've never heard about Erlang either and while I know that LISP is a programming language, I've never seen someone use it.

    As for the idiot who modded my original comment as a troll, get off your high horse. Most people will only know about assembler, Cobol, Basic, Pascal, C, C++, C#, PHP, etc.

  9. Re:Skype on Microsoft Announces Windows Holographic Platform · · Score: 1

    Once everyone wears one, it's going to be "normal".

  10. Haskell? on Paul Hudak, Co-creator of Haskell, Has Died · · Score: -1, Troll

    He was known as one of the principle designers of Haskell, which you probably don't need to be told he defined as "a purely functional programming language."

    I'm sorry, but this is the first time I ever hear about Haskell. There's just too many fringe projects, languages, frameworks, widgets and services out there, you can't know about them all.

  11. Re:Awesome on Apple, IBM To Bring iPads To 5 Million Elderly Japanese · · Score: 1

    This is japan. It will come preloaded with tons of bookmarks for catgirls websites.

  12. Re:As an elderly Japanese man... on Apple, IBM To Bring iPads To 5 Million Elderly Japanese · · Score: 1

    Lesson 1: Just because your VCR keeps telling you it's noon doesn't mean you should keep eating all the time.

  13. Re:big dropoff in new tech over age 70 on Apple, IBM To Bring iPads To 5 Million Elderly Japanese · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Unfortunately, despite knowing this, I can't figure out how to fix it. :(

    I guess you must be over 70.

  14. Re:Let's rephrase the article on Bitcoin Is Disrupting the Argentine Economy · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If governments keep pushing laws that have nothing to do with justice, in the end they can only get civil wars.

  15. Banks on Bitcoin Is Disrupting the Argentine Economy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    As usual, if you can't understand that you can't screw your users without losing them, you merit losing ground to new technologies.

    Oh, that's hot.

  17. Re:Capitalism is doomed on Microsoft Announces Windows Holographic Platform · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Modded down by an idiot who doesn't understand the meaning of the word communism, I'm guessing.

    Here's a good example of what evil "communism" can accomplish:
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...

    Notice how the U.S.A. is not in that list? That's because capitalism rules in that country, even over the very lives of its priso... citizens.

  18. Finally on Microsoft Announces Windows Holographic Platform · · Score: 5, Funny

    Virtual anime girlfriends* are finally here!

    * Don't worry, I'll store them in separate folders so they don't know about each other.

    If companies had to list everything that's not possible with their products, everything would come with enough books to fill an olympic swimming pool.

    Did you know you can't wear the Apple watch if you don't have arms?

  24. Re:Netflix has Game of Thrones? on Verizon Tells Customer He Needs 75Mbps For Smoother Netflix Video · · Score: 1

    I think Netflix has DVDs only in the U.S.A., all other countries only have streaming.

    And in Canada, Games of Thrones is available (for streaming).

  25. Re:Ratios? on A Light-Powered Retina Implant For the Blind · · Score: 1

    The inches/feet ratio makes it harder to visualize.
