  1. Re:Less nuclear means more coal on Switzerland Votes To Abandon Nuclear Power In Favor of Renewables (bbc.com) · · Score: 2, Funny

    I guess it's a good thing German is not at high risk for a tsunami any time soon.

  2. I thought punishment will be by remote detonation like the previous model.

    That's only in the Samsung line.

  3. Re:Again, Iran shows it knows its stuff on Iran Bans Pokemon Go Over 'Security Concerns' (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    You're correct that they issued a fatwa against it, citing gambling as the main source of objection...but...it still works here...and most of the PokeStops are mosques...
    whistles and walks past the mosque again....

  4. Seriously? on Reported Top Nigerian Email Scammer Arrested (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The Nigerian scammer was actually Nigerian?

    It's perfectly ok to fuck your employees for a dollar.

    Only in Nevada.

    Wikipedia:

    The collapse made the old 7 World Trade Center the first tall building known to have collapsed primarily due to uncontrolled fires,[8] and the only steel skyscraper in the world to have collapsed due to fire.[9]

    If someone can explain why a building that was not hit by a 747 collapsed in the same manner as the two that were, I will gladly fold my tinfoil hat into a cup and drink the kool-aid.

  10. Re:A Conspiracy Theorist Walks Into a Bar on Blackmail: Obama Under Pressure To Declassify Secret 9/11 Report (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 1

    A building collapsing due to internal stresses should have toppled over, with the core of the building that wasn't on fire remaining. Oh yeah, and Building 7 etc. etc.

  11. Re: Trucks should be banned on Netherlands Looks To Ban All Non-Electric Cars By 2025 (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    The only reason I have a truck is b/c there are some things you're not going to put in the back of your kid hauler. The only time it moves is when it's hauling wood/concrete/dirt or construction material. I'm not one of those guys that tows a uhaul trailer behind my lifted truck b/c I can't get the dishwasher that high off the ground.

    You touch my truck and you'll see why I have the gun.

  13. Needed said? on Drone-Shooting is Now a Federal Crime, FAA Confirms (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    a drone crashed through the window of an office building and hit an unarmed office worker on the head.

    Does any regularly interact with "armed office workers", because that could make deciding which project gets done more interesting.

  14. Re:No need to move your fat asses! on Autonomous Robots Begin Testing For New Delivery Service · · Score: 1

    Life for the rest of us will be so much better, and less crowded if they stay in their Matrix Pod.

  15. Re: Temporary Hope? on 'Neural Bypass' Links Brain To Hand To Get Around Paralysis (ieee.org) · · Score: 1

    Whoosh right back at you. Using the phrase "jump at the chance" when referring to a paralyzed individual is like a blind person "seeing the light".

    There's a good chance this test subject jumped at the chance to help. :)

  17. That sounds like an unintentional interstellar machine gun.

  18. So, if it's equal pay for equal work, then why is there disparity between the segmentation? It seems like a company as big as Microsoft could do the math and get it to average out to a flat 1.00 for everyone.

  19. +1 Informative. No mod points today, but that's definitely good to know.

  20. Re:Apple's "significant responsibility" hey? on Apple Unveils Liam, An iPhone Recycling Robot That Salvages Parts (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    They've had decades to think about their responsibility towards the environment, and they haven't done jack squat about it up to now...

    They built a robot, which couldn't be bought, to specifically disassemble their products. That sounds like a little more than squatting.

  21. Re:Why is google doing autonomous cars then? on Google Puts Boston Dynamics Up For Sale In Robotics Retreat (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Forget the taxi. I want to ride a steam punk robo-horse to work. How more hipster could that be?

    You think Apple wouldn't grandstand in front of everyone "Look how customer-centric/American Rights/privacy-oriented/underdog we're being at our own expense" as a way to showcase their product? They would never have to advertise again.

    If skynet cures cancer and I get my bionic limbs, so I can free climb on Mars, then I welcome skynet. Everyone assumes it will actually turn out like Terminator and not some hybrid Utopian society. I'd trust a robo-cop that equally applied the rules more than the "you happened to be rolling down hill faster due to gravity, so now you owe me $120"
