  1. Color me shocked! on US Adults Score Poorly On Worldwide Test · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Ha! You mean to tell me that all those kids who 10-20 years ago were getting a shit education grew up to be adults that don't know shit? Say it isn't so! Next thing you'll tell me is that correlation isn't causation and there is some bigger root cause we just haven't figured out yet.

  2. Re:They do! on Car Dealers vs the Web: GM Shifts Toward Online Purchasing · · Score: 1

    Nope afraid not. Hehe. You actually don't get it from them. It's much like the thing in the article. They get you set up on the Amazon buy, and then you head off to the local dealer to pick it up. It isn't perfect or ideal right now but it's a start.

    Amazon should sell cars.

  4. Your first rodeo? on Alcatel-Lucent To Cut 10,000 Workers, Calls It "Shift Plan" · · Score: 1

    Why would you seem surprised that they haven't bothered telling you yet? Is this your first big corporate rodeo? Every company that I have ever worked for never tells us, the workers, shit about what is going. It gets people panicky. They get depressed and lower output. They get pissed off and steal or sabotage equipment. Some even get super pissed and come to work armed for a good old fashioned game of Postal. I have typically always heard about what was happening to me from the news before managment bothered to "officially" annouce it. Your employer will even probably deny it for a week or so until they just can't hide it. But you know what answers you'll get from them when you specifically ask them "Will I be geting laid off?" They'll just say "we just don't know yet," "we have some plans still up in the air so we can't speculate," "we're doing everything we can," and a whole host of other PHB talk. Do you know when you will "officially" find out you're getting the axe? EXACTLY 2 weeks before your layoff date. Not one minute sooner.

    They call you a sociopath cause you go around quoting Neitzsche.

  9. Ever use a Nintendo? on Bill Gates Acknowledges Ctrl+Alt+Del Was a Mistake · · Score: 1

    That's nothing! To get to the special functions of a Nintendo you needed Up, Up, Down, Down, Left, Right, Left, Right, B, A. That got old quick but man it was powerful!

    You picked the wrong song for this article. The opening line of TFS even set it up for you:

  15. Expensively cheap! on Middle-Click Paste? Not For Long · · Score: 1

    Not a cheap mouse in price but not very well contructed. I say this as a rabid fan too. I can't game properly without mine anymore. Even a G500 gaming mouse is nothing compared to the Naga, what with its piddly 5 or 6 buttons. I have 4 Nagas and everyone of them has some kind of issue and those issues started within the first 6 months of them being new. Because I love the layout so much, I put up with them. Though the Logitech G600 MMO is catching my attention these days and Logitech is usually a damned fine constructed mouse but still matching Razer prices.

  16. Re:jerk on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    If you're gonna make up some hyperbole to reinforce your dubious claims, then at least get it right. The US Interstate system, commonly called "the freeway" has a minimum speed limit of 45mph. So yes, that guy doing 25 does carry some of the blame because he in violation of the law. Many other 4 lane (or higher) divided highway systems, also referred to as freeways, will usually have a minimum speed but will vary by state. If you hit a slow or stationary object with your vehicle, you are a shitty driver and need some retraining instead of blame shifting.

    It would fail at that and you know it! It'd be too tall and so make the table wobble in the opposite direction and stick out just far enough you'd stub your toe on it every time you walked by.

    I'm sorry, I couldn't hear what you were saying over everyone else screaming "NOT IN MY BACKYARD!" Did you say "nasty"? I thought I heard you say nasty but I wasn't sure. My lack of hearing is a nasty problem that would require a pretty nasty fix to get it back to something useful. It's my own fault though. Years of nasty ass cars with loud nasty exhaust pipes on them, coupled with the nasty ass machine guns I had to fire in the Army at all those nasty targets. As a matter of fact, I should go shower- my ears are feeling kind of nasty. It's all this nasty dust in my nasty ass basement. I really should clean it up. My mom does say I'm a nasty ass alot of the time.

    OH and one more thing:

    NASTY!
