    i think the EU would be quite happy to let Greece and Spain leave.

  2. Re:Is this the one with the all-pink UI? on Wi-Fi Router's 'Pregnant Women' Setting Sparks Vendor Rivalry In China · · Score: 1

    Remember, this is China, so it would need to be a blue UI; a pink UI would be aborted before they even started UX testing.

  3. Re:Won't someone think of the children? on Wi-Fi Router's 'Pregnant Women' Setting Sparks Vendor Rivalry In China · · Score: 3, Funny

    wish they'd make a router with 'epilepsy' mode, where it dims/disables all front lights. I mean short of the electrical tape option of course.

  4. Re:this looks interesting on New Manufacturing Technique Halves Cost of Lithium-Ion Batteries · · Score: 1

    I cannot imagine the Japanese doing that. Did you really just mean "China", but didn't want to put too fine a point on it? :)

    (North Korean scientific claims, such as the recent ebola/aids/whatever cure are so obviously silly that they don't merit serious consideration)

  5. Re:Government on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    Look to countries that are deregulating their economy for economic collapse followed by massive civil unrest up to and including civil war. You silly dipshit. Unless you were born prior to 2008, you literally just fucking saw what happened when countries let big business run amok.

    look man, if parent post wasn't at least partially true, you wouldn't have things like SF residents up in arms over companies like Genentech or Google using private busing. There is a very very clear differentiation between the haves and have not's. Kind of a bad comparison *now*, but prior to becoming the 'rust belt', the northern Midwest produced 'things', as well as a huge middle class across multiple industries.

    Tricking people into clicking on ads, or electronically stalking them not only fails to produce wealth outside of shareholders, but it has a negative social value as well. (though that's arguably just an opinion.)

    yes, sorry. mp3 players are called ipods generically. and that's a good thing for apple, no? (well it was, until mp3 players were usurped by iphones. :) )

  8. Re:No Story Here on IMAX Tries To Censor Ars Technica Over SteamVR Comparison · · Score: 1

    On one hand, one of the goals of advertising is to put a brand out there, and have people keep it in mind. On the other, kleenex and xerox are so dominant in that regard, that the product category itself is referenced by the brand name.

    That's just awful, I feel sorry for them. Notice you don't see apple complain that mp3's are now generically known as 'ipods'.

  9. Re:Time to recompile humanity on Editing DNA For Fame and Fortune · · Score: 1

    Where are my mod points? And why isn't there an option for "-5 Stupidly Naive and Autistic"?

    Look at the problems space programs have had world over. Mission scrubbing bugs revolving around things as trivial as converting between metric and imperial. Mistakes made by teams comprised of literally some of the smartest people on the entire planet.

    And you're naive enough to think we'd be able to do better than millions of years of trial and error evolution?

    No thank you.

    Well by pulling out, they are also drastically reducing (some say by ~95%) the chance they will be held accountable for whatever deformed, mutated creature results from this unholy union.

    I imagine they didn't want to be on the hook for the next 20 odd years for something they really had no control over in the first place? Sure it's 'voluntary' and 'enforceable', but sometimes people just say things like that as a lure. When really, they have completely contrary ulterior motives.

    Gold digging special interest groups, the lot of them.

    asking the chinese to help you innovate is like asking the fox to guard your hen-house.

    Apple? Really? Those same chinese manufacturers will ensure that Apple's game plan of squeezing a premium out of commodity hardware will eventually fail.

    They will not be able to come up with miracle iDevices perpetually -- eventually they'll hit a misstep or two, and be put in the exact same situation as Dell and HP.

    Because ideally anyone buying pot is over 18, and knows what they are getting themselves into. We'd be pretty silly as a society if we had the same implied requirement for buying a french doughnut and a coke.
