    They've been "out of it", resulting in the joke that is U.S. internet access.

  2. Re:Well I guess it's a good thing... on Adobe's Latest Zero-Day Exploit Repurposed, Targeting Adult Websites · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They don't "owe" us anything.
    They choose to put info up at a public website. What internet users do with their respective browsers is irrelevant.

    Alright. Positive thinking it is.

  9. Re:White House... on Gunmen Kill 12, Wound 7 At French Magazine HQ · · Score: 1

    Well, generally speaking, armed resistance is what usually stops active shooters. Not positive thinking.

    Simple. Restart psych meds.

  11. Re:Land of the free on Reaction To the Sony Hack Is 'Beyond the Realm of Stupid' · · Score: 1

  13. Re:Because Apple has no fucks to give about Window on Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court He Worked To Block Competitors · · Score: 1

    Yeah okay.

  14. Re:Because Apple has no fucks to give about Window on Former iTunes Engineer Tells Court He Worked To Block Competitors · · Score: 1

    Considering Windows is the dominant OS in the market and has been for a long time, I'd say that they are obligated to do just that. Half-assing it irritates a lot of people, many of which are (were) potential future customers.

  15. Re:Later it was heard... on Comcast Forgets To Delete Revealing Note From Blog Post · · Score: 1

    Whoosh.

  17. Re:Setting aside that old Constitution on 18th Century Law Dredged Up To Force Decryption of Devices · · Score: 1

    I can assume you feel this way about "human rights" as well? That they're not absolute? That's the path you're heading down.

  18. Re:Setting aside that old Constitution on 18th Century Law Dredged Up To Force Decryption of Devices · · Score: 1

    The militia they are talking about is every able bodied man, IIRC. Not a standing army, but the entire people.

    It chagrins the hell out of us, AC, it really does.

  20. Re:That isn't a bad thing on Breath Test For Pot Being Developed At WSU · · Score: 1

    If you're going to have a flat penalty scheme, why bother testing the difference?

  21. Re:Rather late on Windows 10 To Feature Native Support For MKV and FLAC · · Score: 2

    Why do mp3 heads always do this? Who gives a shit what others prefer? And correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't disk space really cheap these days? Get over it.

  22. Coders? on Number of Coders In Congress To Triple (From One To Three) · · Score: 2

    I think a few networking folks would be more valuable at present.

  23. Re:don't tax alternative energy and transportation on Rooftop Solar Could Reach Price Parity In the US By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Why in the hell would US manufacturers of solar tech want their product to be undesirable to the market?

    I thought they were uniformly disliked for a long while now...

  25. Re:Why is he worried on Elon Musk Warns Against Unleashing Artificial Intelligence "Demon" · · Score: 1

    Having a vehicle that decides to ram itself into a pole is not a safety feature. Seatbelts and airbags become absolutely necessary in a car that dangerous.
