    "This folks is why socialists don't want to abandon people. When you do that they turn desperate and there's all sorts of nasty consequences"

    This accounts for the overflowing supermarket shelves in Venezuela. Otherwise, people would be rioting in the streets.

    Uh, oh. AI replacing lawyers would drive the US unemployment rate to fifty percent.

    I'm sorry but I'm not going to listen to a guy who is fat, unemployed, doesn't shower and who eats toejam. If he wants people to listen to him...

    ...He would get himself a show on MSNBC.

  4. Re:Good on France on Le Pen Concedes Defeat To Macron In France's Post-Hack Election (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    People who think it's an example of medieval religious horror to show a pregnant woman a sonogram of her fetus need to be more activist at resisting female genital mutilation.

  5. Re:Collissions on What NASA Found Beyond The Rings Of Saturn (omaha.com) · · Score: 1

    What are the chances that Cassini will collide with some asteroid or rock orbiting Saturn before ending its mission?

    Then we'll know what cleared that orbit.

    Do any of the shortening services check for this?

    It's only entrapment if you lure the mark into downloading something that he does not think is child porn, or if you infect someone who visits the site by misspelling a URL. If you bundle the malware with actual child porn images that are advertised as such, you're golden.

  8. Minus one brazillion, Offtopic on FCC Considers Fining Stephen Colbert Over Controversial Trump Joke (rollingstone.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In what universe is this story news for nerds?

  9. If I eat a chocolate aspirin pot brownie every day I'll be immortal?

    Just to make sure, we should incorporate graphene somehow.

  10. Let's see this tried in a city that has Internet service.

  11. This looks like a copycat version of Amazon's buttons to reorder crap for you.

    Exactly, and why not? There are plenty of commodity products that I automatically want to get every time I go to Walmart (yes, Walmart!). Having the ability to automatically order toilet paper, cat food and coffee would be a real convenience.

  12. The school where larval politicians go to pupate.

  13. Re:Seems we have a bit of a pattern here, doesn't on Days Before Election: Macron Campaign Says It Is the Victim of Massive, Coordinated Hacking Campaign (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    Now who could possibly want to damage Macron, other than the Le Pen campaign?

    His MILF's relatives?

  14. "She's basically following Trumps strategy of attacking her opponent..."

    Thereby becoming the first political candidate in history to do so.

    Like the laws in Chicago protecting the mob and crooked cops. SSDD

    Yes, when we're not poking fun at European legal weirdness, Illinois is our preferred alternate target.

  16. Statistically correct, but culturally fake news on Global App Usage Still Rising, and Users in the US Spend 135 Minutes a Day in Them (geekwire.com) · · Score: 1

    When I start a hike, I fire up Motion-X GPS on my Jesus phone. Over the next five or six hours, it tracks my mileage, route and elevation gain. I was technically "in" the app for all this time but I was not focusing on the phone.

  17. Uh, no.

    If a system like this is implemented, how will liberals poke fun at Walmart shoppers by surreptitiously videoing fat people in the stores? To conspiracy theorists, its evil that Walmart collects data on who shops for what products. To the hipster community, it's evil to limit their ability to collect their own 'data' on Walmatt shoppers.

    Meanwhile, I willingly sell my share of the who-buys-what information to Kroger, in return for discounts and cheaper gasoline. It's called a loyalty program.

  18. Re:Cable needs to improve its streaming on Cord-Cutting Spikes Fivefold In Cable TV's Worst Quarter Ever (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    Demanding the right to skip commercials is changing the nature of the product, and I have no interest in doing that. All I want is the right to stream any network that supports streaming and is in my cable subscription.

    The American ability to shoot back also inhibits recidivism. The British online press is full of home invasion stories that often involve torture for the hell of it, and invariably by criminals with a long record of predation.

    Gen years for downloading g a file? That's a lot more than burglars in the U.K. get, though not as much as a homeowner who injures a burglar by resisting.

    For every stupid American there is a smart American willing to make it a profit or correct the stupidity. In other parts of the world, the stupid is so entrenched that the smart have no choice but to emigrate.

    The problem is that as time goes on, fewer and fewer of our brilliant people are motivated to run for public office. That leads to ideas like this one.

    We've got your power generation and a large chunk of your semiconductor business. Now give us your space industry.

  24. Cable needs to improve its streaming on Cord-Cutting Spikes Fivefold In Cable TV's Worst Quarter Ever (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no reason that cable channels couldn't survive the transition to streaming perfectly well by making it as easy for customers to stream as to watch on air. Set up a consistent verify-with-provider interface that works for all customers, show the same ads online as on the air, and gain new customers with the ability to bingewatch and time-shift.

    But no. There are a lot of networks in my cable tier that don't include my cable provider in their signon list. Those are the ones I have to watch on Kodi, in which case their commercials don't get aired.
