  1. Re:Oh no! on Scotland Builds Power Farms of the Future Under the Sea · · Score: 2

    Also "intelligent" and "overlords." I think houstonbofh might be one of the fish that's going to wind up in the turbines.

  2. Re:This is great news! on Silicon Valley Swings To Republicans · · Score: -1, Troll

    They're thinking what wingnut media told them to believe. Republicans choose to immerse themselves in an alternate-reality of their own making, and just can't engage with the real world anymore.

  3. Re:This is great news! on Silicon Valley Swings To Republicans · · Score: -1, Troll

    Gotta love how hard you wingnuts work to embarrass Republicans. A person has to be absolutely insane to support the degenerate, superstitious cult that calls itself the Republican party.

    >Your just stupid...

    Nice hostility and poor spelling you have going there. Are you drinking?

  5. Re:Did he leave or was he invited to leave? on Android Co-Founder Andy Rubin Leaving Google · · Score: 1

    There are now some limitations when browsing directories directly on an android phone, the SD card is read-only from the filesystem, but the limitation is NOT present when browsing directories from the PC, so AC seems confused.

  6. Re:Can we ban the MPAA instead? on MPAA Bans Google Glass In Theaters · · Score: 1

    The same people who allow you authority at your business. Your entitled attitude is the only problem here.

  7. Re:Smart phones still acceptable. on MPAA Bans Google Glass In Theaters · · Score: 1

    No, you're also required to turn off your phone and put it away. This is no different.

    Btw, this thread is a good argument to ban ACs. So many of the entitled nitwits in this thread are posting as AC.

  8. Re:Are clocks on phones really a step back? on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 1

    >The wristwatch ended the reign of the pocket watch once as for all, or so we thought.

    Good point, and I'm very happy with my HTC One (M8) Pocket Watch +.

    I've used a FitBit and a Basis smart watch, but I prefer to not have anything strapped to my wrists. I was OK with it for a few months, but at some point wearing these things got uncomfortable.

  9. Re:How big a fuss is it, really? on How Apple Watch Is Really a Regression In Watchmaking · · Score: 1

    How big a difference is it to set it "on a charger on my nightstand", instead of just "on my nightstand?"

    That's fine as long as the watch doesn't track your sleep. I had a Basis smart watch, and having to take it off to charge it daily was a definite shortcoming. For a watch w/o sleep tracking, your solution is fine.

  10. Re:Was pretty obvious on Skilled Foreign Workers Treated as Indentured Servants · · Score: 1

    Not really, but it would be cooler if we weren't as bad as Dubai. The weak are being exploited by the powerful all over the world.

  11. Re:Darrell Issa is a perfect example on We Are All Confident Idiots · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure Issa knows he's a sleazy clown who is voted into office by people who are as bad as he is.

  12. Re:Summary doesn't support headline on We Are All Confident Idiots · · Score: 1

    >Everyone has some amount of incompetence in some field.

    Correct. A great example of this is neurosurgeon Ben Carson. He's considered to be very capable in his field, but has internalized common Conservative beliefs like creationism, which usually only the least capable of us fall for.

  13. Re:Sounds like Slashdot on We Are All Confident Idiots · · Score: 1

    Confidence is a big part of being considered awesome. Carry on.

  14. Re:I'm fine with a fine on FTC Sues AT&T For Throttling 'Unlimited' Data Plan Customers Up To 90% · · Score: 4, Funny

    Yes, but not for AT&T.

  15. Re:Its CBS the network that gave us Dan Rather on Ex-CBS Reporter Claims Government Agency Bugged Her Computer · · Score: 1, Informative

    Of course CBS went into Lala land. Didn't you see Lara Logan's fake Benghazi report? Her career imploded just like Rather's, but it was for pandering to people immersed in right-wing propaganda, rather than Democrats. It was exactly the same situation with a partisan hack falling for lies because of confirmation bias. It's a little odd that you'd bring up Rather, instead of the more-recent failure.

  16. Re:Apple doesn't sell personal data to third parti on Here's Why Apple Rejected Your iOS App · · Score: 0

    You sure don't come across as someone who lives in the real world when you say absurd things like "Enjoy your open source droid made out of hemp or whatever."

    Are you sure you're not a delusional Apple fan?

  17. Re:The performance difference only matters... on PCGamingWiki Looks Into Linux Gaming With 'Port Reports' · · Score: 1

    I found this game won't play on Win 10 preview, but plays well on Windows 7. I haven't tried it on Win 8 or any Linux variant.

  19. Re:All the more reason to get an antenna. on Your Online TV Watching Can Now Be Tracked Across Devices · · Score: 2

    >For some reason, people haven't cottoned on to the fact that HD content can be received over the air with an old pair of rabbit ears or a more modern $20 antenna.

    If that's your only source of TV, you're missing all of the good channels. It's pretty rare for the best shows to be on network TV, and even in 2014, movies are still edited for television so the ignorant conservatives won't freak out at seeing or hearing anything related to sex.

  20. Re:Recognition on 'Microsoft Lumia' Will Replace the Nokia Brand · · Score: 1

    No, Windows is synonymous with both serious business and high-end gaming, so there's no viable substitute at home or in the office.

    Lumia: Recognized as nice phones with excellent cameras.

  22. >Anyone who contributes money to a Kickstarter project deserves what they get.

    An autographed poster and a download and Blu-Ray of a movie? That's what I got the only time I contributed to a kickstarter, and am happy with the deal. You might want to find a narrower brush.

  23. Re:Visible douchebag on The Great Robocoin Rip-off · · Score: 1

    Based on the emails, I get the feeling that this company couldn't afford to issue a refund. They had to find another dupe to scam, so they could pass that victim's cash to the first victim and keep the grift going.

    I try not to judge people by their appearance, but going out in public with a hair-cut that bad shows very poor judgement.
