  1. That's why date-rape drugs are so cool...bitches never say no!

  2. Re:cellphones are bad enough on Google Working On Wireless Charging For Self-Driving Cars (inhabitat.com) · · Score: 1

    I think the Tesla "snake" charger is a lot closer to the ideal. Even if it is a bit overwrought, it still must be cheaper than repaving road surface for every installation.

  3. Trigger warning! on Elon Musk Cancels Stewart Alsop's Tesla Order Over Complaints About Launch Event · · Score: 1

    Is this a follow-on to the John Cleese/Political Correctness article? It does provide examples of hyper-sensitive arseholes...

    Also, is this supposed to change anybody's buying habits or , well, anything?

  4. Re:Best way to stop these criminals on AnonSec Attempts To Crash $222m Drone, Releases Secret Flight Videos (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    a bunch of immature losers living in their parents' basements

    Yeah, that pretty much says "terrorist" to me.

  5. Re:the first time is tragedy, on Big Satellite Systems, Simulated On Your Desktop (sf.net) · · Score: 1

    I didn't really have that much trouble with the summary - though the Marx quote was sort of off-the-wall. Honestly, though, I enjoyed reading your complaint way more than I did reading the summary. You should really post non-anonymously (inanonamously?) so your post would rate up-modding.

  6. Re:Well, they didn't lie... on Microsoft Edge's Private Browsing Mode Isn't Actually Private (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    The flammable/inflammable controversy will go away soon since neither is included in the up-goer list of the ten-hundred most commonly-used words.

  7. Re:Timothy!!! on Elon Musk To Unveil Mars Spacecraft Later This Year, For 2025 Flight (foxnews.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    There are new editors. They've eaten Timmay and are submitting stories under his account.

  8. Re:Because that would be unimaginable CENSORSHIP? on Why Does Twitter Refuse To Shut Down Donald Trump? (vortex.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm really confused. Which term of service was violated and by which tweet(s)? This whole story seems to just be trolling for clicks (shocking!).

  9. Re: TIMMAY!!!!!! on In Memoriam: VGA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    Because white-on-black imprints on my eyes and if I look away - or even just change the angle-of-view - the effect is nauseating. As far as I can tell, the only advantage of light-on-dark is that it looks cool to 12 year old gamer-boyz.

  10. Re:Teaching programming is cheap on Obama Calls For $4B 'Computer Science For All' Program For K-12 Schools (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    It sure smells like an effort (driven by huge tech corporations) to depress tech wages. This isn't about increasing tech competitiveness through computer science education, it's about cloning code-monkeys by the millions.

    Besides, how about the feds just stay the hell out of education?

  11. Re:TIMMAY!!!!!! on In Memoriam: VGA (hackaday.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    I don't read hackaday but, from this brief exposure, I can tell they're asshats.
    1. They think cheap, reliable, widely-supported hardware is going away because all computer users are "design conscious."
    2. They use white text on a black background.

    Also, when my CHIP arrives, it'll have a VGA adapter.

  12. Re:About BIZX on Slashdot and SourceForge Sold, Now Under New Management (bizx.info) · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, the 'design' of those sites won't affect /. since they don't have user-contributed content.

    The user-contributed content is, to me, what make makes slashdot great. If I were BIZX, I'd look for ways to get the users more involved in priming the firehose. If there are decent articles/summaries, the comments section will take care of the rest.

  13. Re:Another misinformed article on Israel's Electric Grid Targeted By Malware, Energy Minister Says (timesofisrael.com) · · Score: 1

    Present company excepted.

    we start the count at 1, IE 2001. 1-2000, 2001-3000 etc.

  15. Re:Not at all on An Ancient, Brutal Massacre May Be the Earliest Evidence of War · · Score: 1

    Wow, that sounds like it was just made up on the spot!

  16. Re:And the bad news? on Russia Forming Space Alliance With Iran, May Fly Iranian Astronaut (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    No problem. Trump is going to build a wall around the ISS and make the Iranians pay for it.

  17. Only if you're well-medicated. It's hard (especially these days) to make a compelling story without car crashes or vampires (maybe vampire EMTs?) but you use colorful language and that helps a lot. Maybe pound out a chapter or two and see how it feels?

  18. It's great to read posts by and about technologists with character, humor, intelligence and mettle. I hope your example isn't lost on those following in your footsteps.

  19. Why in the world would somebody write a trojan to build a collection of neckbeard headshots? That's just sick!

  20. Re:FWP on Help Is On the Way In the War Against Noisy Leaf Blowers · · Score: 1

    Well, we have these big, beautiful yards with trees and grass and hills and gardens. It's quite a lot to do with a rake.

  21. You're right...and the chip-and-sign cards have nothing to do with security. It is just the banks shifting liability for fraud away from themselves and onto retailers.

  22. Re:A good start on NASA Forms New Planetary Defense Office To Manage Asteroid Threats (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Another obvious application for manned space flight!

  23. Re:Nonsense on Are Phone Numbers Doomed To Die? (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't read the article because I couldn't remember Fortune's IP address.

    "Identity Theft Resource Center"? It's a cookbook!

  25. Re:Thanks for the warning on Free State Project 93% Towards Goal (freestateproject.org) · · Score: 1

    I wouldn't worry about it. Gerrymandering will dilute their voting block. I don't see any real threat, anyway. They are not trying to shove anything down anybody's throat. They just don't want their choices unnecessarily limited by the sensitivities of less tolerant folks.
