  1. What a shit article on What Source 2 Means For Valve's ESports · · Score: 1

    Seriously.. "Particle physics is like dots and stuff"

  2. Hideous right to human rights on France Claims Right To Censor Search Results Globally · · Score: 1

    Just shows the state of the US when they hate human liberty unless its by the gun.

  3. Re: Cool for ShaderToy on AMD Radeon Fury and Fury X Specs Leaked, HBM-Powered Graphics On the Way · · Score: 1

    Who said 4k?

  4. Re:Cool for ShaderToy on AMD Radeon Fury and Fury X Specs Leaked, HBM-Powered Graphics On the Way · · Score: 1

    Already can with my GTX 980

  5. What happens? on Ask Slashdot: What Happens If We Perfect Age Reversing? · · Score: 1

    Cancer... thats what happens.

  6. What a load of chuff on The Decline of Pixel Art · · Score: 1

    Pixel art games are more popular now than they have been since the 1980's.

  7. This old chestnut on Ask Slashdot: What's the Future of Desktop Applications? · · Score: 1

    Anyone who asks this question (again) really has no clue about what desktop applications are beyond word processors and spreadsheets.

  8. Ubuntu first my arse... on Ubuntu May Beat Windows 10 To Phone-PC Convergence After All · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just sit at the back of the class and just listen while real companies launch mobile OSs

  9. NASA didn't invent it anyway. on No, NASA Did Not Accidentally Invent Warp Drive · · Score: 1

    It was a British aerospace engineer Roger Shawyer, who founded the company Satellite Propulsion Research Ltd (SPR) (UK) in the year 2000 to develop his invention (wikipedia) But you know, whatever keeps the US relevant.

  10. Re:Can we use this? on Wormholes Untangle a Black Hole Paradox · · Score: 1

    "Even if this doesn't give us faster-than-light communications"
    You acknowledge communications are impossible using QE pairs (which is correct as passing information via entangled particles is not possible)

    "Imagine a submarine with one of a pair of particles in a transmitter. Wiggle (bounce, or whatever) that particle and watch its partner on land. You now have a comm link"
    Then you go on to contradict yourself by discussing communications using QE particles, which is not possible.

    It's also *not* proving a negative as there is no proof of absence involved here.

  11. Re:Can we use this? on Wormholes Untangle a Black Hole Paradox · · Score: 1

    I think you missed the whole meaning of "can't be used to send information". You acknowledge this at the start and then decide to ignore it at the end.

  12. Tells you what we already know on Chess Grandmaster Used iPhone To Cheat During Tournament · · Score: 0

    about iDevice users

  13. Wankfest on Report: Apple Watch Preorders Almost 1 Million On First Day In the US · · Score: 1

    Let the latest round of wanking begin

  14. I know how this goes... on NASA-ESA Project Will Shoot an Asteroid To See What Happens · · Score: 0

    NASA and ESA plan a project together... NASA then pulls out due to "funding cutbacks" leaving ESA in the shit and then does a u-turn and decides to do it alone

  15. Re: Just what the Moon always wanted on NASA's ARM Will Take a Boulder From an Asteroid and Put It In Lunar Orbit · · Score: 1

    There is no strict definition, but the most commonly used one is: A moon is never the larger mass and the larger mass has to be a planet.

  16. Just normal. on Why Is the Grand Theft Auto CEO Also Chairman of the ESRB? · · Score: 1

    isn't that how the corruption in America works?

  17. Re:Sacred Geometry in action on Strange Stars Pulse To the Golden Mean · · Score: 1

    No, nature is following physics and mathematics not sacred geometry. Sacred geometry is only a construct of the human brain. Nothing more, nothing less. It's ok, I'll assume you've not had your lithium yet. ;)

  18. Re:Sacred Geometry in action on Strange Stars Pulse To the Golden Mean · · Score: 1

    Explain what exactly? Why natural selection took a certain specific path that represents the Fibonacci sequence? I'm sure you can Google that for yourself.

  19. Re:Another FPS on Another Upscaled Console Game: Battlefield Hardline · · Score: 1

    So play other games... whats the problem here?

  20. Re:Does Android 5.1 fix 5.0.2? on Google Announces Android 5.1 · · Score: 1

    What a drama queen. I think you know that later versions of an OS do intend to fix problems of earlier versions. I'd also guess you know that Google are not going to go out of the way to help you to install older versions of an OS more than providing images.

  21. Re:I only know that we know nothing on The Milky Way May Be 50 Percent Bigger Than Previously Thought · · Score: 1

    It's less about knowing, it's just that we've changed that labelling to consider those stars part of our galaxy. Just like we didn't suddenly discover Pluto just because it was relabelled as a minor-planet

  22. Re:Sacred Geometry in action on Strange Stars Pulse To the Golden Mean · · Score: 1

    Nature follows the rules of mathematics.. NOT sacred geometry.

  23. Re:Why uTorrent? on uTorrent Quietly Installs Cryptocurrency Miner · · Score: 1

    as is iObit's software that has frequent updates that force you to download and install from scratch each time.. while you carefully look for opt outs each time.

  24. Re:Privileged Access on EU Free Data Roaming, Net Neutrality Plans In Jeopardy · · Score: 1

    Because to wont stay regular and privileged for long.. They will move the goalposts to poor and regular... but we'll still pay the premium for the upper tier. We ALL lose.

  25. Re:Just a thought... on Astronomers Find an Old-Looking Galaxy In the Early Universe · · Score: 1

    Yes.. but an explosion has a center and expands into something.. Both of which don't exist for the big bang.
