  1. Just make this practice illegal and the problem fixes itself.

    Sure glad rape and murder only happened before they were made illegal.

    So much false logic here it's making my brain sad.

  2. ...when companies are allowed to bribe you for good reviews. Just make this practice illegal and the problem fixes itself.

  3. Nintendo's current business strategy on Nintendo To ROM Sites: Forget Cease-and-Desist, Now We're Suing (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    1. Sue websites for hosting 30 year old games
    2. Anger customers
    3. ???
    4. Profit!!!

  4. How about, no, Sony. on Mobile Photography Set For Major Quality Bump With Sony's 48-Megapixel Sensor (newatlas.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Instead of cramming an ass-million pixels into your camera sensor, why don't you make a lens and sensor big enough to actually let in some light so I don't have to spend a fortune on a phone just so I can take a halfway decent night shot? Yeesh.

  5. Please. Go back to your home planet.

  6. Communism on Cuba Starts Rolling Out Internet on Mobile Phones (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    In Soviet Cuba, phone connects to you...wait. Nevermind.

  7. Re:Intolerance on TSA Screeners Win Immunity From Abuse Claims, Court Rules (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    So the left thinks that, because they are slightly more tolerant than the right (which is highly debatable, btw), they can go running around acting like their crap doesn't stink and believing that everyone who doesn't agree with them is automatically a bigoted racist? How'd that work out in the last presidential election?

    The thing I find amazing is that, even though the left's high-and-mighty attitude toward others got DONALD FREAKING TRUMP elected, they still continue to have this same ridiculous attitude. You want Trump for another term? Keep it up.

  8. As a side effect, it'll probably go from opening in about .3 milliseconds to 15 seconds.

  9. What if I told you on What if People Were Paid For Their Data? (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    there is no spoon.

  10. More newsworthy on Hackers Steal Personal Information of 21 Million Timehop Users (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    is the fact that a stupid app like Timehop has 21 million freaking users! There is no hope for this planet.

  11. Re:Trump will die in Federal Prison on High-Power Thermoelectric Generator Utilizes Thermal Difference of Only 5C (newelectronics.co.uk) · · Score: -1, Troll

    You don't want Trump to die. You want Trump to live a long, healthy life, completely and totally discredited and disgraced, and never forgotten as the liar, cheat, and villian that he is. You want him to be a constant reminder to everyone of all the evil selfish destructive things he's done, and be punished for it until his last breath is drawn, and then only when he's died of purely natural causes and is put in the ground (face down, preferably), forever immortalized in the history books as the worst president the United States has ever had, an example to all future candidates of what not to be when you're sitting in the Oval Office, and a warning to future generations of the GOP.

    Somewhat amazingly, Trump Derangement Syndrome seems to be a real thing. Seeing these types of posts basically proves it.

  12. Re:Party like it's 1776... on Facebook Apologizes After Flagging Declaration of Independence As Hate Speech (nymag.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They do care...they care enough to bitch and moan constantly AFTER the election, they just can't be bothered to get off their couch and do something about it on election day.

  13. Obligatory on UK Banks Told To Reveal Tech Meltdown Plans (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

  14. Stop listening to me! on Amazon Wants You To Turn Your Fire Tablet Into a Portable Echo (cnbc.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Seriously, stop it. I don't want or need my electronics to be constantly listening to what I'm saying.

  15. Re:There's only two reasons you'd patent this: on Facebook Patent Imagines Triggering Your Phone's Mic When a Hidden Signal Plays on TV (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    LOL! I really wish I had mod points right now.

  16. Boy, I sure wish the industry I work in could just randomly tack on a bogus fee to everyone's bills without any oversight whatsoever. "Had a bad month? No problem! We'll just raise our EOA (eat our asses) fee $1 for every customer. BOOM!!...REVENUE!!!"

  17. Re:Poor choice of headline on Shots Fired Again Between CPU Vendors AMD and Intel (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    We've had more than a couple reports of people actually being shot at work lately; this headline was in poor taste. When I see a headline here that starts with "shots fired" I expect it's likely to be followed with a body count.

    This entire post could've been replaced with, "Teh gunz!!! Oh noes!!!!"

    I have two 60 year old piezoelectric speakers and they are awesome.

    Needless to say, your comment does nothing to help. People with ear buds or beats headphones seem typical these days. This ain't hurting them.

    Your mom.

    Are you on psychotropic drugs or something? Seriously, what does this drivel have to do with anything?

  19. Re:If you have good speakers it's always Laurel. on 'Yanny vs. Laurel' Reveals Flaws In How We Listen To Audio (theproaudiofiles.com) · · Score: 1

    Umm, no. This has everything to do with computer synthesized speech and a whole host of complicated ways our brains interpret language, and practically nothing to do with the speakers themselves. And yet this is modded information, ugh.

  20. Everything that's wrong with U.S. politics on Senate Votes To Save Net Neutrality (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This should not have been a vote across party lines! This vote, and others like it, just prove that congress-critters couldn't give a flying f#ck about the people they're mean to represent.

  21. False on 'Bird Scooters Are Ruining Venice' (latimes.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's not the scooters that are ruining Venice, it's the idiots that live in Venice that are ruining Venice. This generally applies to most of southern CA as well.

    There are plenty of reasons to silence people without fearing them.

    Sure there are: fascism, bullying, stupidity, arrogance, you don't like what they have to say, etc.

    People like you make the world a worse place and you suck.
