  1. Re:Fear on Publications Divided On Self-Censorship After Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    The freedom to openly criticize a religion isn't fear-mongering, idiot. That's called freedom of speech. Would you be cool if the media and every TV network/movie studio were to ban any criticism of Jesus?

  2. Don't worry, NASA is really good at this on NASA Update Will Deal With Opportunity Flash Memory "Amnesia" · · Score: 0

    Keeping old relics and forgotten dreams alive is what they do best.

  3. Re:Fear on Publications Divided On Self-Censorship After Terrorist Attack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    We can't have freedom of speech taken away by a few extremists.

    We already have. Even before this attack, there wasn't a single mainstream publication in the U.S. or Europe that would dare publish any depiction of Mohammad, or probably even any criticism of him. These terrorists were just eliminating one of the few remaining forums that was still willing to take on Islam. This wasn't an attack in a war. They've already won that. This was just a mop-up operation.

  4. Re:Got Sloppy? on FBI: North Korean Hackers "Got Sloppy", Leaked IP Addresses · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The CIA has learned over the decades that it really doesn't matter how many times you fuck up, or how awful and short-sighted your intelligence is, or even how many international incidents you cause or stupid wars you help start. All that matters is how well you bullshit the American people. And the American people are pretty easy to bullshit.

    One minute they're telling us that they're so skilled that they MUST be state-sponsored, the next they're telling us that they're too sloppy to spoof their IP addresses. MAKE UP YOUR MIND!

    It has to be North Korea! A trusted inside source named Ahmed Chalabi told them so!

  7. Re: Nosedive on Tumblr Co-Founder: Apple's Software Is In a Nosedive · · Score: 4, Funny

    iTunes has always been a swiss army knife. If a swiss army knife were made out of rusty nails, bits of string and some pudding. By chimpanzees.

    Oh come on now, that's not fair! There is really no need to insult chimpanzees like that. They can at least use sticks to get ants out of ant mounds. And there is no way that whoever designed iTunes could manage that.

    The hell you say!!!

  9. Not to be confused with "Project Riptide" on Project Ryptide Drone Flies Life-Rings To Distressed Swimmers · · Score: 1

    Which is Perry King's attempt to pitch an "Exciting and hip sequel to the classic and beloved 80's "Riptide" TV series--starring me, Perry King!" Hopefully, this one will have more success, since "Project Riptide" mostly resulted in Perry King being banned from several studio lots and offices in L.A.

  10. Bitcoin still seems sleazy to me on Bitstamp Bitcoin Exchange Suspended Due To "Compromised Wallet" · · Score: 1

    I *want* to be open-minded to the idea. But most of these bitcoin exchanges strike me to be about as legit as that skeevy guy on the corner selling "legitimate" copies of movies (that are still in theaters) on DVD for $5

  11. Re:America... fuck yeah on WSJ Refused To Publish Lawrence Krauss' Response To "Science Proves Religion" · · Score: -1, Troll

    Hope we don't offend anyone by saying their religion and religious leaders are wrong about everything.

    Science has no place saying any such thing, any more than religion has any place commenting on science. You don't *ever* mix science (which deals with the natural world) and religion (which deals with the supernatural world). Period. End of Story. And that works *both* ways. I don't expect a scientist to argue that science supports atheism any more than I expect my priest to start bitching about Einstein's model of gravity from the pulpit.

    In this case, the WSJ should have refused to publish both the original article and the follow-up letters.

    I understand that Northrop Grumman recently acquired the patents to the Pythagorean theorem after a ruling from a federal judge in the eastern district of Texas--after promising said judge a chance to fly a B-2 bomber all by his very self and a 2-scoop ice cream cone afterwards if he was a good boy.

    I'm just wondering if anyone has actually verified that "Mr. Harsh Vardhan" isn't actually Sacha Baron Cohen in disguise.

    Well, *I* use whale oil, which burns much cleaner and with a warmer flame. But you mainstream types probably wouldn't appreciate it.

    Yeah, but if you copy vinyl onto any other medium you risk losing that warm, rich sound you get from telling other hipsters how fragrant your farts smell.

    The last time I went to see a movie, I spent considerably more for my regular movie ticket, a popcorn, and a coke than I did for a 5th-row seat on Metallica's "And Justice For All" tour 25 years ago. There is something very wrong with that (aside from the fact that Metallica has since went to shit).
