  1. Re:Don't count your chickens before they're hatche on 'Captain Marvel' Smashes Box Office Record, Laughs Off Review-Bombing Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    None of that changes the fact that it has the 6th best opening weekend of all time.

  2. Our nation has been drenched in immigrants since 1776.

  3. Re:Spreading division is profitable I guess on 'Captain Marvel' Smashes Box Office Record, Laughs Off Review-Bombing Trolls (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm the last person to complain about this agenda stuff, but I think you were missing the soundtrack. This one definitely has a tom boy, girls can do anything agenda. And that's ok.

  4. Japan has a very different culture from what we are used to in the US. They definitely act with more uniformity but no, they don't do what they're told so much as move as a unit. In Japan, industries throw everything at the wall to see what sticks, not focus on one thing.

  5. Re:Social Justice Warriors on Rich Kids Are Cheating in School With Apple Watches (theoutline.com) · · Score: 1

    This is easily one of the stupidest comments I've ever read on the Internet. What difference does it make?!?!?

  6. Re:Before and After on Trump's Tech Battle With China Roils Bill Gates Nuclear Venture (wsj.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Honestly, I'm worried more about China now that we've already built them up and now we're severing ties. It's incredibly stupid to do...not as stupid as your assumption that anyone has changed any opinion they had before Trump came along, but still very dumb.

  7. Nuclear is the only good stopgap from fossil fuels to renewable energy. Also, the waste from used solar panels and the like is far worse than what is leftover from a nuclear reactor.

  8. The big controversy around this is the ease of use, anyone can use it, even those with very little understanding of how to do what they're doing. Also, the price - under $100.

  9. Re: Never heard that one before on J.J. Abrams On "Star Wars" Cast's Racial and Sexual Diversity · · Score: 1

    It might surprise you to know he's the creation of a black man then? If he wasn't computer generated, nobody would have any problem with a black man acting in that manner.

  10. Re:Never heard that one before on J.J. Abrams On "Star Wars" Cast's Racial and Sexual Diversity · · Score: 2

    The character was mostly a creation of the actor playing him...a black man from the Bronx. If there's a way that can be made racist, someone will find it.

  11. Re:Be a scientist and look at the data on Doomsday Clock Moved Two Minutes Forward, To 23:57 · · Score: 1

    So basically, one sex was participating in the world more than another. Makes sense.

  12. Re:Why oh Why on Brought To You By the Letter R: Microsoft Acquiring Revolution Analytics · · Score: 1

    Please, elaborate...how are Microsoft any more douchebags than the company they just bought, how is R so good, and how many products that are actually good have you seen ruined by companies like Microsoft? Considering most of Microsoft's most successful products were purchases like this one...

  13. Re:Application installers suck. on How To Hijack Your Own Windows System With Bundled Downloads · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Isn't that exactly what Microsoft is now doing with the Windows Store and "modern" apps, though?

  14. Re:Got Sloppy? on FBI: North Korean Hackers "Got Sloppy", Leaked IP Addresses · · Score: 1

    Right, because you have any idea whether it can or can't be done...

  15. Re:Countless Comments on Prior Articles & Now on FBI: North Korean Hackers "Got Sloppy", Leaked IP Addresses · · Score: 2

    Perhaps you never saw Naked Gun 2 1/2? Team America? If I really felt like it, I could dig up quite a few comedies where we assassinate the living leader of a country that is considered to be the bad guy. Strangely, you think you're unique and this occasion was unique. Not going to go on about free speech but the irony is pretty intense when you consider the lack of human rights in North Korea.

  16. Re:5th Edition kind of sucks on The Making of a 1980s Dungeons & Dragons Module · · Score: 1

    Aren't the core rulebooks available as free downloads now? Kindle editions? 12 year olds today have a major advantage when it comes to gaining raw info.

  17. Re:Told you so on Early Bitcoin Adopters Facing Extortion Threats · · Score: 1

    Nothing like a little bigotry in your financial discussion, eh?!

  18. Re:OMG Jabber on The NSA Uses the Same Chat Protocol As Hackers · · Score: 1

    Agreed, Jabber is the second most popular Enterprise IM and Presence system around.

  19. Re:They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 1

    You're under the mistaken assumption that you can't unbox and play without going to the Internet. In fact, this thread is full of people who are mistaken...and arguing about a problem that doesn't even exist.

  20. Re:They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 1

    Yet it's not true, no console is relying on DRM right now. What was happening with some consoles was a half on/half off state of the service causing confusion to the game client. If they disconnected the console from their network, the games would have worked. Also, when the time comes that these services shut down, a final patch to allow all use offline is common.

    That's why UPnP, Port Triggering, and NAT-PNP exist.

  22. Re:They're assholes. on Why Lizard Squad Took Down PSN and Xbox Live On Christmas Day · · Score: 1

    Not one of these systems requires you to phone home to play a game on disk.

  23. Re:How many really make $140k ? on Developers, IT Still Racking Up (Mostly) High Salaries · · Score: 1

    It's not poverty level but $100k will leave you with very little in Washington, DC...you probably couldn't even buy a first sports car and the high cost of living means being out of work for even a few weeks could pull you under and force you out of the area.
