  1. Re:PerkinElmer on Hubble Turns 25 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Screwing up is one thing, hiding it and letting NASA launch it into space... well... that's a whole different thing.

  2. PerkinElmer on Hubble Turns 25 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Why on Earth is PerkinElmer still in business after knowingly messing up the mirror? They only had to pay $25 million for their "mistake". How much did all the investigation, training, preparation and the actual flight to Hubble cost the tax payers?

  3. Nice to know... on Comcast Officially Gives Up On TWC Merger · · Score: 1

    It's nice to know that money can't always buy government representatives all the time.

  4. Re:Butt jokes! on Virtual Telescope Readied To Image Black Hole's 'Ring of Fire' · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Anons should not be aloud to post until at least 10 registered users have commented.

  5. Re:Of course he is... on McConnell Introduces Bill To Extend NSA Surveillance · · Score: 0

    Because no Democrats ... or even Obama himself have voted for the Patriot Act. Get over yourself, liberal. They are all bad.

    You're kind of an ass. Not that there's anything wrong with that.

  7. privacy :{ on Microsoft Announces Device Guard For Windows 10 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    "Windows makes a determination on whether that app is trustworthy, and notifies the user if it is not."

    So, basically, everything you install will be logged and checked by Microsoft servers. I turn these features off in my browsers, I wonder if I can turn them off in Windows 10 (without being constantly annoyed by the Security Center).

  8. Do not avert your eyes.... on German Court Rules Adblock Plus Is Legal · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ad companies would love to make it illegal for you to get up and go to the bathroom while commercials play. The technology is already here that will tell our televisions when we look away. Just think of the possibilities for advertisers if they could get that data.

  9. Re:ISIS on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    "You're a tard" is not equal to "threats of violence or tweets promoting violence". On a side note, most people called a "tard" probably exhibit some forms of mental retardation.

  10. ISIS on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 2

    ISIS ruins everything. Terrorists are why we can't have nice things.

  11. Google's Adsense breaks mobile responsiveness on 'Mobilegeddon': Google To Punish Mobile-Hostile Sites Starting Today · · Score: 1

    Here is my issue with this. If you have a Google "webmaster" account, you've probably seen the "mobile friendly" reports. Everything on my site gets a good grade except... wait for it.... Google's Adsense and Maps JavaScript. It penalizes me for having "content blocking" JavaScript. It's their script. I can not load it "deferred" because it's on a different domain. I could dynamically load it but Google's TOS is very vague as to whether or not this is OK.

  12. Re:Poor people are like kryptonite to rich people. on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 1

    That's mostly due to poor people's unwillingness or inability to maintain their property. No one want to live next door to a house that's falling apart or a weed riddled lawn that's spreading weeds and mole crickets to its neighbors.

  13. Re:A big fuck you on George Lucas Building Low-Income Housing Next Door To Millionaires · · Score: 2

    You sound like an awesome neighbor. You are the reason Covenants exist.

    "1000x Internets to him" Only a 12 year old with no friends would post that.

  15. Pit Bull on FBI Accuses Researcher of Hacking Plane, Seizes Equipment · · Score: 2

    I have as much sympathy for someone who messes with the FBI as I have for someone who messes with a pack of pit bulls. Yes, the pit bulls shouldn't eat people but....

  16. Re:Black and White? on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 1

    There is nothing wrong with it. But people have politicized race so much it will never happen.

  17. Re:Hurrah for sex-segregation! on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 5, Funny

    So, I can start a Whites only basketball camp as long as I also start a Blacks only hockey camp?

  18. Re:Girls Who Code on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 1

    I envision a system where services don't have to start if they don't feel like it.

  19. Black and White? on LAUSD OKs Girls-Only STEM School, Plans Boys-Only English Language Arts School · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Whenever I read something about girls-only or boys-only, I like to replace the gender designations with race designations: "Citing statistics that showed a whopping 46 more Whites than Blacks passed the AP Computer Science Exam in 2011-12, the 640,000+ student Los Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) on Tuesday approved a waiver to enable the District to operate a single-race, all-Black STEM School called the Black Academic Leadership Academy (BALA)." ... even more interesting if you switch the races around...

    You are obviously trolling but.... Capitalism allows business owners and leaders to CHOOSE to make decisions like this. Socialism forces them to do it. Liberals don't really understand the importance of this distinction.

  22. Re:Students + Anonimity = some false accusations on Can Online Reporting System Help Prevent Sexual Assaults On Campus? · · Score: 1

    Have you ever reported something stolen to the police.... they treat you like you're a criminal. It's what they do... in EVERY crime, not just rapes. They first blame you. I'd hate to have my wife go missing... the media and the police would automatically assume I had something to do with it.

  23. Re:Students + Anonimity on Can Online Reporting System Help Prevent Sexual Assaults On Campus? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Those anonymous "details" are accusations. A system like this will be used to intentionally harm people.

  24. Students + Anonimity on Can Online Reporting System Help Prevent Sexual Assaults On Campus? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This will end very badly. Some students will use this as an attack and/or revenge tool against people they don't like. Anonymity plus rape accusations will equal lawsuits and destroyed lives.
