  1. Re:Haven't noticed a thing... on Linode Under DDoS Since Christmas (linode.com) · · Score: 2

    Mine too, mine's in Tokyo, one of the few regions that haven't been hit.

  2. Re:Why is this news? on ProxyBack Malware Turns Infected Computers into Internet Proxies (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    What's the difference?

  3. Here's an idea... on Dutch City To Experiment With Paying Citizens a "Basic Income" (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    if they all have to do something in return for welfare we just don't have the people to see to that. It costs too much.

    How about if they have to be the people who see to that. Seems obvious to me.

    Openly? Hardly. No sir, you have somehow accidentally stumbled upon the russian darkwebs.

  5. Re:I'm all for returning cultural artifacts. on Nicolas Cage To Return Rare Stolen Dinosaur Skull To Mongolia (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like how the moon rocks are part of our cultural heritage because we went there and got them. It's not required that we be present at time the rocks were formed.

  6. The filesystem so fast... on ZFS Replication To the Cloud Is Finally Here and It's Fast (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    It will make you kill your wife

  7. Re:Oh shut up already on Should a Mars Colony Be Independent? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    People living on Mars is one of NASA's goals, but it starts with the rovers.

  8. Re:excess strain on CA grid on Musk, Others Want Volkswagen To Go Electric Instead of Fixing Diesels (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Who is "we", and what are we throwing into non-renewables? Last I heard, every major power signed off on a new green initiative.

  9. Re:wine on Wine 1.8 Released (winehq.org) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    It's like how emulating a douchebag doesn't make you an emulator. But it does make you a douchebag.

  10. Re:Oh shut up already on Should a Mars Colony Be Independent? (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    How about putting robots on Mars that stay there and run science experiments forever? How is that not way better than putting a man on the moon again?

  11. Re:excess strain on CA grid on Musk, Others Want Volkswagen To Go Electric Instead of Fixing Diesels (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    The idea is to get everybody into a ZEV and sell them a Powerwall to charge it. Save the planet, and then retire on Mars.

  12. Re:Energy density is not all that matters on Sony Creating Sulfur-Based Batteries With 40% More Capacity Than Li-Ion (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Part of it is taxes, Germans pay 35 cents per kwh and the extra money goes to fund green power projects. It's probably irresponsible to sell power for 7 cents because that encourages people to use as much as they want. I think you can expect those prices to go up in the future.

  13. Re:Energy density is not all that matters on Sony Creating Sulfur-Based Batteries With 40% More Capacity Than Li-Ion (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    That sounds about right but keep in mind that Texas has cheap power. Much of the world pays 2x-3x what you pay per kwh. Texas should really raise those prices to encourage people to move to solar. But then again I imagine nobody in charge over there believes in climate change.

  14. Re:Karma! It IS a bitch! on "Most Hated Man In America" Martin Shkreli Arrested On Suspicion of Fraud (ibtimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    You're thinking of instant karma. Regular karma means he's going to reincarnate as a cockroach.

  15. Re:Following Data Leak, HIV Dating App's Developer on Following Data Leak, HIV Dating App's Developers Threaten Infection (csoonline.com) · · Score: 0

    Yes but apparently the HIV patients are also banding together to revenge-infect entire families, which is a cause for concern.

  16. Re:Trading on tragedy on Following Data Leak, HIV Dating App's Developers Threaten Infection (csoonline.com) · · Score: 1

    Wait, is "Shear Ignorance" the name of a hair salon for HIV people? Now I'm confused.

  17. Re:Stupid on Mars Colonies and Class Warfare (examiner.com) · · Score: 1

    No matter how bad things get here, it'll still be way easier to survive here (much less "live the good life") than on Mars.

    That depends on a lot of factors. My own personal chance of surviving the next 50 years on Earth are about the same as surviving them on Mars.

  18. Re:Not the most misunderstood on Galloping Gertie, Engineering's Most Misunderstood Failure (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Before going there you should ask yourself: Do I really want to go there?

  19. Re:Erh... folks? You're going the wrong way. on Church of the Flying Spaghetti Monster Now Can Perform Marriages In New Zealand (stuff.co.nz) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is how all major religions come to be. Eventually, everybody just forgets that it was a joke.

    So a little graffiti and it's world war III for you. Overreact much?

    If you were to switch, and that happened, you could just switch back. You're not committed for life, dude, so what's the big deal?

  23. It's good to have options on HHVM Beats Stable Version of PHP 7.0 In Recent Benchmark (kinsta.com) · · Score: 1

    A faster Wordpress runtime sounds great, but realistically, people generally stack benchmarks to prove what they wanted to prove in the first place.

  24. Re:Lots of assumptions on Simulation Pinpoints the Most Likely Spots For Life In the Milky Way (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    So we should assume that most life will be non-carbon-based? How does that make more sense?

  25. Re:And who decides what speach is incorrect? on Hillary Clinton Urges Silicon Valley To 'Disrupt' ISIS · · Score: 1

    Surely we can't trust someone who directly profited from the repeal of the Glass-Steagall Act

    So we're looking for someone who didn't have a stock portfolio in the 90s? Good luck with that. At least she's on the right side of Citizens United.
