    the hot air coming from that gasbag would send the asteroid into a different direction

  7. marriage was a disaster for me on Psychologist: Porn and Video Game Addiction Are Leading To 'Masculinity Crisis' · · Score: 1

    Thanks to my marriage, I'm on the hook for 20 years of giving up 20% of my paycheck. Although I love my daughter, every single other aspect of my marriage destroyed me -- loss of income means living in a basement apartment with little sunlight but centipedes and poor heating because that's all I could afford. I was an emotional wreck for a year. My wife didn't love me, and attempting to find a girlfriend since then has been fruitless -- the women I meet who are willing to date me are hardly the cream of the crop. I'm better off watching porn than seeking the admiration of women who themselves seek the money I don't have.

  8. Re:Oracle is a better fit on Report: Microsoft Considering Salesforce Acquisition · · Score: 1

    Salesforce was built on top of Oracle.

  10. Re:No flaw. on Tattoos Found To Interfere With Apple Watch Sensors · · Score: 1

    yes but not the bank's CEO. that's the difference between the have-nots and the haves.

  11. Re:What is the obsession with tattoos... on Tattoos Found To Interfere With Apple Watch Sensors · · Score: 1

    In some cultures, tattoos and body modifications are considered an assault on god's temple (your body). Although it's an instinct with me, more than learned behavior, I subconsciously wonder why people with tattoos hate themselves so much they cover their body with writing (or puncture wounds, or metal placed in private places). You can express your individuality in a number of ways, why do it to your body in such an irreversible manner?

  12. Re:I think our namespace is getting too crowded... on Internet Explorer's Successor, Project Spartan, Is Called Microsoft Edge · · Score: 1

    Microsoft Labia has a nice ring to it.

  13. sounds like a phone on Internet Explorer's Successor, Project Spartan, Is Called Microsoft Edge · · Score: 1

  14. Re:Why? on Windows 10 Can Run Reworked Android and iOS Apps · · Score: 1

    You've obviously never used Korg Gadget on an iPad. This app SCREAMS to be run on a system with more horsepower and a bigger screen.

  15. Computers the size of a grain of SAND on We'll Be the Last PC Company Standing, Acer CEO Says · · Score: 1

    The personal computer will not be around in 50 years. With computers getting smaller, and nanotech on the rise, our needs will adapt to fit the advances of science and technology.

    SAMSUNG. my samsung laptop is pretty decent, bought it for a song, completely shitworthy support, but hey it runs windows 8.x

  17. Re:Dell, HP, Panasonic on We'll Be the Last PC Company Standing, Acer CEO Says · · Score: 1

    Apple stopped being a computer company with the success of the iPod, then iPhone, then iPad. They're a technology devices company whose products are geared at consumers, not a computing company focused on particular industries as they were in the 1990's (publishing, audio, video). Mac sales numbers are a footnote to the money they're printing with iPhones, and the Apple watch is just a fresh way to get their BRAND recognition on the street (since you keep your iPhone in your pocket or your purse). It doesn't matter how many Apple watches sell -- they're just more income for the Apple behemoth.

  18. 10+ years of OSX and still no virus outbreaks on Researcher Discloses Methods For Bypassing All OS X Security Protections · · Score: 1

    this guy's theoretical hack is still not practical, probable, or verified in meatspace. It's vaporware.

  19. Re:Traitor Gen. [B]etraeus Walks on Gen. Petraeus To Be Sentenced To Two Years Probation and Fine · · Score: 1

    Apparently Attorney General Holder has never heard of a PLANK on a Ship at Sea, where there are Sharks with fucking laser beams. So General Petraeus' walk will be a long one.

  20. General Petraeus = Traitor on Gen. Petraeus To Be Sentenced To Two Years Probation and Fine · · Score: 1

    And traitors of the Bush White House Occupancy are supposed to be handed stiff bonuses, not flabby penalties

  21. Re:Would you kindly cut out the political crap? on Music Industry Argues Works Entering Public Domain Are Not In Public Interest · · Score: 1

    politics are an important part of the environment but you're correct: attempts to boil this debate down to conservative vs liberal is (figuratively) us eating the red herring. truth of the matter is all politicians seek the backing of wealthy donors / special interest groups including the RIAA, because indie artists who aren't part of corporate rock / corporate greed aren't big political donors. laws will not be made in favor of the people.

  22. Home Music is Killing Taping (uh, downloads) on Music Industry Argues Works Entering Public Domain Are Not In Public Interest · · Score: 1

    I don't teach myself guitar for many songs written by other artists. I'm far more interested in creating my own content, thankyouverymuch.

  23. Stalin Remixed his cabinet on Yahoo Called Its Layoffs a "Remix." Don't Do That. · · Score: 1

    and now the photos only show 2 members instead of 10

  24. don't blame Snowden on UK Police Chief: Some Tech Companies Are 'Friendly To Terrorists' · · Score: 1

    Snowden was the canary in the coalmine. He's not the only one who recognized that governments are abusing their power; he's just the poster boy.

  25. Regulation PRESERVES free markets on Japan Looks To Distributed Control Theory To Manage Energy Market Deregulation · · Score: 2

    Regulation helps to keep markets free and open by preventing abuse of the system. Your libertarian lies are worthless here.
