  1. Elop? Gil Amelio was pretty disastrous too. on Carly Is Out · · Score: 1

    Wow, her lack of charisma was her undoing, not her terrible decision-making. Can't anyone get past THAT FACE?

  2. Re:Fuck VirnetX on Patent Troll VirnetX Awarded $626M In Damages From Apple (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Why can 't we encourage psychopaths like antiabortionists to engage in violent acts against patent trolls? Let them fear for their lives.

  3. drivel - nothing will change on Senators Blast Comcast, Other Cable Firms For "Unfair Billing Practices" (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's easy for Congress members to Blast the cable industry by day, and pocket donations from the cable industry by night, accomplishing nothing towards consumer protection.

  4. Re:First grade? on K12CS.org: Microsoft, Google, Apple Identifying What 1st Graders Should Know · · Score: -1, Troll

    homeschooling proves that one doesn't respect the teaching profession, and in Indiana, usually is a sign of religious fervor antithetical to believing in science.

  5. without apps, app store profits wither on K12CS.org: Microsoft, Google, Apple Identifying What 1st Graders Should Know · · Score: 1

    hit the books, kids! better learn that C# / Swift which will probably be replaced by 4-5 different languages by the time you escape college.

    I learned BASIC at age 12. At age 20, the choices were BASIC, Cobol, and C. Total fads, 30 years later.

  6. iTunes blows chunks on Vivendi Takes Over Radionomy, Winamp Relaunch Now Possible (windowsreport.com) · · Score: 1

    I would leave iTunes in a short minute if WinAmp provided syncing capabilities to my iPhone and iPad, without all that bullshit sales and marketing gimmickry.

  7. buyer beware on Stack Overflow and the Zeitgeist of Computer Programming (priceonomics.com) · · Score: 1

    how is this any different from people self-diagnosing their problems using WebMD?

  8. weight watchers on NYT Quietly Pulls Article Blaming Encryption In Paris Attacks · · Score: 1

    The attackers may have been friends who met at Weight Watchers. Holy shit, ban Weight Watchers!
    hmm no proof of that OR of the attackers using encryption.

  9. Re:Am I the only One Who thinks ... on Democrat Drops MN State House Run After Tweeting 'ISIS Isn't Necessarily Evil' (startribune.com) · · Score: 1

    He's not wrong. Christianity (and other religions) seek to turn the meaning of Bad to Evil, because their initial survival was predicated on demonizing their enemies. ISIS commits some terrible, immoral actions -- blowing up innocent civilians for political gain -- but their goal is first to create a nation-state, before world domination. Birds of a feather will flock together.

  10. Re:$700 - That's a it steep for what it is on Dorms For Grownups: a Solution For Lonely Millennials? · · Score: 1

    I'm paying $650 for a basement apartment in Chicago with 8' ceilings [it's a hobbit hole] and all utilities included, and think it's a good deal. I've got maybe 850 square feet of living space including a private bathroom and kitchen.

    exactly

  12. everyone is a broke as motherfucker on Dorms For Grownups: a Solution For Lonely Millennials? · · Score: 2

    in the future, everyone is broke so we have to huddle together in ghettos known as dormitories

  13. Re:Sky Wizards will solve the problem! on Persian Gulf Temperatures May Be At the Edge of Human Tolerance In 30 Years (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It's not desolation if it's a humid jungle, teeming with snakes. And apples!

  14. Until the religions of the world accept that women are equal to men, a pox on all religion. Christianity and Judaism are merely a few hundred years progressed from Islam's burkas and hijabs. Thankfully the West has mostly embraced the notion that women should have the right to vote, and go to school, and drive -- but this is still a rarity in the Middle East.

  15. But won't this turn arid regions like Afghanistan into the world's breadbasket?

    a fucking stupid idea. ALGEBRA is the same whether you're in god-fearing texas or godless new hampshire.

  20. States Rights' are to blame on Study: Standardized Tests Overwhelming Public Schools (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    We need high national standards for academic achievement. State's rights, and allowing states to create their own measurements of academic success, are detrimental because they add a bunch more bullshit tests, where students are scolded to memorize facts rather than using that teaching time for helping students to think for themselves. States' rights, like the slavery they preserved, belong in history books.

  21. Ancient Aliens? on Mysteriously Variable Star Causes Speculation About Dyson Sphere (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    When there is no scientific evidence to back up one's wacky and complex idea, we should consider simpler and more plausible explanations (occam's razor)

  22. Re:Lego house? on "E-mailable" House Snaps Together Without Nails (clemson.edu) · · Score: 1

    No, but after the [tornado / hurricane / monsoon / forest fire / mudslide / earthquake], use snap-together housing to keep the victims of natural disasters indoors. After watching the FEMA-funded disasters built near my hometown in Indiana and shipped to the victims of Hurricane Katrina, we could probably benefit from simple designs for temporary shelters.

  23. amazing how many of you guys would prefer to live in a world filled with shitty assholes, treating everyone like a jerk. polite doesn't necessarily mean backstabber, and strength doesn't come from being rude -- it's just a sign of embracing your inner moron. you guys disgust me. in a world filled with hate and violence, it's nice and refreshing to work in a "professional" environment where people aren't utter dicks all the time, when people of various genders and ethnic backgrounds get along with each other. there's this prickish selfishness i find among you, where everything is a goddamned pissing contest. knock it off already. it doesn't hurt you to be civil to one another -- that's the real sign of strength, bros.

  24. Re:there is only one on Carly Fiorina: I Supplied HP Servers For NSA Snooping · · Score: 1

    The biggest problems for Trump and Sanders is that the RNC and DNC have committed state governors who run the untrustworthy voting machines, and who are likely to engage in the kind of manipulation that prevents us from getting an accurate and true count of who really got the votes.

    Yes, the NSA does not run torture camps like Gitmo or the outsourcing facilities the CIA has used throughout eastern Europe and Israel.
