  1. An exploitable back hole?! Why don't we start sending probes into it and find out where it goes?

  2. Tried to get it 2 days ago. on Privacy-Centric Linux Distro Tails Hits 2.0 Release · · Score: 1

    I tried to install it through my junker ubuntu laptop but the repository location got a 404 error and then I lost motivation to find out why.

    Actually, this isn't even a new marketing technique. The old adage still stands : there is no such thing as bad publicity.

    This is not someone who actually believes what he is shit posting. B.o.B was relatively unknown in mainstream media, that is until he started posting crackpot memes and videos on twitter. Now he is a trending topic. Do you see how this works? Tila Tequila did the EXACT SAME THING last week. She fucking trolled all of her followers, and her name climbed up the trending list. It gets you publicity to do and say outlandish things. This is the new marketing.

    Roger that. If I had the know how, I would just roll my own.

  9. Drop it. on Firefox 44 Arrives With Push Notifications (mozilla.org) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    If you haven't already, rather than messing around with settings and installing extensions, just drop it. Uninstall and don't look back. There are other browsers.

  10. All he did was film paint drying. The censors did what they get paid to do, and went about their daily business.

  11. An article built for the troll. on Why 6 Republican Senators Think You Don't Need Faster Broadband (cio.com) · · Score: 1

    This summary was beautifully designed to attract slashtrolls.

  12. They haven't really gotten better at it. on Hollywood Turning Against Digital Effects (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    You can see a stark difference in all movies that use CGI, and that ruins the movie because the difference is so jarring. A perfect recent example is the bear fight in The Revenant. It looks like a scene from a Far Cry game, the motion blur is so strong, the animation is obvious, and the edges are so well defined that you feel like you're watching someone play a videogame on the same screen.

  13. He is a living, breathing male. He is saving the ones he likes.

  14. Beyond my understanding. on The Trouble With Intel's Management Engine (hackaday.com) · · Score: 1

    This kind of stuff really gets the wheels turning in my head, but unfortunately the hamsters in those wheels are on the verge of death.

  19. Evolution takes time. on Ashley Madison Blackmail Letter Revealed (grahamcluley.com) · · Score: 1

    We are still rather feral when it comes to sex. The basic biological response to sexual attractiveness occurs in all humans equipped with working sex organs. There are people who are able to suppress the mental urge to seek a mate, but the physical response is still there. Only about 3 percent of mammals are monogamous. Most great apes are promiscuous. As humans, we have to wrestle with our vestigial urge to fuck and be fucked, with the societal contradiction that sex is bad and should never be talked about openly while being force fed overtly sexualized media and marketing material.

  20. I get it, but it's stupid. on Apple, Samsung, and Sony Face Child Labor Claims (amnestyusa.org) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They have to be accountable for the actions of a 3rd party? I understand sourcing responsible materials is ethically and morally sound, but there has to be a point at which the blame is on the supplier and not the buyer....right?
