  1. ...and enhance! on Hubble Witnesses Mysterious Breakup of Asteroid · · Score: 4, Funny

    > - - - - - `( ).

    Player 1 SCORE: 150

  2. "Corrections" on The Science of Solitary Confinement · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This is what happens when you have a society that is more interested in punishing people than reforming. It's as if to say "We don't believe you'll ever change, or are capable of changing so we're going to crush you instead." All you have to do is read a forum on any news story relating to a crime to get a realistic view on how people view "corrections" should be carried out.... and we call other countries barbaric.

  3. The hand that blinds us. on Amputee Has Prosthetic Hand Wired To Nerves · · Score: 4, Funny

    Doctors found that male patients, if left alone in their bathrooms, achieved 100% efficiency in under an hour.

  5. Re:A symbiotic relationship on Edward Snowden Says NSA Engages In Industrial Espionage · · Score: 0

    What?! I'm not allowed to own a rail gun? This is clearly an infringement on the 2nd amendment! What's next, not allowing citizens to own pieces of artillery!?

  6. Re:Wow you guys are tards. on Ancient Pompeii Diet Consisted of Giraffe and Other "Exotic'" Delicacies · · Score: 1

    You will have to forgive my lack of intelligence on the matter, but what are "ners" and how do they relate to the intelligent narrative of the world and its history? Please explain with gadgetry references so that my feeble mind can grasp this child like concept.

  7. Hey! I'mma let you buy in a minute, but... on There's Kanye West-Themed Crypto-Currency On the Way · · Score: 2

    Will this currency constantly over value itself?

  8. Re:Correct! on USA Today Names Edward Snowden Tech Person of the Year · · Score: 1

    Maybe just as repugnant but also *safely* half a world away... It would be like a magazine in the U.K. declaring Hitler, "Man of the Year" just after the blitz began.

  9. Re:USA Today on USA Today Names Edward Snowden Tech Person of the Year · · Score: 4, Informative

    Maybe you're confusing "person of the year" as something that means good guy or bad guy.. It doesn't. It just means someone that causes change or brings things to light or causes a big splash etc... someone who greatly impacts us.

  10. Re:How about at seat assignment time,, on Senators Propose Bill Prohibiting Phone Calls On Planes · · Score: 1

    While i agree with your sentiment, leaving regulation to the private sector is just as bad if not worse... Self regulation == no regulation

  11. No exemptions on Senators Propose Bill Prohibiting Phone Calls On Planes · · Score: 1

    That's right senators.. no more calls for you on your next private flight either... or... was this law just meant for "the people" for their own "safety".

  12. Re:It figures... on Patent Battle May Loom Over 'Copenhagen Wheel' Electric Bike · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well when you put it that way, it sounds like a Dr. Seuss story..

  13. Re:Hey, wait a minute! on Google Wants To Write Your Social Media Responses For You · · Score: 1

    Our records show you have an interest in doing something besides shop. Can we interest you on our newly released "do it yourself" books for only $19.99!

  14. Re:It's sad, really on Federal Prosecutors, In a Policy Shift, Cite Warrantless Wiretaps As Evidence · · Score: 1

    I've been shouting slippery slope for decades... usually to a chorus of "traitor" and "terrorist sympathizer"

  15. Re:UNDER THE POLICE STATE ... on Federal Prosecutors, In a Policy Shift, Cite Warrantless Wiretaps As Evidence · · Score: 1

    "Under the Obama administration, I am sorry to say, the Constitution of the United States has become as valuable as soiled disposable diaper."

  16. Butterfingers on Aussie Company Planning To Use Drones For Textbook Delivery · · Score: 2

    Unless you're poor at catching in which case, lawsuit.. and profit.

  17. Re:A law for everyone on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    They also regularly exceed the speed limit when they don't have those red and blue lights on... because who pulls over a cop?

  18. Re:Rubish on Linking Mass Extinctions To the Sun's Journey In the Milky Way · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I know that's supposed to be tongue in cheek, but correlation is just another way of saying, we need to look into this with more detail. So if that's your hypothesis and there's correlation between the events, then who am I to judge if you decided to study it with greater detail.

  19. Re:Rubish on Linking Mass Extinctions To the Sun's Journey In the Milky Way · · Score: 4, Insightful

    **might** be explained

    Isn't that pretty much what "correlation" means?

  20. Re:Are ghettos really that bad? on Could Technology Create Modern-Day 'Leper Colonies'? · · Score: 1

    "Affordable" is a subjective term.

  21. Re:Oh, really? on Why One Woman Says Sending Your Kid To Private School Is Evil · · Score: 1

    " These things can be changed through well-funded education systems that seek to overcome parents' bad attitudes, but it takes generations, and the US has been going backwards for a long time." ...and to a vast majority of conservatives these days... THAT'S Socialism. It's sad to say, but it's true that people think that.

  22. Re:Peculiar Outrage over Govts spying on each othe on NSA Cracked Into Encrypted UN Video Conferences · · Score: 1

    It's newsworthy because it's in the public spotlight.. it's topical.. and that means ad revenue. It's not about whether or not something is "newsworthy" it's about what's currently being discussed and how that relates to the corporate revenue stream.

  23. Re:So much for the US Tech Industry on NSA Cracked Into Encrypted UN Video Conferences · · Score: 1

    You mean like electronic voting boxes?

  24. Re:The dilema ... on NSA Cracked Into Encrypted UN Video Conferences · · Score: 1

    Caucasian, as in from the Caucasus region? I find it interesting that you insisted on black, but refrained from using white... No hate, just an observation.
