    Good to know.

    You won't be seeing me again.

  2. So momey was spent on Y Combinator-Funded Startup To Do Quantum Computing -- Only Better (bizjournals.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Money was spent on "slacker news" april fools?

    There's a declining pool of people reading and posting on /. Maybe hiring folks that can do more than turn the site orange and make up stories would help make the site better if they focused on news for nerds and stuff that matters.

    Focus on someone better than Beau.

  3. Re:Why does GOVERNMENT have to do EVERYTHING?! on FCC To Halt Expansion of Broadband Subsidies For Poor People (arstechnica.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Your title is appropriate. People have no idea nowadays what the federal government was supposed to do under the constitution.

  5. A point here? on Is Australia Becoming A Cashless Society? (abc.net.au) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Cashless means everything costs more, including paying your child an allowance for mowing the lawn because it's taxed.

  6. Maybe this will allow people to decide updates again.

  7. Re:Volume on AMC Plans Ad-Free Streaming Service (fortune.com) · · Score: 2

    You might - but If I pay for a service, it should be ad free. If it isn't, I'm not paying. And I'm not the only one out there with the same stance.

    But if he weren't dense, how could we then understand the true superior Character in the movie? You Know, The woman, who was better than both men!

  9. Ask Schrodinger, he put it in a box somewhere.

  10. Re:sell movie theatre stock now on Studios Flirt With Offering Movies Early in Home for $30 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, I'd rather pay a couple of bucks for a used dvd/bluray and spend the other 48 bucks on 24 other movies/shows.

    Yep, Amazon has a book I want - typically ships in 1 or 2 weeks.

    Ebay has it for the same exact price and I ordered it last night and it's on the way. Ebay also had a better selection of Jeep Roofs, and my new one is at home waiting for a warm day for me to replace my old one.

    As to the key fob versus text? they can't spam your keyfob.

  13. Re:I've noticed that, but something else interesti on Satellite Navigation 'Switches Off' Parts of Brain Used For Navigation, Study Finds (scientificamerican.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm the same. When I'm out riding on my bile, I just go a hundred or so miles in no particular pattern, when I use the gps on for the return, I watch the map.

    I can still re-create my memorable rides without sat nav. But if I had to describe where the blueberry farm in Indiana is that I ride to, listening to me telling you that turning left at the funny farm house, going to the long drive past another farm, watch for the dukes of hazard bridge, cross that and follow the signs won't help you.

    Why hasn't there been a study with spree killings and prescriptions? Most of the ones I looked into had a "disorder" / "treatment" while they were a teen.

  15. Re:Sharing Paper on Ebook Pirates Are Relatively Old and Wealthy, Study Finds (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Sharing a book is legal.

    Sharing a file isn't because you agreed to the EULA.

    I don't support that model, but then again I don't have e-books.

  16. Sorry, I don't get the summary on Scientists Sent a Rocket To Mars For Less Than It Cost To Make 'The Martian' (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    Hollywood should be sending money to fund women making space rockets instead of movies ?

    How does that model work to fund more movies?

    And when that model sucks all the money out of Hollywood - how do they send money?

    Yep, I was going to post that as well. I have a library of over 5000 paperbacks, It's fun introducing people to Remo Williams, or Tarl Cabot, Casca and many others :)

    A ribeye that tastes like a ribeye and is textured to be a prime ribeye?

    Over 50 and would hop on that band wagon. ESPECIALLY if they make it to be exactly the same cut every time. A cut of meat guaranteed to cook exactly the same would simplify home prep.

  24. right. i had to get up in the morning at ten oâ(TM)clock at night half an hour before i went to bed, drink a cup of sulfuric acid, work twenty-nine hours a day using mud to make the circuit, and pay the mud owner for permission to come to work, and when we got home, our dad and our mother would kill us and dance about on our graves singing hallelujah.
