  1. Re:Oh, I'd say it\s much more than that. on New Zealand ISP's Anti-Geoblocking Service Makes Waves · · Score: 1

    I lost my reverence for the television industry honoring itself long ago. Moreover the series is a training film for misogyny. The world would be a better place with it off the air, no matter how many awards it wins.

  2. Re:Why the Displays? on Android Wear Is Here · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because the pretentious twat reviewer types will savagely treat any monochrome product. Moreover the trendy hipster crowd would never use anything not in full color. It would be a sales disaster. Practical? Who the hell ever got invited to parties for being practical?

  3. Re:Actually makes good sense on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    You're not thinking like a terrorist. They don't care about a line at the airport, they want a big flashy attack that will make all the newspapers. If Boko Haram had attacked small schools all over Nigeria instead of one big one, would they have gotten into the news? Nope, forget it, it the mainstream media wouldn't have paid attention. But now everyone knows the name Boko Haram and what they want: Western influence out of Nigeria, permanently.

    How long is a subway car? Most of the world doesn't have subways. Just shows the writer's unconscious bias when she fails to consider this because she and everyone she knows uses the subway every day. It's pernicious and it's inexcusable for educated people.

  5. "pro-unrestrained capitalist propaganda" I guess is what leftists are calling anything that disagrees with their own viewpoints. Funny how we're all supposed to be tolerant of different opinions, until those opinions don't follow left-wing thought. Then the most vile denunciations are appropriate to use, and dehumanizing your targets is a suitable response. Sickening, but here we are.

  6. Re:There is some history here on German Intelligence Employee Arrested On Suspicion of Spying For US On Bundestag · · Score: 1

    Yes, because leaving Nazi Germany intact under a different Fuehrer was such a great idea. They wouldn't possibly use the separate peace with the Allies to fight the Soviets at all.

    Nazism had to be utterly wiped out. There could be no negotiating with a Jew-killing ideology.

    No, it is just the usual idiot news that has zippo to do with nerds. You know, stuff you'd see on reddit.com. If it's going to be like that, why even bother having two websites?

    There's no Berlin Wall in America. No guard towers, barbed wire, or land mines to keep the people in. In fact, fences are regarded as useless and large sections of the borders are simply left unguarded, for anyone to escape. I think you didn't get the memo on the whole Berlin Wall metaphor. And besides, you're supposed to compare the USA to Nazis, those are the wrong kind of Germans.

    "Communism is powerful, powerful stuff. So powerful it managed to spread laziness, poverty, and hideously poor engineering in a country populated entirely by Germans."

    You miss the point. The paper did pass peer review and was published. In a credible journal. It is a great embarrassment to have to retract the paper. The vaunted peer review - supposed to eliminate problems like this - failed.

    Well, you can play that game all night. The mental asylums were all closed from ACLU lawsuits because it's cruel to imprison people who have committed no crime. Where do we put the crazies? Mental asylums? No way, they were all closed down!

    Then you get welfare, and go to the homeless shelter. Duh! Free money and an address where you can receive mail, shower, sleep, etc. Homeless people who *want* to get better can get better. I know because I did it.

    Uhh...if you're a feminist then it's perfectly acceptable to censor viewpoints you don't agree with. It's sexist and therefore deserves to be deleted. I honestly don't know how you call yourself a feminist and don't know this. Thankfully on campus your sisters are not as misguided as yourself. Men raise issues at their own peril.

  14. Re:His choices... on The Internet's Own Boy · · Score: 0

    Well, it was you fuckshits who demanded "no tolerance laws" to protect the children, you know. If they showed any tolerance, it wouldn't be a zero-tolerance policy, would it? Careful what you ask for, you civilization-destroying piece of shit.

  15. Re:Self Medication on CDC: 1 In 10 Adult Deaths In US Caused By Excessive Drinking · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Medication is used to treat diseases. Feeling like a fuck-up isn't a disease, and even if it was alcohol would probably be one of the last medicines a physician would prescribe. It's the opposite of a medicine, it's a poison in fact.

    I don't buy the smoking/drugs thing because hundreds of years ago (much less thousands) they didn't have pills or pot. And they didn't chew on mushrooms, either. They just had lives. So you can call it something, I call it getting drunk, but jeez medication is a pretty damn far cry no matter how many people before you parroted it.

    That's what happens when people grow up like that...they never think to question the bars of their cage. That's why hitting children with indoctrination instead of education is so fucking evil. $1000 fine? WTF?

    Actually that secondhand smoking thing was found to be FAR less than they said it was. However, it served its purpose, though! Can it be called bad science if it did something that prohibitionists consider 'good'?

  19. Re:Something I'd like to see on Hospitals Begin Data-Mining Patients · · Score: 1

    Despite living in an advanced country, you have fallen into the right-wing trap of believing that people must possess virtue to gain the benefits of society. "Free" doesn't mean they owe you or anyone else anything. It's a right.

    I'll take the inexperienced people, thanks. When the other choice is incumbents who know exactly how everything works and know they can't be voted out because they control the system, I'm willing to take inefficiency any day, thanks.

  21. Re:All this... on Mozilla Working On a New Website Comment System · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    It's because nobody monitors them. They just install a shitty commenting system and never check the comments again, ever. If they actually policed the comment sections, it wouldn't be nearly as bad.

    On the other hand, I have definitely learned something from commenters. Frequently, the news leaves out important context or outright lies due to its left-wing bias, and the commenters lay out the true story. Local corruption cases especially benefit from this extra information.

  22. Re:Calm down - it's not a real prohibition on US House of Representatives Votes To Cut Funding To NSA · · Score: 2
    You know why Congress cut off funding to the South Vietnamese? They would be damned if Nixon would have anything positive in his legacy. They betrayed the South Vietnamese while the North still got its full funding from the Soviets. A scant few years later and the North broke the peace treaty and invaded.

    Fun fact: which was worse, Richard Nixon's abuse of federal power by ordering a break-in at Democratic Party HQ, or the IRS' abuse of federal power by Lois Lerner and her henchmen? Nixon knew what he did was wrong, was about to get impeached, and had the grace to resign. Does Obama realize that what his people did was wrong?

    No "propaganda" is necessary. All that needs to be mentioned is that the space program is nothing but a tax-funded love letter to society's high IQ groups, while nothing is left for African-Americans and Latinos. That is the most effective attack possible, which has the benefit of being 100% true. The ISS is typically 100% monoracial, when so many studies exist definitively proving the benefits of multiculturalism.

    How's this a "woman thing" again? The medical profession is snappy and high-handed with both sexes. They don't care about you any more than a mechanic cares about a car. But I guess to certain people everything is a male oppression dystopia because that's all they think about all day long. It is a poor witch-hunter who cannot find witches.

    Zynga didn't use the OED to rustle up an old word and give it a new life. There's no relationship between the modern usage and the OED usage. The modern usage is the result of marketing idiots endlessly verbing nouns. To pretend that it's some sort of scholarly work is ridiculous, but that's exactly what you just argued.
