  1. Re:That is bad news! on Newly Developed RNA-Based Vaccine Could Offer Lifelong Protection From the Flu · · Score: 1

    "Fuck you" - yeah, that's pretty much the response I expected from the privileged. How about when you come home with a paycheck that's eight hours short? You possess luxuries you aren't even aware of. Rich prick.

    Spoken like a true 1%-er. Let me guess, you've never had to fill out an unexcused absence slip at your employer in your entire working life, eh?

    Excuse me, but what the hell are you talking about? Did the rest of us miss out on some sort of conversation you were having and you just sort of continued it here?

  5. Spoken like a true capitalist on Ask Slashdot: Troubling Trend For Open Source Company · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Well, here we have yet another case of insular thinking from a capitalist who can only see her own side of the situation. It's like this, 1%-er: people download some free software that promises to solve their problems. The software is confusing and poorly laid out. They do what comes naturally: ask the company to stand behind their product. The company replies with a crafty, "pay us, we will only help you for $$$, this is the only language we understand, otherwise get lost and back to your hovel, peasant." The customer is then rightfully angry that such a bait-and-switch has been pulled. Do you get it now, Corporate Master?

    That is the natural state of humans. We deserve to die.

  7. Ok, so if the documents were shredded, how was any useful information recovered? The story doesn't say. Hurrah for journalism. Assuming the documents were pieced together, that's a lot of painstaking work by people just standing around. The journalist uses the word "confetti" which does not mean "long strips of paper that were not crosscut shredded". Every shredder I've seen for the last decade has been a crosscut shredder instead of the old style. There's one in this office not ten feet from me that does crosscut shredding, and my Dad has one in his office too. These are the ordinary models that anyone can buy. So, were these police documents ribbons instead of confetti? The article doesn't say. Yet another proud day for journalism.

    LOL. So, it was wrong when the wrong side was doing it. But now, it's totally OK because we good people are doing it. You're either with us or against us was bad because it was simplistic thinking, but now it's the only choice to go forward. Yeah, even back then I was saying it was barking liberal hypocrisy, but nobody listened. It's nice to feel validated once in a while.

    That's today. Tomorrow there will be an additional charge for NOT sharing. Next year there will be a law that makes it illegal not to share.

    PS the 2nd world ceased to exist in 1991, but go ahead with that, it shows the rest of us how reality-based you are.

  13. Re:If you have no integrity, then none. on The Internet Has Transformed Modern Divorce · · Score: 1

    Well, then you have to deal with the fact that women change their feelings. "I'm a different person today and I don't feel like I need to honor a promise I made ten years ago" is a common reason for initiating a divorce. The vast majority of divorces in America are the decision of women.

  14. Make sure you work the balls, Harry on 1976 Polaroids of an Apple-1 Resurface · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I hope this fanboyism isn't slow and sloppy, Harry. The typical Apple-worshipping journalist doesn't know to work the balls, but it's an important fact that shouldn't be neglected. When posting non-news on a credible mainstream media source and promoting it via your own account on non-news-for-nerds, dropping the fact that you once met Wozniak on a tour of a museum just isn't enough. You have to work the balls, too.

    "Intent" is not required to be racist. Have you asked the African-Americans in your group how they feel about being called monkey? Oh, there aren't any African-Americans in your group? Yeah, that's what I thought.

    Well, I logged in to say that if a warrant was obtained, then the action was as legal as enforcing anti-racism laws. But, since the article is completely secondhand information from "Torrentfreak" and contains no link to the source, I can't say.

    And the whole "home invasion" thing stinks of an American right-wing nutbag sitting at home polishing his guns dreaming of the day he opens fire on police. You might want to change your memes to get a more sympathetic audience.

    What, again with the US political shit? Get over yourselves, it's not all about you, we're talking about other countries now. Sorry, adults only in this conversation.

    Hamas knows that attacking Israel with rockets will result in a reaction. They take this action with the full knowledge that it will lead to not only innocent Jewish civilians dying but their own people as well. But, somehow, it's Israel's fault. Always.

  25. Terrorists already changing tactics on Why Iron Dome Might Only Work For Israel · · Score: 0

    Well, since Iron Dome appears to be working, the Gaza terror groups are changing tactics. They are now firing volleys of rockets hoping to saturate Iron Dome's ability to intercept, and targeting areas uncovered by Iron Dome. The new tactics worked, as Iron Dome was only able to intercept five out of seven rockets on Saturday, letting on through to explode in a residential area, killing an unarmed civilian. I guess it wasn't one of those "unarmed" rockets we hear so much about. It's amazing how incompetent Palestinians can be when it comes to creating a peaceful, prosperous society, and so ingenious and industrious when it comes to killing Jews.
