  1. Re:Ya gotta love Intel on Intel Announces X299, Skylake-X, and Kaby Lake-X Release Schedule (anandtech.com) · · Score: 1

    Or maybe ALL the cores passed QA, but you get them running NSA spyware on (18 - number of cores you paid for) cores...?

  2. Re: nearly impossible to anticipate? on Chess.com Has Stopped Working On 32bit iPads After the Site Hit 2^31 Game Sessions (chess.com) · · Score: 1

    Oh wait - you were SERIOUS? Yeah. Different computers use different word sizes. Guess which word size 90% of the users on 90% of machines use?

    What the heck is "WORD"?

    If you have to ask then maybe you're not as smart as you think you are. Go ahead and tell us about how you don't have a TV, ride a bicycle, and don't eat red meat. That would be about as insightful and hilarious as your comment.

  4. Re:As a Verizon investor... on Verizon Closes $4.5B Acquisition of Yahoo, Marissa Mayer Resigns (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    If yahoo still had that chunk of BABA stock you should be happy considering what THAT stock is doing.

  5. Re: When religion makes laws on Man Sentenced to Death For Blasphemous Facebook Comments In Pakistan (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    The argument "my imaginary friend is better than your imaginary friend" is rubbish. OP's statement still stands. I merely have to point you in the direction of the time of inquisitions and burning protestants (or witches) at the stake. I realize catholics don't do that NOW because it's not fashionable anymore. But rest assured there are elements in that group of imaginary friend worshipers who are just dying for the chance.

    WORD should be enough for anybody! Pah, who needs DWORD...

  7. In any other industry on Malware Uses Obscure Intel CPU Feature To Steal Data and Avoid Firewalls (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When can we expect a recall from Intel?

  8. What's happening on What the Hell Is Happening To Cryptocurrency Valuations? (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Human greed. When people start selling houses and taking out new mortgages to "invest" in bitcoin, that's when you get the hell out.

  9. Coming soon on TSA May Recommend Stowing Laptops In Cargo For US Domestic Flights (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's only a matter of time before the TSA realizes that the common denominator threatening aircraft security is the passenger and they start banning all passengers from flying. Out of an abundance of caution, of course.

  10. covfefe

  11. Hardly surprising considering most of their products are also bland, tepid, barely competent knock offs. With rounded corners.

  12. Scientists prove WATER IS WET!

  13. Re:Simple question on Astronomers Discover Alien World Hotter Than Most Stars (vanderbilt.edu) · · Score: 1

    In the long run we're all dead.

  14. If it's hard to recruit female devs, then presumably all those female devs are either jobless somewhere or have left the industry. If not, then SOMEONE is recruiting them... just not the companies forming part of the "study".

  15. Those are the ones easily caught. There are bound to be more. How many turds do you want to see in the punchbowl before you stop wanting to drink punch?

  16. Re:Is anyone surprised? on Dozens of Recent Clinical Trials May Contain Wrong or Falsified Data, Claims Study (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Those are only the ones that are easy to prove fake. There has been a lot of research over the years whose results simply cannot be reproduced even in an identical experiment. Big Pharma has been caught red handed several times now - at one point even publishing their studies in their own "peer review" magazine.

  17. "The Dark Overlord" don't seem to be having much luck with their business model.

  18. So we go from "they hacked us" to "they tried to hack us"? Not quite the same accusation. Next it will go from "It was the Russian government" to "it was someone using an IP from Russia"...

  19. Re:Weekend at Bernie's on Videotapes Are Becoming Unwatchable As Archivists Work To Save Them (npr.org) · · Score: 2

    Does this mean that Weekend at Bernie's gets to die forever

    You can always watch the remake aka Hillary Clinton's election campaign.

  20. Re:Unwatchable on Videotapes Are Becoming Unwatchable As Archivists Work To Save Them (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Because then, like, why the fuck did you spend that money?

    Because 3D!

  21. Re:Finally... on A Lake On Mars May Once Have Teemed With Life (theverge.com) · · Score: 3, Funny

    "Is Major Tom a heroin addict?"

  22. Re:Simple question on A Lake On Mars May Once Have Teemed With Life (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You think that's bad, you should see this laughable black powder the Chinese have come up with. The only thing it's good for is shooting fireworks up into the air. What's the use of that?

  23. Re:Simple question on A Lake On Mars May Once Have Teemed With Life (theverge.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    And a fraction of the trillions the Pentagon "misplaces" every now and again.

  24. Re:Sharing economy? on What To Do If the Laptop Ban Goes Global (backchannel.com) · · Score: 1

    I thought of that myself. Such a business would work even better if they received some sort of endorsement from Fortune 500 companies by proving to their IT departments that the machines are up to spec and all data is properly deleted on return.

  25. Re:By far not the first time on 'Rime' Developer Keeps Promise, Removes Denuvo DRM After Game Gets Cracked (cinemablend.com) · · Score: 1

    There's no doubt that some sales are going to be lost to piracy

    There's an argument that NO game sales are lost to piracy because people who pirate your game were not going to pay for it anyway.
