    It's hard to live on only 2 million dollars a week you know!

    "Don't deny me the memories of my son,"

    What the actual fuck?

  3. I find it amazing that none of these hospitals are making regular backups of their files. Storage is not the expensive part.

    Of course they'll say that. It's not like THEY'RE paying for it.

    Government funded project. It's a special category.

  6. Re:The longer you wait... on Oculus Rift Review: Virtual Reality is Almost Here · · Score: 3, Insightful

    But Oculus wants you to believe it's ready because they're already a couple billion dollars in the hole and would need to a few million units just to break even.

  7. Able to reach your monthly data cap in less than 6 seconds!

  8. Re:There you go on Tribeca Film Festival, Robert De Niro Pull Anti-Vaccination Film · · Score: 3, Funny

    I expect no less from someone who ascribes to that lunatic branch of our faith that thinks that the goat is wooly. The goat provides goat hair not wool. Die, heretic!

  9. There you go on Tribeca Film Festival, Robert De Niro Pull Anti-Vaccination Film · · Score: 1

    could offer legitimacy to a study debunked

    See, this is your problem right here. While I might think that the great space goat created heaven and earth, there is no evidence to support this and therefore I cannot claim it is legitimate or a "fact".

  10. Not a problem on Kentucky Hospital Calls State of Emergency In Hack Attack (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Just revert to the backup. Right?

  11. Your parents had to say "whoa" and "go" to signal you to adjust yourself.

    I grew up in an age when my parents didn't do that. In fact they'd smack me if I made too much noise in the back seat. Kids nowadays have no idea how spoiled they are.

  17. Re:Stay out of high noise areas maybe? on US Army Developing Encrypted Radar Waveform (thestack.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Geneva convention only applies to the loser of a conflict. It's a tool used by the victor to do a little more damage, charge people with war crimes, etc. It doesn't apply to the victor even when they break/ignore them. Because of course there's the old argument when you tell them to stop: "Oh yeah, who is going to make me stop? You and which army?"

  18. Boss: Why are you late for work?

    You: Ford bricked my car.

  19. They deny it happens automatically by confirming it happens automatically:

    [Customers] can choose to not install the Windows 10 upgrade or remove the upgrade from Windows Update (WU) by changing the WU settings.

    Hear that? It's not automatic IF YOU OPT OUT by changing the WU settings.

    No on the contrary I've lived in countries that really have oppression and I'm shocked at what whiny little bitches Americans have become. I'm not in favor of a surveillance state but you guys don't know how good you still have it. The screw can be turned quite a bit more before society breaks. You'll see.

  23. Re:A bad as this is... on DOJ Threatens To Seize iOS Source Code (idownloadblog.com) · · Score: 1

    Obstruction of justice charges.

    It's not obstruction of justice when what the justice is asking for is illegal.

    This isn't oppression yet. Wait until people start disappearing. Then you'll have oppression.
