  1. Headline not clear on Can You Copyright a Joke? (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    Dick stuck in ceiling fan.

  2. The mid-2010 can go up to 16GB.

  3. Re:Don't blame the U.S.A. on Chinese State Media Says US Should Take Some Blame For Cyberattack (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Last time I read about Windows in China, most people were still using Windows XP. Does Microsoft still release patches for XP?

  4. Re:man made climate change is a hoax on Many Nations Pin Climate Hopes On China, India As Hopes For Trump Fade (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You're the first ever comment I've ever read with factual information that shows an alternative point of view against all this climate change debate.

    And when you think about it, if a single solar flare has the potential to be big enough to end all life on the planet, it sure as hell can modify the climate.

    So the question is, can we increase the strength of the planet's natural shield?

  5. Re:One word: sadness on Many Nations Pin Climate Hopes On China, India As Hopes For Trump Fade (reuters.com) · · Score: 2

    Don't look at it as population numbers alone, but as energy used and pollution produced per person. The U.S.A. is a problem.

    You forgot all the rubbish that was manufactured there in the first place, then wasted fuel to be sent to us, used for less than a year and then wasted fuel to send it back over there for "disposal" (i.e. trash heap, no recycling).

  7. And hopefully those guns and bullets will be proudly made in the U.S.A.!

  8. Microsoft Surface, Microsoft Xbox, etc. They also make products that could be manufactured in the U.S.A. like Apple. But they don't, because it's cheaper in Taiwan/China.

  9. Prisons are dangerous on Chelsea Manning Set To Be Released From Prison, 28 Years Early (nbcnews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Manning was court-martialed and sentenced in 2013 to 35 years in prison [...] Manning came out as a transgender woman.

    See kids? Prisons are dangerous! Inmates don't just fuck you in the ass anymore, they learn to be doctors to be able to change your gender so they can fuck you in the vagina too!

    Well actually it will sound even worst, but at least you caught my nonsense.

  12. You think Apple hate the Mac Pro? Have you seen what they've done to the Mac mini?

  13. Re:Bell Service Not Universally Horrible on 1.9 Million Bell Customer Email Addresses Stolen By 'Anonymous Hacker' (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    The people on the technical side are always the best. The ones in customer service are stuck with the requirements of the company. The ones in billing don't seem to even be aware that prices in developed countries are a fraction of what we're paying here. And the people at the top don't even care that the speed and limitations of their internet services are the laughing stock of the planet.

  14. Re:And nothing of value was lost on 1.9 Million Bell Customer Email Addresses Stolen By 'Anonymous Hacker' (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Bell still has plenty of customers because there's zero competition in a lot of areas.

  15. Re:I'll still use Ogg/Vorbis on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 2

    But since your organic human ears are extremely limited in their ability to capture the sound wave, your brain will never know the difference.

  16. Re:Reasons not to. on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    Apple never sold music in the MP3 format. It has and always has been AAC. With DRM at the beginning but without DRM for quite a while now.

  17. Re: I have thousands of songs on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 2

    No! MiniDisc is the future!

  18. Re:DRM on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    You can also have DRM-free AAC files.

  19. Re:I have thousands of songs on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    All my computers and devices can play MP3 and AAC. None can play FLAC.

    FLAC is the hippy format of the lossless world.

  20. Re:I have thousands of songs on MP3 Is Not Dead, It's Finally Free (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    You could always convert them to AAC, because it's a superior CODEC and your songs will sound better at the same bitrate!

  21. Re:File that under... what? on Disney Chief Bob Iger Says Hackers Claim To Have Stolen Upcoming Movie (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Nothing to see here really.

    Except a pirated movie about pirates.

    * sorry if I missed any fetishes.

  23. File that under... what? on Disney Chief Bob Iger Says Hackers Claim To Have Stolen Upcoming Movie (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    The movie in question appears to be the upcoming film Pirates of the Caribbean: Dead Men Tell No Tales. Disney appears to be working with the FBI and will not pay the ransom.

    So it's a movie about pirates that's been "pirated" and a ransom has been asked but won't be paid because hopefully the "heroes" will save the day. I don't know if I should file that under irony, inception, recursive and/or funny.

  24. I get a free hand-me-down smartphone every few years from my uncle!
