  1. Internet Archive deletion? on Britain's Conservatives Scrub Speeches from the Internet · · Score: 1

    How does that work?

  2. Re:Wow, this is still around? on The State of ReactOS's Crazy Open Source Windows Replacement · · Score: 1

    FD was also actually a viable replacement for *DOS long before the somewhat arbitrary 1.0 line was drawn. Last time i looked ReactOS really isn't usable except as something cool to play with.

    Don't misunderstand, i think its a great idea, but with out enough people behind it to make it go anywhere.

  3. Re:Young? on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    From the way it sounds, its you that need to stay off my lawn. And yes, i have a Cadillac too..

    Oh, and real mean learned to code BEFORE college. Even if it was assembler on the big iron, like i did, in middle school years.

  4. Re:Young? on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    I am beyond middle aged, and i still don't consider it *young*.

  5. Re:Yes young on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    While there are always exceptions, young does mean incompetent, and a few other colorful adjectives.

    I don't consider 20 young ( or old.. ), unless you are still live in your mothers basement.. Most of us had been out of the house for a while at that point.

    And yes, i do have a lawn and kids need to stay off if.

  6. Re:Young? on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    No. Moron.

  7. Re:Young? on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 1

    Speak for yourself, child.

  8. Young? on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: 0

    Umm i don't consider 20 young. I was coding professionally by that age. By "young", i'm thinking high school age.

    Regardless of that, anyone with 1/2 a brain could do a better job in far less time.

  9. Re:Government Involvement on How 3 Young Coders Built a Better Portal To HealthCare.gov · · Score: -1, Troll

    What is this Constitution you speak of? ( our current administration uses it for toilet paper )

  10. Re:Silly, but it is their right... on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 0

    I worded it that way for a reason. But no, i wont explain it.

  11. Re:Terrible interview on Head of Silk Road 2.0 Says It Will Be Back In Minutes If Shut Down · · Score: 1

    Or legal goods.. that you didn't want to broadcast that you bought them. The ability to not be tracked ( easily ) in your purchases is nothing to be sneezed at.

  12. Single point of failure on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 0

    This really needs to be addressed, for the average person. We cant continue having single points of failure for services. There is too much at stake, both for the content consumers and the people trying to do their best to provide it.

  13. Re:Hoarders on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 2

    The media that 'surrounds us' currently is trash. This makes it even more important to rescue and protect the classics. Due to the current level of intelligence in society, obscure is 'the good stuff'. In another 15 years if we have lost our 'history', it will be a loss for all.

    This also includes books. Especially as more and more move to electronic format only. So much knowledge has been lost due to books fading out before they were rescued.

  14. Re:Hoarders on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 2

    True, people with obscure collections are not up 24/7, but they at least have a copy safely stored away and it can be returned back to the community pool at some point.

  15. Re:So what this really means... on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    While true, i really doubt 90% of you-tube viewers would watch them, or understand any of it if they did accidentally click on one.

  16. Modern Prisons on Sweden Is Closing Many Prisons Due to Lack of Prisoners · · Score: 1

    At least in the so-called civilized world prisons are far too plush. Often times prison life is better than the outside life of the criminal. And FAR better than most of our military.

    Changing this would go a long way to help.

  17. Re:Silly, but it is their right... on Music Industry Issues Take Down Notices to 50 Major Lyrics Sites · · Score: 0

    And some of us could care less.

  18. So what this really means... on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Is that people are content with watching brainless cat-videos instead of learning something.

    Drool... Drool... click.. Drool.

  19. Re:Hoarders on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 5, Insightful

    When the commercial outlets drop something out of existence you want due to low demand, you will thank the so-called 'hoarders'.

  20. Re:1st post! on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 3, Interesting

    1 - If you like obscure stuff, chances are its not there
    2 - Many people don't like to have to be "online" just to watch or listen, or read. ( and be at the mercy of the provider and what they feel like offering this month )

  21. Piracy Jab on Netflix, Youtube Surpass 50% Mark of Internet Traffic · · Score: 1

    Nice that was tossed in there. Screw you.

  22. Is it still relevant? on WxWidgets 3.0: First Major Release in Several Years · · Score: 1

    Its great they are still alive, but how many people have moved over to other toolkits like QT the years?

    Why would it be worth going back?

  23. Carpet bomb them on Journalists Banned From Using Smartphones At 2014 Sochi Olympics? · · Score: 0

    Problem solved. The entire event is a pointless waste of resources anyway.

  24. Buying the next generation on MPAA Backs Anti-Piracy Curriculum For Elementary School Students · · Score: 1

    if you can buy education today, you get your way tomorrow.

  25. With effects? on Scientist Seeks Investment For "Alcohol Substitute" · · Score: 1

    Good luck getting that past the FDA. They frown on new 'mind alternating' chemicals.
