  1. Sounds great for Northern California on Tesla Adds An All-Glass Roof Option For Its Model S (fortune.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    I live in the Texas. This thing sounds like a solar oven to me. No, thanks.

  2. If you refuse to believe well documented and verified facts, especially when refusing to do so has dangerous consequences, then yes, we will call you a bad person. Anthropogenic global warming is a documented, verified fact, and it is accelerating. Those who stand in the way of fixing that are bad people and should be called out on it. Don't like it? Tough. Get used to it, because like global warming, it's only going to get worse.

  3. Re:Don't know about you but I like when the climat on National Geographic Releases Alarming Climate Change Movie 'Before the Flood' On YouTube (youtube.com) · · Score: 2

    Canadians are known for being polite, not nice. There's a difference. Personally, I think it's because if you weren't polite, you'd all kill each other before the first thaw of spring.

    I wouldn't worry. Since you don't vote, you don't matter.

  5. Re:that's pretty evil on Google's Schmidt Drew Up Draft Plan For Clinton In 2014 (itwire.com) · · Score: 1

    "My Lord of Darkness Mr. Schmidt," I began, quivering in terror before the dread presence of Satan, Father of Lies, "our readers want to know, what makes you so evil?"

    "Me?," he asks with feigned outrage, "I always say, 'Don't be evil', do I not? I am not the evil one. Do not believe your eyes; they deceive you."

  6. Re:migration paths per distribution on Linux Kernel 4.7 Reaches End of Life, Users Urged To Move To Linux 4.8 (softpedia.com) · · Score: 1

    4.8 is a large step, however ive compiled a list of migrations for major distributions

    Ubuntu: apt-get install...wait...apt-cache update && apt-....isnt there a widget? ignore the update its probably already happened or systemd already did it...

    There is a widget for this. It's called Software Updater and it's found in System Tools in the menu. If you want to upgrade to a newer distribution version (eg: from 16.04 to 16.10) you need to select the appropriate option in Software & Updates.

  7. Re:Use FreeBSD Instead on OMGUbuntu: 'Why Use Linux?' Answered in 3 Short Words (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    "Good enough" was coined by Bill Gates back in the eighties. Windows sucked then and it sucks now. But perhaps your definition of good enough differs from mine.

  8. Well, the evidence is a Dutch "report" from "this past week". It's right there in the summary.

    Seriously, though, there's an analysis of the malware linked in one of the articles. That's as much proof as you're going to get.

  9. Re:You would think science could help on Can We Really Stop Climate Change By 'Capturing' Carbon? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Right? I'll bet he even wants to be able to burn it and have the resulting energy be, at worst, carbon neutral.

  10. Re: Would it be OK on Feds Convinced Police To Use License Plate-Scanning Tech At Gun Shows (foxnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Certainly. You could drop half a ton of the stuff on someone, for example.

  11. He's implying that we should all divest our portfolios of any spoon related stocks.

  12. Re:Everyone is a moron to someone.... on Linus Torvalds Says 'Buggy Crap' Made It Into Linux 4.8 (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    1) By the belt and collar
    2) To celebrate your victory

  13. I could see testing PHP, Perl, or Python scripts in such an environment. Think web development and things like that. There are probably a lot of use cases like that.

  14. Re:You know the rest... on Ubuntu 16.04 Available in Latest Insider Update To Windows 10 (omgubuntu.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    you mean Xenix?

    Man, I loved that TV show. I had the hots for Xenix's little brunette friend.

  15. #NotAllLaptops

  16. Re:Alternate Fact on India Ratifies The Paris Climate Change Agreement (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    So, I guess it's time to kill some sacred cows.

  17. Re:So what... on Online Journalists Launch An Onslaught Against Donald Trump (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    And next to nothing in federal or state income taxes, for that matter. Frankly, if you are running for public office, I think it behooves you to pay into the system. At the very least, it looks bad to the middle America types for whom working hard and paying taxes is a mark of patriotism. (Even as they complain vociferously about those taxes.)

  18. Maybe you've never filed taxes, but state returns say things like, "Enter amount from your Federal form on line 9a".

    I didn't know that. But then, I've never filed state income taxes because I live in Texas, where we don't do that.

  19. Re:akin to.... on Amazon Marketplace Shoppers Slam the Spam (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Table turnover is good for restaurants, too. A typical restaurant wants to turn over every table at least three times during the dinner hours. That's tough to do if each table takes two hours or more, so they want to rush you through your meal. Frankly, the only ones negatively affected by high table turnover rates are the customers.

  20. It's his taste that's twenty years old. He's yesterday's Tom Sawyer, mean, mean pride.

  21. "SJWs" do fight against stuff like this, and they do it all the time. This story was on BoingBoing two days ago, for instance. That site is about SJW-y as they get.

  22. > Cable TV companies could lose nearly $1 billion to people cutting the cord over the next year

    ... Good.

    Search for aliens -- OoooOOOooooh!
    Sex robot -- Giggity!
    Create a digital assistant -- Meh.

    Siri and Google Now aren't sexy. Maybe what's needed is a chatty digital alien sexbot that happens to double as an assistant. Slide in the useful features on the sly, like hiding dog medicine in a piece of cheese.
