  1. Telephones are more efficient? on Why No One Answers Their Phone Anymore (theatlantic.com) · · Score: 1

    I keep seeing this come up in the comments. It occurs to me to wonder... What criteria are you using to define efficiency? If it's words transacted per minute, then yes, a call is more efficient. If it's meaningful information transacted per minute, telephones suck ass.

  2. 3 billion light years on Astronomers Detect 15 Atypical Signals From Distant Galaxy (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    Meaning these signals originated a long time ago in a galaxy far, far away.

  3. Fucking broflake cowards on Google Cancels Town Hall To Discuss Diversity In Its Ranks (nbcnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Just a quick tip - the opinion that diversity should be opposed is not diversity. It is the exact opposite of freedom.

  4. I was stealth laid off by IBM (merger, contract release) along with a couple hundred of my friends in August. Your axe is bloodier than most, IBM.

  5. How's that new prez workin' out for you.... on Trump Appoints Third Net Neutrality Critic To FCC Advisory Team (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    ...you fedora tipping, neckbearded, MRA Anonymous 4chan jackholes?

  6. OK, so... just trying to put all this together. You (and Trump) consider the data in question to be personal data which is uninvolved with her official capacity as Secretary of State, but your panties are in a wad approaching the Pauli exclusion limit because you allege that Clinton had exactly the same regard for what you consider to be data vital to the interests of the United States.

  7. let me get this straight... on Trump Calls For Russia To Cyber-Invade the United States To Find Clinton's 'Missing' Emails (gawker.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The GOP presidential candidate is encouraging a hostile foreign power to intrude into US government data systems in the hopes of revealing evidence Clinton may have acted contrary to the interests of the United States. Have I got this right?

  8. The answer is quite obvious on Why Are Hackers Increasingly Targeting the Healthcare Industry? (helpnetsecurity.com) · · Score: 1

    Fake medical bills.

    The fact that you don't know how many medical bills you'll get, from whom, or what the total will be creates huge opportunities for fraudulent medical billing. You find out when someone was in a hospital and for what, then send them a fake bill for a couple grand for (insert bullshit reason here). Then harass the living shit out of them until they agree to settle for half of what you originally asked for.

  9. Capitalism != free market on A Majority Of Millennials Now Reject Capitalism, Poll Shows (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    "It does appear to suggest young people are frustrated with the status quo and are more focused on the flaws of free markets."

    Capitalism has fuck all to do with free market. Capitalism is about how to use money to ensure that the market will *not* be free.

  10. Pandora's box on Stephen Fry Urges Young To Flee 'Dystopian' Social Networks · · Score: 1

    Has been opened. I have friends all over the world whom I would never have met were it not for social media. I met my wife in Second Life, and at the time, we lived 3000 miles apart. Humans are connecting creatures, and I think it's too late to reverse the social evolution toward using technology to connect. Even if you were to personally decide to only connect with people you can physically meet, whom would you talk to? Everyone else has their head buried in their smart phones. The very act of attempting to interrupt their attention automatically disqualifies you as someone worthy of socialization. I'm sure Stephen Fry could reasonably expect to be able to strike up a conversation with a stranger on a train. You and I cannot.

    A more practical solution is for people to begin to take their privacy seriously and go to a little extra effort to secure it. This has already begun, to a limited extent and with younger people. My kids and their friends no longer use services like facebook to communicate, because they know how easy it is for parents and principals to access the information. We need to choose social media services that strike a different balance on the issues of cost and privacy, even and especially if that involves paying for them directly.

  11. Doesn't Netflix use AWS? on Amazon Splits Prime Video Service To Compete Directly With Netflix (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    Amazon Web Services. We can help you do cool and important things. At least until Jeff Bezos becomes aware that you're doing cool and important things. Then, fuck you, you're going down.

  12. ok wait a minute there Captain Spin... on How George W. Bush and NASA Saved SpaceX From Financial Ruin (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 2

    You're crediting George W Bush with wise and foresighted... government spending? We don't need George W Bush to demonstrate the utility of government spending in spurring innovation that the private sector wouldn't otherwise be able to afford. Kennedy did that in the 60s.

  13. Interesting move, Google. on 4chan Founder Chris Poole Will Try To Fix Social At Google (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    If you're looking for some real estate expertise, I hear the leadership of Daesh is looking to branch out. Something about a cash flow problem. At any rate, their track record on acquisitions really can't be beat. You should talk to them.

  14. Re:Punishes users and good advertisers on Google, Yahoo Cry About Ad-Blocking (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The problem with Internet advertising is that computers/web pages are capable of violations of my person which are similar in scope. Software embedded in ads can pull my tracking information, revealing my private information, preferences, etc. I can even be left with a nasty malware infection after the fact.

  15. Whelp, that's that. I guess I'm Christian now on Swedish Scientist Suggests That There Is Only One Earth (blastingnews.com) · · Score: 0

    Do I report to a priest for my deflowering, or am I too old for that?

  16. Re:Easy on What Bell Labs Was Like C.1967 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll say this for you. You lived up to your username.

  17. ok, but... on It's Time To Open Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    I am NOT going out on the ledge.

  18. Is this an argument for or against the development of transhumanism? From where I'm sitting, you're making a very good argument to hurry up and get on with it.

  19. eject! on Japan Creates Earthquake-Proof Levitating House System · · Score: 1

    It's an earthquake...

    Quick! Jettison the house!

  20. Re:So he hasn't learned a thing. on World's Worst PR Guy Gives His Side · · Score: 2, Funny

    TheRaven64 is not in the sudoers file. This incident will be reported.

  21. yeah, that's me on Accused Teen Bomber Finds FBI Surveillance Team's Wireless Network · · Score: 1

    That's my network. I named it that as a joke.

  22. supersonic? on Paper Airplane Touches Edge of Space, Glides Back · · Score: 1

    At that altitude, there is a possibility the plane could have become supersonic for a brief period of time (owing to very low air density). I wonder if it did.
