    NewEgg stands up to patent trolls.

    Amazon... well, one-click.

    You needed a study to figure this out? I think science jumped the shark.

    Or the NSA. Using bitcoin and the silk road to finance their secret activities.

    Allegedly, evidence taken from his computer (example) includes a diary while building and operating SR.

  5. Funny story. A couple months ago in Arizona, a guy was pulled over for a rolling stop at a stop sign. The police decided his ass was suspicious (literally) and got a warrant for a butt rape. The doctor at the local hospital told them to fuck off, so they went to another hospital (out of county) where the doctors fingered him (multiple times), gave him an enema, and finally, a colonoscopy. At no point were drugs or anything other than poop found in his asshole. The hospital later sent the butt rape victim a bill "for services rendered." The best part was: the warrant was only valid within the county and had expired by the time the colonoscopy was performed.

    Postgres has JSON support as of 9.2. Some people say it's faster than MongoDB. There's also plv8 if you want to use javascript for your stored procedures. (since javascript doesn't have integers (only floating point), I'd be a little concerned about that).

  7. Bad news -- it's a glory hole. Still a better use than most tax dollars.

    I counted 279 defects. (60 in the senate, 219 in the HoR). Had but 1 in the senate or 4 in the house been fixed, all this would have been averted. My kingdom for a horse, indeed.

    Fear Not! Diane Feinstein is hard at work writing a new law to reform the NSA. And by "reform", I mean "retro-actively legalize everything they did, Constitution be damned."

    You are aware that the Director of the NSA is Keith Alexander, an active duty 4-star general in the US Army, right? If you look at the previous NSA Directors, you'll probably notice a curious pattern.

  11. Let them eat cake! on Electric Cars: Drivers Love 'Em, So Why Are Sales Still Low? · · Score: 1

    If you're asking the question, you probably don't realize how utterly clueless it is.

    Consider the case of a great princess. When told that the peasants were starving and had no bread, she suggested they eat cake instead.

    There are two obvious reasons (and every other comments makes them so I'll refrain). But if you live in a bubble, yes, you probably wonder why everyone doesn't buy an electric car.

    Bet lost! He gets more pussy than an animal shelter. More ass than a toilet at a diarrhea convention. He's basically a chess rockstar and parties like one, too. A lot of the older chess players hate him for that. "Disrespecting the game". Sure, but he smoked you like a smoked a joint.

    Let's say you're using C on an x86. float (32-bit) and double (64-bit) are well defined. However, the x86 FPU internally uses long double (80-bit).

    So if you do some math on a float or a double, the results can vary depending on if it was done as 80-bit or if the intermediaries were spilled and truncated back to 64/32 bit.

    Was it also a BUG in Google's documentation when they stated that they didn't track Safarai users?

    "In Google's case, the findings appeared to contradict some of Google's own instructions to Safari users on how to avoid tracking. Until recently, one Google site told Safari users they could rely on Safari's privacy settings to prevent tracking by Google." source

    There was also a second butt bomber ("body cavity" to the prudes at the New York Times) in Afghanistan. It caused "severe abdominal wounds" to both of them, if you want to understate the fate of the suicider.

    Perhaps the next advancement in "body cavity" bombs is goatse-ing the victim?
