  1. Re: Nobel Peace Prize Winner on Two Koreas Agree To End War This Year, Pursue Denuclearization (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Scott Adams as in the "delusional" author whose predictions keep coming TRUE. Maybe his model of reality is better than yours. I looked up what Adams said about fossils and it appears that another thing he has said is true: his critics mine the past to find things to dismiss him for but don't bother to actually listen to what he has said, and so, are forced to simply make shit up.

  2. Because of Trump's sanctions, Kim has only three choices open to himself: (1) attack the US or South and die the same day, (2) ride his Communist economy down to zero without the outside world and be killed by his own people within two years, or (3) become a globe-trotting elite rock star who oversees the strongest growth his people have ever known. Which would you choose? "Wow" is a tell-tale sign of cognitive dissonance.

  3. Re:Thank you Dennis Rodman! on Two Koreas Agree To End War This Year, Pursue Denuclearization (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    No, you're supposed to believe that Obama set this all up in perfect stealth mode over a year ago, or that Hillary should get the credit because this would have spontaneously happened on her watch while she was continuing Obama's failed policies.

    Trump also got serious about punishing the Chinese corporations that were supplying North Korea in defiance of the sanctions. Just ask ZTE. It's truly bizarre how deluded some people are about what actually happened here. Watch some Scott Adams videos if you want to know about the courtship ritual between Trump and Kim and the choices left open to Kim. While the lunatics were screeching WW3, Scott was explaining how there'd be peace pretty soon.

  5. Re:Meh on 8K TVs Are Coming, But Don't Buy the Hype (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    Since 7680 = "8K", "16K" will be 15,360 pixels, which rounds down to "15K". Maybe they'll stop vastly exceeding human vision at "8K" before getting sued.

  6. The court probably realizes that its ass is in a sling after being exposed as 99.97% rubber-stampers and as election-spying enablers and is now trying to pretend that they are actually doing what they are supposed to do -- scrutinizing requests for abuse.

  7. Totally true, if "Objectionable Videos" = "Mainstream conservative political opinion".

  8. Sanctions with actual teeth is why North Korea is in the process of negotiating denuclearization. Supply NK, get the Corporate Death Sentence.

  9. Re:Is there some real science behind it? on AI Helps Grow 6 Billion Roaches at China's Largest Breeding Site (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Since this is all fake, why can't they just make a chemical that smells and tastes like the cockroach potion, obviating the need to raise cockroaches? Or call it "new and improved" flavor and just make it taste like an existing candy.

  10. Re:Throw this scum in jail on A Florida Man Has been Accused of Making 97 Million Robocalls (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Sentence him to 97-million consecutive jail terms of one minute each, to make up for the people's time he has wasted.

  11. An "investor" is simply a person who isn't stupid enough to spend every penny they make.

  12. Re:Because of Climate Change? on Ocean Current That Keeps Europe Warm Is Weakening Because of Climate Change (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sounds like the Atlantic Decadal Oscillation is right on schedule. Let's hope the Pacific Decadal Oscillation and 400-year solar minimum don't cause another mini ice-age like they did last time. That would be a real black eye for the climate alarmists big plans for the money borrowed on your back.

  13. Wait for 20 rings and then hang up.

  14. Will the guards be armed with muskets like Chelsea Handler's bodyguards?

  15. Now PETA has more mass shooters than the NRA.

  16. Re:Self, lesser or no self? on Breakthrough Study Reveals How LSD Dissolves a Person's Sense of Self (newatlas.com) · · Score: 2

    A billionaire who nails lots of hot chicks. Yeah, it must be so awful for him...

  17. Re:How's that $15/hr min wage working for you? on Flippy the Robot Takes Over Burger Duties At California Restaurant (ktla.com) · · Score: 1

    No problem, they'll just raise the new minimum wage to $20/hr!

  18. Re:Bad Political Statements? on Silicon Valley Is Over, Says Silicon Valley (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    A "liberal" supports free speech. A "leftist" wants to take away free speech from others.

  19. Flurry of lawsuits = last gasp, dying company.

  20. Security theoreticians on GitHub Drops Support for Weak Cryptographies, Adds Emojis for Labels (github.com) · · Score: 1

    The security theoreticians are making the world a lot less secure and functional. Systems should maintain support for these compromised methods but have connections negotiate the best security available. Because old, unmainted systems remain in service and when a secure connection fails, they fall back to using plain text instead. Or just plain fail. I've been struggling with this in upgrading our company's email server.

  21. Re:No dollars for oil? on Venezuela Launches Oil-Backed Cryptocurrency (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    It would be better for the US for the US to stay out of it. The world needs a shining beacon of what happens when people vote for a Marxist utopia. No take-backs!

  22. Or, we could always wait for AI to actually start causing big employment dislocations before voluntarily bankrupting every developed country with a Basic Income or the like.

  23. Re:Call housekeeping, Vlad on US Charges Russian Social Media Trolls Over Election Tampering (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I doubt Putin will even care about any of this penny-ante crap. If he wanted to own a candidate, he would have just donated 0.1% of his personal wealth to the Clinton Foundation.

  24. Re:The Moscovian Candidate on US Charges Russian Social Media Trolls Over Election Tampering (cnet.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Getting Hillary to do anything you want is just one donation to the Clinton Foundation away.

  25. If 7 figures can beat Hillary's ten-figure campaign budget, then all future campaigns will spend seven figures and pocket the rest!
