  1. I can confirm that it does crash skype. Gotta say, I'm pretty impressed with the stupidity involved in allowing that bug to survive.

  2. First Post on Mini Gaming PCs — Promising, But Not Ready · · Score: 1

    Machine sounds sucky!

  3. Re:Please.... on Google Sued Over Children's In-App Android Purchases · · Score: 1

    I think a bigger question is what kind of kids steal from their parents?
    If I wanted I could have ordered pay per view movies from the time I was 12 without my parents permission, or ordered shit on amazon with 1 click.
    This is quite simply a parenting and trust issue, rather than a tech issue.

    and a 5 year old is fully aware that by clicking a button that says he wants more blue crystals or whatever the fuck that they are spending their parents money?

    You would of thought that who ever accepted it to be posted would of read TFA article and realised it was a crock.

  9. From TFA on Australian Teen Reports SQL Injection Vulnerability, Company Calls Police · · Score: 3, Informative

    "Update 1.9.14: Rogers confirmed to WIRED that the vulnerability he found was a SQL-injection vulnerability. He says the police have not contacted him and that he only learned he’d been reported to the police from the journalist who wrote the story for The Age."

    HE DID NOT GET ARRESTED. Clearly who ever posted this story can't read.

  10. Re:Fuck religion. on US Justice Blocks Implementation of ACA Contraceptive Mandate · · Score: 1

    Oh you mean after once side they used a bunch parliamentary tricks to limit debate, ultimately abusing budget reconciliation to prevent amendments to the bill, that democratic process?

    Face it the leftists did everything they possibly could within the rules to ram the thing thru because that was the only way it was getting through.

    Is someone feeling a bit of butt hurt that a majority voted for something and it got up?

  11. Nuns on the pill? on US Justice Blocks Implementation of ACA Contraceptive Mandate · · Score: 1

    Is that what the religious hierarchy is afraid off? That some of their members might request the pill. Perhaps they'd rather nuns who get pregnant throw the offspring down wells like they've always done.

  12. "Ministry of Culture" on Battlefield 4 Banned In China · · Score: 5, Funny

    Someone needs to tell these idiots that 1984 wasn't meant to be a manual.

    You're certainly displaying quite a bit of butt hurt. Do you do that every time your side doesn't win at something?

    Ask the public in a totalitarian state, how public-minded their governments are.

  15. Re:Hangings on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 1

    Some times people deserve capital punishment. I am not saying in most of the cases that we do it they deserve it, but someone who is an un-remorseful mass murderer should be put to death. The tax payer should not be liable to keep them alive, or let them free to kill again.

    Whether some people deserve it or not is irrelevant, given that is not demonstrated as the criterion taken into account for people who are sentenced to death. The criterion taken into account, as demonstrated by statistics, is race and socioeconomic background.

  16. Re:Dead Wrong on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 1

    That's dead wrong!!!!!!!!!!

    fp ftw

    Dead wrong for a country to take a moral stance that affects others overseas? Do you mean like the US government having as a condition of funding aid agencies in Africa, that they not educate about the use of condoms in Africa?

  17. Re:Conspiracy! on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 1

    Yes, the American hospital system is insanely expensive. Although I don't think the source of the income for that system is the reason it is so expensive. Rather, US regulation is.

    It's also worth noting many of those countries (eg: Canada) refuse to permit a patient access to non-government-approved medicine. No, I'm not saying the hospital won't let you have cocaine to ease the pain, I'm saying expensive cancer drugs are banned because they would increase healthcare costs to US levels:

    http://www.fraserinstitute.org/research-news/news/display.aspx?id=18745

    Australia has a socialised health care system where everyone earning above $19,404 per annum pays into it. That system provides better outcomes for the whole of the population (not just the rich who can afford adequate cover) at under half the cost of the US per capita.

  19. Re: Your sig on MS Targets Google With Another Smear Campaign · · Score: 1

    The sig is mainly aimed at leftists who frequently call libertarians conservative in spite of the fact that they want to end the drug war, promote equal protection under the law including marriage equality, end interventionary foreign policy, reform immigration, etc. etc.

    There's really nothing conservative about libertarians at all, they hate almost everything about the status quo.

    What is conservative about Libertarians is their economics. Giving more freedom to capital entrenches the status quo.
