  1. Re:LOLwut? on Microsoft Quickly Revises "Sexting" Ad For Kin Phone · · Score: -1, Troll

    Making a distinction (with a negative undertone, or in stereotypical ways) based on gender is sexism.

    Not conservatism. Conservatism is a political philosophy that is cautious towards change.

    As opposed to the countryside students who have to pay for the right to study?

  5. What?! on Why Computers Suck At Math · · Score: 5, Insightful

    of 0.1-second ticks since the system was started up. Unfortunately, 0.1 seconds cannot be expressed accurately as a binary number, so when it's shoehorned into a 24-bit register

    All they had to do is use integers, where a value of 1 represents 0.1 s.

  6. Re:Fast is not always best on ARM Stealthily Rising As a Low-End Contender · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately, the processing time that humans are able to discern is divided by two, approximately every two years. So you will need the speed of faster processors -anyway- at one point in the future.

    Not to mention it's multithreaded, ...

    You must have one heck of an internet connection.

  14. Re:MPG is an obsolete measurement on 1000-mph Car Planned · · Score: 1

    Strapping a jet fighter engine to a car isn't considered innovation in my book. If they came up with some new technology or developed something new, I might be impressed.

    I would say that a car that travels faster than any plane on low altitudes is pretty innovative.

    Haha, I bet the one who modded me as a troll actually pre-ordered one. Poor schmuck.

  16. Stupid on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This thing is the dumbest thing ever. Even more useless than the display on the G15 gaming keyboard. Who fricking watches the keys while typing or gaming?! And according to the review typing sucks on this keyboard. WTF? A keyboard that does not allow you to type properly has no reason to exist. And what looney pays $2750 for it?

    Made by idiots, for idiots.

    Flame on!

  19. Oh now we are so much better of on US Bot Herder Admits Infecting 250K Machines · · Score: 1

    With that guy behind bars. I am really feeling secure now that that single person cannot wreak havoc anymore. And by the looks of it, he might end up there for the rest of his life, so nobody has anything to fear from him.

    But what about those who are actually smart? What about those who did not get caught? They will still be able to take advantage of completely insecure pcs. Damn . . .

    Strange how comforting it is to place confidence in the delusion that there is only one bad guy doing this botnetting thing. Of-course, it is so much easier than for instance, to hold all those infected pc onwners responsible for not securing their pcs. Or to hold a certain manufacturer of operating systems responsible for making their product insecure by default.

  22. Stupid symptom fighting on Happiness Is A Warm Electrode · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    If you are unhappy you should do something about your situation (or your perception thereof) rather than having LEDs jammed up your nose.

  23. Karma on SCO Blames Linux For Bankruptcy Filing · · Score: 1

    The slump, McBride said, "has been primarily attributable to significant competition from alternative operating systems, including Linux." McBride listed IBM, Red Hat, Microsoft, and Sun Microsystems as distributors of Linux or other software that is "aggressively taking market share away from Unix."

    Yeah, I remember that one Linux distributor that started to charge random Linux users sixhundred and ninetynine american dollers per CPU that ran the Linux operating system. I mean, no wonder they prefered that over SCO's Unix.

    Er. . . wait.
