    So there is justice!

  2. "Shooting" is such an ugly term... on Donald Trump: America Should Consider "Closing the Internet Up In Some Way" (dailydot.com) · · Score: 1

    Please instead use the politically correct term "interpersonal ballistic event", or IBE.

  3. Re:Is there a downside to upgrading to 10? on Microsoft Will Resume Pushing Windows 10 To Machines With Win7, 8.1 (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    mod parent up. i personally feel that second amendment rights are basically this: the government cannot force you to surrender your flintlock or musket.

  8. Re:Coincedence or crisis of conscience? on Speaker of the House Boehner Announces Resignation · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Boehner is a devout Catholic. Boehner invited the Pope to speak before Congress. During the Pope's address to the Congress, an address that specifically rebuked many Republican stances* Boehner has supported, Boehner was visibly crying.

    Boehner has invited THREE Popes to speak before Congress. It is something he has hoped to facilitate for many years. He finally succeeded, and I suspect that was a greater source of his emotion than any sort of crisis of conscience you may imagine.

  9. Re:Government shutdown ahoy on Speaker of the House Boehner Announces Resignation · · Score: 3, Insightful

    A large and increasing portion of Americans realize that their financial health is threatened by immigrants and their very existence is threatened by Muslim terrorists. They also realize that Democrats are encouraging these dangerous things. Tea Partiers, Republicans generally, and anyone not suicidal or delusional will vote for the most pro-America, pro-freedom candidate they can find.

    A large and increasing portion of Americans realize that their financial health is hardly threatened by fruit & vegetable pickers and that their very existence is scarcely threatened by terrorists of any ilk. They also realize that fear-mongering Republicans are encouraging these calculated lies. Your day of reckoning is rapidly approaching.

  10. Re:Now barbie is scary too. on Barbie Gets a Brain · · Score: 1
    You didn't read the article, did you?

    whatever someone said to Barbie would be recorded and transmitted via Wi-Fi to the computer servers of ToyTalk. Speech-recognition software would then convert the audio signal into a text file, which would be analyzed. The correct response would be chosen from thousands of lines scripted by ToyTalk and Mattel writers and pushed to Hello Barbie for playback — all in less than a second.

  17. dumb on The Death of Aibo, the Birth of Softbank's Child-Robot · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is the dumbest post I've seen on Dicedot.

  18. Bah! Media! on SF86 Data Captured In OPM Hack · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So, what exactly do they mean by "breach". Someone got into some systems? Once there, did they take copies of data? That's a lot of data. Why didn't anyone see the mass exodus of gigabytes? The weasel worded breathless media reports are just dripping with a lack of specificity and reek of "omg phear the evil hackerz!" - they feel more designed to generate fear than inform. I view the whole thing with a jaundiced, skeptical eye.

  19. facebook link no problem on Anti-TPP Website Being Blacklisted · · Score: 1

    Does Facebook and Twitter and such scan for links to domains blocked by spam lists?

    i just posted a link on facebook no problem.

  20. Re: Such a nice, sugary story.... on Disney Making Laid-Off US Tech Workers Train Foreign H1-B Replacements · · Score: 0

    Just because Captialism 101 says that all actors in an economy will act responsibly (yes I know the wording is assume but for all intensive purposes it may as well demand it, people assume that their own irresponsible actions are insignificant), does not make it so.

    For all intents and purposes, Habeeb speaks better english than you.

  21. Re:Canada and Mexico on Dropbox Moves Accounts Outside North America To Ireland · · Score: 1

    looks like you have exactly ONE connection to Europe, and guess where it also connects?

  25. Re:Oh look, it's the Java killer... on Microsoft Open Sources CoreCLR, the .NET Execution Engine · · Score: -1, Troll

    Uhh, okay. What would you want to happen then? Would you like Microsoft to keep releasing open source or stop releasing open source?

    I would like Microsoft to crawl off in a corner and die alone.
