  1. FTFY on An Argument For Not Taking Down Horrific Videos · · Score: 1

    Charlie Booker had a good analysis on why you're wrong. It has nothing to do with freedom of speech. https://www.youtube.com/watch?...

  2. Re:Show me my doppelgangers! on Facebook Will Soon Be Able To ID You In Any Photo · · Score: 1

    Facebook, Facebook, what's on my Wall. Who's the fairest of them all?

  3. Re:Simple solution on Police Organization Wants Cop-Spotting Dropped From Waze App · · Score: 1

    Stop speeding.

    Other than that, I don't think the police have the right to complain about the public monitoring their behaviour. Corruption only grows in the dark.

  4. Re:Temba, at rest on Google Aims To Be Your Universal Translator · · Score: 1

    Sokath, his eyes open.

  5. I turned off the ads on utorrent on French Publishers Prepare Lawsuit Against Adblock Plus · · Score: 1

    I turned off the ads on utorrent after a particularly salacious ad featured a lingerie clad derrière of a young woman squatting over a golden egg. It literally looked like she had just shat a golden egg. Not an image I want when I'm downloading Gravity Falls.

    And then there's the stupid video, and voice ads that pop up, and takes me forever to figure out how to turn off. I'm sick of having cocks, and boobs waved in my face when all I want to do is look at a comic. Thank Dawkins I don't have any kids. I don't know how I'd explain that egg ad to them.

  6. Ban Disney movies on Programmer Father Asks: What Gets Little Girls Interested In Science? · · Score: 2

    and buy ear muffs for the inevitable screaming.

  7. Re:quick notes? on Finland Dumps Handwriting In Favor of Typing · · Score: 1

    How fast can you draw a diagram on a computer? Will it look roughly like what you're copying? Would you have be able to do it faster, and more accurate than you would have by hand?

  8. Re:How many meat-people would pass the Lovelace te on Upgrading the Turing Test: Lovelace 2.0 · · Score: 1

    That's easy to solve. Shoot the bears that are wearing neck ties.

  9. I'm sick of this shit. on Imagining the Future History of Climate Change · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Seriously, I'm sick of scientist being blamed for crap. Especially when they've been warning about global warming from http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/H...> the 1970s and there's been consensus since the eighties.

    You want someone to blame? Blame the fossil fuel special interests groups that taken up, and refined the tactics of big tobacco. Blame the billionaires that fund conspiracy theorists, and wack-a-doodle that muddies the debate. Blame the hair brain bloggers that have made a living out character assassination, and hysterical invective against the scientist that are trying to communicate their findings to the public.

    These are the arseholes you should blame. Not the scientists.

  10. We'll protect you if you give up your freedom on Brits Must Trade Digital Freedoms For Safety, Says Crime Agency Boss · · Score: 1

    But who will protect us from you.

  11. Re:Another Stark dies on Statistician Creates Mathematical Model To Predict the Future of Game of Thrones · · Score: 1

    Right. My first reaction to reading the headline was, "You fool, you've doomed them all."

  12. Landslides the size of Paris on Underwater Landslide May Have Doubled 2011 Japanese Tsunami · · Score: 1

    But how many libraries of Congress was that?

  13. Satire is not trolling on Web Trolls Winning As Incivility Increases · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The role of satire is to comfort the afflicted by afflicting the comfortable, or so Doonesbury said. Trolling does not do that. It is either cheap attention grabbing for shit and giggles, or more often, an attempt to intimidate a certain group of people into leaving the Internet.

    If you disagree then explain to me the subtle social commentary of posting photoshopped pictures of Robin Williams' body to his daughter. Or bombarding a feminist website with gore, and rape porn.

    The majority of trolling these days is about bullying people of opposing viewpoints into submission. They only seek their victims' attention in order to affect that.

  14. Re:That's not an Orion... on A Look At NASA's Orion Project · · Score: 3, Interesting

    An awesomely hilarious demonstration of said Orion pulse drive

  15. I beg to differ. on Pedophile Asks To Be Deleted From Google Search After European Court Ruling · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I don't see how a conviction for possessing child porn is irrelevant or outdated. So I don't like his chances.

  16. Re:Buggy whips on London Black Cabs Threaten Chaos To Stop Uber · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Dude, considering the number of times GPS units send people driving into the ocean, or down a train tunnel, I think it's going to be a while before robotic cars are going to be safer than humans.

    I really don't see how Uber are going to be protecting customers. Do they require background/criminal/driving history checks on their drivers? Do they require require vehicle inspections to determine how safe your car is? There a plethora of other requirements that I can't think of that I know have been address on other threads.

  17. Simpsons did it on Lying Eyes: Cyborg Glasses Simulate Eye Expressions · · Score: 1

    Fantastic. I could wear it during jury duty. And no one would know I was asleep.

  18. Pity no one read the article on Leonard Nimoy: Smoking Is Illogical · · Score: 1

    It says right there in the first sentence that he stopped smoking 30 years ago. I guess some people got swept away by their righteous smugness.

  19. Spy Hunter on British Spies To Be Allowed To Break Speed Limit · · Score: 1

    They're not only allowed to speed, but they can now legally deploy oil slicks, and smoke exhausts against other motorists. But only if they're playing the theme to Peter Gunn really loudly.

  20. Top of the line in utility sports on With Burning Teslas In the News Ford Recalls Almost 140,000 Escapes · · Score: 2

    Unexplanied fires are a matter for the courts.

    Model Ssss- I mean Canyonero.

  21. People use outlook? on Only 25% of Yahoo Staff "Eat Their Own Dog Food" · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    I think most of Yahoo's problems stem from the fact that the hire programmers that use Outlook?

  22. Re:All your accounts are belong to us. on Feedly Forces Its Users To Create Google+ Profiles · · Score: 1

    Why would I make a comment on a youtube video if I didn't want it public? If I wanted to keep it private I'd just email them something like, "Lol funny cat video. Kitty is so funny." Besides, I'm of a certain age where most of my friends aren't on any social network, and don't want to be. And truth be told neither do I.

  23. That's the cover story on Google's Barge Is a Marketing Showroom · · Score: 2

    They're actually trying to raise a Russian sub.

  24. Re:can "do quantum mechanics" at school on Google Sparking Interest To Quantum Mechanics With Minecraft · · Score: 5, Funny

    They've already proven that chickens are simultaneously a wave, and a particle.

  25. Re:The Great Robot-Jellyfish War of 2013 on Unmanned 'Terminator' Robots Kill Jellyfish · · Score: 1

    Unfortunately the jellyfish sent one of their top soliders back in time to protect the mother of the greatest jellyfish general to have ever lived. So we're still screwed.
