  1. The dupe economy on Is The Attention Economy Dying? (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    The dupe ecopnomy is thriving!

  2. Re:cheaper to spotify on More People Bought Physical CDs and Vinyl Than Songs on iTunes Last Year (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    I keep a wind-up gramophone in the basement with a stack of shellac 78s for just that eventuality.

  3. Re:more fragmentation.... on Can the BBC and ITV Challenge Netflix? (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    ITV is an private company.

    I could understand you being confused by an initial h because they're sometimes silent, but come on.

  4. Re:fucking idiots on The Washington Post Decries 'Toxicity' in Videogames (siliconvalley.com) · · Score: 0

    So a guy suffers harassment, doxxing, stalking and death threats but doesn't call the police.

    What good would that do?

    At best they'd ignore it, at worst they'd go round and shoot him.
    " 'spatcher said death threats at this address, ain't that so, Cletus?"
    "Yup, and he was clearly reaching for something, or thinking about it anyway."

  5. One scenario is missing. The bullshit isn't. on Listening To Music May Be Damaging Your Creativity (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, of course you did.

    This was after you were in the Spetsnaz and before you were an astronaut, right?

  6. Re:One scenario is sorely missing on Listening To Music May Be Damaging Your Creativity (newatlas.com) · · Score: 1

    Dolly Parton? Johnny Paycheck? Kraftwerk?

    Out with it, man!

  7. Learn to write on Does Listening to Music Have a Negative Impact on Creativity? (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    However, unlike listening to music, the researchers found 'no significant different' between the group that worked in silence and the group that worked in a noisy library.

    A total train-wreck of a sentence.

  8. Re:AmiMojo is a shameless ChiCom apologist on Does Listening to Music Have a Negative Impact on Creativity? (slashgear.com) · · Score: 1

    If the Indian artillery & airstrikes don't get him first.

  9. Re:Addiction to what? on Tristan O'Tierney, Square Co-Founder, Dies at Age 35 (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 1

    Or a system addict. Never can get enough.

    Mmmm, Doris.

  10. Re:Addiction to what? on Tristan O'Tierney, Square Co-Founder, Dies at Age 35 (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 2

    Anything fatal causes you to stop breathing.

  11. Re:BBC making us pay again and again on Can the BBC and ITV Challenge Netflix? (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 0

    I was annoying

    You still are.

  12. Addiction to what? on Tristan O'Tierney, Square Co-Founder, Dies at Age 35 (sfchronicle.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Summary mentions addiction several times, but doesn't say what to. Was he that famous that we're expected to just know?

  13. Re:Just what we need..... on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Yeah, I suppose they couldn't possibly pass laws about anything else other than tech or that could affect you. *eyeroll*

  14. Re:OK, I guess I'll go on Tech Critics Create Powerful Video Responding To IBM's 'Dear Tech' Ad (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Now I am hearing Iggy Pop's "Lust For Life". Thank you very much.

  15. Re:Neither ad makes any sense to me on Tech Critics Create Powerful Video Responding To IBM's 'Dear Tech' Ad (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    The first link I followed from the rebuttal was to a book titled "Race After Technology: Abolitionist Tools for the New Jim Code".

    I'm not even sure I understand what that means, but I detect a distinct hint of woo-woo.

  16. Re:Not going to work on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Go film some of the anti-vaxxers whose children got sick with perfectly preventable diseases. Make sure to really capture the suffering of those poor children and the misery of the dumb-fuck parents.

    They could equally well interpret it as being God's will, that he wanted some new angels or was testing their faith or something.

    Like that dude who applied for a lot of jobs and was told not to look back but he did and was assaulted by a pillock.

  17. Re:Just what we need..... on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    True, but other people have votes -and theirs count just as much as yours. And votes lead to laws, and laws do affect you.

    Snapnumpty only have to convince one person and they've cancelled you out. Two, and they're ahead.

  18. Re:Freedom! Oh no on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    But (s)he did mention "Freedom! Oh no" in the subject, implying it was an attack on the First Amendment.

    Right. That clearly follows because the word, - nay, the very concept - didn't exist prior to 1776.

  19. Re:Just what we need..... on Amazon Removes Anti-Vaccine Movies After CNN Inquiry (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    You beat me to it.

    I think it was Orwell who warned against using a word in writing that you've overheard the grown-ups saying.

  20. They telecasted what? on Tech Critics Create Powerful Video Responding To IBM's 'Dear Tech' Ad (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    According to the summary they telecasted something that belongs to Oscar, but they didn't say what it was.

    Note that the actual article - probably because it was written by an actual journalist - got it right. MsManisH1B did the needful and "corrected" it.

  21. Re:A sensible requirement for sure on Europe Frightened By US 'Cloud Act', Fearing National Security Risks (straitstimes.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Oh, I totally agree.

    I understood correctly, this will only apply to brown people and ones with big noses, right?

  22. Now, I am not entirely well versed in US law and am certainly not a lawyer,

    You aren't too hot on geography either.

    This is aboot Canada, y'hoser.

  23. I award you zero points, etc. on Periodic Table Turns 150 Years Old (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    Your link may shows that it happens, but that says nowt one way nor t'other on his claim about it not being healthy.

    Your logical fallacy is ignoratio elenchi. On top of that, tha can fuck reyt off.

  24. Re:You're hardly a scholar! on Periodic Table Turns 150 Years Old (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    And it was quite easy to stand on Lavoisier's shoulders, on account of him having no head to get in the way.

  25. Re: The periodic table was published by Mendeleev on Periodic Table Turns 150 Years Old (economist.com) · · Score: 1

    The main reason Lavoisier was hated was that he was a tax collector. In your rather limited world-view shouldn't that make him the socialist?
