  1. Re:Gun Registry on FAA Sued Over Federal Drone Registry (technical.ly) · · Score: 0

    If the constitution was written for a reason, there has to be a reason for the things that are in it.

    If it wasn't written for a reason then you don't need a reason to change it.

  2. Anyone else on The Smog-Sucking Tower Has Arrived in China (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Anyone else read the title and think we were back to the good old days of $699 licensing fees?

    Provide citation/links where they "make the mistake of commenting on the story" or of them "announcing their nefarious plans in public".

  4. They have one doubt on WhatsApp Won't Comply With India's Order To Delete User Data (engadget.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    They have one doubt about the needful?

  5. As for UPS, well, it's like that other common brown thing - it stinks, and nobody likes it

    Tata Consulting?

  6. If there's one thing Jeff Bezos isn't afraid of - it's spending other people's money to make money for himself.

    FTFY.

  7. Second, physical force has nothing to do with tracking your location and call records.

    Of course it does. How can you beat people up if you don't know where they are?

    More like a fapping app.

    If you saw a flag with swastikas on it in the context of a Hindu temple what would you think? Assuming you thought at all...

    This and similar stories get up voted in the firehose. Not by "SJWs" or whatever, by people who want to have an angry rant about it.

    Do you have any actual proof of that?

  11. Actually, FedEx and UPS are bit players. USPS is the big gorilla in the room.

    Not in my room, nor about 190 other rooms.

  12. Use landmines. Protip: use low powered ones in order to reduce unnecessary damage to your goods.

  13. the rest of the metric world uses cent or some derivative...

    I'm not sure the two things are connected. What does Pfennig sound like to you? It was in play long after the huns switched to metric.

    The way things are going, it might be back soon.

  14. On my browser it came up as "bought loads of shoes".

  15. Arse Tucknickers full of DeVry MBAs on Amazon Looking To Abandon UPS, FedEx In Favor of Its Own Delivery Service (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    It makes sense that Amazon would want to sell, ship, and deliver orders on its own. The report estimates that the company spent $11.5 billion on shipping just last year, amounting to 10.8 percent of sales.

    It doesn't necessarily make sense at all.

    An airline might spend a third of its revenue on POL, but that doesn't mean it "makes sense" to dig wells & build a refinery.

  16. Re:hey, it's still a superlative... on Elon Musk: First Humans Who Journey To Mars Must 'Be Prepared To Die' (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    You think he'd survive the trip?

  17. How many stories about George Washington have there been in the last few weeks? The novelty wears off after a couple of centuries. Hopefully.

  18. Disks? It probably uses cassettes!

  19. Thanks for bringing that to our attention, Poindexter.

  20. "Breading" does not mean making bread, you big-nosed pillock.

  21. You mean ordinary pleb customers get the slower shipping. They aren't exactly equivalent.

    'Safe' Samsung Galaxy Note 7 Explodes in China

    I don't see the contradiction. Then again, I'm nowhere near China.
