  1. Other than being an imbecile... on UK Gov't Launches Public Consultation On Porn-Site Age Checks (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    "bars, amusement centres, casino's, liquor shops"

    Any particular reason why you chose to add exactly one wrong apostrophe to the bit you copied?

  2. Re:Title on End of an Era As Pioneering BBC3 Becomes an Online-Only Station (betanews.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    Yes. Even with death panels pruning out the no-hopers socialised medicine is so expensive that even 2 is stretching the budget.

    And of course all TV channels are government run, which is what happens if everybody doesn't have a gun.

  3. Re:Matching requirements on City of Austin Locked In Regulations Battle With Uber, Lyft · · Score: 1

    Name one rule that applies to taxi's

    How about the one where if there's an s, there has to be an apostrophe before it?

  4. Re:Who's Steven Fry? on 'The Room Had Started To Smell. Really Quite Bad': Stephen Fry Exits Twitter (betanews.com) · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    A pretentious ponce who can dish it out but can't take it.

  5. BATFAs (British Academy of Film and Television Arts)

    Brought to you by DNA (National Dyslexics Association).

  6. Re: Hoax on US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Has Died (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    OMG, that's totally disproportionate!

    Well, it would be if they were percentages of the same thing.

  7. Re:some countries may not mind on DARPA's Robot Ship Slated For April Unveiling (nationaldefensemagazine.org) · · Score: 1

    One of its stated purposes is countering mines, which I'd think would require some sort of weaponry.

    I wouldn't count a wirecutter, an induction coil or a loudspeaker as weapons.

  8. Smokey room, wine & cheap perfume etc. on Even Einstein Doubted His Gravitational Waves (astronomy.com) · · Score: 1

    Even if you tried really hard to pretend you didn't believe there'd be a bit at the back of your mind that did believe - it's what causes you to not forget that you're trying not to believe. Or something.

  9. A = 100,000 (from the article)
    B = 6,000 (from the book of Genesis)

    Divide A by B. Round to the nearest whole number.

  10. Re:No. on Best Way To Mine Bitcoins - Allow Errors! · · Score: 1

    You cannot freely print more gold at will

    Yeah, it's not like you can dig it out of the ground or anything.

    Gold is useful for making jewelry and electronics.

    And lots of other minerals are useful for lots of other things.

  11. I'm as smart as Einstein on Even Einstein Doubted His Gravitational Waves (astronomy.com) · · Score: 1

    The story shows that even when Einstein's wrong, it's because he was already right the first time.

    Unicorns don't exist. Hang on, maybe they do.

    Look everyone, I'm as smart as Einstein!

  12. Re:Diversity and inclusive computer code .. on Brown CS Department Hiring Student Diversity, Inclusion Advocates · · Score: 1

    Are you catually do dim

    [holds up mirror]

  13. Are you being wilfully obtuse, trying to be funny, or are you just genuinely stupid?

    Hint: Per implies division. Division is not commutative. Hence the position of the "per" makes a difference.

  14. Re:Diversity and inclusive computer code .. on Brown CS Department Hiring Student Diversity, Inclusion Advocates · · Score: 1

    Nice strawman. He forgot to explicitly mention that they should be alive too, why didn't you pick up on that?

  15. Re:History Channel's new series: on 'Rogue Scientists' Could Exploit Gene Editing Technology, Experts Warn (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Nah, needs Nazis in it somewhere.

  16. Hoax on US Supreme Court Justice Antonin Scalia Has Died (theguardian.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Netcraft does not confirm it.

  17. Re:Hey, whiplash, can we not have diversity storie on Brown CS Department Hiring Student Diversity, Inclusion Advocates · · Score: 1

    Taking the mean between two opposing sides is not automatically the truth or the correct solution.

    Of course it is.

    Oh, sorry, I thought I was at Wikipedia.

  18. Re:Trusting Nonny on Brown CS Department Hiring Student Diversity, Inclusion Advocates · · Score: 1

    The key phrase is "anonymously-charged".

    Anonymously - the accused doesn't get to face and question the accuser.

    Charged. Which isn't the same as proved.

  19. Re:Free and Fair Trade = More Jobs on Hertz Is Pulling a Disney · · Score: 2

    If he'd blocked it (assuming he even can) you'd be complaining about him interfering with the market.

  20. Re:Gnome... on Fresh Wayland Experiences With Weston, GNOME, KDE and Enlightenment · · Score: 1

    I'd expect fractional releases to fix bugs, but not redo a broken concept.

  21. Copyright holders are worse than the Nazis!

    Can we go home now?

  22. Re:what? on Pwn2Own 2016 Won't Attack Firefox (Because It's Too Easy) (eweek.com) · · Score: 1

    It's a plan to avoid complaints about the UI by not having one.

  23. Re:Again, PR failure but engineering success on Scientists Say Goodbye to Philae Comet Lander (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    The orbiter (Rosetta) worked fine. The lander, not so much. Though it wasn't the total washout that the herp-derp-yerp crowd are claiming.

  24. puff piece on LinkedIn Is Open Sourcing Their Testing Frameworks (github.io) · · Score: 1

    The link doesn't go to anything specific, which leaves me puzzled as to whether this is a framework as in rails or something sort of like a procedure but more conceptual.

    The content is buzzword laden twaddle. I reckon the whole thing is just a puff piece.

  25. good riddance on Google Is Shutting Down Picasa In Favor of Photos (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    I always thought the UI was so dumb and retarded that it must have been done on purpose.
