  1. While American schools teach self esteem on Estonia To Teach Programming In Schools From Age 6 · · Score: 1

    Because you've got to work really hard at being this awful at education. But we're trying.

  2. Great now Sprint will suck even harder on Sprint Allows LTE Service Over Mobile Virtual Network · · Score: -1, Troll

    Sprint's rollout of LTE is bullshit and now it will suck harder as bulk subscribers gobble up what tiny bandwidth Sprint has. Once again Sprint the Ponzi Scheme fucks us.

  3. As long as you're not a Sprint customer on Taking Telecommuting To the Next Level - the RV · · Score: 1

    Which has essentially no 4G. Of course even if you're a Verizon customer, the normal workaday load on 4G is going to bankrupt you.

  4. Drunk drivers are drunk the whole trip on Why Cell Phone Bans Don't Work · · Score: 1

    Cell phone users are not distracted through 100% of the trip. That's the key difference. Drunk drivers aren't drunk for 5 minutes out of their 30 minute ride. They're drunk the whole ride.

  5. Round up the children who post all day @ Alternet.org. They're even worse.

  6. So will all the Mexicans go back home now? on Near-universal Mexican Healthcare Coverage Results From Science-informed Changes · · Score: 2

    Sounds like a better deal for them there than here.

  7. Flying is still a thrill on When Flying Was a Thrill · · Score: 1

    If your plane isn't cancelled or you're not bumped or it gets to where it's supposed to less than 5 hrs late, it's amazing.

  8. Not to worry on Kasparov Arrested By Russian Police · · Score: -1, Troll

    The radical leftist press, e.g. alternet and the Huffington Post will of course either ignore this or suddenly decide to defend Putin. Why?

    He's not a rocker chick
    He's a Jew.

  9. Still not good enough for IBM internal use on DOJ Says iPhone Is So Secure They Can't Crack It · · Score: 1

    Which is neither here nor there, just another anal retentive proclamation from Big Blue.

  10. Re:I aim for the stars on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 2

    This wasn't as successful as von Braun.

  11. Not if you're Time Warner on US Adoption of 10 Mbps+ Broadband Nearly Doubles In a Year · · Score: 1

    7Mbps is super mega premium golly gee whiz you can watch every Twilight movie simultaneously I can't fucking believe what a great deal you're getting right now, sir, service.

  12. I aim for the stars on NASA Morpheus Lander Test Ends In Explosion · · Score: 5, Funny

    Sometimes I hit the parking lot.

  13. SSD makers got greedy on Are SSD Accelerators Any Good? · · Score: 2

    The cost benefit of SSD's barely makes sense - the makers got greedy and decided to tack absurd price premiums on their gear far in excess of their benefit. And they've stayed there.

  14. A market opportunity for Sprint on AT&T Killing Its 2G Network By 2017 · · Score: 1

    Not to offer them 3G or 4G service mind you, but to move them all over to Sprint's for shit zero-G network.

  15. Hello my name is "Max" on India Plans Mars Mission in 2013 · · Score: 1

    How may I be helping you with your spaceflight issue today?

  16. If it's the BBC on Images Show Apollo Moon Flags Still Standing · · Score: 1

    Then they've decided to condemn the Capitalist Zionist illegal occupation of the Moon and therefore condemn Israel and Jews in general.

  17. Huffington Post science writer? on Why You Should Be More Interested In Mars Than the Olympics · · Score: 1

    Let me guess, it's the GOP and/or Israel's fault.

  18. As others note here: NOT Safes on How a 3-Year-Old Can Open a Gun Safe · · Score: 1

    They're cheap sheet metal locking boxes. A SAFE, a real safe, first of all a three year old couldn't lift and drop on its corner.

  19. Today though the FAA wouldn't care about noise on Flight 4590 Didn't Kill the Concorde; Costs Did · · Score: 1

    You'd be hard pressed to overcome the lobbying money used to get permission to run the Concorde all over the US morning noon and night at Mach 2. Tickets would be TWICE the price now as they were before and every flight would be 100% booked months in advance. Hedge funds don't run themselves, you know.

  20. There's no point to it on NASA's First New Spacesuit In 20 Years Is Its Own Airlock · · Score: 0

    Since manned spaceflight is essentially over. Once the ISS deorbits, manned spaceflight will be over except for a few national pride flights by the Chinese, India and possibly Japan. I'm sure if NASA wants to hang some new suits in the Smithsonian they get them off the rack in Hong Kong.

  21. 75% of help desk work is ID admin on Are Indian High Schoolers Manning Your IBM Help Desk? · · Score: 1

    3/4ths of first calls to help desks are for ID admin issues. It doesn't take a rocket surgeon to do that.

  22. Does it come in pink? on US Army Developing Armor Tailored For Females · · Score: 1

    And does it have a baby sling built in? Seriously though about 1 out of 7 people in the Armed Forces are rifle toting grunts. Most people and that includes almost all women work in maintaining trucks, logistical support, paperwork and such.

  23. On the services side on Father of SSH Says Security Is 'Getting Worse' · · Score: 1

    No one cares about security. They cover everything with contract language but only to the extent that they could be hit with fines. Beyond that, customers literally do not give a fuck about security anymore. Not if it costs a nickel. And when it does, 4.9999 cents of that nickel goes into excruciatingly dense reporting which no one, NO ONE, ever reads.

    Once the IT industry was taken over my lawyers and accountants, it's been downhill into a pool of shit since.

  24. If they go away on Latest Netflix Earnings Report Mixed · · Score: 1

    We can look forward to rapacious bullshit from the cable companies to empower the fuck out of all of us. Time Warner would jack their prices day one, reduce their on-demand services and move that whole catalog to pay per view.

  25. Welcome to GREEN America on Would You Trust an 80-Year-Old Nuclear Reactor? · · Score: 1

    Putting the brakes on all upgrades, improvements and replacements of all nuclear plants for almost 40 years and guess what? The old plants were kept running because all the green hippie trust fund liberals weren't about to go without the electricity they provided either.

    So good luck with that.
