    Pedantry is just another name for nothin' left to say.

  2. Re:No surprise at all on The Rise of Hoax News · · Score: 1

    Yes, because assuming that *your* take on culture is intellectually superior to someone else's is *so* soundly based on fact and logic. Pompous ass.

    I wonder how many peer reviewed papers he has had published?

  4. Re:How the invisible hand of the market ... on France's 'Culture Tax' Could Hit YouTube and Facebook · · Score: 1

    That's what it is, an "import tax", the vidéos are "imported" through the Internet....

    Good thing you put air-quotes around those words, otherwise we couldn't recognize the double-think claptrap as satire.

  5. Re:Classic France on France's 'Culture Tax' Could Hit YouTube and Facebook · · Score: 1

    When the French log in and view something from another country, that is not a business doing business in France. There's no rational reason for that business to pay a stipend to the French for the French logging in.

    What the hell was your point?

  7. Re:Not Culture on France's 'Culture Tax' Could Hit YouTube and Facebook · · Score: 1

    You get more stability that way, and lower prices at the price of more taxes.

    European countries aren't exactly supporting your statement. Also, lower prices, lowered by more taxes, are the same or greater prices.

    They want to produce cultural content for their own country? Produce it with their own money.

  10. Re:Wasting Your Time on Ask Slashdot: Will You Start Your Kids On Classic Games Or Newer Games? · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure he was referring to the age of the kids, not "kids today". Younger children actually don't have those skills. Frontal lobe development takes off around seven, hence the Greeks referring to that age as the age or reasoning.

  11. Re: Nonsense. on Internet Commenting Growing Away From Anonymity · · Score: 1

    "(because being anonymous is a protection for the weak...)" Really? Historically, the KKK would disagree.

    I don't think you understand exactly what an SSN is, nor what it's for.

    Actually, you haven't displayed any understanding either, only snark.

    No one is obliged to cater to your desires. If you desire to comment, register. If you do not wish to register, you don't want to comment that badly.

  14. Re:Whatever on Internet Commenting Growing Away From Anonymity · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Seriously, sometimes it's like 4chan without pictures over there.

    That's because 4chan is a virulent disease.

  15. Re:The desire for people to be fearful on Internet Commenting Growing Away From Anonymity · · Score: 0

    Pretty much all arguments against online anonymity boil down to the desire for people to feel fear.

    Do not project onto others what you believe them to believe. Just because *you* want rampant douchery in comment sections doesn't mean everyone else does.

    Get what I did there? If that's not what you think, perhaps you need to expand your views of others.

  16. Re:why not just ignore? on Internet Commenting Growing Away From Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Why should they have to ignore them? I have little sympathy for the support of online douches.

    No. Yes.

    And it's a criminal accident to the tune of over 600M now. There is no excuse.

    A Swiss friend of mine visited DC. I live in So Mo. We chatted on the phone and he suggested we get together for lunch the next day. So, I agreed and told him the city in Virgina we could meet in after driving eleven hours.

    They're no better with our geo than we are with theirs.

  20. Re:Give the developers a break! on How Healthcare.gov Changed the Software Testing Conversation · · Score: 2

    Conservatives constantly point out how excessive regulation makes doing business difficult. Well it makes things difficult on the government, too. Let's be fair.

    Isn't that rather like saying "Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, have compassion on my client. By killing his parents he became an orphan."?

    Not relevant. Scientists are not above any of the baser instincts of humanity. Recall the Bell Labs debacle. That included published findings.
