  1. Re:As usual ... on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    I can see from your attitude you're from Quebec.

  2. Re:Fucking Americans on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    Webster's Unabridged: (world)
    20. : a planet or other celestial body; especially : one that is inhabited and the scene of interests analogous to those of earth dwellers.

    That's as close as it gets and no, the moon does not qualify.

    Plastic only in the sense of its consistency. Your description of it's manufacture is bull.

  4. Re:Institutionalized Prejudice on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 2

    Thank you for that nice novelette utterly devoid of detail and completely supporting one side of the debate, submitted anonymously.

    Although less strident that the usual SocSci puppeting, it follows the same boilerplate: I'm (race to disparage), I'm (class to disparage) and I've gotten (cause supporting). So, since I match that demographic I can tell you that whatever *you* are saying isn't true but your delusions, for I suffer none of my own.

    I'll follow the whole thing with a caveat that, though I am of the disparaged demographic now, I indeed started at the other end of the scale and so I can speak for those people *as well*. Leaving this discussion with me conveniently providing both sides.

    Sprinkle lightly with Marxism at the end.

  5. Re:"equal treatment" on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 1

    Meaning all you have to do is imagine that they were and you'd enforce some equalization to benefit your cause célÃbre. Unless of course, you mean *proving* said steerage with evidence. Is that what you meant, a "beyond a shadow of a doubt" thing instead of "going by my gut feelings"?

  6. Re:This thread will be a sewer of misogyny on WA Bill Takes Aim at Boys' Dominance In Computer Classes · · Score: 1

    No, but good attempt at "look over there".

  7. Re:Interesting Development on Police Stations Increasingly Offer Safe Haven For Craigslist Transactions · · Score: 1

    "Trust is a required ingredient for any business." No it isn't. I can and have made business dealings with no thought of trusting my opposite at all. That's what contracts are all about.

    I see the SJW's are out in force spewing BS 'facts' from their pie holes.

    In the lobby? Right. YAAFM

  10. Re:Thus confirming existing opinions: on ESA: No Conclusive Evidence of Big Bang Gravitational Waves · · Score: 0

    I believe you misread. They're not saying *science* is a sham, they're saying *these guys* (generic) were a sham. Sometimes they *do* hang on to bad ideas for that research money. If you deny that, you're saying scientists are not prone to human foible.

    And, with the size of the expense, it's valid to weigh whatever benefits may possibly come against said expense. It's a noteworthy point that the money is seldom, if ever, out of the scientist's pocket.

  11. Re:Is it just me? on The Quantum Experiment That Simulates a Time Machine · · Score: 1

    How about, like QM, it simply doesn't work on the macro level? That while the photon may have been looped back in time (although another explanation might be forthcoming), massive objects cannot.

  12. Re:Not really. on Gamma-ray Bursts May Explain Fermi's Paradox · · Score: 1

    Nicely done. That kind of self-loathing crap is always irritating to come across.

  13. Re:A scientific hypothesis is not a guess on How Do We Know the Timeline of the Universe? · · Score: 1

    "Calling theories"... Hypothesis was used in the quote. In fact "theory" doesn't appear at all. So you're arguing against some other statement.

    "... the simple fact is that much of the modern world would simply not work if the words "hypothesis" and "guess" were equivalent." Incorrect. Reality doesn't give a crap how words are used. You apparently do and are taking umbrage. Fine, just don't act like what you're writing is fact. It isn't.

    "... rather than mysticism and magical thinking." Or hypothesis.

  15. Re:Middle wheel/button seems to work ok, no? on Ask Slashdot: Where Can You Get a Good 3-Button Mouse Today? · · Score: 1

    Got nothin' to do with bein' an old timer. My gaming mouse has a clickable scroll wheel and a set of twelve side buttons. It's simply a can't adapt thing.

  16. Re:Yawn ... on Eric Schmidt: Our Perception of the Internet Will Fade · · Score: 2

    Bad phrasing on your part. There is no incremental cost of enabling IoT on a device. There is replacing said device. I'm past 60. I still have my grandmother's waffle iron and it works fine, cotton wrapped cord and all. Many, many things have lifespans that will make the IoT very difficult to integrate into a current someone's life without great expense and waste and so they simply won't. The "ubiquitous" IoT will be late this century at best.

    That understanding was based on a scare program. The truth is quite the opposite.

    Ghost it. Besides, your translation is just a manifestation of your supposition, not what will happen.

    Pajama Boy and posse aren't very in sync either, you know.

  21. Do you honestly believe that having a higher commit count indicates anything at all about "playing well with others"? From the article:

    We measure team productivity by the number of commits by team developers recorded in either the main repository or any of its forks in a given quarter.

    It could just as easily be argued that it indicates sloppy technique or a battle of egos.

    You are incorrect. Patents and copyrights done on your own time and not relating to company assets are yours.
