  1. 8GB? on Revisiting How Much RAM Is Enough Today For Desktop Computing · · Score: 0

    I'm not a caveman, or an Apple user.

  2. Meh... on AMAgeddon: Reddit Mods Are Locking Up the Site's Most Popular Pages In Protest · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Fuck Reddit. It's turning into a SJW/corporate shit-show. Let it go the way of Digg.

  3. Seriously? on Is Safari the New Internet Explorer? · · Score: 1

    It always has been a twin to IE. It's a pain in the ass in all ways...and not the good kind.

  4. Re:Privacy? on Worker Fired For Disabling GPS App That Tracked Her 24 Hours a Day · · Score: 1

    If she signed any paperwork that consented to the app being installed, she pretty much waived any rights to privacy. The article doesn't specify, but I'm sure she signed something that allowed her employers to do this. Is it an invasion of privacy? No. You can't consent to something, and then revoke consent later on.

  5. Re:Blame it all on our ancestors... on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 1

    Great link! I'm not saying women are inferior, but there is a difference to how men and women view and interact with the world around them. However, there's this belief that we are all fully equal in every way, and to suggest otherwise is misogyny. That's not true. We are different. We need to stop thinking of that difference as being inferior, and just move the hell on.

  6. Re:Blame it all on our ancestors... on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 1

    How is it sexism? Male and female brains and emotions are different, because we evolved for specialized needs. Is it wrong for a person to capitalize on that specialization?

  7. Societal good? on How To Increase the Number of Female Engineers · · Score: 1

    "It may be about reframing the goals of engineering research and curriculums to be more relevant to societal needs. It is not just about gender equity — it is about doing better engineering for us all." Well, Nilsson is correct, in part. It's not about gender equality. It's about reorganizing an entire field of study to cater to a targeted group. That is not gender equality, it's feminist ideology. In today's society, if you cannot compete, the rules of play are changed. There's no incentive to become better; to improve yourself and demonstrate that you are a capable person.

  8. Re:Not discrimintation on Median Age At Google Is 29, Says Age Discrimination Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    I will take my old man whining elsewhere, if you finish elementary school, and use better grammar. Deal?

  9. Re:Wonderful. on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 1

    The SJW acronym still has meaning. I think we can both agree that legitimate death and rape threats are unacceptable. That being said, people who could be considered social justice warriors are tremendously quick to flip out over any perceived threat to their personal narrative. They use underhanded, mob-like tactics to force their distorted definition of life on everyone else.

  10. Wonderful. on Twitter Rolls Out New Anti-Abuse Tools · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This will be abused by SJWs so fast. I cannot wait to see the fireworks.

  11. Re:I'm all for this on Scientists: It's Time To Resolve the Ethics of Editing Human Genome · · Score: 1

    I agree. There are many diseases that would really benefit from this.

  12. Re:In the case of the nudes on Twitter Will Ban Revenge Porn and Non-consensual Nudes · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure why you were modded down, because that's a pretty valid point. Heavy-handed bans will be too difficult to defend against.

  13. Only drones? on Austin Declared a Drone-Free Zone During SXSW · · Score: 1

    I wish we could ban the hipsters as well.

  14. Great teaching tool. on Man 3D Prints a Working 5-Speed Transmission For Toyota Engines · · Score: 1

    While I would never use this in my car, I can see it being very beneficial as a teaching tool in classrooms.

  15. Re:This sucks. on Sir Terry Pratchett Succumbs To "the Embuggerance," Aged 66 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yes, it does. He was a fantastic writer, and will be missed.

  16. Not all games. on Microsoft Closes Gap Between Windows 10 and Xbox One With "Crossplay" Plans · · Score: 1

    As a PC-only gamer, I cannot wait for the influx of console-only FPS players.

  17. Re:Don't do it, Snowden! on Snowden Reportedly In Talks To Return To US To Face Trial · · Score: 4, Funny

    He should stay. Anna Chapman is there. The US offers nothing that good.

  18. Re:Too much. on Surgeon: First Human Head Transplant May Be Just Two Years Away · · Score: 2

    Mary Shelley tried to warn us of this a long time ago.

    No, she did not. Also, Nostradamus didn't predict Hitler or the September 11th attacks. As for the ethics of the issue, that's a tough one. I agree with you that there "may" be a black market for this, eventually. This isn't like getting a gunshot wound treated at a back-alley clinic. With proper regulations, it can be controlled in a safe, ethical manner.

  19. Great job, Bill. on Bill Nye Disses "Regular" Software Writers' Science Knowledge · · Score: 1

    Fantastic job at getting young minds interested in science by convincing them they need a degree from only a top-tier university.

  20. Re:This has been going on for a while on Iowa Wants To Let You Carry Your Driver's License On Your Phone · · Score: 1

    This is the biggest issue I see from having it on a phone. No thank you.

  21. Don't have access? on WA Pushes Back On Microsoft and Code.org's Call For Girls-First CS Education · · Score: 1

    "way too many young people, particularly our girls...simply don't have access to the courses at all," What happens after a generation of pushing STEM exclusively to women? Will there be programs for male-only STEM education? I doubt there will be. The access has always been equal. Interest, on the other hand, is not.

  22. Re:Stop looking for a single point of failure on Will Elementary School Teachers Take the Rap For Tech's Diversity Problem? · · Score: 1

    I wish I could upvote this more, because you are 100% correct. A viable solution needs to be implemented prior to pointing fingers. Sadly, I don't see that happening. It's too easy for people to sit in judgement, rather than getting their hands dirty.

  23. Re:Is it low T? on Testosterone Increasingly Being Used To Fight Aging In Men · · Score: 1

    The best way to fight aging is to date a girl half you age.

  24. Re:FAA? When did the Moon become part of the USA? on FAA Could Extend Property Rights On the Moon Through Regulation · · Score: 1

    Our flag was there first. I assume we're claiming squatter's rights on this.

  25. Re:Fascinating on One Man's Quest To Rid Wikipedia of Exactly One Grammatical Mistake · · Score: 1

    He's a lone soldier, taking a stand against proletariats that use terms such as "literally" and "basically" incorrectly. This man should be praised and lauded for his dedication. Also, my daughter is an aspie, so fuck you.
