  1. Finally! on ARM Support Comes To SUSE Linux Enterprise Server · · Score: 1

    Now I can run SUSE's broken, outdated software on another platform! Yaay!

    SUSE is technically nice an' all, but god damn its packages are always so outdated, and its userbase is too small to be regularly catered for in documentation.

  2. Re:Free peering - thin end of the wedge on Netflix Hoping For Free Network Access From ISPs · · Score: 1

    Countries which have setups just as you describe have far more competition in their ISPs, lower prices, and better service.

  3. Re:Nothing new here on Gun-Firing Drone Raises Some Eyebrows · · Score: 1

    No difference? This drone can be piloted without being able to see it, the RC helicopter you mention couldn't, hence the difference.

  4. Re:Truther? on 'Pluto Truthers' Are Pretty Sure That the NASA New Horizons Mission Was Faked · · Score: -1, Troll

    You realise your account is factually inaccurate, right? No of course you don't. Why should people listen to you when your account of 9/11 doesn't even mention the planes?

  5. Re:"Truthers" don't believe in *air* on 'Pluto Truthers' Are Pretty Sure That the NASA New Horizons Mission Was Faked · · Score: 1

    You seem incapable of actually having a discussion with someone. If someone points out some unfortunate truth from "your" side, you simply point out something unfortunate on the "other" side, as if that achieves absolutely anything. Seriously. This is getting pathetic. Learn to actually discuss things, not just play a game of "internet nuh-uh!"

  6. Re:In Soviet Russia on Citizenfour Director Sues To Find Out Why She Was Detained Every Time She Flew · · Score: 1

    It still is a republic, as the leader is not dynastic. It's close, but there are still elections. I think the word you meant was "democracy", as that is the only part which really matters - the people able to have their say, even if it's for which end of the shit sandwich they want to start at.

  7. Re:It isn't stable yet... on Multiple Sources Confirm Windows 10 has Reached RTM · · Score: 1

    "Vista is a fine example of if you fuck up the release and fix it later, some people will never consider it fixed."

    Plenty of people consider it fixed. Vista was fine after SP1.

  8. Re:Might as well upgrade when it comes out on Multiple Sources Confirm Windows 10 has Reached RTM · · Score: 1

    Windows 10 will support a Linuxesque package manager. You can read more here albeit a bit out of date, but good information none the less.

  9. Re:We're Saved! on What Will Happen When Cascadia Subduction Zone Slips · · Score: 1

    Seeing as you appear to be confused by the terminology, so much that you think misusing it is some sort of sleight or attack on its veracity, let me help you:

    1. Global warming = The increase in energy in the Earth's atmosphere
    2. Climate change = the changes in climate due to #1

    Easy, right? Now you can use these terms without sounding like a scientifically-illiterate fucktard.

    So you defend the right by assaulting the left with straw men. Brilliant. You are really good at this.

  11. Re:Lies on What Will Happen When Cascadia Subduction Zone Slips · · Score: 1

    It's actually something I would have assumed the stereotypical Republican would like: "Put up or shut up". The scientists have their evidence, and those who don't like the findings should put up their evidence and not just anonymously post some nonsensical rebuttal devoid of evidence. So yeah, if you are trying to fight scientific findings with your opinion, you are a fucking idiot muppet.

  12. Re:Get a grip. The "A" doesn't matter. on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1, Troll

    Then read the IPCC reports, and your ignorance will be cured. You seem to be acting like no-one's bothered to figure this stuff out, when it appears it's just you being massively ignorant of an entire field of study, then using your ignorance as evidence of why it should be trashed. Brilliant stuff.

  13. Re:An Out for Global Warming on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 2

    The models aren't failing, though. Thanks for playing.

  14. Re: That's a lot of heating for single-digit C cha on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    Thanks for sharing just how little you know of this subject. It really helps those who are trying to have a decent discussion when you out yourself as not only not understanding the findings, but completely disinterested in doing so. Good jerb!

  15. Re:"more media hype than science" - LOL on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    As has been pointed out you are confusing science with the USDA, which speaks more of your ability to understand what you learn than of science in general. Ouch.

  16. Re:"more media hype than science" - LOL on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    So you haven't read the IPCC reports. Thanks for letting everyone know you are making stuff up.

  17. Re:"more media hype than science" - LOL on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    Seeing as you just described "model", I don't think they have to do shit. Maybe you should learn more about the terminology in play instead? No-one is getting throat-jumped for simply holding a differing opinion, but for categorically ignoring the science and substituting their own conjecture.

  18. Re:Nothing to see here, move along... on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    When the science behind them is bad, they get ripped apart by climatologists (which you misspelled as "alarmists"). You not knowing that speaks more of your understanding of this than anyone else, and it doesn't say kind things.

  19. Re:Obligations on Reddit CEO: Site Is 'Not a Bastion of Free Speech,' Change Coming · · Score: 1

    I hope you were being sarcastic, otherwise you just demonstrated the exact attitude which is driving people to try to strike back against people who think it's perfectly acceptable to use childish attacks in lieu of a coherent argument.

    "Triggered" types who see the normalization of assaults upon various minorities as being dangerous to society? Oh noes! I guess Rosa Parks was a "triggered" type too.

    I think you meant to say "I take the cries of my strawman, pulled-out-my-ass PC crowd to be largely hypocritical", as everything you said was a complete guess. You don't seem to know what "politically correct" means, but that sure as shit ain't gonna stop you railing on it!

  23. Re:Worst possible example. on Macon-Bibb County Government Wants $5.7 Million Drone Fleet For Emergencies · · Score: 1

    Surely that should be "citation" and not "cite"...

    Hence them being called something different to just "star", meaning they were assumed to be different from stars.

  25. Re:The cart is so far in front of the horse... on Does Elon Musk's Hyperloop Make More Sense On Mars? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So you assume there is absolutely nothing of value in examining Hyperloop? Comparing it to telepathy is strange, as telepathy requires a complete rewriting of the sciences in order to exist, whereas Hyperloop is not doing anything particularly novel, it's a combination of well-tested techniques and technologies.

    You don't sound very rational.
