  1. I just don't get it on NRA Gives Ajit Pai 'Courage Award' and Gun For 'Saving the Internet' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They condemn the school guard who waited 4 minutes (sic) with his pistol outside.

    When 2 patrolmen see 1 guy wielding a revolver in a bank full of people, the call for reinforcement, block the streets, call SWAT, FBI and whatnot... and those guys have bulletproof vests, shotguns ...

    And this single guy was supposed to go against an unknown number of killing, suicidal shooters on speed, with armor, assault guns, large mags with armor-penetrating ammo with his pistol alone?
    And he didn't even know where in the building they were.

    Are they crazy?

    Same thing for arming teachers, what are they going to do?

    They will sit in a wardrobe with their .38 in hand shitting their pants and then accidentally kill the student who wants to seek refuge in the same wardrobe.

  5. Re: Trump will send Hillary to PRISON on Airlines Won't Dare Use the Fastest Way to Board Planes (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    "On vacations I travel with hands free. Buy clothes and stuff at the destination."

    I just send my stuff in robust Aluminum cases to the hotel and back beforehand with UPS.
    A Jacket with 20 pockets and cargo pants does the rest.
    Don't forget the belt with no metal pieces and no.lace slippers and you'll travel fine.

    Also, with no checked luggage, you'll be first at the taxi line when you leave the airport.

  6. "The reality is anyone with an IQ of 100 or less is effectively economically obsolete."

    You are aware that 50% of the population have an IQ of 100 or less?

    That's how it works.

    Just switch the ad-showing off in the settings like everybody else.

  12. Re:but coding is hard! on Barbie Will Be Used To Teach Kids To Code (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    "I think this is to turn out about as well as all the other initiatives to "teach kids to code"."

    They'll just sell the kids some crappy clothes to put on Barbie, so that she 'looks' like a programmer, together with a girly 'workstation' and other crap.

  13. I don't care on The Car of the Future Will Sell Your Data (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The car of the future will drive by itself while I'll have my AR-Goggles and my headphones on, so they can show whatever the fuck they want.

  14. "Nevermind that, serialized (TV) shows have massively improved in content quality. "

    Exactly! Also, lately movies just suck.
    My wife and I begin watching a movie and after 10 minutes we give up, because either the script sucks or the actors.

    Netflix sees that people abandon watching movies.

    Give me a good series any time over a movie.

  15. Re:Politics simulator on Researchers Develop Online Game That Teaches Players How To Spread Misinformation · · Score: 1

    "So, it's a politics simulator then?"

    It's called FoxSim.

    "There's no better place to play David Bowie than into a vacuum. And putting "Don't Panic" on the touch display was enough to win me."

    I just hope there's a towel in the glove compartment besides the guide.

  19. Re:Blame the technology on Lawmakers Worry About Rise of Fake Video Technology (thehill.com) · · Score: 1

    "The loss of faith in MSM is entirely self inflicted. "

    Not at all, Methylsulfonylmethane (MSM) works great for me.

    "Or I guess Marvel Comic/Cinematic Universe if you don't loathe these comic book crap movies. I've stopped watching movies since almost everything produced is a comic book movie now. "

    I can relate. Also, the problem is the not CGI but the 4.50$ spend for the script.

  24. At least _somebody_ is watching it, the drivers sure do not.
    Now an AI for indicating the directions the driver is going to use and we're good to go.

  25. "There is no reason the same system used for 2FA should be tied to a system that automatically posts messages on a wall."
