  1. Oh noes, using the innerwebs is hard! on Google Wants To Kill the URL (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    In short, you navigate to WIRED.com to read WIRED...

    Yeah, damn! I see what you mean. So unnecessarily difficult.

  2. Re:"Free" as in your data for sale on Microsoft Announces Windows 10 October 2018 Update, the Next Free Major Update To Its Desktop OS (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Aren't all Windows updates free? Why did they go out of their way to call this one "free"? Are future updates not going to be free?

    (I'm a Linux user, in an all-Linux household, so I admit I could be mistaken/ignorant.)

  3. Re:So sick of Chicken Little climate change storie on Climate Change Could Lead To Nutrient Deficiency For Hundreds of Millions (smithsonianmag.com) · · Score: 2

    No, actually, climate change makes your breath fresher. But, you're not going to hear that from the MSM!

    An astute observation. You're one smart motherfucker!

    What's a 'nagger'? I think he meant 'n.i.g.g.e.r'. It's a terrible word, that has historically been used to denigrate a group of people as less than human. Because of this, some people arbitrarily define its use as hate speech. But, "hate speech" is also being used to label any type of information that specific groups, mostly on the left, disagree with, in an attempt to apply censorship. This has muddied the waters, and has actually been counterproductive to those pushing for hate speech laws.

    [edit] Oh, I see why you typed "nagger" now. Slashdot has a "lameness filter" that keeps you from posting if you actually spell the word out. Really, I doubt this lameness filter does much of anything, considering the number of lame, n-word related posts we see here on a regular basis. Whatevs

  6. "Bear case"? "Bulls"? I feel like I'm sitting at a table, drinking fancy, pretentious brands of whiskey with a bunch of douche bag stock traders.

    Oh, no wait. I guessed it! You were on a Chinese space station, right?

    One place I went (to be unnamed) the person was paying $300 a month for 2Mb and sites like Starbucks, Amazon and Walmart were blocked

    Please. Name the place, or you're full of crap.

  9. Re:China Finds Begins Production... on China Begins Production Of x86 Processors Based On AMD's IP (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't that be "Engrish Siri"?

  10. Exactly. They complied with Brammer's cease and desist, and then he sued them. What a dick. Glad he lost.

  14. Wow. Take a nap.

  15. Re: $500 for 4GB and a Celeron? on Samsung Unveils Chromebook Plus V2 (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    If you think Atoms and Celerons are comparable, you should shred your geek card right now.

    Both are low-end processors from Intel. Beyond that, I really have no idea. I'm keeping my geek card, though.

  16. Subarus on Cops Will Soon ID You Via Your Roof Rack (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    Plus, the company says, the software is now able to visually identity things like ... bumper sticker

    If you RTFA, Subarus are not supported. Interestingly, the system is only able to support up to 10 bumper stickers.

  17. Maybe Sun-Tzu's art of War

    Or, maybe DJ Trump's The Art of the Deal

    Nice. I think Xi Jinping is taking lessons from Little Rocket Man.

    Yeah, even now I'd probably take my chances with the self-driving cars instead of humanity at the wheel, thanks.

    You have a very low opinion of your driving ability.

  21. Re:Also Crime and Sh*t in the Streets. on Silicon Valley Is Over, Says Silicon Valley (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    It depends on your metric. If you're considering fossil fuel consumption, public transportation is the winner. If you're thinking about personal time spent getting to where you want to go, a private vehicle is likely more efficient.

    If by that you mean people who don't look at their ever creeping upwards cable bill, sure.

    What does net neutrality have to do with that?

    The flu can't hold a fucking candle to STDs.

    You may actually want to look into some treatment

    If it ever became debilitating, I would consider this. But, as you stated, many people live life germ-agnostic. I'm aware of this and, as such, am able to conscientiously suppress my germaphobic tendencies. I still shake hands, touch the gas pump handle, and push the cart at the grocery store. But, after doing these things, I have a mental... flag that's set, with the imperative that I need to wash my hands at the earliest convenience. Until that flag is cleared, I won't touch my face or food.
