  1. Re:C4 on What To Do After Robots Take Your Job · · Score: 1

    Rampage!

  2. Re:Is there...? on Canada's Next-Generation Military Smart Gun Unveiled · · Score: 1

    Good. Now we need to redesign the cockpit of the F-35 so that one of these rifles with MP3 player attached can be mounted in it so the pilots can listen to music as they taxi around.

  3. Re:Or how about no jobs? on The Software Revolution · · Score: 1

    Star Trek wasn't currency-free.

    And those with large amounts of currency today will seek to ensure that

    a) they keep the currency they have, and to keep acquiring more and more of it, relative to everyone else
    b) that it is necessary to live

    They have [at least a little] seen how the rest of us live, and have no desire to join us.

  4. Re:Taken to the cleaners... on LG Exec Indicted Over Broken Samsung Washing Machine · · Score: 1

    IIRC, they didn't break the units at the trade show. They were at some local store where they broke them. Still stupid and bizarre, but not that cheesy.

  5. Re:Why plea deal? on Kim Dotcom's Lawyer Plays Down Megaupload Worker's Guilty Plea · · Score: 1

    He probably could win, if he had a similar budget that the gov't spent on investigating and litigating him.

    However, it is likely he was out of funds [or could see that he would be out of funds prior to the resolution of charges], and he would be tied up in court for years, so he chose the best way out, a resolution that gets his life going again in a year and probably with some money to do so.

  6. Re:Wait, model it after Ebay dispute resolution? on Online UK Courts Modelled On EBay To Settle Legal Disputes · · Score: 2

    I thought they were referring to ebay's original operating model...highest bidder wins.

  7. Re:Unfortunately.... on Researcher Developing Tattoo Removal Cream · · Score: 1

    So, obviously you come from a planet other than Earth if you think that is possible. Welcome. Please don't probe my anus.

  8. Re:Price gouge Microsoft products on Bill Gates On Educating the World · · Score: 2

    Whatever you do, do NOT smell Bill Gate's "cloud".

  9. Re:Islamic Terrorism hits Denmark on West Point and Marines Launch Open Cyber Conflict Journal · · Score: 2

    OMG The situation is totally worse. The lone gunman killed somebody, then took a taxi to another location and killed someone else and wounded some other people.

    We better just lock down the whole country and do a cavity search on everyone.

  10. Re:that movie on US Military Working On 3D Printing Exact Replicas of Bones & Limbs · · Score: 3, Funny

    Yes. It really is scary seeing a soldier run towards you waving bones in the air. Obviously, he's finished with that person and looking for his next meal.

  11. Re:Resonace: Beings of Frequency on Li-Fi-like System Pushes 100Gbps Within a Small Room · · Score: 1

    "The trick, of course, is getting the light beam exactly where it needs to go"

    I know, lets call this trick "a laser".

  12. Re:Islamic Terrorism hits Denmark on West Point and Marines Launch Open Cyber Conflict Journal · · Score: 2, Insightful

    First, way to post everything as AC.
    Second: Really? Two people, in two separate incidents are dead, and a few more wounded and there is "massive panic in Denmark"? Are you fucking kidding me?

    That's the same stupidity that had schools 4000 km away go on lockdown because a lone gunman killed one person on a "rampage" on Parliament Hill in Canada.

  13. Re:Exponential growth on Peak Google: The Company's Time At the Top May Be Nearing Its End · · Score: 1

    It's just the insane "analysts" of wall street. every quarter, profits must be higher, growth must be higher, revenue must be higher, etc... just growing like you did before isn't enough, you have to keep outdoing everything you have ever done before, by both getting more revenues while also having lower expenses.

    Except, oddly enough, Amazon.

  14. Re:Get with the times on Torvalds Polls Desire for Linux's Next Major Version Bump · · Score: 1

    Must pass Mac OS and Windows, jump to version 11.0!

  15. 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

    yes. "oops, my reader isn't working. I'll need to take the phone back to my car to verify the information."

  16. Re:Lead girls to water bottles to stoke CS interes on WA Pushes Back On Microsoft and Code.org's Call For Girls-First CS Education · · Score: 1

    Well, simply put, you can't do it. Now, go find something else to do.

  17. Re:It means you jumped on the latest bandwagon on What Does It Mean To Be a Data Scientist? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, you jump onto the next buzzword.

    Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

  18. Re:I fail to see how it's any worse than other UIs on The Uncanny Valley of Voice Recognition · · Score: 1

    Ugh. creating reminders with Siri sucks, because I regularly set a reminder for two hours in the future, and saying "Remind me in two hours to..." generally results with Siri decoding "Remind me into to...", which results in an untimed reminder starting with "into to"

  19. Re: The whole idea is crazy on Quantum Equation Suggests Universe Had No Beginning · · Score: 1

    God: Wrong! [tips over desk with books]. Now, throw away those pages and start again!

  20. Re:Oops! on Jeb Bush Publishes Thousands of Citizens' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    Liar!

    That's all we have to respond to your claim.

  21. Re:just s crutch on DMCA Exemption Campaign Would Let Fans Run Abandoned Games · · Score: 1

    False. Each exemption automatically expires after 3 years. You need to fight every three years to get it re-exempted.

  22. Re:well duh... on Smartphone Theft Drops After Spread of Kill Switches · · Score: 1

    whoosh

  23. Re:That's nothing on Converting Sunlight Into Liquid Fuel With a Bionic Leaf · · Score: 2

    And it dries faster when you spread it out everywhere.

  24. Re:well duh... on Smartphone Theft Drops After Spread of Kill Switches · · Score: 1

    Of course you can't. There has already been widespread abuse of these remote killswitches.

  25. Re:octopi? on Underwater Vehicle Uses a Balloon To Dart Like an Octopus · · Score: 1

    Mmmm. Pie.
