  1. Time to fork on Linux Nukes 386 Support · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'll fork the kernal and keep the 386 dream alive, just as soon as the checkout is complete on my blazing fast 28.8k modem.

    I'm sorry your too sexist to recognize your own sexism. There's really not a lot else to say here.

  3. Re:Sounds like it's worth it on Degree Hack: Cobbling Together Credit Hours For Cheap · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Contempt for associates degrees is part of the mechanics that drive up the cost of college degrees. If you're ever in a hiring role, I hope you'll reconsider your position. With the huge percentage of people going to a four year school and simply not caring about academics, the distinction of a BA doesn't seem like it holds much more(if any) value than an associates.

    Did you even read what he just wrote? There's literally nothing sexist at all in his story.

    Hmm, I wonder how I could have gone down that route...

    The second thing I noticed, was that the driver was a female, and that she was small. Almost but not quite petite. I also noticed that she was pretty good looking. So - what would any man worthy of being called a man do?

    No idea...

    Your boss can say "Oh you're not a server developer? You are now! Experienced engineer who's familiar with backends, you're fired!"

    Rather than debate your mind with you, which would be folly, all I can say is it would seem that way to most people.

    Ok, you were sexist to someone, and that validates the "feminazis exist" assertion. I thought you were just flame-baiting me, but you really are the GGP. The only feminist thing this woman did was chastise you for an act you freely admit you only performed on the basis of their gender. You proceeded to insult them at the time to a group of strangers, then belittled them in this post. You seem completely blind to your own prejudice. I don't know how you can live like that, in all seriousness.

  8. We've known virus scanners don't work since. on Google App Verification Service Detects Only 15% of Infected Apps · · Score: 2, Insightful

    What? 2000, maybe? More specifically, they're part of the test cases of virus writers, who develop until they are circumvented. Why would anyone imagine they do anything useful?

  9. Re:Novel on Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank · · Score: 1

    Yeah, and if this were a tank developed for a modern military force with an American military budget, it would have those things. Mother of invention and all that.

  10. Re:HA! on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 1

    Yep, sure. O.K. Your single unspoken anecdote, unsupported by evidence, a description, or even the word of a pseudonym totally undermines my point. That sure is a strong argument.

  11. Re:Assange was right after all on Pirate Bay Founder Released From Solitary Confinement · · Score: 0

    I'm a US citizen, and I both understand and agree with your position. Women have been kicked, spit on, shat on, slapped around, taken for granted, denied human rights, bought and sold and given away since time immemorial. They need to stand up for themselves. But - feminazis are no better than the swine that real feminists are fighting against.

    The same argument applies to downtrodden races whose members suddenly want to see all white men put to death. They are the same bigots that their races are fighting against.

    That's all well and good, but "feminazis" essentially don't exist, and are a myth constructed almost entirely whole cloth to delegitimize feminism. There are maybe, at most, a couple voices out there proclaiming the need for matriarchy, and thousands of people in positions of power who assert that women need to be in the kitchen, and subservient to their husbands. People can and do go onto national television, and blame social problems on woman suffrage, and face no consequences at all.

    By buying into the "feminazis" argument, you are tacitly supporting the lies that allow these people to exist.

    I'm not sure how a lead box would be easy to detect. To get bomb level amounts would only take the space of a undergarments drawer.

    Disclaimer: do not keep fissile materials in your undergarments drawer.

    Because they're actually still kind of hard to catch? It's either baited cages or scuba divers with a bag. Either one is much more time intensive than dropping a huge net behind a ship then hauling it back in.

    Actually, I'd like to point out that Hollywood gets huge amounts of freebies from the US military for portraying the US as the good guys.

    I cannot actually think of an example from the past decade where the U.S. was portrayed as evil in a movie.

  19. Re:W-W-W-What??? on Report Warns That Censorship Will Not Stop Terrorism · · Score: 1

    I would be inclined to agree. If the article had some sort of hard data supporting the conclusion(which I believe is correct), it might be more useful, but stating the obvious without further evidence to repudiate the current strategies seems like a bit of a waste of time.

    This has really been a U.S. foreign policy for decades and is part of why there are anti-US terrorists in the first place. Drones just make it faster and cheaper.

  21. FTFA on Report Warns That Censorship Will Not Stop Terrorism · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Instead, policymakers should focus their attention on the demand side of the radicalization issue, Neumann argues, with the government spearheading outreach initiatives that would bring together schools, community groups and businesses to advance awareness and media literacy and offer a competing narrative to that presented by sites that traffic in radical propaganda.

    There's no way this would work in the U.S. It sounds like socialism. It also incorporates zero bombs. A bill to attempt such a thing would be regarded by the right wing of this country as an encroachment on freedom far worse than censorship(of people they disagree with).

    I can't actually remember the last XBOX game I bought that allowed same-screen play. Nintendo has been a little better about it, but most game developers have settled into a "your friends must buy it too" mentality.

    I already code in XNA for fun. It's not a bad framework, but I thought given the subject and summary that something similar might be available for the Wii U, but it sounds like it's nonsense.
