    I'm pretty sure Windows 8 was not based on logic ;)

  2. Re:Plumber on Ask Slashdot: Future-Proof Jobs? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Unfortunately computers are not replacing lawyers. It's hard to program a machine based on logic to produce complete bullshit.

  3. Re:Christmas is coming early this year on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    Nope. The TSA are not police. They cannot arrest you, they cannot investigate anybody, they cannot seek a warrant, and they cannot carry guns. They are somewhat glorified security guards that happen to work at airports.

  4. Re:Christmas is coming early this year on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    This article has nothing to do with the TSA.

  5. Re:What difference now does it make? :) Sunk costs on The Pentagon's $399 Billion Plane To Nowhere · · Score: 1

    Sorry, must be built in 'Merika!

    Man that would produce the best sleep ever.

  8. Re:One switch to rule them all? on Windows 9 To Win Over Windows 7 Users, Disables Start Screen For Desktop · · Score: 1

    Or just switch to Open Office or other derivatives. Like all of those that hated ribbons did nearly a decade ago

    Some of us don't have that option at work you insensitive clod!

  9. Re:Good luck with that ... on Eric Schmidt and Entourage Pay a Call On Cuba · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No, they go to jail for being black in a black neighborhood. When was the last time you were stopped and frisked while walking down the street?

    Cuba's only #7. Guess who's tied for #1? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  11. Re:Not quite on Eric Schmidt and Entourage Pay a Call On Cuba · · Score: 1

    Actually, you can't legally spend U.S. dollars. If you change your money for a foreign currency before you get there you're legally ok. You might get harassed anyways, of course.

  12. Re:Let them drink! on NYC Loses Appeal To Ban Large Sugary Drinks · · Score: 1

    True. I should have said free or subsidized health care.

    We already have that at emergency rooms all over the country.

  13. In other news... on Astronomers Discover Earth-Sized Diamond · · Score: 1

    De Beers to launch deep space rocket. Estimated cost? Two months salary.

  14. Re:What about... on Supreme Court Rules Cell Phones Can't Be Searched Without a Warrant · · Score: 1

    They TSA cannot detain you. They are not a law enforcement agency. They can call the cops but that is all. They do piss on the 4th amendment every second of the day, however.

  15. Re:What's the solution? on The Security Industry Is Failing Miserably At Fixing Underlying Dangers · · Score: 1

    Can we please just stick to car analogies?

  16. Re:Why not patent compression algorithm? on The Supreme Court Doesn't Understand Software · · Score: 1

    The constitution says nothing about this. It's the patent laws that could be amended.

  18. Re:Politics on Why United States Patent Reform Has Stalled · · Score: 1

    The right wing thinks NPR is left wing radio. I agree that Air America is terrible.

  19. If you're eating at P.F. Chang's... on Credit Card Breach At P.F. Chang's · · Score: 1

    ... you have bigger damage to worry about than your credit, like your colon.

  20. Right... on Theater Chain Bans Google Glass · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Yes, can't have people pirating 20 year old movies. (If you've been to a draft house you know what I mean).

  21. Re: We are being bred for slavery on Netflix Trash-Talks Verizon's Network; Verizon Threatens To Sue · · Score: 1

    In the 70's our tv was about 17" and black and white. Color and 21" in the 50's would be a dream.

  24. Re:What about escalation? on America 'Has Become a War Zone' · · Score: 1

    Right wing paranoia has and always will be the best thing ever for the firearms industry. There was a Clinton boom years ago if you don't remember.

    The NSA and defense contractors go through that kind of waste in milliseconds.
