  1. bad summary on POV-Ray Is Now FLOSS · · Score: 2

    We are all expected to understand what a FOSS (what the hell is the L for!?) license is, but perhaps you should explain what POV-Ray actually is?

    Best. FP. Ever. Very well played.

  3. Re:I guess I'll see on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 1

    I dunno, I function perfectly fine in WvW with a level in the 10s or 20s. I don't expect to lead the pack or run around in a 3 person squad and succeed, but I can certainly function fine with the larger mass. I even get kills!

    What do you mean have to? You don't have to do any of that shit.

  5. Re:I guess I'll see on Next World of Warcraft Expansion: Warlords of Draenor · · Score: 4, Interesting

    GW2 doesn't really do the whole "grind" thing - at least not with anything you actually have to do to advance.

    Hell, just hop in WvW and murder people. You can level up that way.

    ... unlike that particularly lame typo there. Feel free to condemn me "fore" that one all you want.

    There's also the third group, who sees something wrong and thinks they might be able to exert a little positive influence once they are part of the machine.

    Perhaps a tiny bit naive, but certainly not something you can condemn them fore.

    Following that same logic, all our ancestors were evil, because knapping flint knives was pure evil, right there - since they undoubtedly allowed countless other cavemen to be killed. Nevermind all that other good stuff toolmaking was used for and resulted in.

  9. well no shit on The NSA Is Looking For a Few Good Geeks · · Score: 2

    They fire everyone, and now they have to hire people? Imagine that.

    You're assuming license agreements and the like wouldn't go along with the purchase.

  11. Re:Compare the Right Stats on Third Tesla Fire Means Feds To Begin Review · · Score: 1

    It didn't just run over something. It ran over something with just the right angle, allowing it to punch a 2" hole in a 1/4" steel plate. That's not a fucking pothole, and it would have mangled any other car just as badly. The other one involved driving through a concrete barricade. Enough said about that one.

    Stop trying to downplay these accidents, because they were not minor.

  12. Re:Maybe they caught whatever bug Boeing had on Third Tesla Fire Means Feds To Begin Review · · Score: 1

    Nope. 787 batteries are/were catching fire in normal use, Tesla fires are resulting from major accidents (that, I should point out, are not the fault of the battery either)

  13. Re:This is truly not a big deal on Third Tesla Fire Means Feds To Begin Review · · Score: 1

    We have three fires. I know one was the result of running over steel debris at highway speed as it fell off a truck in front of the car. I also know the one in Mexico involved driving through a concrete barricade and landing amidst some trees.

    It's not like these things are just... catching fire for no reason or because of a rough bump in a parking lot.

  14. Re:Normally skid plates only in off-road vehicles on Third Tesla Fire Means Feds To Begin Review · · Score: 1

    Maybe people just need to stop running over steel beams, or driving through concrete barricades.

  15. Re:Normally skid plates only in off-road vehicles on Third Tesla Fire Means Feds To Begin Review · · Score: 1

    I read elsewhere that the plate was steel - that was mentioned in the reporting on the one that had struck metal debris at highway speeds.

    Honestly? Yes. At this point I am.

    You said "Child Protective Services" - which is not "Child Protection Services"

    You can't play musical suffix/prefix with agency names.
