  1. Re:Names on Microsoft Will Have To Rename SkyDrive · · Score: 1

    Hmm...

    How about NoDrive? It expresses my sentiment -and- manages to sound neat and cloudy.

  2. Re:High School for Girls Academy on A Year of Linux Desktop At Westcliff High School · · Score: 1

    Something we can all agree on, at least!

  3. Re:Quote from another dead hero on Training Materials for NSA Spying Tool "XKeyScore" Revealed · · Score: 2

    Who do you think the heroes are, dumbass?

  4. Re:High School for Girls Academy on A Year of Linux Desktop At Westcliff High School · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Nobody said this was a focus group.

  5. maybe next time lose the lockdown on Asus CEO On Windows RT: "We're Out." · · Score: 5, Insightful

    So that you can make hardware that doesn't depend on MS?

  6. Re:ramifications on Bradley Manning Convicted of Espionage, Acquitted of 'Aiding the Enemy' · · Score: 1

    There must be a better way.

    Meanwhile, out here in the real world...

  7. How long did you try? I assume you got to play with traits, and noticed that different weapons conferred different skills to the various classes.

    As well, the engineer might be up your alley as well as they can (as some of their skills) equip "kits" which give you whole other sets of skills.

    I'm running around with a freaking flamethrower!

    Another one to look at is the elementalist. The skills you have to work with change based on what element you have active, and what weapon(s) you have equipped.

  8. Re:Right of asylum cannot be assumed on US Lawmakers Want Sanctions On Any Country Taking In Snowden · · Score: 1

    And why does that cause static fucking content to not load?

    No thanks.

  9. Re:With the right training, huh? on Psychopathic Criminals Have "Empathy Switch" · · Score: 1

    There's nothing wrong with being one, it's only a problem if you then do something society doesn't like.

  10. Re: With the right training, huh? on Psychopathic Criminals Have "Empathy Switch" · · Score: 1

    I'm all for believing in what you want to believe, but shouldn't religion be offered as a belief, and not a band-aid?

  11. You should give Guild Wars 2 a try. It does many things differently (for the better), is not free to play, and yet is not a subscription either (you pay once).

  12. Re:They have the perfect defense against drones on Indian Army Mistook Planets For Spy Drones · · Score: 1

    That could be read in several interesting ways..

  13. Re:Just FYI on Indian Army Mistook Planets For Spy Drones · · Score: 1

    Presumably NORAD knows the difference between planets orbiting the sun, satellites orbiting the earth, and ballistics orbiting nothing...

  14. Re:It would look like light on What Wi-Fi Would Look Like If We Could See It · · Score: 1

    Rather, it would look much like the world does now, but lots of things would be translucent/transparent and the IORs for things would be completely different.

    You'd also see some phenomena which is much harder to see with the naked eye and visual light.

  15. Re:+5 Insightful for on Jimmy Carter Calls Snowden Leak Ultimately "Beneficial" · · Score: 1

    Even if he was, that doesn't make him wrong.

  16. they are not encrypted on Google Storing WLAN Passwords In the Clear · · Score: 1

    Look in /data/misc/wifi/wpa_supplicant.conf (requires root)

    Likely their backup is just a copy of that file...

  17. Re:fourth amendment vs. first amendment on EFF Sues NSA, Justice Department, FBI · · Score: 1

    At which point shit will start hitting fans. They don't want to go up that particular creek...

  18. Re:Um excuse me ... on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    Can you continue execution from a core file?

    I think the idea was to be able to correct a fault in the debugger and continue execution, detaching once you're sure it was operating normally.

  19. Re:So a plastic tube leaks.. wow. on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 1

    Oh look another crew oh look a spacewalk.

    Exactly. Do you realize that EVA has become mundane? Think about that for a minute.

  20. Re:Um excuse me ... on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    What if he's doing it on paper, or a whiteboard?

  21. Re:Um excuse me ... on Visual Studio vs. Eclipse: a Programmer's Comparison · · Score: 1

    You can do that. Set your program up to halt instead of die in an error condition, and when it dies attach a proper debugger.

  22. Re:So a plastic tube leaks.. wow. on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 1

    I find it interesting that you don't see the difference between a dangerous job on the ground/sea and a dangerous job in orbit...

    Shows how far we've come, eh?

  23. Re:So a plastic tube leaks.. wow. on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 1

    If it was the cooling system that's a no-go. Once that runs dry, heat will start to build up in the suit.

  24. Re:Cooling system leak on Spacewalk Aborted When Water Fills Astronaut's Helmet · · Score: 1

    Especially not once the cooling system fails because you're swimming in it instead of it circulating.

    Hot and wet, in a cramped suit. Ick.

    What do you think drowning is?
