  1. Re:We need to fix our regulations. on Quant AI Picks Stocks Better Than Humans · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Standard Oil, Triangle Shirtwaist Fire, Pullman Strike, and the Pinkerton Militia. Now shut the fuck up and crawl back into your cave of voluntary ignorance while the people that didn't get a D in US History talk about how not to avoid our past mistakes rather than desperately try to repeat them as though 100 hour child-labour using workweeks where you were locked inside a building with no windows or fire suppression systems are something to idealise.

    Go jerk off to some pictures of Ayn Rand or something.

    I would love it if the majority of people were that technologically literate but I can't say that with a straight face.

    Unless the school does what schools are famous for and puts on a zero tolerance front for making people do it their way and their way alone.

    Ben Franklin also didn't have electricity, immunizations, or indoor plumbing. You want to go back to smallpox epidemics, relying on candles and shitting outside in the winter?

    And then they'll get a project, or a homework assignment, or just plain harassed and abused in one way or another until they cough up the $$$.

    This is a SCHOOL we're talking about.

    Feasible? No. Satisfying? Possibly. I know I might be tempted to pay for a device that performs a designated action when it detects me flipping off the screen.

    I'm pretty sure that actually exists as some kind of "due diligence" thing.

  8. Re:Not this again... on The Hurt Locker Producers Sue First 5,000 File-Sharers · · Score: 1

    You're right, you aren't ignorant, you know perfectly well how factually inaccurate your posts are and this one proves that you've just been trolling me the entire time to bait me into a "Look he's an ad-hominem arguer!" trap. I actually laughed out loud when i saw that one brought out right after you got done insulting my intelligence.

    First rule of using logical fallacies: Always accuse your opponent of whatever you least want to be called out on before they can do it.

    Also the last time I asked if someone was being intentionally ignorant it was in response to Imthesponge's post, not yours. So for me to have supposedly done that to you twice...

  9. Re:Yeah, right. on BP Says "Top Kill" Operation Has Failed · · Score: 1

    This isnt just a hole filled with oil, there's also a crapton of methane ice and other wonderfully combustible things down there. Nuking it might just make things worse by blowing the top off completely and letting it all out in one big splort.

    And that's without considering the ramifications of setting of a NUCLEAR GODDAMN BOMB right off of some of the most densely inhabited coasts on the continent.

    And once again I need to ask: Are you being intentionally ignorant?

    Internet activation is second only to CD-keys in terms of DRM.

    ... You do realise the vast majority of DRM schemes ARE already cracked on day 0 or 1, right?

    Are you being intentionally ignorant?

    DRM hasn't ever made a difference in piracy, the only people that are ever impeded by it are the ones that actually legitimately purchased the product.

    They could've made them think a wavelength smells terrible and then sold fly repellant lightbulbs.

    Scratch paper drawer, CD shelf, monitor stand, cat bed... far better value for your money, true, but still a ripoff.

    That's strage because Chow Mein IS a noodle dish, the name means literally "stir fried noodles" whereas lo mein means "mixed/stirred noodles".

    Have you ever been to the middle or far east? There's a whole lot of amazingly delicious foods that look, and sometimes smell, roughly like someone has already eaten them.

    That's kinda the problem, they WERE one of the best out there but their support degraded over time until they couldn't even legitimately be called lifetime warranties anymore.

    I never knew doubleclicking an icon and clicking "Next" a few times was a complicated and difficult install process.
