  1. Re:And people called Atlas Shrugged Fiction.... on Venezuela: Cheap Television Sets For All! · · Score: 1

    Tell that to those who've already read the book and contracted the disease. Are you in favor of AIDS? (See also other annoying books that have ruined people's minds: The Bible, The Koran, The Book of Mormon, etc.)

  2. I'm sure they'd be all over some guy because he managed to run a VM in a web browser.

  3. Re:bitcoin not like the real world on Chinese Bitcoin Exchange Vanishes, Taking £2.5m of Coins With It · · Score: 1

    Especially if those few major players are drug czars wanting to launder said money.

    If you use Chrome or Firefox, just spend a couple minutes installing the Adblock Plus extension. You'll rarely have to sit through those ads and it'll save your sanity.

  5. Re:top of the line Seagate drive on 25,000-Drive Study Gives Insight On How Long Hard Drives Actually Last · · Score: 1

    I've head at least 7 Seagate ES.2 250GB drives fail on me. Luckily, not all at once.

  6. Re:High Tax sycophants on "War Room" Notes Describe IT Chaos At Healthcare.gov · · Score: 1

    It's called Reagonomics. What's good for the goose is good for the gander.

  7. Re:does everyone REALLY have IP-connected TV? on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    I also just updated my ancient panasonic bluray player that was starting to have playback problems (couldn't handle scratches at all) with a $69 samsung bluray player that plays beautifully, has built-in wifi, and also plays all those online services (not sure about the porn though)

  8. Re:About time on Blockbuster To Close Remaining US Locations · · Score: 1

    With a $54/mo Time Warner Road Runner plan, I get all kinds of buffering delays when attempting to watch any YouTube video at 480p or higher.

  9. Re:um on AMD's Radeon R9 290 Delivers 290X Performance For $150 Less · · Score: 2

    I've had my 2560x1600 Dell 3007WFP for at least 4 years. Here's an article comparing it to an Apple 30" screen dated 2007.

  10. Re:The numbers on Researchers Use Computer-Generated 10-Year-Old Girl To Catch Online Predators · · Score: 2

    What do you do when the offender grabs a bat and wins the brawl? Do you really want the victim's families to be beaten with a bat?

  11. Re: they should use local police on TSA Union Calls For Armed Guards At Every Checkpoint · · Score: 1

    IMO, they should use local police. No need to bloat the payroll ad nauseum.

    Unless there are plenty of officers sitting around doing nothing while on the clock, wouldn't using local police just shift the cost of all those additional positions to the local government? Why would you want to hide the costs of the TSA?

  12. Re:Remember that TRS-80 you threw away in 1982? on Welcome to the Goodwill Computer Museum (Video) · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to exactly what 2 watt processors can compare to a 3.2 GHz P4 from 2003.

  13. Re:SIX ... LONG YEARS to stop the program on NSA Monitored Calls of 35 World Leaders · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Do you think Mitt Romney or John McCain would have stopped these programs? If so you I would say you are confused. Otherwise, what is your point?

  14. Re:letting monsters live on US Executions Threaten Supply of Anaesthetic Used For Surgical Procedures · · Score: 1

    The problem with your argument is that there are a number of people sentenced to death that are completely innocent. It also costs more to sentence someone to death in the US than life imprisonment.

  15. Seeing how the tea party was manufactured by fox (not any proof, but see this link), I'm kind of curious how long the party can survive. Especially since republicans have been distancing themselves from them lately.

  16. Re:Balance on Building Melts Car · · Score: 1

    Amazing how just twice as much sun as normal will melt our world. This third rock is an uniquely hospitable, thank Dog.

    If the world wasn't this hospitable, life would never have evolved. From what I understand, there are plenty of solar systems where such is the case. Does Dog hate those solar systems?

  17. Re:Kind of a warning sign actually on How Deadbeat Facebook Friends and Using ALL-CAPS Can Lower Your Credit Score · · Score: 1

    "If you still have no credit history at 38, then you almost certainly still smoke weed with that high school friend in his mom's basement."

    I'm 31 with zero credit and zero debt - fuck you.

    That was uncalled for -- and you didn't even mention if you still smoke weed with your deadbeat high school facebook pals.

  18. I think the person with the heroin and the plan didn't know how to impersonate a call from a neighbor -- which was required to make the report plausible. Thus a post asking for help was reasonable.

  19. One of my coworkers put her phone right into a cup of water that was in her car's cup-holder. She didn't even notice until several minutes later.

  20. Re:Surpassing Vista on Windows 8 Passes Vista, Hits 5.1% Market Share · · Score: 1

    If I recall correctly, the big deal about ME is that they completely removed DOS. It actually caused problems with people trying to play DOS games which were still common at that time.

  21. Re:A conspiracy... on 2 Men Accused of Trying To Make X-Ray Weapon · · Score: 1

    I don't see any non-Jewish pro-Israeli group/individual having the zeal and motivation to carry out a terrorist attack against the enemies of Israel, driven solely by a goodwill for Israel. They must have some other hidden agenda, surely.

    It's obvious that attacking various enemies of Israel is simply their business plan to attract funding. We all know that the Jews control the banks and have all the money. Who else should they proposition? Mormons?

  22. Re:Microsoft killed FoxPro at 1,500,000 users. on Google's Crazy Lack of Focus: Is It Really Serious About Enterprise? · · Score: 1

    Where I work, we use a childcare database called ezcare2. As of their latest version, it's still based on foxpro. They've even managed to get it to install on windows 8 machines.

  23. Re:The way I see it going down... on India To Develop Military Robots For Warfare · · Score: 1

    You can't target communications networks as it's wireless with no central point of attack.

    Your experience with the robustness of wifi is very different from mine. I have enough wifi problems without military communication jammers making it even worse.

    Microsoft abandoned their Plays for Sure DRMed music after 3 or 4 years when they released the Zune that, of course, can't play it.
