  1. Laugh on The Ways Programming Is Hard · · Score: 1

    And can I get the header in cornflower blue?

  2. Re:did you checked the video? on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And that's exactly what it is, the dumbing down, making the Internet a TV set.

  3. Re:Don't care on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 2

    Which is the clearest reason the "Politically Correct Mafia" needs to be put in check.

  4. Re:No combined address/search bar? on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 1

    I agree, how about a different approach... let the *user* choose, frankly I'm tired of having software ducks making my UI choices for me.

  5. Re:woo on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 5, Funny

    Rounded tabs help you get through the Internet tubes faster.

  6. Re:Another Firefox redesign... on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 1

    Which is why comments are disabled on the video *smirk*

  7. Re:Thanks. on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 1

    Yep, I agree with the idea that Chrome sucks because of its "simple" (lack of user control) interface.

  8. So much effort... on Firefox 29: Redesign · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Yet not one "feature" gives me what I really want, the ability to leave my UI the same while upgrading all the "under the hood features" and security fixes.

  9. The idea behind it.... on MIT Bitcoin Project To Create Cryptocurrency Ecosystem, Give $100 Per Student · · Score: 1

    Is to legitimize virtual currencies and get people primed for the move away from cash, because what gives those in power even more power?
    Complete and utter control over your finances.

  10. I'm all for it on To Save the Internet We Need To Own the Means of Distribution · · Score: 1

    But first ask yourself how much difference there is between government and large corporations in this day and age.

  11. Laugh on Male Scent Molecules May Be Compromising Biomedical Research · · Score: 2

    Is this why females are more irritating in general?

  12. OK on White House Worried About Discrimination Through Analytics · · Score: 1

    Why is simply classifying people by their race, religion, or other attributes discrimination? Seems to me in order to have "discrimination" you would have to use that data in a negative (or positive) way, say no loans for people that are "purple" (as an example) and then use the data classification to isolate all the purple people.

    It seems to me PC'ism has gotten out of control and is a real threat now.

    Screw privacy that's gone at this point, what I want is to be able to see what they have collected about me, all of it.

  13. And yet on How the FCC Plans To Save the Internet By Destroying It · · Score: 2

    I'm mocked when I point out the blatant conspiracy between corporations and the FCC.

    Why are you using Facebook?

    Install Linux or Windows.

  18. Laugh on Apple Fixes Major SSL Bug In OS X, iOS · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Just here to scoff at Apple *again* feel free to mod down.

  19. Laugh on Scammers Lower Comcast Bills, Get Jail Time · · Score: 1

    These guys are heros.

  20. Would .5 million people die?

  21. huh on Heartbleed Pricetag To Top $500 Million? · · Score: 1

    Why does it really cost anything, update your certs and software and send out an email telling customers to do the same.

    Someone please clue me in on why silly things like this "cost millions and millions".

    Or is it an "open source" smear campaign.

  22. Cool on Beer Price Crisis On the Horizon · · Score: 1

    I'll dump my by products or find another way to sell it and keep my price, there by beating the competition.

    Code repositories were compromised by the NSA (or other capable group)
