  1. Re:I love cook and hate stallman...oh nos Android on Pi to Go: Hot Raspberry Pi DIY Mini Desktop PC Project · · Score: 1

    The bottom line is Apple should have shared. Its part of their downfall.

    Their downfall?? Seriously? Are you completely delusional?

  2. Re:Collateral damage on Oculus VR Co-founder Andrew Reisse Killed In Auto Collision · · Score: 1

    Which was also involved with, among other things, a shootout with police.

  3. Re:I believe I speak for a dozen people when I say on Amtrak Upgrades Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Who's buying tickets? How about anyone who needs to travel between Boston, NYC and Washington and doesn't want to a) be crammed into a seat three sizes too small, b) undergo a proctology exam, and c) would like to be able to use their electronic devices at will during their trip.

  4. Re:Yeah... on 97% of Climate Science Papers Agree Global Warming Is Man-made · · Score: 2

    Actually, the original point was that no, there is no large dispute among climate scientists but instead pretty much overwhelming agreement. The denialists would like you to believe that 'the science is unsettled' and there is 'growing disagreement among climate scientists'. Not so much.

  5. Re:Except its not. on Justice Department Calls Apple the "Ringmaster" In e-book Price Fixing Case · · Score: 1

    Um...other than producing the fucking books.

  6. Re:Apple need to do no evil on Justice Department Calls Apple the "Ringmaster" In e-book Price Fixing Case · · Score: 1

    Wow. Three statement. Three errors. 3 for 3. Good job, Tim and Eric!

    It's also bullshit. You keep claiming this 50% markup figure without any cite to back it up.

  8. Re:800,000 years? on CO2 Levels Reach 400ppm at Mauna Loa For First Time On Record · · Score: 1

    But you're too fucking lazy to read the many links given that explain their methodology and why the measurements are valid. Because it doesn't suit your fucking agenda. It's pretty clear who the idiot is here.

    Ooookaaaayyyyyyy. .backs away slowly.

  11. Re:Saving everyone a few seconds on wiki on The New AI: Where Neuroscience and Artificial Intelligence Meet · · Score: 1

    Isn't that sort of like crossing the beams?

  12. Re:Microsoft doesn't care about PC anymore on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    Good strategy. Let the customers that make up a microscopic portion of the ...you know, market, dictate to the rest of them.

  13. Re:New Coke was a Flop? on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    Of course the taste was different. Have you ever had a coke in Mexico?

  14. Re:"You're holding it wrong" on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    Thats kind of the point. On a tablet, it's at least reasonable. On a desktop, it's a clusterf*ck.

  15. Re:It's like deja vu all over again on Microsoft's "New Coke" Moment? · · Score: 1

    It isn't just that it's a new UI, it't that Microsoft decided that suddenly, hey-presto, we all have touch screen interfaces for our PCs now totally ignoring the fact that people generally stick with their desktops for a few years, even assuming that people /want/ a touch interface for a desktop computer. I know I don't. Makes perfect sense on a table, desktop, not so much. And then there's the whole Windows no longer supports windows thing... It's truly remarkable that such a huge company loaded with so many allegedly bright people could get something so momumentally wrong.

  17. Re:this is sad, just sad... on Florida Teen Expelled and Arrested For Science Experiment · · Score: 1

    This is why the have zero tolerance policies. It's cowardice, pure and simple. The administrator's are afraid they may make a decision that will upset someone. Now, with zero tolerance policies in place, they can just shrug, point and say "See? Our hands were tied. Nothing we could do."

  18. Re:ah the anti-NSF crowd again on SOPA Creator Now In Charge of NSF Grants · · Score: 1

    The point is that research, particularly pure research, can sound ridiculous when taken out of context, but usually there is a sound scientific reason for it.

  19. Re:This is a warning many need to hear on Getting a Literature Ph.D. Will Make You Into a Horrible Person · · Score: 1

    What kind of moronic thing is it to replace the S in SHIT with a dollar sign? What does that even /mean/ in the context of this discussion?

  20. Re:This little guy on North Korea Declares a State of War · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure that if they used one of their two nuclear weapons (or chemical weapons for that matter) they'd cease to exist roughly 20 minutes later.

    Isn't that what they said about Saddam?

    While South Korea has hardware from, you know, this century.

    I thought the Razor Edge Pro was a razor.

  24. Re:Better question on Can You Really Hear the Difference Between Lossless, Lossy Audio? · · Score: 2

    It doesn't take massively expensive equipment to hear differences. Just a decent amplifier and decent speakers.

  25. Re:Seems like the B moives you see on the syfy cha on Indie Horror Film Shows What You Can Do (And Get) For Free · · Score: 1

    Actually, I'd say much better than run-of-the-mill Most Dangerous Night on TV SyFy originals. This movie doesn't take itself seriously. Those do. Plus, this one is better lighted.
