  1. Yay! on Linux 4.20 Released in Time for Christmas (betanews.com) · · Score: 1

    How should we celebrate this release?

  2. Re:Meanwhile in Wyoming... on Tokyo Wants People To Stand on Both Sides of the Escalator (citylab.com) · · Score: 1

    People in Wyoming get stranded on escalators for hours when they lose power!

  3. I'm an American... people should GET THE FUCK OUT OF MY WAY! ;-)

  4. Free to play... on Fortnite Teen Hackers 'Earning Thousands of Dollars a Week' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Who the HELL pays money for skins? My daughter got her Microsoft Live account cancelled for buying loot boxes without permission...

  5. That finally explains it! on Breakthrough Ultrasound Treatment To Reverse Dementia Moves To Human Trials · · Score: 3, Funny

    Those noises in my head are just trying to knock the plaque loose!

  6. How about shotguns?

  7. Just wait until people figure out how trivially easy it is to attach a weapon to a large drone...

  8. Does the airport have the authority to shoot down any drones that are endangering planes taking off or landing? Nobody minds them shooting birds with shotguns...

  9. What I do on Google Working on Blocking Back Button Hijacking in Chrome (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Teach your idiot friends and family how to use Task Manager to kill the Chrome process, instead of calling the "Microsoft Support" number and giving them your credit card number!

  10. Re:Yeah Yeah Yeah on T-Mobile Denies Lying To FCC About Size of Its 4G Network (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Melania? Stormy Daniels? Karen McDougal?

  11. Not 100% accurate on Remove.bg is a Website That Removes Backgrounds from Portraits in Seconds (petapixel.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    I tried it, and it's not perfect at distinguishing foreground from background, so the picture of myself I gave it came back with a huge black lump on the side of my faces that should have been part of the background. Of course, I could clean up that minor imperfection in photoshop.

  12. Re:Spend less money ya dumb commies! on FCC Forces California To Drop Plan For Government Fees On Text Messages (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Gee, what a COINCIDENCE that the state with the HIGHEST POPULATION would also have the HIGHEST NUMBER OF HOMELESS!

  13. Re:Oracle = the Nazis on Oracle's CTO: No Way a 'Normal' Person Would Move To AWS (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Oracle hasn't gassed any of it's customers... yet.

  14. Ellison is laughing... on Oracle's CTO: No Way a 'Normal' Person Would Move To AWS (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    ...all the way to his own private Hawaiian island (Lanai)!

  15. Nobody in their right mind would pay for Oracle!

  16. Re:Spend less money ya dumb commies! on FCC Forces California To Drop Plan For Government Fees On Text Messages (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    The state otherwise known as the fifth largest economy in the world? That state? How big is the economy in your state?

  17. I wish the government had the power to significantly tax every unsolicited SMS message, phone call, and email I receive! Especially the ones where they are spoofing the caller id!

  18. Re:I'm genuinely curious on CenturyLink Blocked Its Customers' Internet Access in Order To Show an Ad (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    My ex doesn't even open the envelope bills come in, just stuff them in a random drawer. It took her 6 months to find out that T-Mobile was billing her $9.99/month for a service she never ordered, and that was only because I opened up her bill and told her about it!

  19. Sounds like a serious liability... on CenturyLink Blocked Its Customers' Internet Access in Order To Show an Ad (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 4, Interesting

    When they disable my internet without warning and suddenly my 911 calls over my VoIP line don't work any more!

  20. That's no longer Google's motto. "in October 2015, Alphabet took "Do the right thing" as its motto, also forming the opening of its corporate code of conduct. The original motto was retained in Google's code of conduct, now a subsidiary of Alphabet. In April 2018, the motto was removed from the code of conduct's preface and retained in its last sentence."

  21. Amen. We had a manager at Intel who told one of her QA contractors Friday evening: "Don't bother coming in Monday!" When pressed, she admitted that she had known for weeks that she was getting rid of the contractor, but didn't want to tell him because she was afraid he wouldn't finish the job he was working on before leaving!

  22. You don't read the bible do you? Onan's sin was spilling his seed on the ground instead of impregnating his brother's wife like any good brother would have done for his sterile bro!

  23. I'm pretty sure the copyright on Newton's Principia Mathematica has expired, and anybody can publish it now...

  24. All it takes is one student who knows how to use a copying machine!

  25. Quantum Human Centipede?
