  1. Re:The Wrong Question on Amazon Will Pay $0 in Federal Taxes on $11.2 Billion Profits (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    Government provides services. Those services have to be funded. Yes, theoretically we could probably run a government on just a Value Added Tax, if we weren't trying to be the policeman for the entire world.

  2. Thanks, Republican tax reform! on Amazon Will Pay $0 in Federal Taxes on $11.2 Billion Profits (fortune.com) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Thanks, Trump!

  3. "Socialism never worked"?!? Top ten most socialist countries: China Denmark Finland Netherlands Canada Sweden Norway Ireland New Zealand Belgium Socialism seems to be working fine in all those countries! Yes, Venezuela was criminally mismanaged by people with zero understanding of basic economics, but it is by no means a good example of a socialist state.

  4. Such a deal! on NASA's SPHEREx Mission Will Investigate the Origins of the Universe (engadget.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That's less than the cost of a couple months of Trump visits to his own golf courses!

  5. Re: Then you have two problems on You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Not true. One of my favorite live-in girlfriends was a woman I met while she was working at Informix and I was working at Oracle (so we should have been natural enemies). She was a consummate Unix nerd! Also an ex-stripper from her teen years in Portland.

  7. I haven't yet found any strip clubs that accept cryptocurrency!

  8. I hear American cougars are making a comeback too!

  9. Why is God so pissed off at Greenland?

  10. Re:Then you have two problems on You Can Now Run Windows 10 on the Raspberry Pi 3 (tomshardware.com) · · Score: 1

    The only reason to run Windows is to use the Office Suite for compatibility with the modern bussiness world and much of the academic world.

    Well, that and the chicks... chick dig people who run Winders!

  11. But can it sort them by boob size?

  12. They should start one for sheep! on Tinder-Style App For Cows Tries To Help the Meat Market (bbc.com) · · Score: 0

    Those Trump supporter incels need lovin' too!

  13. Re:The bar for AI will be set very low on Trump Administration Unveils Order To Prioritize and Promote AI (reuters.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That's nothing, my dog has a 30 point IQ advantage on the dotard! Too bad she's not old enough to run for president!

  14. They are finally giving Al Gore the credit he deserves for inventing the internet! Oh wait... I might have misread one of those letters...

  15. Really?!? on Mars One is Dead (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I am shocked! SHOCKED, I tell you! Who could possibly have expected that this was a scam? /sarcasm

  16. They still do it in heavily African-American neighborhoods. My favorite story is about watching The Exorcist, and when Linda Blair was floating up in the air, someone shouted in a Don Pardo voice, "Come on down!"

  17. I've always wondered why they stopped selling products with names like "AIDS"...

  18. It's called "The Law of Unintended Consequences". Google it.

  19. Wouldn't it be a lot easier to slap the little bastards into oblivion than to feed them diet pills?

  20. You know what else gets harder after it's been in your mouth for awhile?

  21. You mean David Brin's "The Practice Effect" is REAL?!? I always thought that was the least believable premise ever for science fiction.

  22. Now can somebody write a bot to help manage my Tinder account? Just kidding, I'm a guy, nobody swipes right on me! (Please don't suggest I use Grindr instead!)

  23. Better be cattle, where the heck are you going to find a virgin these days? (Fortnite players never leave their mom's basement.)

  24. Re:Banking by the seat of your pants. on Digital Exchange Loses $137 Million As Founder Takes Passwords To the Grave (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    It's usually a post-it note in the top drawer... that's how I "hacked" the Admissions and Records office at the college I went to! (True story!) I then got in trouble for playing games using the Admissions and Record's account (strangely, games were disabled for student accounts but not for staff).

  25. Easy to write on Crime Prediction Software 'Adopted By 14 UK Police Forces' (bbc.com) · · Score: 0
