  1. Wake me when they imprison the Uber execs on Uber Drivers Arrested By Undercover Cops In Hong Kong · · Score: 1

    Uber doesn't care about it's serfs.

  2. Hello, Dave, I'm hoping today will be a good day on Hackers Remotely Cut a Corvette's Brakes · · Score: 1

    Would you like to have the brakes go out as we round this steep hill, or after we get to the bottom near the lake?

  3. It's the citiations not the collaborators on How Many Scientists Does It Take To Write a Paper? Apparently, Thousands · · Score: 1

    What matters is how many other papers cite your groundbreaking work.

    Not the number of collaborators you have.

  4. Re:Fine but they should invest in wind next on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    Wind power is indeed cheaper. Source: US DOE 2015 interim reports.

    Adapt or die in a radioactive tax-subsidized cloud.

    That's tax dollars you're soaking in, Abe.

  5. Re:What energy prices have risen? on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1

    The government-subsidized production and operations of nuclear fission power plants prices.

    Which have very little to do with actual free market power prices.

    Those are the prices they're referring to.

  6. Need something to arm Japan with nuclear warheads on Japan To Restart Nuclear Power Tomorrow After Energy Prices Soar · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Oh, wait, were we supposed to pretend PM Abe is peaceful?

    Yeah, sure.

    The best use for the area is to cover the nuclear radioactive fields with wind and solar plants, and step away from the eternal conflict that nuclear fission represents.

  7. Re:Changing harmful practices is better on How Uber Is Changing Life For Women In Saudi Arabia · · Score: 1

    Iraq is Iran. How naive you are. Everyone knows that. You probably think Turkey is attacking ISIL when they are actually attacking Kurdish rebels who have been attacking ISIL.

    The facts on the ground are not in favor of papering over sexist actions that go against human rights.

  8. Re:How come we've never "liberated" SA? on How Uber Is Changing Life For Women In Saudi Arabia · · Score: 2

    Because the Bushes are cowards.

  9. Changing harmful practices is better on How Uber Is Changing Life For Women In Saudi Arabia · · Score: 1

    Half measures allow you to paper over the intolerance and sexism endemic to that society.

  10. Haven't been using it recently, but might on Study: Ad Blocker Use Jumps 41 Percent · · Score: 1

    Am finding these p3rvy autoloud vids to be way too much.

    Might have to install Ad-Blocker

  11. Re:Good luck on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    After everyone got into Kill The Magic mode, it got boring, unless you were playing as a Healer, and then you got one-shot by the Rogues so that got boring fast.

  12. Re:Short version: Buy Boats on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    No, in Darkmoon Faire. Mostly Deadly Nightshade and weapons and armor.

  13. Re:Good luck on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    personally I hate PvP. I have a char on a PvP server, but since somewhere around Burning it got boring. So I just do PvE.

  14. Re:treadmill on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    Same here. I like solo, but team up with real FTF friends to do dungeons and raids. It's how I roll.

  15. Short version: Buy Boats on World of Warcraft's Next Expansion: Legion · · Score: 1

    Think about the title.

    Will we get a free 100 boost with the expansion? Given that it would make sense, why not?

    Looking forward to playing a 110 Murloc Demon Hunter. Especially since I unlocked all my Heirlooms.

  16. Also allows US to nuke Japan over drug prices on TPP Copyright Chapter Leaks: Website Blocking, New Criminal Rules On the Way · · Score: 1

    What gets me is the provision buried in the TPP that allows the United States to nuke Japan if they fail to implement a 22 year patent for all drug modifications, which would result in countries like Japan, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada paying about 20 to 100 times as much for prescription drugs, bankrupting Japan especially, with their aging population.

    Surprised Japan didn't object to that provision.

  17. Re:PC Echo chamber on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 1

    OK, we get it, you love Macs.

    Just stop trying to push your OS choice on us. We'll use Win 7 if we want to.

  18. Still Being Hosted != Ban on Reddit Updates Content Policy, Bans More Subreddits · · Score: 1

    Clippy pops up: "I see you're trying to ban a subreddit"

    Making it less visible is not banning it.

  19. Re:Until something goes wrong on Will Robot Cabs Unjam the Streets? · · Score: 1

    Humans can go to jail.

    Thank you for proving my point.

  20. Re:Another thought... sharing robot cars on Will Robot Cabs Unjam the Streets? · · Score: 1

    I think that sharing robot cars might work for group homes for disabled people, and retirement communities. And even university student communities.

    There you have people without a high demand for cars, but who might find the convenience of having a robot car available of great utility.

    Like party hopping or going shopping.

  21. Re:Simpler solution... on Will Robot Cabs Unjam the Streets? · · Score: 2

    Bad choice.

    Why should cities subsidize parking?

    Parking is an inefficient subsidized usage of valuable real estate.

    It might make some sense in suburbs, but it tends to be a subsidized inefficient use of land in urban centers.

    Try using transit or biking.

  22. Until something goes wrong on Will Robot Cabs Unjam the Streets? · · Score: 1

    And a cyclist or small child dies.

    Look, are robot cabs useful for: a. drunk people, b.disabled people (tremors, surgery, conditions), c. people with impaired vision or slow reactions (especially older people)?

    Probably yes.

    However, where we allow them and where they can operate might be different than for other cars.

    And the first small child that dies it's lawsuit city, and they will never, ever, ever give up.

  23. Re: Most global diseases involve energy and water on Why Bill Gates Is Dumping Another $1 Billion Into Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    I am not at liberty to discuss that.

  24. Re:OpenOffice vs LibreOffice on LibreOffice 5.0 Released · · Score: 1

    Which sells out all your rights to your corporate masters, serf.
