  1. Re:Cue the Whiners on Win Or Lose, Discrimination Suit Is Having an Effect On Silicon Valley · · Score: 1

    I see women whining about this issue making claims, you're not bothered by that?

  2. Re:Why? Because... on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 1

    uh, with your phrase "their ilk" you contradict yourself, Comcast does indeed have competitors, so you have no point. You elected the lawmakers.

  3. Re: Invisible hand on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: -1, Troll

    So providers should provide broadband as a charity?

    See, the thing about poor people is, they're broke and so make poor customers.

  4. Re:So not that cheap on First Nuclear Power Plant Planned In Jordan · · Score: 2

    Sorry but Jordan has sand storms, they're hell on wind turbines.

  5. Re:Economics on First Nuclear Power Plant Planned In Jordan · · Score: 2

    Nonsense, the reactor vessels are good for 60 or more years, heads might need replacing every 40. Those iron components have isotopes of concern iron-55, iron-59, cobalt-60 and zinc-65. with half lives of 2.7 years, 45 days, 5.3 years, 245 days respectively. In other words, after 50 years NO PROBLEM.

  6. What astronauts exactly? And why put something in the path of possible future moon missions (made by perhaps smarter countries than the USA)

    No, they rotate around a barycentre which is 1710km under the Earth's surface.

    Use google, about 2 billion smart phone users by the end of this year, over 4 billion mobile phone users total. More and more people planetwide getting automobiles, middle class home, mobile computers.

    Computers have created jobs, and everyone in the office uses a computer.

    Not sure where you doom predictions are coming from, been hearing them for 30 years...

    No they can't, they're resentful (as well they should be). The slaves didn't do much for western railroad, for example, paid asian workers did three times the work. And picking cotton? c'mon, that's a machine's job. The pyramids weren't built by slaves, there were cities for the paid construction workers and tombs for the ones that died, look up. Slavery is just a very evil way to get a less than half-assed job done.

    false, the "nuclear rifle" 's warhead weighed only 51 lbs. and had yield of 20 tons of TNT...that would be worth putting on missile for certain applications.

  11. Re:Define "Threatened" and "Unwelcome" on A Software Project Full of "Male Anatomy" Jokes Causes Controversy · · Score: 2

    You live in a sheltered world then. White males more qualified can get passed over for job because a quota needs filled. Feminist literature is filled with hate against men, and superiority rather than equality the stated goal.

  12. Re:Normal women... on A Software Project Full of "Male Anatomy" Jokes Causes Controversy · · Score: 1

    Yes, "racism" by some people's definition might be fine and dandy in many places. So might "sexism". Normal humans say things that people with chips on their shoulders might consider racist, sexist, etc. Not your place to tell others what to do. Not your place to rebuke normal human behaviour.

  13. Re:Hilarious on For Boot Camp Users, New Macs Require Windows 8 Or Newer · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Many of us require a full-featured real operating system rather than Microsoft's badly designed program loader. But our jobs require us to run Windows software sometimes. So I run Windows in a vm, no reason to that crippled crapware to monopolize my hardware

  14. mqsql has ideal use cases on Why I Choose PostgreSQL Over MySQL/MariaDB · · Score: 1

    If you don't care about your data, and don't mind it getting corrupted every few years, put it in mysql or a fork of it. I've seen it time and again over the last 15 years clobber data at various employers. Developers use that hobbyist grade toy because they don't know any better, it's what they played with on their pc so they use it at work.

    yup, that one takes an interesting approach to kerning. it doesn't do it.

  19. What a joke on Feds Fine Verizon $3.4 Million Over 911 Service Outage Issues · · Score: 1

    quarter hour's worth of revenue, not even a slap on wrist. Off by at least two orders of magnitude to make Verizon even feel it a little

  20. Re:3.4 mill? on Feds Fine Verizon $3.4 Million Over 911 Service Outage Issues · · Score: 1

    potential harm of no import, but punishment sufficient to ensure future compliance is. Verizon pulls in over 10 billion dollars revenue a month, or $13.5 million per hour. Ineffectual feds just fined them about 15 minutes worth of revenue.

    Unlike eurotrash, who use intelligent sounding sentences to reveal their vacuous minds having only addiction to fashion and "must be seen here" places as driving forces; though the females also have the anorexia hobby going.
