  1. Re:Necessary reading on The Dutch Village Where Everyone Has Dementia · · Score: 3, Funny

    they can run the same dupes over and over each day

  2. Re:Why all the hate? on World's Youngest Microsoft Certificated Professional Is Five Years Old · · Score: 1

    Why yes, I am and have been a admin of real operating systems (posix, midrange and mainframe); Microsoft Certified "pros" have little useful skills or understanding, and I've seen more time wasted on a single Windows server than dozens of servers running a real OS.

  3. Re:no mention of linux? on World's Youngest Microsoft Certificated Professional Is Five Years Old · · Score: 1

    I was sad the child wasn't exposed to one of many real operating systems rather than redmond's glorified program loader.

  4. Re:Solution on American Express Seeks To Swap Card Numbers For Secure Tokens · · Score: 1

    this is a tech site, you are supposed to have familiarity with encryption and private/public key. You are supposed to realize a computer doesn't care if you copy/paste or transmit a 32 digit number vs. a 16 digit one. Here are some words for you: [trolling ignoramus with no point]

  5. non-issue? on Machine Learning Used To Predict Military Suicides · · Score: 2

    Once corrected for age demographics (which people tallying raw numbers usually forget to do), the suicide rate in US military is lower than civilian population. Rather impressive for organization whose purpose is to kill, maim and blow up shit.

  6. Re:Split last-mile from ISP on Can the US Actually Cultivate Local Competition in Broadband? · · Score: 1

    Yes, talking about making more competition in that space for Verizon outside the big players

  7. Re:Why be a guinea pig for Red Hat? on Fedora 21 Beta Released · · Score: 1

    Wrong, they should have one distro. Other superior distros show how. Alternative new kernel version could be in the repository, for example, as can alternative newer versions of scripting languages,etc as seperate package sets. Not following this strategy is why people have fled Red Hat in droves in the server space.

  8. Re:Split last-mile from ISP on Can the US Actually Cultivate Local Competition in Broadband? · · Score: 1

    legally, Comcast and AT&T are already utilities. We do need competition in the last mile, and there are ways to do that for most areas including mobile broadband

  9. Re:Solution on American Express Seeks To Swap Card Numbers For Secure Tokens · · Score: 2

    nonsense, the length of the number doesn't matter, a thief can steal a 32 digit number as easily as a 16 digit. Hexadecimal doesn't change matters either. The whole concept of using a fixed number is archaic, better solutions have been known (and have been in use in smarter countries for over a decade)

  10. Why be a guinea pig for Red Hat? on Fedora 21 Beta Released · · Score: -1, Troll

    Fedora has trial balloons and brain farts that might not every make it into RHEL. Screw Red Hat for making a separate distro.

    Hell, even that mayonnaise with three ingredients would have been plain white yogurt to be truly authentic. No Ivan with vodka fried taste buds would either appreciate nor need anything so complex

  14. Re:How Did These People Wage The Cold War??? on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 1

    What, you think liberal-thinking people make those kind of accomplishments? No way, conservatism drives military-industrial complexes, my boy. Liberal thinking is for developing artsy-fartsy things like fine cuisine; at the supermarket yesterday I saw a "russian cold salad" with six layers of ingredients: herring, carrots, beets, potatoes, onions and mayonnaise. So as we can see understanding Russian cuisine is easy to master, since they don't have any. QED, I rest my case.

  15. Re:Birthrate on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 1

    Actually, no, only a fraction of the population is consuming all the porn. The majority are just too damn busy and stressed out to even want sex. That's scary.

  16. Re:ah, I understand on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 1

    oh no, "gay tainted" is not the same thing at all as gay. For example TIm Cook is merely gay, but Jobs being "gay tainted" means that even memorials to him must be demolished, no persistence in any living person's memory is allowed. Beware the taint!

  17. Re:Because on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 1

    meh, sounds softcore pornish. Wouldn't a half-gay naked horse be more titillating?

  18. ah, I understand on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I didn't know a person could become gay-tainted after they die if their successor is gay. Hope the next person to have my job after I die isn't gay, otherwise my tombstone might set off someone's gaydar. that would be embarrassing.

    You are funny, what if 1 in one quadrillion systems is like ours (same type star and rocky planet distribution, which all Kepler data shows is not found anywhere besides here even *once*). Then we are alone in the this galaxy and in all the similarly sized surrounding ones in the local cluster. Fermi Paradox is demolished, we are for all practical purposes alone and will not contact any sentient life.

    You are correct. In fact, there really is no shortage of any element in this world, despite the usual hooplah about helium (most of it just vented) or potassium (most of it buried or put to sea as as waste) etc. etc. The alarmist assumes no change in the way things are done, when economic reality will in fact demand it.
