  1. "For a better experience, check out Ars Technica."

    Nope. They are so wrong in so many of their articles that they're simply not worth the effort to read.

  2. Seriously, almost every story I've been able to find on here the past two weeks has pretty much come off of HackerNews. I come here for original shit, not aggregated curated garbage from a shit American site that restricts speech.

    Upside: You could guarantee Japan would knock out any NK-aimed nukes heading towards the USA. On top of that, they'll carve an incoming pathway for ours.

    "The amount of UV radiation given off by the sun is greater than what one would be exposed to while welding"

    Yea, tell that to my welder's tan. I can be burned with 30 minutes of work on a welder, I won't even be burned after 6 hours mining in the desert.

  5. Good luck aiming with no eyesight. ;)

    "they are separate entities legally"

    Legality quite often runs afoul of reality. They're still lying. They are one and the same at the most basic level, so they are the one and the same all the way through the chain.

    They're still owned by the same person or company. That's how it works.

    I looked at their address on Google Earth - 4339 Boul Bourque, Sherbrooke, QC J1N 1S4, Canada

    There is NO other entity at that address. It's fully and wholly a Kia Dealership lot, both from satellite and street views. The only thing even CLOSE is an alignment shop, across the street, but that one seems to only do alignments for large vehicles (semi trailers, judging by what I could see inside the open bay doors.)

    The dealership, like most car dealerships on the planet, are lying their asses off.

    " Non-cluttered, no-charge freeways."

    I can tell you don't live any where near a metropolitan area.

    "Non-cluttered public streets."

    See above.

    "Patents."

    Good. Get fucking rid of the abused things.

    "Copyrights."

    Good. Get rid of it.

    "Cell phones and radios that work 10% of the time."

    Good, give me one that works 100% of the time.

    The only real negative out of that entire list of yours is the national parks. Let's try making a better list to prove your point, eh?

    I'm never calm because you ignorant fucks are what makes this planet so fucked up.

    Give me a gun and enough ammunition, I'll eventually calm down. And most of you would be dead.

  13. "This is not Australia and quite frankly there is no sensible reason in this day and age that licensing your guns would be a bad idea."

    We're moving to energy weapons. You have fun with your inaccurate loud as fuck guns, sonny boy. Meanwhile we'l sit here with our lasers fucking your eyes with no remorse and no license required!

    Not a goddamned thing.

    Investing in guns and ammunition is a better and smarter investment. That's how stupid fucking Bitcoin is, that implements of destruction are a better investment.

    "The "war on drugs" is a political construct with no scientific evidence backing it."

    Yea, lemme tell you about the studies done on meth users... right down to the fact i have a drug treatment hospital not even 40 yards from my property.

    When they 'escape' they just fuck it all up around our area. (I say 'escape because they have shitty security protocols, we've had to deal with escapees on our block more than once.)

    The hyper people given meth-based drugs are calm, yet you'd expect them to be hype due to the drugs normal method of action.

    Take your ass back to school you fake biologist. You don't know a goddamned thing about medicine and as someone on those medications you need to shut the fuck up.

    "If people are happy they will not change anything to risk it going away."

    I'm happy as hell and I'd change anything just for some fucking monotony relief. Don't lump all people together, or you might find yourself with a friend planting a knife in your back when you least expect it.

  20. They're large if you go by weight class - they're both three classes above me (though that means nothing when it comes to technical ability and my nearly 80cm reach. Us tall and lanky outboxers get our wins by keeping the opponent the fuck away from us. Mayweather's got reach but no connection capability unless you're in close. A few taps to the side of his temple and he's done for, it's one of the weakest points he has because it's always been guarded and not hit so often as to be able to know and withstand the damage.)

  21. What, you've never watched Bumfights?

    Most of those were far more entertaining than the MacGregor/Mayweather match, and usually last only a couple of minutes.

  22. Thousands of endpoints versus millions of endpoints. You do the math.

  23. "it isn't realistic to load test it under actual live circumstances when those circumstances differ sharply from normal use"

    Bullshit. We have VMs for just this reason - spawn up a fuckton of instances and connect to the service to see if it can handle the load. Make the automated connections spread themselves out or clusterfuck together so you can see where your weaknesses lie.

    This is basic fucking IT work, boss. Hell, this is basic network building - ensure you've got the bandwidth and connection capability to support your clientele.

  24. "So in other words, they bundle fights like cable companies bundle packages to make you feel like you're getting a decent deal."

    Apparently you've never looked at the ranking system, boxing rules/regulations, etc. Multi-class exhibitions are standard fare for boxing matches. How else do fighters get known if each full-scale event only has one fight that lasts maybe 20 minutes at best?

  25. "2 Dec, and 30 Dec."

    Except there's two periods in one month right there.
