  1. Re:I did not know... on D.C. Police Detonate Man's 'Suspicious' Pressure Cooker · · Score: 2

    And if you're trying to move a pressure cooker around, it's probably 14 years too late to do so on public transportation...

  2. Re:Ownership and Appreciation on From Commune To Sharing Economy Startup · · Score: 1

    Truly is lovely. Sharing is caring and business wants a cut of the action.

  3. Re:Sadly, it's cultural on Hundreds Expelled, Many Arrested, For Cheating In India's School Exams · · Score: 1

    Worse, every single one of these individuals bragged about how they "beat the system."

    If only they were talking about taxes, then they'd be wholly embraced by the Republican party. ...except for the brown skin part anyway.

  4. Re: Perspective on NASA Video Shows What It's Like To Reenter the Earth's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    I would also be very pleased to have the raw video (compressed slightly for convenience) in the native aspect ratio.

  5. Re: Perspective on NASA Video Shows What It's Like To Reenter the Earth's Atmosphere · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Maybe a running graph of speed and altitude, g-forces, marks for when the various chutes open or are released. That'd be much better than this.

  6. Re: Let's talk about sex, baby on Overly Familiar Sci-Fi · · Score: 1

    Or, indeed, promise rings or purity/chastity rings?

  7. Re:i don't think so on The Driverless Future: Buses, Not Taxis · · Score: 1

    Working multiple jobs, job+school, kid(s)+any of the previous.... Yeah, five minutes extra for every bus ride adds up. It's not as though they really want to be rushing every where but it's what the mutated economy has morphed into demanding.

  8. Re:is it really bad in the first place? on Breath Test For Pot Being Developed At WSU · · Score: 1

    It is a shame they canned Kari, Grant, and Tory because this would be perfect for Mythbusters.

  9. Re:The French are the world's Standards Board on Blame America For Everything You Hate About "Internet Culture" · · Score: 2

    There has to be at least one!

    Maybe set it in the back of the bathroom like so:
    |U|T|T|T|T|
    | |
    |
    | |_ _ _ _
    |_|T|T|T|T|

    This way boys can still test their might and see how far they can peep without hosing a toilet.

  10. He's letting ahf some steam.

  11. Re:This is news, how exactly? on Denuvo DRM Challenges Game Crackers · · Score: 1

    Voting with your wallet isn't useless. That money can be used to support different developers, publishers, and industries.

  12. Re:Spiritual Needs on Jedi-ism Becomes a Serious Religion · · Score: 1

    I always found it funny that we learned about Roman and Greek gods / divine beings as mythological but our god, oh, he's definitely real!

  13. Re:Awesome quote on Worcester Mass. City Council Votes To Keep Comcast From Entering the Area · · Score: 1

    I haven't heard as many Charter stories as Comcast ones but hopefully if/when you cancel, they won't be asking for a non-existent modem of theirs.

  14. Re:Striking air traffic controllers fired on Nearly 2,000 Chicago Flights Canceled After Worker Sets Fire At Radar Center · · Score: 1

    Ah, yes, the big, bad UNION . I don't defend them all (police unions are the biggest sacks of unionized assholes in the world) but let's take your Verizon example and switch it up a bit.

    Boeing and Microsoft have or are threatening Washington state. Both are doing it for profit for the companies and directly against the interest of their own employees. What about the collusion among tech companies to not hire each other's employees? Why devalue and demonize workers so much? Demand higher standards, absolutely, but understand that sometimes we need to to fight back rather than fighting each other for the scraps.

  15. Re:Obligatory on Nearly 2,000 Chicago Flights Canceled After Worker Sets Fire At Radar Center · · Score: 1

    If it was on the Simpsons, it is.

  16. I hate Steam for doing this. All those fucking cards and coupons in my inventory and no option to just delete them. Also, I know it was part of a pack I bought but I know I'm never going to touch Deus Ex Invisible War. Yeah, I know it'd be an extremely rare thing to want to do and more likely to be used for nefarious trolling purposes but still...

    I have issues.

  17. Re:Simple solution on CBC Warns Canadians of "US Law Enforcement Money Extortion Program" · · Score: 1

    What does it matter? The tax payers of that jurisdiction are the ones with the bill.

  18. Re:Sue the bastards on In Maryland, a Soviet-Style Punishment For a Novelist · · Score: 2

    Thirty generations about thirty years apart? I like your precision.

  19. Yay! We did it, mom! on Deputy Who Fatally Struck Cyclist While Answering Email Will Face No Charges · · Score: 2

    Racism is over! Wooo! Yeeah!

    We only um... replaced it with a police state.

    What's that? We can have both? ..urk.

  20. Re:Got one of these once on TechCentral Scams Call Center Scammers · · Score: 1

    Well, let us all do the big thing and gamify this situation. Record your calls and upload them so we can setup some proper leaderboards with proof.

  21. What about the radiation dosage? on Researchers Find Security Flaws In Backscatter X-ray Scanners · · Score: 1

    Can we now get a reliable measurement of the amount of energy output and absorption rates as well as which tissues and locations take the heaviest dose?

  22. Re:Use the force on Correcting Killer Architecture · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just put another building in the way? Maybe one designed to channel the wind up?

  23. Re:The Discovery channel? on Kevlar Protects Cables From Sharks, Experts Look For Protection From Shark Week · · Score: 1

    The narration in the 2007 version sounds like Tosh.0 or something equally as vapid and shit.

  24. Re:Jezebel? on Writer: Internet Comments Belong On Personal Blogs, Not News Sites · · Score: 2

    CNN's content makes me want to throw up.

  25. Re:Mod parent up. on Opera Releases a New Version For Linux · · Score: 1

    Still on 12 here, too. I'm still a bit miffed that they took the choice away from having tabs below the address bar or having bookmarks or buttons to the right of the main menu or having a dedicated stop loading button from 9 or 10. The only thing keeping me from going Firefox full time is mouse gestures.
