  1. Re:Follow the money. on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    Love this image.

  2. Re:Follow the money. on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    The real question is why he doesn't get fucking smart and actually buy his way in to some interactive media, rather than simply harping against an industry that competes with his pet one.

  3. Lol on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    Gotta love how "sexual innuendo in the names of kill streaks" turns in to "sexual situations and acts in video games".
    I mean we all know how it works - kill 4 people and it's violence; kill 4 people and display "Gangbang" on the screen, and it is a graphic depiction of rape!

  4. Re:I'm Confused on Sony Gets Geohot's Hardware, But Not YouTube/Twitter User Info · · Score: 1

    Well, wouldn't it also be a reasonable protection of his privacy? Sony certainly does not have the right to access any systems to which they find his login info.

  5. Re:Local link sites / business directories on Google Goes After Content Farms · · Score: 1

    The internet is full of shoddy businesses that survive on SEO. It seems to me like it has been several years since the last big redesign of rankings to fuck the SEOs. Google has essentially been blowing off search (I think they have their advertising spread around enough that they no longer want to provide search at all)

  6. Hell Yeah! on Google Goes After Content Farms · · Score: 1

    Please tell me this works the way I want it to. "User noglorp has blocked www.w3schools.com from appearing in ALL search results: nobody will be bothered by them again."

  7. Lol on Common Traits of the Veteran Unix Admin · · Score: 1

    Where others may see intractable, overly difficult methods, we see enlightenment, borne from years of learning, experience, and overall, logic.

    One sign of the veteran Unix admin: dealing with archaic absurdities will have driven them completely mad. You may see them referring to things like Xorg, init.d scripts, or anything else about Unix (besides how certain variants are licensed) as "Enlightened" or "Logical".

  8. !news on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    Who cares what the W3C says? This doesn't really make any sense. Remember how HTML5 signifies the shift to "Versionless"? The W3C is essentially trying to undermine WhatWG's guidance.

    HTML5 is already largely stable and in production use with incredible interoperability.

    So the real question is this: what do we do about the W3C now that they are not just impeding progress with their absurdly slow pace or conflated bureaucracy, but are actually engaging in FUD to steal the thunder from people who are actually moving the standards forward!?

  9. Re:It'll be obsolete by then... on As HTML5 Gets 2014 Final Date, Flash Floods Mobile · · Score: 1

    Exactly what is happening here. Nobody gives a flying fuck what the W3C says / plans. WhatWG has been the real body running things.

  10. Re:Just remember, everyone on Stuxnet Struck Five Targets In Iran · · Score: 1

    Lol. Unless the attack was formulated and perpetrated by / at the behest of a government. Like Stux (hint: read HBGary emails for references to Stuxnet)

  11. Re:Very true -- Please read. on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    Btw this is where the "just doesn't love math" shit originates. No one ever came along and was like "Oh no, now I'm ACTUALLY AT THE MARKET buying 4 things that are $30 cents and 2 things that are $50 cents... OMG I HATE MATH!" Instead they fuckin learn their arithmetic.

  12. Re:Very true -- Please read. on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    Bullshit bullshit bullshit. People learn the basics naturally without school - forcing multiplication tables and shit on them scares them away and causes them to shut down to the subject.
    I seriously doubt all this "basics" shit has anything like the degree of merit people claim.

  13. Re:Teach for the test on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    Disagree strongly. Standardized tests have only been around so long; how did anyone learn before then!?! How did we even learn how to make standardized tests, without a standardized test to objectively judge how well the test-making-students were learning!?
    Then again, maybe that is why they are such a failure, eh?

  14. Re:Teach for the test on Sputnik Moment Or No, Science Fairs Are Lagging · · Score: 1

    I think the concept of "The Teather' is broken as shit. There should be atleast 2-3 adults running a class, so if one arbitrarily takes a disliking/liking to certain students (THEY ALWAYS DO) it has a chance to be balanced out.

    Don't ask, now he's gonna tell us. I'd much rather get back to Jersey Shore already.

  16. Re:google instant vs duckduckgo on Bing Is Cheating, Copying Google Search Results · · Score: 1

    They have always targeted their audience. Techies used it first so it was good (people were looking for good results). Now you search a part number and turn up a pop hit.

    40Mil? Chump change relative to the importance of the issues at hand. We can spend a billion dollars a year buying Egypt tear gas to use on it's citizens and shit.

    HR is in the stone ages, so they can't figure out how to hire good people.

    Great that it exists, now it just need new software, a spiffy redesign, it's own domain, and marketing. Whose down to do it?!

  22. Re:Class Difference on The Rise and Rise of the Cognitive Elite · · Score: 1

    This is assuming that College is the best place to learn these things. This has been changing for many years, and is no longer the case. At this point, going to XYZ semi-prestigious university really just means you don't have the time to take MIT open course-ware for free. However, because of the universal hiring process, this is ignored.
