  1. Re: Um, it won't work on Government of Canada's Plan To Improve Cybersecurity? Be Less Attractive (eweek.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    Nationalist uprisings have killed the USSR, not Reagan. He just took the credit.

    They had 10-11 hour shifts back then.

  3. Re:Smart Move on Saudi Arabia Puts World's Biggest Solar Power Project On Hold (dw.com) · · Score: 1

    Coal is slowly becoming uneconomical for electricity production but it is absolutely essential for primary steelmaking in a blast furnace.

  4. Re:Sounds like a relaxation oscillator on Vigilante Engineer Stops Waymo From Patenting Key Lidar Technology (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    There is no meaningful difference between these. The one is just a contraction of the other.

    You actually should have been learning the difference between "have" and "of".

  6. Re:What about non-binaries? on California Has a New Law: No More All-Male Boards (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Non-binaries oppress post-brain uploading transhumanists.

  7. Re:Baseload is king for manifacture on International Energy Agency Predicts Wind Will Dominate Europe's Grid By 2027 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    The whole base load thing only came to existence because of coal power plants that weren't able to follow the load. As soon as they (and the nukes) are closed, the base load concept will be retired.

  8. Re: Why not ban bicycles on Netherlands Proposes Legislation To Ban Use Of Phones On Bicycles (npr.org) · · Score: 1

    I do.
    It is not retarded because it shows to other cyclists that some people actually follow the traffic code. This puts peer pressure on those who don't.

  9. You are being deliberately obtuse.

    Uber is the party writing the contract, so they are the actual contractor. The driver is, in this case, either just an employee of Uber or their subcontractor. Uber argues that the latter is the case, but it is not true since Uber is - again - the party writing the contract. Subcontractors don't work that way.

  10. Horse flies for example. And their bite is pretty nasty. I'd take mosquitoes over horse flies any day.

  11. There are nuts who consider any tax socialist despite the concept of taxes being at least 5 millennia old.

    Except Synology uses Intel CPUs in most of their NAS systems.

  14. Re:More diesel locomotives than I thought on First Hydrogen-Powered Train Hits the Tracks In Germany (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yep, same plan for this line I use often

  15. Re:More diesel locomotives than I thought on First Hydrogen-Powered Train Hits the Tracks In Germany (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 2

    Diesel trains are still quite common in Germany because many secondary lines aren't electrified due to either low usage or old tunnels with their ceilings too low for overhead lines to be installed.

    In a nutshell, asocial behavior is simply the avoidance of social interaction, antisocial behavior is actively harming other people.

    No, that's a totally false statement.

    Nope, it is a true statement. Antisocial behavior is just a fancy name for being an asshole.
    Introverts are, at worst, asocial, not antisocial.

  18. Re:Psychology on The New Yorker on Linus Torvalds (newyorker.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a schizoid personality disorder, so I have first hand knowledge about missing social cues and lacking empathy. Yet only selected few consider me an unpleasant person because actually being a dick requires active work and I seldom bother. Why do they?

  19. Re:Psychology on The New Yorker on Linus Torvalds (newyorker.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    I work with people who come off as jerks if you would meet them in passing, but I understand their mindset. They don't like talking to people. It's not that they hate you, they would rather not interact with you.

    That is not an excuse, to be honest. I mean, you don't like talking to other people yet most people would consider you to be a nice guy. Same here, generally speaking. There is no need to be a dick in order not to talk to other people.

  20. Re:EU needs to knock FB TFO on Facebook Could Face EU Sanctions If It Doesn't Change Its TOS (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    This is kind of a stupid argument. A government cannot be individualistic and neither can a company. Only a single person can be that.

    That actually looks pretty cool in a retrofuturistic 1980s cyberpunk kind of way.

  23. You might not want it, other people do.
    Some people don't even like Linux, imagine that.

  24. I think that you are actually the one who is a cunt and behave accordingly, the people around you reciprocate it and this is why you perceive everyone else this way.

    Stop being a cunt and you'll see other people in a different light.

  25. Schizoids are just as good at it and they aren't on the autistic spectrum.
