  1. Re:Banning children of uneducated parent from scho on Australia To Ban Unvaccinated Children From Preschool (newscientist.com) · · Score: 2

    I would prefer to ban uneducated parents, myself, but policing it would be a nightmare.

    Yair, 'bout that, h33t.. we've been havin' some trouble gettin' them arfids down the needle. We were gunna use a bigger needle but the kids sorta freaked, ya know? Don't blame 'em, meself. Any nong approaching me with a McDonalds-straw-sized needle is gunna get a boot to the balls.

  3. how is lab-grown meat more cancerous than something carved off a cow's ass?

    54, and i'd try it, particularly if it could be grown from some of my own cells. i'd like to see anyone of any religious bent (including vegans) try to make a case for autophagy being immoral.

  5. DISK SYSTEM? You kids are so privileged these days, it makes me livid. When I was a child we had to scour the streets for scrap paper to make punch cards which we'd punch with out own teeth before humbly submitting them to the local university to be run through their MONECS machine. AND they never showed us the output, so we had to listen at the window as the line printer clacked away and try to guess what it was doing.

    Disks! Pffft!

  6. Re:difficult to tell who is at fault from article on Work-Life Balance: Cryptographer Fired By BAE Systems For Taking Care of Dying Wife (bostonglobe.com) · · Score: 1, Troll

    I would say that the supervisor was probably 100% honest and totally ok with it. He then goes to HR and asks what kind of support they can give, and the HR troll hits the kill switch.

    Then they should have fired the supervisor.

  7. Re:The Discrimination is about wages, not age on Online Job Sites May Block Older Workers (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Age is a social construct.

    Really? How old are you, kid?

  8. Re:Do me a favour on Nick Denton Predicts 'The Good Internet' Will Rise Again (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Not sure what his context is, but social media (not just FaceBook) seems to embolden people to express some truly awful things.

    Wow, you should swing by 4chan some time. If the one-remove remoteness of being online gives people the idea they can be assholes, add anonymity to that and you get some truly dreadful opinions being expressed.

    Oddly enough, you also get some remarkable honesty because people aren't invested in puffing up their own egos so much.

  9. Repeat Story? on How The FBI Used Geek Squad To Increase Secret Public Surveillance (ocweekly.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Didn't this story run a few months ago? Has it happened again? Has anything changed, or is EditorDavid new?

  10. If they have a strain of yeast that does what they want, do they really want it to scramble and evolve into something that doesn't do what they want?

  11. This survey is a streaming pile.

    streaming, huh? that means if i try to take the survey, i'll be told "This content is not available in your region."

    i wonder if i can torrent it?

  12. I had subscribed to Netflix, then canceled my subscription because most stuff that I wanted to watch (e.g. my favorite movies) weren't available in my country.

    This, emphatically. I had it for three days, then canceled it when I realised how fragmented and... relentlessly Pink their selection was. The Subgenius needs SLACK, not ... digital MUSH.

    i could repeat this in a surly voice, over a drumbeat generated by Rebirth, and it would make pretty good rap.

    Where would Wikileaks be, without government secrets?

    Earth has a powerful magnetic field.

    for the moment.

  16. That's neat. Yay, Mars on NASA Proposes a Magnetic Shield To Protect Mars' Atmosphere (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    Screw Mars, maybe we should be thinking about putting one at EARTH's L1 point.

  17. Maybe the customers are looking at it wrong. Try squinting a little. Yeah.. more.. squint a little more.. just a little more.. okay, close your eyes completely.

    Perfect.

  18. Re:what happens? free food on What Happens When Robots Can Deliver Your Groceries? (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    .. if your plan for taking control involves using your evil robot minions to deliver groceries to people, sure, that'd work.

  19. Monkey see, monkey do on Strange New Social Media Trend: Licking Nintendo Switch Cartridges (macon.com) · · Score: 1
    "Oh, you're a real comedian, Dave," Goldberg said, stubbing out his roach and jamming a cork into the glass vial which he had been filling from the petcock at the end of the apparatus' run. "Any day now I expect you to start slipping strychnine into the goods. That'd be pretty good for a yock, too."

    "You know, I never thought of that before. Maybe you got something there. Let a few people go out with a smile, satisfaction guaranteed. Christ, Will, we could tell them exactly what it was and still sell some of the stuff."

    "That's not funny, man," Goldberg said, handing the vial to Richardson, who carefully snugged it away with the others in the excelsior-packed box. "It's not funny because it's true."

  21. Re:This again?? on California Government On the Dangers of Cellphones (cbslocal.com) · · Score: 1

    We are going to keep going through it for as long as there are so-called "news" organs that need attention. I'm not even sure that the Singularity will rid us of this.

    "Ah, it's such a pain.. the bodycams turn on when we deploy a pistol or a gun, so we have to kick them to death now."

  24. pretty sure it's "moronidity".

  25. Perhaps I should be using a different font - I keep thinking they're talking about Al Bundy.

    An artificial intelligence based on him would be cruel. "Why? Why was I programmed to feel pain?"
