  1. New feed creates 40% increase in growth rate... on CSIRO Scientists' Aquaculture Holy Grail: Fish-Free Prawn Food · · Score: 2

    ...and are healthier and more robust"

    These Shrimps ain't shrimps anymore, I guess. With a 40% increased growth rate we should feed that stuff to Yankees sluggers.

    These statistics sound like those cattle and poultry farmers achieve from hormone injections. If these shrimp suddenly become lobsters maybe the cholesterol will be a little too high as well.

    It seems to me that "healthier" is a marketing term, not a scientific matter of fact.

    They are not unlike Emos.

    If you go through life looking/acting like a refugee from a Dr.Seuss book you should expect to be mocked.

    People who fuck through holes (in costumes, bathroom walls or bed sheets) deserve to be laughed and pointed at.

  5. Re: Its easy, take your pick on SF Evictions Surging From Crackdown On Airbnb Rentals · · Score: 2

    The choice is yours the future is clear - you can chose good or chose to burn to death. Chose to win or lose and die. Its real freedom and a real choice. Its a true hypothetical vision or real hallucination of San Francisco and the Universe, pick one:

    A) Over paid, under worked, black, real market bureaucrats who live large and plump when you cook 'em

    B) Well-paid, Geeky, blooming better bus and uber car riding historians who never get in the way unless you're a legit taxi

    C) Zero paid, hopeless, smelly, street people who contribute vomit and graffiti for a fair city life.

    Not so fast ! Its a trick question ! Geek humanity won't possibly survive AynRandtopia if it can't get laid !

    They should know - their "stinkin' badges" are fake.

  15. Dog and Pony Hypocrites on Congressmen Say Clapper Lied To Congress, Ask Obama To Remove Him · · Score: 1

    Since when did anyone in congress get elected by telling the truth? Clapper is the same as the congress: people in power who never tell the truth. We can't handle the truth has always justified secrecy, and they have a lot of secrets. Americans prefer a highly skilled liar to represent the interests of corporations. Corporate espionage exposes the true conspiracy of governmental snooping and the corporations are pushing back. But this has little to do with lying to the American people - that's routine.

    ......If something goes wrong the private corporation is a lot more likely to suffer consequences than the government. The local and international regulations put on corporations for source tracking and handling are quite stringent.

    ....I feel much better now. Government has been totally effective at assuring that corporations suffer consequences. Especially these days, since they pay to elect all of the lawmakers who deny culpability, bail them out, and then are retained as their consultants. America has nothing to worry about. Democracy works just the way we like it.

  19. Its hard to know who the criminals are these days on Hackers Steal Law Enforcement Documents From Microsoft · · Score: 1

    Setting aside the fact we won't get all of the facts, on a philosophical level I am beginning to lose a sense of victim, perpetrator, violation, motive, and crime. Frankly, I consider all players in this type of racquet and collective finger pointing and ass coverage to be a a twisted fetich for scumbags, liars, and thieves. The "legitimate" model for how these entities earn their keep and their general lack of commitment or accountability for anything else that results is typical human nature. Corporations may not be people, but they sure behave like impetuous, self centered flakes. Sort of like government and congress, for that matter. Welcome to the human race, I guess. Pity that biological evolution takes soooo long.

    When one's business practices consist of poor user experience, poor customer support, and poor product delivery one's business deserves to die. This isn't a result of a shit market, it's the result of shit products.

    Amen.

    Especially when, they devote all of their talent and technology to enslaving the product and the customer.

    We are confined to rigid asinine monitization or usage schemes, proprietary incompatibilities, non portability, drm, and data mining.
