  1. Re:its bullshit on Hard Drive Prices Slide As Thai Flood Aftermath Subsides · · Score: 1

    Because it was cheap. I'm sure the people who saved the money by placing their plants there got nice bonuses too.

  2. Re:Why are you surprised? on Rare Earth Magnets Pose Threat To Children · · Score: 1

    Actually, with modern flat screen TV's, there is a real threat of the kids knocking the TV over and onto themselves. Never happened with the old console sets from when I was a kid.

  3. One can only hope on Rare Earth Magnets Pose Threat To Children · · Score: 1, Insightful

    That you never breed and therefore prevent your faulty genes from contaminating the gene pool. What other excuse would there be for a loser to try to blame the parents for the actions of infants in a sorry attempt at justifying their own deluded sense of adequacy.

  4. Re:multitasking on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    I'm afraid the plural of anecdote is not data.

  5. Re:The truth slowly comes out on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 1

    Sodo you actually think that they likes having their elected leaders thrown out by us and the Shaw put in? I really doubt it.

  6. Re:First, please ban: on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    Fro the rest of us to pay for, unfortunately.

  7. So basically on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    You don't feel like paying to keep the roads in good shape and therefore believe that that entitles you to put everyone else at risk so you can drive unsafely. How about you try to get the roads fixed, pay for the repairs needed and get off your over inflated sense of adequacy. Not everyone is willing to have themselves put at risk just for your convenience.

  8. Re:Adam was quoted as on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 1

    While they mentioned it on one of the best of shows, I do not remember them mentioning this during the actual episode.

  9. Now did you imaging him on MythBusters Bust House · · Score: 1

    saying it in his one "bad" raspy pirate voice?

  10. Re:Should X be mandatory? on Should Composting Be Mandatory In US Cities? · · Score: 1

    Correction. Libertarians are not against rules that help them. Any rules that prevent them from helping themselves at the detriment of others are bad, however. Think spoiled four year old.

  11. Or on Should Composting Be Mandatory In US Cities? · · Score: 1

    you could grow up and stop expecting everyone else to do all of your work for you at their expense.

  12. Re:Just a matter of time... on MIT Algorithm Predicts Red Light Runners · · Score: 0

    Somehow I think that you like delayed greens because you think it allows you to break the law by running red lights even longer. How about you just pretend to be an adult and follow the laws for once?

  13. No on 'Alternative Medicine' Clinic Attempts To Silence Critics · · Score: 1

    It would be a made up fantasy character. Just because you are so unskilled that you have to whore yourself out to whatever morally bankrupt will have you, doesn't meant that skilled people are so handicapped. There is a lot of real science out there to work with, just becuase you can't line your own personal pockets with it does not make it any less real.

  14. You mean on 'Alternative Medicine' Clinic Attempts To Silence Critics · · Score: 2

    I would hardly call the corporate whoring denalists, scientists.

  15. Well on 'Alternative Medicine' Clinic Attempts To Silence Critics · · Score: 1

    I guess the ignorance is bliss excuse also explains your Ron Paul blather.

  16. What flavor of agile on More On Why It Stinks To Work At Zynga · · Score: 2

    has an daily requirement of work? Every SCRUM I've worked with only cares that you finish your tasks at the end of the scrum. the number of hours you need to work to get there are not really anyone elses concern.

  17. and I suspect... on More On Why It Stinks To Work At Zynga · · Score: 5, Insightful

    that you are a pointy-haired who feels that blaming your workers for your inability to properly budget time and expenses is a viable business strategy.

  18. It was lotus notes. on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 2

    Everyone wanted that abomination gone. When I left they were on year three of their two year plan to excise that demon from their company.

  19. Re:More likely on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 1

    No, it was the IT department. They were used to developers doing only web and database development, and didn't want to bother with creating a new configuration. They had no problems at all with overbuying other hardware, so the few extra dollars on the leases wouldn't have mattered.

  20. Not really on China To Cancel College Majors That Don't Pay · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Since most of those baggers are retired. and then they are clueless enough to whine about entitlements.

  21. That depends on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 2

    on the email client in question. We've had a user with Outlook so messed up that wiping the computer was the best option. We probably could have figures out the cause, but would you rather wait a week for us to get that done, or an hour to restore an image?

  22. More likely on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 4, Insightful

    cases like when the IT department decided to ship all engineers with a standard system that does not include a DVD reader. The fact that our software shipped on DVDs at the time apparently didn't matter to them. then there was the time when IT decided that we needed to have IT perform all software installs on our systems. I was in charge of creating install packages for six different product lines at the time. IT only relented when I scheduled five solid days of their time to simply press the buttons on my regression test systems.

  23. Actually on Dell's Misleading Graphics Card Buying Advice · · Score: 1

    It's much more reasonable to assume that the parent poster is right. Although the "drive and ambition" bullshit is the usual spiel used to try to blame everyone else for the greed and avarice of these people, so I'm not surprised you fell for it.

  24. Re:Renewable or infinite? on The Myth of Renewable Energy · · Score: 2

    Well since they are normally charged at the lower level, why would you charge it more. Assuming you aren't just trying to skew the test results for some reason.

  25. Why buy them up. on DARPA Requests Replacement To Antibiotics · · Score: 1

    It's a lot more profitable to simply force them to pay you money on some bogus patents.
