  1. Re: the real problem on Listen To a Microsoft Support Scam As It Happened · · Score: 1

    It is fraud. It is the very definition of fraud. Are you trying to say that fraud stops being fraud when it is convincing to the victim? Do you even know what fraud is?

  2. Re:Climate? on California's Hot, Dry Winters Tied To Climate Change · · Score: 1

    Show where this is the case. Anywhere- where a climate scientist referred to a local cold snap as proof of climate change.

    You can't. The *BOOM* only happened in the vacuum between your ears.

    CA gets a ton of their water from Colorado mountain snowpack via a pipeline. They also get a ton of their river via the Colorado River which is fed by NM, Co, UT, and Wy snowpack. That is the snowpack referred to.

    What? The water in the Grand Canyon went on with the river that carved it- the river that is TILL THERE and still running today.
      Or are you so uneducated that you think the Grand Canyon was a giant lake instead of carved over millions of years by a river?

    Why is everyone avoiding actual models from actual research? googleusercontent is also not a recognized climate expert.

    Wordpress is not a recognized water table expert. A random chart from a random anonymous source is not a valid argument.

    I love people like this. Low information and proud of their ignorance- yet the hardships they encounter are always someone else's problem.

    Grow up, smarten up, and learn to live like an intelligent human being intead of some ignorant ass racist. Life is a lot better when yoiu aren't putting obstacles in your own way.

  11. Re:Apple pay at Coke machines and apps for diabete on Apple's "Spring Forward" Event Debuts Apple Watch and More · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Apple is not a Rolex or Tag Heuer. Get that retarded concept right out of your head. Not anywhere near the same class of product.
    If you want to equate it to a watch, think Timex.

    Nope. Energy to matter conversion. With the warp core they have more energy than they can ever need on tap, so the energy cost is irrelevant.

    Likewise, waste is converted to energy. A bit of a loss, but overall a decent energy recovery.

  13. It makes sense, from the POV of the Marshalls on US Marshals Service Refuses To Release Already-Published Stingray Info · · Score: 2

    I have worked with classified documents for decades. If something is classified, you cannot release it until it is declassified.
    Even if it was already leaked, and the person asking for the information is waving a copy of it in your face. If you do, you lose your job in the least, and serve some time in prison at the worst.

    Works the other way around. Several newspapers are blocked in government systems because if an unclassified machine (any with internet access will be unclassified) browses one of the news articles that contained a leaked document that machine is now contaminated with a classified document and has to be wiped. Because that machine is not cleared to hold that document- no matter where it came in to the machine from.

    I would love to see "Friday" or "Job: A Comedy of Justice" made in to movies.

  15. Re:There might be hope for a decent adaptation on 'The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress' Coming To the Big Screen · · Score: 2

    I never got that impression. The moon was a self sustaining colony that trades with Earth. I don't recall any notion that the Earth was dependant on them for food.

    but it has also been a good 25 or 30 years since I read it, so there is that.

    Heinlein also used the basic income model in many of his stories. Its not all libertarian, its a balance between a social safety net and libertarian capitalism.

  20. Re:Easy of porting over is the key on The State of Linux Gaming In the SteamOS Era · · Score: 1

    you should go check out Steam for Linux. Its the same games you get on Steam for windows.
    Unless you are saying all the games on Steam are shit, in which case that just, like, your opinion man.

  21. I prefer Rocksmith on Can the Guitar Games Market Be Resurrected? · · Score: 5, Informative

    Same game, but plugs in to your electric guitar and teaches you to play while you play.

  22. Truck drivers live on a constant shifting clock on Adjusting To a Martian Day More Difficult Than Expected · · Score: 1

    And it does not hurt them (us, I did it for a few years myself) at all. By current law you can only operate for 14 hours a day, then take 10 hours off. This means your day is constantly shifting about an hour longer every day. 14 hours working and driving, then an hour or two working on paperwork and inspecting your truck. Then the mandatory 10 hours rest. A 25 or 26 hour day cycle is perfectly normal and you adjust easily.

    That 1950 "adjusted" rate is off by about $4k andthe year is a cherry picked point. 1950-55 was a time of HUGE minimum wage reform, much like now.

    You have been lied to. That is EXACTLY what the minimum wage is supposed to do. It is in the charter creating the minimum wage. Maybe if you would take a little time to educate yourself you would not have to hide your shame behind anonymous posts.
