  1. Re:Scarier still.... on Scanning Embryos For Super-Intelligent Kids Is On the Horizon · · Score: 1

    If the Mother and Father's DNA is pretty much identical..you might be a republican. If you have an extra Chromosome you're probably libertarian. Zygotes are never democrats until they're sure they've dodged the coat hanger.

  2. Re:So, it has come to this. on Complain About Comcast, Get Fired From Your Job · · Score: 1

    It depends how fascist a state you work in. In some states they can fire you without reason making your freedom of expression guaranteed in the constitution completely moot. This is called At Will employment, it's sick and disgusting. It means that if you get fired for being gay you have to prove that it was because you are gay and not just because they felt like it.

  5. Re:Libertarian nirvana on Massachusetts SWAT Teams Claim They're Private Corporations, Immune To Oversight · · Score: 1

    Because corporations bidding over who gets to kick in my door and beat my ass is just what `murica needs.

  6. Re:Godsend on Century-Old Drug Reverses Signs of Autism In Mice · · Score: 2

    I don't know if I'd take this drug. I'm over 40 and have learned to manage the downsides. I've also learned to use the super powers associated with mild cases of ASD.
    I've had to learn to override the adrenal response which gives me the ability to act when most people just freeze up(e.g. artillery strike). I'm always having a stress reaction when I'm outside my own head so a little more doesn't really matter that much. I doubt it would fix my voice modulation (flat affect)and other mannerisms that have been ingrained. I wish you could try it before making it permanent.

  7. To prevent fire, burn everything ahead of time on Study: Stop Being So Cynical, You Could Give Yourself Dementia · · Score: 4, Funny

    If you're optimistic in this world you are already delusional so how would they tell if you're suffering from dementia?

  10. Re:Number includes marketing budget on Game Industry Fights Rising Development Costs · · Score: 1

    Well at least the coders and artists are still working for table scraps.

  11. Uhm keep your book on $200 For a Bound Textbook That You Can't Keep? · · Score: 1

    Why would I want a monstrous book of case law to lug around? There's an old quote "You can't grep dead trees"
    I'd much rather have a searchable e-book.

    I mean it's still an asshat move but there's a reason there aren't anymore telephone books.

  12. My heart bleeds for them on In the US, Rich Now Work Longer Hours Than the Poor · · Score: 1

    The poor are under/unemployed and the rich are trying harder and harder to make more of them under/unemployed.

  13. Re:It would be inequal to provide equal rewards on Google: Teach Girls Coding, Get $2,500; Teach Boys, Get $0 · · Score: 1

    Equal opportunity does not mean equal outcome. Equal outcome quashes excellence as much as inequality of opportunity.

  14. I guess when they said that they would tell the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth they committed perjury since they intended to not disclose to the court.

  15. Misread that on Female Software Engineers May Be Even Scarcer Than We Thought · · Score: 3, Funny

    I thought it said Female Software Engineers May Be Even Scarier Than We Thought.

  16. You're still fighting over the same money on Microsoft Kills Stack Ranking · · Score: 3, Insightful

    While they don't have to be ranked so strictly you're still fighting over table scraps against your own team.
    If everyone surpasses expectations and achieves a good result then everyone deserves to be compensated fairly.

  17. Get the military out of the schools on Competition Tests Student-Built Aerial Espionage Robots · · Score: 0

    Military money needs to be removed from education. Higher education shouldn't be a competition on how fast you can sell out the planet to fascist forces.
    Just cut enough out of their budgets that they can't afford to murder goat herders for profit and plow it into real education.
    Geeks need to stop giving away their power and take charge and authority over our own contribution or it will always be used against us.
    I'm saying this as a former soldier.

  18. Re:Sweden is not, in fact, the US. on One Year Since Assange Took Refuge in Ecuadorian Embassy · · Score: 2

    Except if you have your head out of your ass in any way, shape or form.

    There are no "rape" charges. They did reopen a previously closed case where he was accused of sexual impropriety involving the use of a condom.

  20. Re:This thought crosses my mind a lot. on Rice Professor Predicts Humans Out of Work In 30 Years · · Score: 1

    This is why socialism in some form is necessary. If corporations are allowed to own these automated systems (the means of production) then corporations will be free to toss you and everyone you love in the garbage because they don't need you anymore. Why should they let you eat when it's just cutting into their profits unless they are forced to? It's either we share the wealth the workers earned or the rich getting richer and the poor get poorer will reach its obvious conclusion.

    Before anyone says it, none of this has anything to do with a Soviet/Chinese style fascist state.That's just what Americans have been fooled into thinking socialism is.

    These guys should have nothing to say about it. It should be the person who finds it gets naming rights, they earned it. If they want to sell their rights that should be their option too.

    Corporate press has an obligation to corporate profit not public service.

    This is why it's useless as a fourth branch of government.
