  1. Re:can they repair their state first? on California Becomes 18th State To Consider Right To Repair Legislation (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Have you ever actually been to WV or are you just regurgitating internet talking points?

    I've been there! What do I win?

    I hope that someday I can retire there. It's a breathtakingly beautiful place.

    If you think a strip mine is beautiful. I hope you don't mind bottled water, unless you like coal sludge, of course. It's so beautiful there that everyone has to crush up and shoot Oxycontin to get through the day.

    Low taxes and a healthy FU to the gov't works best.

    I'd tell you to enjoy Kentucky, but I see that they just outlawed child brides. More big government overreach, amirite? Maybe Alabama will be more to your liking.

    "How do you like my new invisible TV? All of the shows on it say what a fantastic job I'm doing."

    "It's tremendous, Mr President. Really spectacular. Now, can we get back to the national security briefing?"

    If I had $20k to burn on a TV, I'd buy a used one on Craigslist for $500 and take a trip around the world.

    If I had $150k to burn on a TV, I'd buy one of these invisible TVs and use the rest to pay hush money to a porn star for keeping photos of my little dick off of the internet.

    Oculus Rift Headsets Are Offline Following a Software Error

    This, except now imagine that it's your self-driving, no steering wheel car. Will the manufacturer give you a note telling your boss that you couldn't make it to work because of a buggy software update?

    I'm still getting security updates on my iPhone 4

    The fact that you can only use it when it's connected to a power outlet does limit its functionality somewhat, though.

  7. Fabulous on The Future of 'Fab Lab' Fabrication (wired.com) · · Score: 0

    Here in my sleepy little California town, there is a maker space with a full-blown "fab lab". Just the other day, I was talking to a guy who has developed high-precision harmonica combs using some of these tools. He says they're some of the most air-tight ever made and he has a patent. Oh yeah, and they're made of hemp. I love California.

    Naw, brother. Don't get the wrong idea. I'm find President Chaos just as abhorrent as you and most of America and the world do. I'm just joking to throw the trolls off the scent.

    Every time I think I've clicked a story that no terminal TDS-sufferer could possibly twist into a Trump rant, I'm proven wrong.

    What the hell are you talking about? You're the one who brought Trump into this discussion. Why does everything have to be about Trump with you libs? We won, you lost. Get over it.

    What kind of wings? Regular wings, or buffalo wings?

    Does this mean there is no such thing as "geek squad - client privilege"? I'm pretty sure you can expect to see me drunk on CNN tomorrow, talking about how I'm not going to comply with a grand jury subpoena in this witch hunt. In fact, I'm going to start drinking now so I'm ready. What kind of liquor goes best with antidepressants and chicken wings?

  14. And if you work 75% of the day, you can expect to be paid for the whole day.

    I like the way you figure.

  15. By booking more than half, they effectively also booked half.

    So, if your boss tells you to come in for half a day on Saturday, and then insists you work until 5pm, he can pay you for a half a day because effectively, you worked half a day?

  16. When I learned these skills "half" in anywhere but a mathematics class room is an approximate concept, not an exact one.

    That's kind of half-assed.

  17. Uber Booked Half the Theater

    also...

    The company purchased 50 of 90 available seats

    Do they not teach math in schools any more? I mean, for chrissake.

  18. Expect to get spam and junk mail selling you diapers, zinc supplements, and herbs for your prostate and assorted incontinence products.

    I hope they have coupons.

  19. Your age seems to be affecting your memory as well, since you posted that comment twice in 1 minute.

    That fucking guy keeps copying me. Say, have you seen my glasses?

  20. At my age, my location before and after a movie is the urinal in the men's room. No tracking needed. Those extra large Dr Peppers go right through you.

  22. what if the company makes a real loss and can't pay the tax?

    If one of those four companies makes a "real loss" and can't pay the tax, then there's either 1) a bigger problem than the tax, or 2) the company is lying about how much they're making.

    EU has the right idea. Tax these multinationals until they learn to behave. Then tax them some more so they don't even think about fucking around again. After that, keep them on a real short leash.

    Now if only we could get governments to do the same thing with billionaires. It would save a lot of bloodshed later.

  23. That will be nice. I know I will be getting one! Hopefully they will be white.

    We're talking about headphones here, not your selections on match.com.

  24. It's kind of funny watching this vast social media platform, which has grown up without any moral guidance whatsoever, stumble all over itself trying to find some sort of social conscience at this late stage.

    It's like one of those feral kids who grows up locked in their parents' basement and then is released at age 23, a 200 lb baby who has never played with other children. I imagine Facebook will eventually figure this stuff out, but only if they can be motivated out of fear for its existence. I don't think we're there yet.

  25. Six hundred? on Thieves Steal 600 Powerful Bitcoin-Mining Computers In Iceland (apnews.com) · · Score: 0

    Who knew there were 600 computers in Iceland?

    The powerful computers, which have not yet been found, are worth almost $2 million.

    I have a feeling there is some "DEA accounting" going on here. You know the kind: "A pound of marijuana with a street value of over $5 billion dollars was seized today...".

    It's probably more like 30 computers, worth $90,000, and they're probably just stripping out the video cards to sell to gamers on Ebay.
