  1. Re:Badge of Honour on US Keeps China, Puts Canada on IP Priority Watch List (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    China is one of the leading investors in Hollywood films. It's why garbage like The Transformers movies keep getting made.

  2. Yeah well I walked 500 miles, and then 500 miles more!

  3. Or radicals of every stripe use states rights when it suits their interests (marijuana, segregation). Some actually believe in the ideal. Hell I'd rather the country just dissolve into smaller nations. Better for the people, better for the planet.

  4. Re:fuck tipping on New York Plans To Force Uber To Add Tipping Option (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If this were Reddit, you'd be gilded. No one who has replied to you has caught the reference it seems.

  5. He also wants to pull out of free trade deals, so tariffs could have a huge impact too.

  6. There's plenty of cruelty and misery in our video games. I feel like if this is the matrix they could have picked a better time era to set it in.

  7. Who still pirates music? I haven't downloaded an mp3 in probably 7 years. TV and movies sure, but every song is on youtube and I have youtube red. So why bother?

  8. Re:You are missing the point on Will Internet Voting Endanger The Secret Ballot? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How about instead we just have voting booth machines available at every Town Hall/Police Station, go in, put in your information (or scan your driver's license for it to be quicker) it uses facial recognition like the new automated passport machines, and leave it open for an entire month. So anyone can go vote the 30 days up to the election and the results are tallied that night.

    For those who think the "voter ID" requirements are prejudiced against poor people, just make state non-driving license IDs free. Problem solved.

  9. Re: The basest, vilest on Trump Calls For Russia To Cyber-Invade the United States To Find Clinton's 'Missing' Emails (gawker.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    How is this working with? It's challenging them. The fact that those e-mails even exist should be the bigger story.

  10. Re:Reaching the limits of the unlimited on Verizon To Disconnect Unlimited Data Customers Who Use Over 100GB/Month · · Score: 1

    They used to claim unlimited didn't mean the amount of data, but instead the length of time you could remain connected whenever someone complained about throttling.

  11. Re: The price hike is minimal... on Netflix Stock Price Tanks As Customers Quit Over Higher Prices (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    Movie industry needs to be a bit more like radio, where stations can play any song and pay a predetermined royalty fee.

  12. Re: Good solution on Using a Bomb Robot to Kill a Suspect Is an Unprecedented Shift in Policing (vice.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Surprised they didn't try gas first

  13. Honestly I'll be voting for Trump just in the hope that in 2020 the Democrats will put up a real progressive and not warhawk who has more in common with George W Bush than with FDR.

  14. Re: Easily destroyed or disabled on Uber Hires a Robot To Patrol Its Parking Lot and It's Way Cheaper Than a Security Guard (fusion.net) · · Score: 1

    Yup, cuz these companies wouldn't be doing the same damn thing if the wage was only $8/hr

  15. Next Gen and Voyager also shared variance in living situations (some crewmen had roommates, even though they were short on crew in Voyager)

  16. Re: IT took me years to learn on Why Did The Stars Wars and Star Trek Worlds Turn Out So Differently? (marginalrevolution.com) · · Score: 1

    Every now and then something happens to warp drive and they continue on impulse, which is honestly moot. They may as well just stop until they fix it.

  17. The best way to describe the Star Trek world is that everyone is retired at age 18. After that the jobs they do are more like hobbies that interest them. There's no money to work for, but prestige is still a limited commodity, and the Captain has nicer quarters than the yeoman.

  18. The summary might actually be longer than this "article". Next we'll be seeing summaries of a single tweet.

  19. So what does it do then? on DVD Player Found In Tesla Autopilot Crash, Says Florida Officials (reuters.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What exactly is the point of it? To lull you into a false sense of comfort and security? I look forward to autonomous vehicles, but if it still requires me to keep my attention on the road and ready to respond, I'd rather just be in control of the vehicle to begin with.

  20. Re: You made it, Syrians! on BBC: UK Votes To Leave The European Union (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Texas could do fine with a military the size of Canada's

  21. Yes, I particularly enjoy all the Canadian towns "welcoming people escaping Trump". So long as you have a 4 year degree, a job offer and six figures of assets. Requirements to emigrate to Canada without marriage being a factor.

  22. Re:Life of grandchildren on Pirate Bay Co-Founder Must Pay Record Labels $395,000 (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2

    The grandchildren can just market it as "The way our grandfather intended it to be!" They don't need exclusivity. Or how about this, make a standard open license for works between 20 years old and life of author +75 years where x% of the gross goes to the original author or their estate?

  23. Re: Guns on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They hardly make up any kind of statistically significant percentage

  24. Re: Guns on World Reacts To The Worst Mass Shooting In U.S. History (cnn.com) · · Score: 2

    Additionally, the LGBT community is not known for their tendency to carry a pistol.

  25. Re:Pointless and Useless Speculation on Researchers Say The Aliens Are Silent Because They Are Extinct (theconversation.com) · · Score: 1

    Yet Dinosaurs roamed for 66 million years and there's no signs any of them ever developed tool usage.
