  1. Re:Great Idea! on White House Wants Ideas For "Bootstrapping a Solar System Civilization" · · Score: 1

    I am offended by your use of "no man". You should say "no one" like Picard, or risk losing the entire female demographic.

  2. Re:Git is an example of Linus Torvalds at his wors on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 1

    Torvalds created git to get out from under the proprietart BitKeeper, and he created Linux to get out from under Tanenbaum's Minix, same story.

  3. Re:Has it been working so far? on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 1

    The man can code. Folks used his task swapper, they use his kernel, they use his version manager, so what if he's abrasive, when the rubber meets the road he's got it.

  4. Re: samzenpus and electronic_convict two fuckwits on Torvalds: I Made Community-Building Mistakes With Linux · · Score: 4, Funny

    How could Poettering be "calling out" Torvalds when systemd is a user land init process?

  5. Re:Begin planning use of Lockheed's fusion power on White House Wants Ideas For "Bootstrapping a Solar System Civilization" · · Score: 1

    I know Mr. Fusion is in all the news lately, Lockheed-Martin skunkworks, etc, but then again, every now and then some Tesla nut says he can plug appliances directly into the ground. How about we get a working prototype before we start selling timeshares on Titan.

  6. Re:You want an idea? How about we fund NASA? on White House Wants Ideas For "Bootstrapping a Solar System Civilization" · · Score: 1

    When budgets grow at NASA or any other bureaucracy, the admin overhead bloats faster than a new iteration of Windows. It's when budgets decline that folks get creative and make spectacular new ways to soft-land something on Mars, for example. So just vote no for socialized space boondoggles.

  7. Re:Few Complaints on Data From Windows 10 Feedback Tool Exposes Problem Areas · · Score: 1

    That's the biggest complaint right now, you can't unpin search and tasks. I suppose MS wants you to use Bing come hell or high water. And you just know they won't fix it.

  8. Re:Chrome Dumbed Down on Google Finds Vulnerability In SSL 3.0 Web Encryption · · Score: 1

    What drives me nuts is the low contrast in the scrollbar, I can barely see where the "elevator" is so I can grab it. Damn kids these days...

  9. Re:Umm on How Women Became Gamers Through D&D · · Score: 2

    My guess is that women were willing to take up D&D because it was about creating stories and using the imagination, not unlike the written fiction we prefer to cartoon donkey kongs and little falling blocks that boys seem to like.

  10. Re:People have opinions they can't back up on Independent Researchers Test Rossi's Alleged Cold Fusion Device For 32 Days · · Score: 1

    Transmutation is standard, but it's always endothermic.

  11. Re:This is why I only fuck other men. on Oxytocin Regulates Sociosexual Behavior In Female Mice · · Score: 0

    She who has the pussy makes the rules.

  12. Re:Not so much, maybe. on Independent Researchers Test Rossi's Alleged Cold Fusion Device For 32 Days · · Score: 1

    Particularly because the Fed withdrew $1000 notes a long time ago. That's why Benjamins are the international currency of bad shit, as Bill Gibson once wrote.

  13. Re:Hoax on Independent Researchers Test Rossi's Alleged Cold Fusion Device For 32 Days · · Score: 3, Insightful

    That's the difference between an inventor and a scientist, between an Edison and a Maxwell. Somehow Einstein didn't end up in a gutter even after someone else made the first commercial reactor.

  14. Re:Blame Google! on ChromeOS Will No Longer Support Ext2/3/4 On External Drives/SD Cards · · Score: 1

    Everything's a file in Unix, right? How about issuing the old ln -s /media/teresita/CHEAPASS_LEXAR_STICK nicename

  15. Re:Hoax on Independent Researchers Test Rossi's Alleged Cold Fusion Device For 32 Days · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Everyone that says they have a box that makes energy from nothing, I say, phase match your box to the line current from the local utility, roll your meter backwards, and cash the ensuing checks. Then talk to me.

  16. Re:its all about cracking AES on Microsoft's Quantum Mechanics · · Score: 4, Funny

    It's all about closing the analog hole in DRM. Music will be delivered by a smooth Shroedinger wave evolution unless you record it to a cassette tape (analog) or Audacity (digital), which will collapse the wavefunction and kill the music. RIAA is pitching in to aid the research.

  17. Re:Is there no commandline? on ChromeOS Will No Longer Support Ext2/3/4 On External Drives/SD Cards · · Score: 1

    Sure, just install my own operating system on it. Teresita OS.

  18. Re:I'm worried on Z Machine Makes Progress Toward Nuclear Fusion · · Score: 1

    They're doing it wrong, all they need is a mini black hole. Two protons fall together toward the central point, tides overcome the electrostatic repulsion....PROFIT!

  19. Re:Windows Users, Get Ready For a Bigger-Than-Usua on Windows Users, Get Ready For a Bigger-Than-Usual Patch Tuesday · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The only time I use IE is just after a clean install, to download Chrome or the Fox, because I don't have the ftp command to do it from a console memorized. And never get your patches on Patch Tuesday. Go get 'em on Thursday after they fix 'em.

  20. Re:There is always a top 100 on Only 100 Cybercrime Brains Worldwide, Says Europol Boss · · Score: 2

    I don't know. For some reason I've never felt a compulsion to click on an penis enlarger email attachment or used Firefox on Lubuntu to follow a link to "See Asian Sluts Get What They Deserve!" so to me these Russian malware creators are about as scary as ISIS threatening to chop off the head of Rosie O'Donnell.

  21. Re:Europe/antiperspirants on Antiperspirants Could Contribute to Particulate Pollution · · Score: 1

    If they ever figure out how to turn cellulite into energy it'll be awesome because America is the Saudi Arabia of cellulite.

  22. Re:Propaganda on NSA To Scientists: We Won't Tell You What We've Told You; That's Classified · · Score: 4, Insightful

    And this is Obama's NSA, not even Bush's. Go figure.

  23. Re:Downloading free music on FBI Says It Will Hire No One Who Lies About Illegal Downloading · · Score: 1

    It's illegal to upload music to USENET, but it sure as hell isn't illegal to download it from there.

  24. Re:Should retailers store credit card details? on Kmart Says Its Payment System Was Hacked · · Score: 2

    In other news, people who actually have credit cards go to K-Mart...

  25. Re:FPUs are **inherently** approximations on Where Intel Processors Fail At Math (Again) · · Score: 1

    So use hardware floating point operations when it doesn't matter, like for games. But if you're going to calculate the trajectory of a mission to Pluto or something, bring the math out into your software, take the time, do it right.
