  1. Re:Unfortunate timing on 'Cards Against Humanity' Gives Out $1000 Checks (nbcchicago.com) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    In a "he said, she said" situation, how come "I feel like I was assaulted" is more valid than "I feel like I didn't assault you"?

  2. Re:Convenience and Brand Allegiance on Ask Slashdot: Why Would Anyone Want To Spend $1,000 on a Smartphone? · · Score: 2

    $5-$10 per day for coffee

    You.... spend this much per day on coffee?

  3. Re:"I don't mean that in a bad way" on PewDiePie Is Inexcusable But DMCA Takedowns Are Not the Way To Fight Him (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    It's like how when you're at work you don't call your black boss a fat nig*er but if you were playing him online you would definitely call him a fat nig*er.

  4. Re:The Down Side on Netflix Shows Are All Worldwide Hits -- Until They're Not (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    As opposed to working the same good paying, steady job for 40 years?

  5. Free healthcare on Google Slapped With $2.7 Billion By EU For Skewing Searches (bloomberg.com) · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Somebody has to pay for that free college and free abortion pills. Google should just pay. And then in the future after paying all its taxes, just cut an additional check for a certain percentage of its profits to the government.

  6. Which video rental stores didn't rely on video rentals as their main source of income?

  7. So you bought a $1300 HP notebook and it broke after 4 months? That is unfortunate.

  8. You'd have to be a 100% self sufficient, off-the-grid individual born immaculately on land never touched by man to claim that tax-funded roads haven't benefitted you, the non taxpayer.

  9. Re:Parliament should approve on UK's Brexit Cannot Pass Without Parliament Approval (aljazeera.com) · · Score: 1

    We already and currently have sovereignty. If we dodn't, then we could never have opted to leave.

    But you aren't leaving. So even though the people democratically voted leave, you're not. How exactly are the majority of your country's citizen supposed to exercise their sovereignty? That seemingly doesn't exist.

  10. Re:They really should approve though on UK's Brexit Cannot Pass Without Parliament Approval (aljazeera.com) · · Score: 1

    And, if after two months the opinion has not changed to one you want, wait another two months and check in again. Repeat until public opinion finally aligns with your own.

  11. Re:Huh who knew? on UK's Brexit Cannot Pass Without Parliament Approval (aljazeera.com) · · Score: 1

    So why have the vote? Would you feel the same had the referendum voted to stay but parliament vote to Brexit anyway, ignoring the people's vote?

  12. Re:POWAR TO THE PEOPLE! on UK's Brexit Cannot Pass Without Parliament Approval (aljazeera.com) · · Score: 1

    Unless you approve of the outcome of course.

  13. Until one of those odd hiccups in life pops up and you need to lean on your parents. Whoops, burnt that bridge.

  14. Are you implying that only Republicans are dishonest? You obviously haven't spent much time with the poor scumbags that vote democrat (the ones that aren't felons, that is) and are some of the most dishonest people in existence. I challenge you go spend a couple years with the (really) poor people and see what goes on.

    And since when is "the app told me to do it" a valid defense? I guess if my GPS told me to drive my car through my neighbor's house, I should just do it and then sue the manufacturer.

  16. Re:Progressives don;t like to pay fair share? on Apple CEO Tim Cook on EU Apple Tax Case: 'Total Political Crap' (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Why does Ireland get to pass laws then? I mean, if they're not in charge and just an agent of the EU ( much like your rogue IRS agent analogy), why does the EU allow them to make law at all? Why not take that privilege away entirely?

  17. They won't need your car. They'll have fleets of vehicles ready to go.

  18. With Uber reaping all the benefits and feeling none of the loss.

  19. Re:I wonder... on 'We're Just Rentals': Uber Drivers Ask Where They Fit In a Self-Driving Future (theguardian.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just like all the 20 somethings that signed up for student loans and are now complaining that they student loan debt. They don't want to be right, they just things to be in their favor.

  20. Re:Good thing you have a choice on Bar In UK Uses Faraday Cage To Block Mobile Phone Signals (telegraph.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    So if they just install the cage but lie claiming it keeps out ghosts, you'd be okay with it?

  21. Re:Bullshit limitations... on Comcast Expands $10 Low-Income Internet Plan (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Poor people will ultimately fuck each other over. One of them will probably download something illegal and f the other two or the one with the box will hold it hostage until the other 2 agree on something childish and/or ridiculous.

  22. It's not among the unallowable categories, either.

  23. Someone on the internet espousing the virtues of the TERMS OF SERVICE?! Oh, man, I needed a good laugh this morning. Most computer users have been knowingly and unknowingly violating the TERMS OF SERVICE since commercial software came into existence.

    NO business would "chew their arm off" to use this if the end result was no new customers

    When your potential customers like to set up meth labs or are just generally scummy assholes that will have no regard for your property or other residents, yeah, they would.

  25. Re: Yes on Ask Slashdot: Would You Recommend Updating To Windows 10? · · Score: 2

    And what/who is compelling you to use Windows products when Linux for the desktop is free and Mac OS is out there if you want to pay for it?
