We'd become xenophobic omnicidal recluses and have to be locked away in a time lock...

wait what? Is that a thing people do?

Which is it, Deep Web or Darknet?

Excellent reporting there.

While his original idea has some sound points, the ideological militancy with which he pursues it does more harm to free software than good at this point. BSD-style licenses are not the enemy of free software.

Shunning BSD goes far beyond attacking non-free software; it's shunning free software proponents who don't shun non-free software. What's next, refusing to work with developers who also contribute to BSD projects? Refusing to work with developers who don't refuse to work with those developers? Take that far enough and you're basically on your own.

That's pretty optimistic for a centralized site that seems to do exactly what the Pirate Bay got shut down for...

... I have so many coathangers. I don't remember buying most of them.

Mind blown.

"I will not buy this passport. It is fake."

At least the bot didn't pay a hitman to have random people killed.

NASA didn't decide to build that; a Republican senator from Mississippi forced through the budget amendment even though it was pointless. Apparently stimulating the economy down there with some completely useless waste of resources is more important than actual space research.

Blaming NASA for it is just adding insult to injury - what an asshole reporter.

Instead of fancy breathalizer equipment, making people read a bunch of letters and numbers is probably enough.

That's supposed to mean the size of his body, or the size of his ego?

All you need is a small black hole to bend the light towards you...

Ebola and ISIS both still have fairly bad raps, so fat chance for Comcast.
