  1. Re:they have a up hill battle on Suit Seeks 'A La Carte' TV Channel Choices · · Score: 1

    That is because the main channel if sold alone will be enormously expensive. You currently pay anywhere from 2.50 to 4.00 per month for ESPN. If forced to go alone the price will be in the HBO territory...somewhere more than 15 to 20 dollars per month solely for ESPN. This will also happen to other big name channels who are subsidized by their many other low level channels. Some sell for 5 to 25 cents per month but provide an advertisement stream for the others. Ala Cart will be Ala Expensive for the average homeowner when they have to buy ESPN or any of the Disneys for the kids....each will be HBO sized in money. Disney will be 15 or 20 also.

  2. Re:Terrible news!!! on Where To Find Opus On Sunday · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It was supposed to be in the Washington Post....in the US. But due to fear of a local uprising from both the Muslim noobs, it would likely have resulted in yelps from their usual Leftist appeasers.

  3. Re:Papers please! on Going to Yosemite? Get Your Passport Ready! · · Score: 1

    Not to sure on the tax thingy...the top 1% of income earners pay 29% or ALL income tax. Top 5% pay 50% and top 10% pay 63% or ALL income tax. See percentage in graph here: http://www.allegromedia.com/sugi/taxes/ How is it they dont pay a fair share. My sis pays 39% of her income plus extra. How much did you have in mind? Perhaps like it was before Reagan came in.... 70-90%? Or as in the wonderful French economy...70%. Or did you just want to take it all.

  4. Re:Y2k? on Blogger Finds Bug in NASA Global Warming Study? · · Score: 1

    No, its NOT NASA per se, as in Johnson Center etc., these guys work out of an office in New York City. They are the usual contractors.

  5. Re:Absurd on Permit May Be Required For Public Photography in NYC · · Score: 1

    This should be love at first site to most Liberals. Any kind of Nannyism and tyrannical rules. Hard to discern which is worse at times...the Puritanical Right...or the Tyrannical Left. Just imagine Bloomberg as president...this is just a start as you can see by his rein in NYC.

  6. Bad Publicity on Adobe Tackles Photo Forgeries · · Score: 0, Troll

    Bad "publicity" is the least of what "Al-Reuters" suffers from.

  7. Re:When will the environmentalists picket NASA? on Sun May Be Warming Both Earth and Mars · · Score: 1

    Its obviously due to those SUV type 6 wheel drive Rover vehicles causing the damage on Mars. You have all heard how evil they are.

  8. Re:Damn ACLU on States Seek Laws to Curb Online Bullying · · Score: 1

    But Bullies have always served a useful purpose. They have a keen "loser" radar and can usually spot a young Loser early on. This way they can be pointed out to all and be made fun of from the start. You hate to let one get away and not find them until later in life...like Bill Gates or Balmer..

  9. Re:American Spirit at it's best on Army of Davids Beats Pentagon Procurement · · Score: 1, Troll

    The nastiest part of defeating communism around the world has resulted in all the usual Stalinists et al simply joining the Environmental movement, GreenPeace, PETA etc. So, they are still annoying.

  10. Penguins on Indonesia Stops Sharing Avian Virus Samples · · Score: 1

    But just wait till it starts killing off the PENGUINS and it migrates to dark closeted geeks and no one finds them for months. Sort of like the skeleton found in the Texas Aggie library with a medal around its neck with the moniker..."Hide 'n Seek Champ 1948"

  11. Re:Mandatory GW on The Mystery of Saturn's Atmosphere · · Score: 1

    So, will someone actually say we dont know ka-ka about what is going on...and move on. Or as someone stated below...is it all the Saturn SUV's that is causing this....

  12. Re:Pay attention! on Science Journal Publishers Wary of Free Information · · Score: 1

    And I've always been under the assumption we were at war with Myasia....but you say its Eurasia....which is it.

  13. Re:Human Caused on New Ice Age Theory · · Score: 2, Funny

    This is going to upset the Weather Lady to no end..... Maybe she can get a job with Vivid Entertainment. I can see her and Al together now....

  14. Re:You Can't Own Public Domain on WIPO Creating New IP Rights Over Web Content · · Score: 2, Informative

    If anyone wants to follow this go to Public Knowledge site. http://www.publicknowledge.org/articles They have people sitting in on this WIPO stuff and presenting views on it. This is very serious stuff. The broadcasters will be given a 30 year copyright simply by broadcasting it. Even if you give them rights for 5 years. This new copytheft will supercede your contract and they will get an additional 30 years or more simply by broadcasting it. Bookmark Public Citizen and follow it. Then flood you congress people, I have been for some time.

  15. Re:facial hair on The Hidden Engineering Gender Gap · · Score: 1

    I think Larry Summers formerly of Harvard can help with this. He ask this question last year and was fired at Harvard for bringing it up. But now that a female has broached the subject,,,,its OK. Proceed. onward thru the fog...
