  1. Re:And vote Democrat to accelerate the process? on DHS Sends Tourists Home Over Twitter Jokes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I, too, hate Obama for allowing Twitter to exist.

    I suppose that's what you mean, since he has no control over or anything to do with the daily operation of Twitter...

    You, sir, are an excellent troll.

    So vote Democrat only if you want things even worse than voting for Republicans - because in the end the only people really into fascism are liberals.

    I bet you can't name one thing that these dastardly Democrats do that is worse than an equivalent measure by the Republicans (ok, maybe with healthcare).

    Also, by definition a liberal cannot be 'into fascism'. Liberal implies a breaking free from constraints, while Fascist implies the opposite with absolute and strict monitoring and control. They are diametrically opposed and cannot be likened to each other in even the slightest way.

    Well, clearly, if we had never actually BEEN to the moon we would still think it was made of cheese, and would be at war with Italy over the mining rights for the Lesser Mozzarella Mountains and the Plains of Parmesan

    Thanks, Mrs Palin. I wasn't clear on that.

  5. Awesome! on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 0

    So it looks like America has just embraced the fact that it no longer produces any worthwhile physical products, and that its only hope for future industry is to monetize ideas and concepts, further contributing to Imaginary Property(IP) and all of the social and technological ills that come with it!

    We can leave all of those 'hardware' goods up to those lesser countries, like China and Japan, right? I'm sure we can come up with enough ideas and prevent them from being copied long enough to profit so much more than the hardware guys, right? /s

  6. Is this an issue? on AT&T Caps Netflix Streaming Costs At $68K/Yr · · Score: 1

    I thought this would be sort of a non-issue because it seems that everyone realizes that AT&T is a steaming pile of shit and that you are doing yourself and your country a disservice by doing business with them?

    I thought everyone knew that if you want a real data plan, go for one of the non-top-3 carriers?

    $20/250mb? I think I paid less in 1995. Fucking criminals. All of them.

  9. Re:This for Telling the Truth on Indonesian Man Faces Five Years For Atheist Facebook Post · · Score: 2

    Perhaps way way way way way waaaaaay back in the day, it was created to explain something. Over the millennia it has been warped into a moral and ethical control system, by which the leaders of some cult-like secret societies can dictate what is right and wrong to the world.

  10. Re:... are reversed into tomorrows witch hunts on Indonesian Man Faces Five Years For Atheist Facebook Post · · Score: 1

    Please, illustrate a serious issue in the world today that isn't somehow related to religion.

    Wars? We are fighting religious extremists(ostensibly) who are so extremely religious that they beat people to death for showing their face(purportedly against some 'religious law').

    Famine? Many starving villages in Africa are where they are because they were outcast to unsustainable lands by people who disagreed religiously, or because they were fleeing religious execution. Many villages are plundered for their food aid by people who believe themselves superior to the others due to their religious beliefs.

    Poverty? Are you shitting me? I would love to see how many of the 1% have significant ties to Christianity or the Catholic Church. Ridiculous.

    Somehow, I'm fine with hunting down the believers and doing the world a favor. Someone get my torch and pitchfork. This is gonna be fun.

  12. Re:Nothing like a beating to make a believer. on Indonesian Man Faces Five Years For Atheist Facebook Post · · Score: 1

    According to Indonesian criminal law, anyone who tries to stop others believing in a faith could face up to five years in jail for blasphemy

    I wish people would figure this out already. Atheists aren't trying to make you not believe in a god. They just don't believe in that concept themselves.

    I know that Christianity LOVES to push and push and push to get you to side with them, but that is because they are a business trying to increase their moral control of the population and their income by way of donations and collections. This is one of the many things that I, as an Atheist, absolutely hate about religion.

    I'm fairly certain that they don't kill the little girls for their hair, and last I checked a haircut was pretty non-invasive.

    I, for one, vote that we just start executing any politician who - without first consulting their constituents or evaluating the public good of a measure - does something solely to benefit their donors.

    We can call it 'Rehabilitation' and make it like a death carnival during a monster truck show...

    If the system had not been so significantly corrupted through past legislation similar to this, any funding coming from the government(public money) would immediately make any work resulting therefrom public-sector work.

    Facebook is ok on this one, to an extent.

    The only thing that I can tell the timeline does is make information on someone's profile page absolutely impossible to find. That should IMPROVE the users' security if nothing else.

  23. Re:The final frontier on China Reveals Its Space Plans Up To 2016 · · Score: 1, Interesting

    There are entire syllable groups in the Japanese alphabet which begin with R. It is not an uncommon letter in Japanese.

    Of notable interest: teRiyaki, Roppongi, kaRate...the list goes on.

    It is the Chinese language that substitutes 'L' sounds for 'R' sounds, and the Japanese language that substitutes the 'R' sound for 'L' sounds.

    You will not likely see a Chinese person named Karakura, and will not likely see a Japanese person named Lipang.
