  1. Re:Since when on US Plummets On World Press Freedom Ranking · · Score: 1

    How many of these "journalists" getting arrested were bloggers and twipsters just there to participate?

  2. Re:"I've got one that can SEE!" -- They Live on US Plummets On World Press Freedom Ranking · · Score: 1

    "They Live" was Rowdy Roddy Pipers crowning cinematographic masterpiece.

    Unless of course you take into account that wood buildings tend to catch fire after the earthquake.

    While we will never run out of Mexicans to do all the labor (or Arabs if you are European), we may need to explore alternatives to the massive amounts of wood we use for tinderbox McMansions.

  6. Re:Not *totally* drug resistant on Totally Drug-Resistant TB Emerges In India · · Score: 1

    One of the biggest problems is that people start the "Latent TB" regimen, but not finish it.

    It is like 6 to 9 months of a pill every day, is pretty hard on your body (especially the liver), and if you stop before it is over, you are pretty much screwed.

    I know the girls out there taking their birth control every day probably don't think it is a big deal... but a pill EVERY day? Guys don't usually have that kind of discipline.

  7. Re:And... on IBM Shrinks Bit Size To 12 Atoms · · Score: 4, Funny

    You know, when you are storing bits and you are already at 12, where can you go from there? Where?

    No where.

    Ours goes to 11.

    One smaller.

    Oh Jesus.

    I guess their obligation is to absorb infinite lawsuits on behalf of every kid who puts music on their videos?

    How about you go start your own corporation and run it on good intentions.

    This is the Jobs "Doomsday Device". ....And I will just say hello,

  11. Re:Should X be mandatory? on Should Composting Be Mandatory In US Cities? · · Score: -1, Troll

    telling people what to do with their property (thus treating private property like communal property) is communism.

    I myself sort all my recycling, compost in my back yard, built a rain barrel and xerescaped my yard.

    i do this because it interests me, no one should to order me to do it.

    no one else should have to just because someone else thinks its a "green" thing to do.

    save the commie bullshit for some other country.

  14. Re:Autism: The new fad in personality disorders on When Geeks Meet, Are They More Likely To Have Autistic Kids? · · Score: 2

    the town i live in has a lot of "troubled youth" schools. i'm fairly familiar with the acting-up kid circuit.

    http://g.co/maps/8vagy

    that AC is actually right more than you know. the punks come in 2 kinds: the actual punks; and kids who've barely acted out (or even not at all) and their upwardly mobile parents didn't have the time/patience/interest to expend so they pay $$$ to have their kid locked up.

    you could come see this first hand by working at any of the MANY fine establishments... there is such a massive market here because of the sheer number of California yuppies who have no idea what to do with their kids. it is an inconvenience to them, so they outsource.

    i'm sure you won't change your opinion on this matter, but this is the truth.

    You've never obviously done tech support in a school district.

    Bullshit.

    No real man cares about women falling in love with eachother. We just like to see hot chicks dyke out.

    Q: Why do women fake orgasms?

    In the police and civilian firearm training world, Massad Ayoob is a rockstar. I wouldn't say "no glory". He's sort-of like the Pedro Sauer of defensive handgun training doctrine (as Jeff Cooper is like Helio Gracie).

    Having paper rolled up in a "scroll" is an even older paper-based medium.

    Personally, I don't know what the problem here is. There are "page"-down buttons, and web "pages" have always had the ability to break content into multiple pages with links.
