    ...when we allow people to be free. we can't be just handing that shit out.

  2. Re: samzenpus: on How Sperm Whales Offset Their Carbon Footprint · · Score: 1

    modern vehicles terrible at carbon monoxide poisoning... it is to the point now, that the vehicle would have to consume all the oxygen in the room to kill you, rather than building up CO enough to do it.

    True that. I think I'll go borrow an M109A6 Paladin from the national guard armory....i mean, fuck...it's already paid for.

    Well...if you were straight edge you could use your personal phone to listen to Minor Threat.

  7. rivalrous? on IEEE Working Group Considers Kinder, Gentler DRM · · Score: 1

    Your definition of "rivalrous" sounds like the more commonly-used "zero-sum".

  8. Re:Don't let reality get in the way of your anger on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 3, Funny

    I can't tell if you are joking or not.

    Using tax-payer funds to subsidize personal Macintosh purchases?

    Hitler didn't have a laptop in school, and look how THAT turned out!

  10. Re:My two cents on MA High School Forces All Students To Buy MacBooks · · Score: 1

    The best CS classes I ever took had NO computers in the room, save the professors. You pay attention to the demo and lecture better when you don't have a computer of your own to use. When i brought my laptop, i found myself missing things.

    I work in a school district.... everyone's looking for magic bullets. Good teachers (normal bullets) are last years Christmas presents.

  11. Re:oh my.... on Venture Capitalists Lobby Against Software Patents · · Score: 1

    Ok, this is fair. But I'm sure you'd agree, Mr. Moore's style is much more compelling, at least compared to Patent Absurdity.

  12. oh my.... on Venture Capitalists Lobby Against Software Patents · · Score: 3, Informative

    I am no fan of Michael Moore (well, i liked TV Nation)...but these dudes could learn a lot from his style of instigation-based film-making.

    I watched the video all the way to the end....it only resonates with me cause i already agree with it. It's a film for the echo chamber. But it will fail to convince anyone in the middle...

  14. Re:Why not sue RIM while you're at it? on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 1

    She should also hit the IETF, IEEE, and her ISP. I'm sure a Sisco router routed this dangerous information at some point too.

  15. well.... on Pedestrian Follows Google Map, Gets Run Over, Sues · · Score: 1

    $100,000 lawsuit is pretty cheap these days....

    That's probably less then 3 billable days for google lawyers.

  16. Re:Liability caps on BP Knew of Deepwater Horizon Problems 11 Months Ago · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Any damages applied to them would simply be passed on to the consumers. Personal fines or jail for board members on the other hand....

  17. Re:Why? on High-Tech Burglars May Get Longer Sentences In Louisiana · · Score: 1

    Because a CV is for academics and is too lengthy for most jobs. Unless you really mean a resume that some retard calls a CV.

  18. Re:Most people... on The "Scientific Impotence" Excuse · · Score: 1

    Remember when that indian tribe near the grand canyon threw the university researchers of their reservation when it turned out their DNA (collected for medical research) was used to disprove their tribal origin stories?

    Not that I need DNA evidence to tell me native americans didn't come from an eagle or rainbow or somesuch.

    the antithesis of the "out of the box" experience test.

    if there was no chance for a profit, it is unlikely that Venter would have spend the last 15 years and shitloads of money on the project.
