  1. Re:Protect your freedom of speech.. on App Detects Neo-Nazis Using Their Music · · Score: 1

    The US has healthcare and compulsory treatment of those with emergency medical needs.

    And it is so much more efficient and humane to fight fires in the emergency room than to get people the treatement they need before there's a crisis.

    Contrary to what you may have read in or heard about from the US media, which is dominated by people who support govt running the US healthcare system,

    Citation needed.

    there is no crisis in US healthcare, no widespread lack of access.

    Because it is so much more efficient and humane to fight fires in the emergency room than to get people the treatement they need before there's a crisis.

  2. The cloud? on The Desktop Is Dead, Long Live the Desktop! · · Score: 1

    Where you can't get at your files unless you have an Internet connection, and they go away if some company goes bust -- but the NSA and the 1337 |-|@X0R d00d2 can help themselves?

  3. Re:Meanwhile on Disabled Woman Denied Entrance To US Due To Private Medical Records · · Score: 2

    So, then, propose how many people and resources it will take to stop that last wetback, to swarm this whole country with goons asking Sus papeles, por favor of anyone they think looks foreign and beating the mierda out of them when they answer in English.

    And then propose some taxes to pay for it all. And then STFU and pay those taxes. The people who yell loudest about the border are also the ones who yell loudest about taxes.

  6. Re:Jesus Mismatched Christ on San Quentin Inmates Learn Technology From Silicon Valley Pros · · Score: 1

    Bring in nerds to try and turn cons into high tech entrepreneurs? Why not bring in Itzhak Perlman to teach them all how to be first-chair violinists? These guys need anger management, substance abuse counseling, and a job. They don't need angel financing.

    Earth calling paiute, come in paiute. This program is about getting them one of those three things.

  7. Re:Capital Crime on Glut In Stolen Identities Forces Price Cut · · Score: 1

    You must also think that literacy tests were about ensuring that voters could read the ballot and that poll taxes were about raising revenue.

    The purpose of "voter ID", which is the least of the shenanigans that the Plutocrat Party is pulling, is job security for the scumbag politicians who are trying to push it through.

  9. Re:Pretty much. on How Blockbuster Could Have Owned Netflix · · Score: 4, Interesting

    What I most dislike about the rental versions is that they often have trailer after trailer and they disable the "skip this" button. (Note to DVD vendors: DO. NOT. DO. THAT. If I choose to skip the trailer, you have already lost the sale. Giving me that damned icon instead of doing as I asked only annoys me.)

  10. Attention Tea Party knuckleheads: on Venezuela: Cheap Television Sets For All! · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Food, shelter and health care are necessary for life.

    TV sets are necessary only for effective distribution of propaganda.

  11. Re:As an outsider. on Healthcare.gov Official Resigns, Website Still a Disaster · · Score: 1

    When and estimated 93 Million people will lose their insurance so the law can cover 30 Million who didn't have it, that is a failure of the law.

    Citation needed.

    These numbers are from White House documents.

    Then you should have no trouble producing a citation.

  12. Re:Because "Illegal" is a stand-in for racial slur on What Employee Lock-In Means At Facebook · · Score: 1

    We have laws on the books, but the President won't enforce them

    OK, fine.

    We will swarm every nook and cranny of this country with Homeland Security goons^H^H^H^H^Hagents to flag down anyone they think looks a little bit brown, ask them sus papeles, por favor and beat the mierda out of them when they answer in English.

    We will build the Great Wall of Texas.

    And you, in return, will STFU when taxes are proposed to pay for it all.

  13. Re:Healthcare.gov problems are real on Administration Admits Obamacare Website Stinks · · Score: 3, Insightful

    "Sacred duty to disobey the law and trash the government"? On what planet? Here on Earth, anyone who criticized george w. bush and his harebrained Iraqi adventure was an America-hating terrorist-sympathizing commie Dhimmicrat socialist traitor.

    Now ask again why we need antitrust laws with teeth.

    Then at the end of it all, when it turns out that billions are being poured into this program yet the likes of Boston are still happening, there's going to reach a point where someone says "We need to stop funding this white elephant", because that's how politics works.

    And yet the War on Civil Liberties^W^WDrugs continues.

    FTFA: This product also allows that screen, once a vehicle comes to a stop for four seconds or longer, to display a different image on the plate such as an advertisement.

    *facepalm* Just what we need. Moar advertising!

  17. Do you really want them to just ask for a name? on What Marketers Think They Know About You and What They Really Do · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If they only asked for a name, anyone including your psycho ex-girlfriend could get this information.

  18. Re:Diminishing returns on Schneier: We Need To Relearn How To Accept Risk · · Score: 2

    Don't Christians in the USA go around telling each other the president is infallible and that they should respect the police?

    Some soi-disant Christians are all but claiming that B. Hussein Osama is the Antichrist.

    "A small fire"? To say nothing of getting pummeled by debris when the Twin Towers collapsed? The DEA would like to know what you've been smoking and where you've been getting it.
