  1. Re:Nonsense on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 0

    The Constitution is a list of ENUMERATED RIGHTS WE GRANT THE GOVERNMENT.

    The Federal Government can simply say its not a duty entrusted to them. ITS A STATES ISSUES.

    And really, do you think the people that are currently running the country can fix anything? If your hopes are on the ass-tards in power know to keep you safe and healthy you are an idiot. The TSA? Two wars against what are basically flash mobs, not standing Armies. How well is the solution to the Korean war going?

     

  2. Pay to talk to your friends? on Facebook Tests the Waters With Paid Perks · · Score: 0

    Only in America are you narcissistic enough to think that what you have to say is SO important its work PAYING to put it in front of your 'friends'.

     

  3. Re:The Avengers is a bad movie to pirate on The Avengers: Why Pirates Failed To Prevent a Box Office Record · · Score: 0

    Sad to say, I went through that clip frame by frame... and no joy fellas. No nip slips. Those fun bags must have been welded into that bra.

  4. Re:Clunky is right on 3D-Printed Circuit Boards, For Solder-Free Printable Electronics · · Score: 0

    You need some other CAD software (anything free?)

    You need to properly name and layout multiple files. No custom PBC sizes for custom enclosures (say circular, or with tabs/tapers etc)

    You have to wait a LLOONNGGGG time.

    For novice/intermediate users this is better how?

    FTFA:

    "While there is uncertainty in the measurements--"

    As soon as I read that I stopped. That article is pure hogwash after that point. THEY ADMIT TO NOT KNOW HOW MUCH, NOR HOW TO EVEN MEASURE THE AMOUNT OF CO2 FROM VOLCANIC EMISSIONS!

    Yet they spend another 6 paragraphs telling me that its less than humans.

    SCIENCE FAIL!

  7. Re:Prices are what the market will bear on Aussie Parliamentary Inquiry Into Software Pricing Announced · · Score: 0

    Your economics are 180 out. The strong AU dollar should buy you MORE American product, not less.

    Unless (like Zimbabwe) there is a $1 Trillion dollar note that's good for a loaf of bread?

    Setting an artificially high (or simply made up) value on a product is not what 'what the market can bear' but more like a monopoly abusing its power.

  8. STOP STEALING. on DoJ Defends $1.92 Million RIAA Verdict · · Score: -1

    Don't want to go to court and get hit with a HUGE verdict?

    STOP STEALING SHIT ONLINE.

    Og course the DoJ like big verdicts... the gubment gets 30%+ in taxes. DUH.

  9. Re:I'm sick of this Linux attitude on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 0

    Other than the toilet, knowing how to operate these items is all you are expected to do as none of the repair parts would be readily available for repair.

    For some reason you can get parts for the toilet.. because fixing them can be a somewhat shitty job.

    Knowing how to run the 'network connection wizard' or whatever ubuntu calls it is nothing more technical than knowing how to adjust the power level or set the clock on a microwave.

    The problem is that she's trying to get into a TECHNICAL field, at a TECHNICAL collage. At *SOME* point shes gonna have to figure it out.

    So far her career path looks like a short stint at a help desk then unemployment.

    As some of us started out direct dialing into BBS's. And who could forget Genie? Good times.

  11. She is the RESULT of 12+ yrs of public schools? on Woman Claims Ubuntu Kept Her From Online Classes · · Score: 0

    Holy smokes! I mean you are exposed to PCs (and Google, your new bff) in High School.. most kids even earlier. Yet this person drops out of a TECHNICAL SCHOOL because she can't resolve either a simple network configuration or a consumer complaint?

    Wow..... I hope she's good in bed because all her other job prospects are looking very dim.

  12. Re:Very Very Dangerous Ground We Tread Upon on The Unmanned Air Force · · Score: 0

    No.. let the Military FIGHT.

    All to often politicians say what can and cannot be targeted. Almost all of the video of air to ground strikes have way to much chatter Ie Gunner 'can we smoke them?' reply: 'Do they have a gun?' gunner 'affirmative' and in the background you hear 4 relays to higher ups.

    Put a few 30mm shells on them and let god/allah figure it out. In WWII they actually sent guys out to strafe whatever they found... trains/cars/convoys. Imagine that... killing the enemy.

  13. Re:feh on IRS Eyeballing Virtual World Tax Policies · · Score: 0

    The Government uses taxes for behavior modification as much as for revenue. Unless you can clearly realize the taxes are nothing more than legalized extortion (give us your money or we'll take your house) for dubious public good. Where does the Constitution of any State guarantee the RIGHT to low cost public transportation, health care or schools?

  14. Ask the US Navy how to do it. on Distributed "Nuclear Batteries" the New Infrastructure Answer? · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    I was on boomers for 4 years. We were completely 'closed loop' for weeks on end. We didn't get sick, contaminated or lose power. I had nuclear powered AC and man was it cold. If you want to build the power infrastructure, first, get rid of the politicians and the eco-wackjobs. Then let the smart people get to work. Without politicians looking for handouts and eco-wackjobs inciting fear over non-issues, things will get done.

  15. Re:Paying a foreign company to spy on Americans? on WSJ Confirms RIAA Fired MediaSentry · · Score: 0

    A company is trying to keep deadbeats from stealing their legal property. Its freaking music. You would not shoplift a CD yet putting it in a publicly accessed folder for all to copy is ok? I support the **AA's 100% for protecting their assets. If you don't like it.. change the laws. But done cry when you get caught by legal means and convicted by a jury of your peers.

  16. Re:God, please let this be true. on Prescription Handguns For the Elderly and Disabled · · Score: 0

    So your own empirical data shows what gun owners have know all along.. GUNS DON'T KILL PEOPLE, PEOPLE KILL PEOPLE. If a major chinese city has murders and no guns, then it would be a logical step to conclude the above.

  17. Re:Give it to someone else and lose control on Extended Gmail Outage Frustrates Admins · · Score: 0

    I concur. At least you will be able to work around the issue if its on site and within your control. Posting your cries to a support forum is not my idea of administering a system.

    Now would be a great time to convince the CEO to bring it in house... and show how valuable your skills are next round of raises.

    If its just a font end issue can't you access mail via POP3 of other way? The mail isn't bouncing is it?

  18. 3rd world contries need... on Solar Cells — Made In a Pizza Oven · · Score: -1, Troll

    GUNS to hunt and protect themselves. What fucking good is a night lite when you are starving and have crazy warlords participating in genocide on a scale that Hitler himself would be proud of? The chick is hot, but as soon as she blathered about global warming her perky tits could no longer hold my interest.

  19. Stop stealing... then the RIAA will not matter. on Tufts Tells Judge, We Can't Tie IP To MAC Addresses · · Score: 0

    Lots of people pontificating about logs and regurgitating the last chapter of 'Networking for dummies' they just read. Stop stealing shit. Really. Its a song. Whippy freaking do. Listen to the radio, satellite t.v. has lots of free songs. You whimpering little bitches brag about your 10G mp3 collection... but then complain about your mom telling you to turn down that music. Get a life, a paycheck and stop stealing.

    They will do the jobs that no American will. Picking fruit, writing COBOL....

  21. Why are 'Wonders' all buildings? on Did We Really Need Seven New Wonders? · · Score: 0

    I mean come one, they are just piles of bricks or stone. If they did not include the Atlas 5 rocket (most complex machine in the world at that time... only object that could put us on another world) as a WONDER then phoey on them.
