  1. Re:iPad on 7-Inch iPad Rumored · · Score: 1

    what is the purpose of this medium-sized iPhone?

    You certainly aren't a hipster. I've studied their language and the prickish snooty word replacement for medium is "Grande". Nobody knows why.

    They know I'm an artist and an intellectual person... and also full of myself.

    There fixed it.

  2. hmmm on Cambered Tires Can Improve Fuel Economy · · Score: 2, Insightful

    It's like dragging a car sideways to the tires for many miles. In what universe does this make sense?

  3. Re:The Cost of Cheap Gasoline on The Fuel Cost of Obesity · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, but the last I checked, during both Gulf wars, the price of petroleum products actually went up.

    Also, the wells, pipelines and derricks in Iraq are all under the control of Iraqis and not these oil tycoons that you so envision.

    Get off your fucking high horse.

    In the grand scope of things, 1B gallons over that time span is piss in the ocean.

    1B gallons / 31 gallons per barrel = 32,258,064.5 barrels. Thats less than the US consumes in 2 days.

    And let me guess, you also did it while drinking whiskey. If a car got in your way, you simply moved through them.

  6. Re:So who will be the next China? on China To Close 2,000 Factories In Energy Crackdown · · Score: 1

    What happens when *all* countries have tighter manufacturing limits in place?

    They won't but they will lie about it.

    Peter Mandelson-type inspector guy: What is the electricity consumption of your manufacturing sector?
    Chinese guy: 1
    Peter Mandelson-type inspector guy: Great! Keep up the good work! *Gold Star*

  9. hmmm on Senate Confirms Elena Kagan's Appointment To SCOTUS · · Score: 1

    The President of the United States can nominate any citizen regardless of legal expertise. With enough hard work and study of the Constitution they would be protecting, anyone could do it in theory.

    Where the theory breaks down is in practice. The SCOTUS docket is so jam packed with cases requiring complex inturpretation of both law and Constitution, a strong judicial background would definitely help.

  10. Forgive me on Mars Rover Spirit May Never Wake From Deep Sleep · · Score: 2, Funny

    Have you tried turning it off and on again?

  13. hmmm on If You Don't Want Your Car Stolen, Make It Pink · · Score: 1

    My Neon has an amazing security system. By virtue of being a stock Neon, what thief would ever steal it?

  14. Re:US abuse on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    How is it a democracy when the population doesn't have a say as to what is going on at the national level?

    This is not a democracy. It is a republic.

    I'm a right-winger and everything I've seen Chu do while a cabinet member has made me say "Damn! I'm glad this guy has some sort of power".

  19. HMMM on Has Any Creative Work Failed Because of Piracy? · · Score: 1

    With Hollywood Accounting, every project in the film industry is a financial failure. Due to what, other than crooked accounting practices, is up to the MPAAs interpretation.

  20. Re:NASA had another option in 1981 on NASA's Plutonium Supply Dwindling; ESA To Help · · Score: 1

    Why? They became comfortable with designing a system around something specific. If they were to have to use another gamma emitter like Uranium, Cesium or any number of any things, it would mean that they would have to do some work.

    Where did the balls in America go? A challenge like this used to be trivial. Don't have a certain kind of gamma emitter? No problem! Build a better mousetrap!

  23. This must mean a few things... on Feds and Hollywood Seize Domains of Movie Pirates · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If ICE, the FBI and a bunch of other alphabet soup agencies are doing this, whether it is within their jurisdiction OR NOT, it has to mean a few things in order to make sense:

    1. Nobody is killing anyone in the US. Murder is a thing of the past.
    2. Illegal immigration is a thing of the past.
    3. Pedophiles are all behind bars where they belong.
    4. Terrorists are all where they belong: the afterlife.
    5. What drugs on the streets?

    Agree with it or not, the whole idea of a government takeover of a website at the flip of a switch just gives me the heebie jeebies.

  24. Off topic I know... on Mozilla Updates Firefox To Appease FarmVille Users · · Score: 3, Funny

    but it reminds me of the last LAN party I went to. Someone suggested we play Farmville. To which the resounding reply was "FUCK YOUR MAFIAFARMWARSVILLE... quarium".
