    And no one is saying that sequestration was originally Obama's idea.

    OK, let's follow this hare down the rabbit hole.
    Do away with email and create more 29hr/week( praise be the messiah 0bama for this one ) postal carriers.
    Stop news sites on the internet and create more newspaper routes for jobless teenagers.
    Stop IM and create telegraph runners.

    Anything else you want to add to your version Directive 10-289? :-\

  3. Re:Illegal thing to do on Bradley Manning Pleads Guilty To 10 Charges · · Score: -1

    He deliberately aided and abetted an enemy.
    His trial and execution should have been a done deal 2.5 years ago.

  5. There isn't water in a landfill for biodegradation on Are Plastic Bag Bans Making People Sick? · · Score: 1

    because of this EPA requirement
    """
    The design, construction, and operation of the LCS should maintain a maximum height of leachate above the composite liner of 30 cm (12 in).
    """

    There isn't enough water in a landfill for waste to biograde. It is mummified through compaction and dehydration. The smaller plastic bags are in fact better since they take up less space in a landfill.

  6. and it is OK for the Sierra Club to get OPEC $$$$ on Billionaires Secretly Fund Vast Climate Denial Network · · Score: 1

    to stop drilling in the US to prop up their monopoly on energy for the US?

    Sometimes, you just need a K/T event to clean out the old and start afresh.

    Were the 3,000 killed on 9/11 convicted of a crime and had a sentence hearing where they got capital punishment for this 'alleged' crime?

    Phuque OBL. He was a terrorist. He killed people. He reaped what he sowed. Cry me a river for a dead terrorist.

  14. Let's get the biggest tax dodgers on the roads on Oregon Lawmakers Propose Mileage Tax On Fuel Efficient Vehicles · · Score: 0

    which are those idiots on two wheelers that pay zero for the usage of the king's highway, impede traffic everywhere they go, and ignore traffic laws at a whim. They need to be taxed to cover their fair share of the burden of having the roads maintained, their vehicles registered with the state, pay insurance to cover the mayhem they cause by their mere presence, prove they can operate safely on the road, and have a minimum mandated safety equipment(lights, reflectors, mirrors, etc) on their vehicles.

  15. Hilarity has ensued on Connecticut Group Wants Your Violent Videogames — To Destroy Them · · Score: 1

    Now that Slashdot crowd has been hoisted upon their own petard over the CT shooting. The fanatics are certain that they're going to get the Second Amendment and have now started on the First.

    We told you so. We told you so. We told you so.
    You know, somehow, "I told you so" just doesn't quite say it.

    Which means then that you 'do' have something to hide and your house will get a SWAT no-knock take down( that includes the mandatory dog shooting for officer safety) to seize these encrypted hard drives. You'll sit in general population until you're tired of the nightly booty bandit raids on your manginity to give up the passwords.

    My wager is that there is a high correlation between those police agencies that want these powers and those police agencies that want total gun control so that they're the only ones with guns. The word 'control' is the operative word here.

    Welcome to the new America. Yeah, and I too thought that 0bama would get rid of this stupidity but he's apparently doubling down on it.

  17. How did I ever guess on The Earliest Known Dino? · · Score: 1

    that this would turn into a troll thread rather a rational discussion of one of the greatest paleontological finds? Sad that so many 'open minded' people are as bigoted && mean spirited as they perceive others to be.

    It is exciting to me to have any new scientific discovery of this magnitude. Hopefully, this will lead to the further study of earlier finds to push the veil back even further on the predecessors of these fossils.

    And to explode the minds of the trolls, I confess that I'm an orthodox Christian.

  20. Re:Interesting on Internal Bug: Code Flaw May Lead to Wrong Dose From Infusion Pump · · Score: 1

    You assume wrong.
    If you plug the numbers into the device and recheck against the order to see if you're correct, what else can be reasonably done?
    It would be the same to demand that you check the tire pressure, oil level, and battery charge every time you get into your car.
    A lot of tests are done daily and you may have the incorrect dose running for up to 24 hours before being discovered if you're using lab tests to pick up medication pump errors. Unless it is such a gross error that a bag of fluid that should take 24 hours to infuse only takes part of your 8 hour shift.

  21. Re:Soooooo... on Hitachi Develops Boarding Gate With Built-In Explosives Detector · · Score: 1

    OK, so what about walking through my workshop where I also reload?
    It is going to go bonkers over my shoes.

    All this does is reinforce my opinion that the TSA has destroyed what is left of the airlines. Interesting tidbit is that the overall airline industry has never shown a profit. Individual airlines may make money, but overall it is a financially suck industry.

    This is why my Jeep now has 200k miles on it. If I cannot drive there, I ain't a going.

    Funny that you want to apply this to a Republican but are so willing to accept the veil of secrecy that your messiah has created over the entirety of his life. Where are your messiah's income tax returns, his articles he has written, his transcripts, his white girl friends, his thesis that he wrote, and the lectures he gave?

    Hypocrisy. Again, how does it work again?

  24. Re:How convenient for Blizzard on Iranian Players Blocked From World of Warcraft Due To Trade Sanctions · · Score: 1

    I don't believe that Blizzard is going to get rich off of the funds that were in the accounts since those funds would be used within weeks but would make more money if there was a continual revenue flow.

    All in all, and this is from someone that is vehemently anti Mohammedite extremist; that this was a plum dumb move. Just WTF is suppose to accomplish?

    You win for now...nerd

    Too bad it's impossible to get 5k light years away, I'd love to see the place.

    Always remember that The Royal Astronomical Society definitively proved that it was impossible for a passenger train to travel >= 32 mph lest all the oxygen would be sucked out of the rail car. It has to be true since it was proved with science!

    Once the branch of mathematics is discovered that will solve such limits problems as division by zero and the speed of light; we could very well make that trip in a matter of minutes.

    Yet another reason that we need to support pure basic fundamental research. (repetition was intentional)
