    they just don't want people in sensitive places getting potentially dodgy links coming up on their screens.

    Did you even read the first sentence of the summary? That is not the reason they're filtering auto-complete.

    It’s taken a while, but Google has finally caved in to pressure from the entertainment industries including the MPAA and RIAA.

    Could he have perhaps used some kind of detergent/water mixture to get rid of the smell instead of putting them in the freezer? Applying a combination of heat and air would help dry them quickly so that he could wear them again within a couple hours.

    Mass Effect 2 was so awesome I actually went out and bought a genuine copy of it after I beat it. I think I've got at least 200 hours logged on that game as many times as I've replayed it.

    It's simpler than that, have two lines, one with the nekkid strip search machine that's an hour long and one that allows concealed handgun license holders exercise their right to carry. Of course I say two lines, but the second one wouldn't be much of a line.

    Why is it amusing that they would deny a MAN MADE disaster and not one created by God? God can do anything, man is not capable of such great power. Makes perfect sense when you put the right colored lenses on.

    Many people also spend thousands of dollars on their car per year in performance parts and accessories.

    Having the cool factor of "an ipad in my dash" is way better than some lame warranty.

  16. Re:Why distort the image? on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 1

    But seriously, though... if there were mass boycotts of the airlines for even a couple of days in protest over the scanners, I bet we'd see them removed right quick.

    1-2 day boycotts are worthless. People will either fly the day before or the days after, or they'll forget, or they have to fly for business, or whatever.... We have to boycott ENTIRELY and in large percentages, and not give up until they do what we want. Put your money where your mouth is. I have family driving from Las Vegas to Houston for the holidays. We just had to make an emergency trip to St. Louis from Houston, and we did it in a car. Is it convenient? Fuck no, but it's better than putting up with the bull shit at the airport. And it turns out, it's also saving a ton of money. Maybe we'll just skip flying now entirely?

    Note how [i]most[/i] of these are basically bullshit courses. Someone with a decent vocabulary that is really good at writing bullshit could easily pass most of those courses with minimal research. I've taken a couple of those classes on the list and they were probably the ones I took least serious because I knew I could skim the books a few nights before the final and ace it.

    And the idea is as ridiculous now as it was then. If that city arrangement actually worked, we'd see one of them on land by now. People don't want to live in what is essentially a giant apartment building. At least, the type of people that are educated and skilled enough to afford living in this "prime" real estate. Not saying it'll never happen, or it's a bad idea, I'd love to see it personally. But it's so far fetched, such a low demand, and such a wild departure from a normal lifestyle that it's highly unlikely.

  23. Re:Obama is not the Great Leader that many wish hi on Obama Says Offshoring Fears Are Unwarranted · · Score: 1

    If the GOP proposes a balanced budget that included the military budget and preserving Social Security, they'd be worth listening too. I expect that if they fail to produce an actual budget like that, they will again be voted out in 2012.

    Too bad a balanced budget is not possible. Estimated receipts for taxes this year is $2.38 billion. We're currently estimated to spend $2.18 billion on "mandatory" spending like social security, welfare, etc...

    Even if we cut our ENTIRE military budget worth 18.74% of our overall budget, we would not run a surplus this year. In fact, we wouldn't even be close. We have to come to grips with reality here. Entitlement spending, military spending, and all discretionary spending has to drop significantly. ALL of it. Not just a billion here and there, but 30%+ cuts in each department. The math doesn't lie, we do not have the money to keep spending on our current path.

    And to blame this on one party or another is foolish. It also does nothing to solve the problem.
