  1. Re:CO2? on DARPA Creates Machine Which Extinguishes Fires With Sound · · Score: 4, Informative

    "The Instant Fire Suppression project was specifically launched to devise new ways of tackling fires in enclosed spaces, such as aircraft cockpits and ship holds, where fires are obviously devastating and incredibly difficult to control." - TFA

    There are parents lazy enough to use walkie talkies to keep track of their kids at the mall? You've seen this and haven't punched them in the face? Shame on you.

    No, the scene where they used a big machine to cut through several levels of vault and then put the money into duffle bags that they carried with them proves that he stole the money. Shooting a hostage who was trying to help him in the head proves he was a criminal....you know what? Watch the damn movie yourself.

    I mean of all the....damn people haven't even seen Die Hard.

    No, there's no question. Hans Gruber definitely stole the money, there were guns and everything.

  7. Re:jump: Afghanistan - Battleship? on The Price of Military Tech Assistance In Movies · · Score: 2

    In the first Iron Man film, Tony Stark is in a village in the Middle East and he kills a bunch of "bad guys" who are mixed in with a bunch of innocent civilians. He trivially distinguishes between his targets and the rest of the population.
    This is bullshit.

    Really? You're calling out a Superhero movie, because the guy in the impervious flying suit of armor equipped with future tech repulsor blasts and powered by a cold fusion reactor the size of a paperweight, didn't hit any civilians with his inch sized AI guided missiles? But the fact that he didn't slaughter civilians is the great lie that the movie is perpetrating?

    a bunch of nature photographers who post their favorite pictures, and discuss how they were taken.

    Stupid?

    Well Zip Cars has already done pretty well for itself with a similar business model, so I don't see how this is stupid at all.

    Of course since you're falsely equating a car to a house, perhaps this means you are not merely using your car for transportation. In that case I would agree, this would not be a good option for people who live in their cars.

  11. Re:Sudden outbreak of common sense, I guess on NY Ruling Distinguishes Downloading, Viewing Child Pornography · · Score: 4, Funny

    Eh? How does that work, exactly?

    How does one tell the difference between consensual sex with an animal, and animal rape? After the fact, and with no evidence that it wasn't consensual?

    Well, you know, you're walking around town, turn a corner into a dark alleyway and come face to face with a ram and a pig, spinning around to leave you see a horse has your only escape blocked with his bulk. They've got a hungry look in their eyes and you know you're not getting out of this unscathed. The ram slams into your chest forcing you to the ground and you just keep on telling yourself not to let them see you cry.

    Stop animal rape today. If you see something, say something or it could be your story some day.

  12. Re:Sports and political talk shows on Hulu To Require Viewers To Have Cable Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    Yeah, never really been a problem in NY or Texas, but perhaps you aren't the type to get to know a bar owner and get special permission to have your kid chill with you there. Never fear though, there really are plenty of restaurants that can double as a bar you can watch sports at, such as Applebee's, TGIF Friday's, Ruby Tuesdays, Chilli's, well you get the idea.

    As for Becky's favorite shows, well I'm certain there's some form of medication for that.

  17. Re:An Example of Student Code of Conduct on School District Sued By ACLU Over Student's Free Speech Rights · · Score: 1

    Well then, if this is your public school policy I suggest that in the financial interests of your school, you should probably consult with a lawyer. The board of education likely doesn't have the authority to regulate the activities of children off school grounds, especially if their defense is a single party non-contractual statement. It would be like the city council passing a resolution that stated that any adult living in the city could be fined for using harsh language on the internet, it simply is beyond the scope of their granted power. In all likelihood your school district is open to a similar lawsuit by the ACLU, and as a school council representative it is your duty to try and protect your school from such liability.

  18. Re:What about the parents? on School District Sued By ACLU Over Student's Free Speech Rights · · Score: 1

    You are teaching children that the results are justification for the methods. Not sure if you intend for that lesson to get across, but that's the lesson I'm seeing in your words.

  19. Re:who's paying for it? on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    Though the law isn't about interlock devices, I figured I'd point out that the installation of a car interlock device lowers your insurance premiums enough that it pays for itself within a year. Then you get to enjoy cheaper premiums.

  20. Re:good thing they don't have laws in france on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    The savings on your insurance due to having a breathalyzer installed (insurance companies like this, it reduces risk) should more than cover the cost of the breathalyzer.

  21. Re:You know... on Aderall Or Nothing: Anatomy of the Great Amphetamine Drought · · Score: 1

    When I play video games, I tend to do so while watching TV and surfing the web, and often reading a comic book on my reader all at once. Often I do various combinations of these things for hours on end. Concentration? Yeah, maybe I need to concentrate for a minute at a time but I would hardly say that "all video games require a level of focal acuity that people who truly suffer from ADD/ADHD do not possess." Hell, I don't even find MOST video games to require that much concentration. Anecdotal evidence
