  1. Re:Has nothing to do with "trumping" anything on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 2

    At least one person on here has some common sense. You are exactly right this was an accidental fire. Since many are against the activity that was taking place it becomes the scapegoat.

  2. Re:Whoops! Solely AP Not MPR on Domestic Drilling Doesn't Decrease Gasoline Prices · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    Yeah, supply and demand doesn't effect the law of supply and demand. I call bullshit on this. If it doesn't then why is Obama giving speeches about how drilling is increased under him. You libtards can't have it both ways. You can't say drilling won't help, and in the same breath say you are drilling all you can, especially when defying a court order to re-open drilling in the gulf, and blocking a pipeline. This site is supposed to be about tech. But, if we want to turn it into stupid political oneupsmanship then we can do that. Liberals, the all powerful government can solve every problem except gas prices/food prices.

  3. Re:Why not stick to real risks? on The Risk of a Meltdown In the Cloud · · Score: 2

    I agree. Too many people seem to think of computing as magic. Microsoft's cloud suffered a massive outage on Feb 29. All is well now, there is no ghost in the machine.

  4. Fascism is bold on France's Bold Drunk-Driving Legislation - Every Car To Carry a Breathalyzer · · Score: 1

    I don't like it. Apparently the OP does. I guess dems think fascism is good when they are in charge of it.

  5. Re:They are brave, but there's a difference on The Future of Protest In Panopticon Nation · · Score: 0

    Not enough. If pooping in public is your idea of a protest, you need your head bashed.

  6. Bad way to announce it on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    It may be inevitable that you have to raise your rates. But, you can go about it a little (lot) more pleasantly. You don't go out and dismiss it by saying oh it's just a couple of lattes. Sometimes it really is HOW you say it.

  7. Wasn't it just last year on Angry Birds Exec Says Console Games Are Dying · · Score: 1

    Wasn't it just last year all we heard was stories of hot the PC was dead as a gaming platform? Why must we keep declaring things dead. Just make your game on whatever platform and go on with your life. Stop with all this mallarky about all the other platforms being dead.

  8. Don't balance your budget on the back of workers on Are 10-11 Hour Programming Days Feasible? · · Score: 1

    I have seen companies go out of business due to practices like this. If he wants to pay you to work 11 hour days, thats one thing, but expecting your salary to cover the extra time is BS. Even if he pays, you can't be expected to go at that pace for an extended period of time. If you were offered an ownership stake, then there would be an incentive to work that hard. As it is, if he implements that policy expect 80% of workers to walk.

  9. Sad, but true on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    This is sadly true. I am a conservative, and am all but banned from sites like red state for my attempts to explain net neutrality. I think it all comes down to the word neutrality, the right feels like this is a fairness doctrine for the internet. I don't know what it will take to convince them otherwise. I have personally emailed Limbaugh about his comments and lack of understanding of the issue. No response to date.

  10. Lucky for him he didn't host music files on Compiling the WikiLeaks Fallout · · Score: 1

    If he hosted music files big brother would have shut his site down by now.

  11. Re:Go for it on US May Disable All Car Phones, Says Trans. Secretary · · Score: 1

    Amazing how attractive fascism is to some people.

  12. Re:Intentional? on The Placebo Effect Not Just On Drugs · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Exactly, no placebo affect here, just poor documentation.

  13. We need scholars to tell us that? on Scholars Say ACTA Needs Senate Approval · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Doesn't anyone read the constitution anymore? Animal Farm here we come.

  14. Re:Whew... So there is hope for a cure? on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    A companies purpose is to make profit. You can't change the rules in the middle of the game. Declare victory on some arbitrary guidelines to be defined at a later date.

  15. Re:Whew... So there is hope for a cure? on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    I boil down to only this: Amtrak is a company. It should survive or fail without help from the government. I didn't say anything about the countries entire train system.

  16. Re:Whew... So there is hope for a cure? on Researchers Find a 'Liberal Gene' · · Score: 1

    Hmm, if only there were a way to be able to judge a company by it's balance sheet. Oooh, I know, let's not subsidize the tickets, or the company. The company is forced to either lower it's expenses or raise ticket prices in order to survive. We can then judge the benefit to the people's lives by how willing they are to pay for the service. I think that's a great idea, oh wait that is free market capitalism. We can't have that, it works every time it's tried (including companies going bankrupt). Instead we have to judge on our feelings and service to the community, that is liberalism and it fails every time it is tried. People keep trying it thought because they think they just haven't found the right liberals yet that will make the flawed system work. (I.E. Obama statement, "We are the people we have been waiting for.")

  17. Re:I abstain on Voting Machines Selecting Default Candidates · · Score: 5, Informative

    I am an election judge, I would be happy to provide the number of spoiled ballots. In my last election, there were 3. They were the results of either stray marks where the voter rested their pen in a box before checking a different box, and the machine wasn't sure which they meant, so they got a new ballot. The other case was where there were multiple candidates for 1 race (more than 2 candidates) and the voter chose more than one. If you would like I will post again next week with the spoiled ballot count for this election. We have to keep track of every single ballot, so knowing the number of spoiled ballots is trivial.

  18. back in time on The Time Travel Paradoxes of Back To the Future · · Score: 1

    Is it weird that after i RTFA and hit the back button it brings up slashdot from last week?

  19. Laws of physics on Humans Will Need Two Earths By 2030 · · Score: 1

    Matter can neither be created nor destroyed. The minerals still exist it's called recycling.

  20. Re:It was only a matter of time. on Obama Wants Broader Internet Wiretap Authority · · Score: 1

    Don't replace "Obama" with "Bush", this is all Obama, all the time. Bush has nothing to do with this. This is your hope and change baby. Lap it up.

  21. Re:CHANGE!! on Obama Wants Broader Internet Wiretap Authority · · Score: 2, Funny

    Only if you testify in character.

  22. been waiting for this on Obama Wants Broader Internet Wiretap Authority · · Score: 0, Troll

    You Bush bashers now turn around and defend Obama for doing worse things than Bush ever did. Gotta love hypocrisy. I'll just sit back with my popcorn and enjoy this thread. /munch munch munch

  23. Re:Why? on Stewart and Colbert Plan Competing D.C. Rallies · · Score: 1

    Because fox is actually balanced. Go ahead and tell us the Juan Williams, Mara Liasson and Allen Combs are conservatives. You don't find conservatives on the other channels. Just the Arlen Spectre, Olympia Snow crowd.

  24. meh on Turning Your Home Wiring Into a Giant Antenna · · Score: 1

    I have tried internet over power lines and it never worked for me.

  25. truth is more interesting than reality?!? on Haystack and the Myth of the Boy Wizard · · Score: 0, Redundant

    Is it just me or is that confusing? I would think truth would be a subset of reality.
