  1. Re:Mobile bandwidth on The UK's 5-Minute 4G Data Cap · · Score: 1

    You're right, 640k should be enough for anybody.

  2. Re:Mobile bandwidth on The UK's 5-Minute 4G Data Cap · · Score: 1

    Considering I have unlimited 4G service here in the states, I'd say pretty well.

  3. Re:zimmerman is innocent on Judge Rules Defense Can Use Trayvon Martin Tweets · · Score: 1

    Perhaps you could explain how Martin ended up on Zimmerman's chest, pounding his head into the sidewalk?

  4. Re:Romney too. on Bill Nye 'the Science Guy' Urges Letters To Obama To Restore NASA Budget Cuts · · Score: 1

    With Barack Obama. Bush never signed a trillion dollar deficit. Nancy Pelosi is the only speaker to ever pass a budget with a trillion dollar deficit. The last Republican budget passed into law had had about 165 billion in deficits.

  5. The short wheelbase looks funny on A (Mostly) 3-D Printed Race Car Hits 140 Km/h · · Score: 2

    Anyone know why this design decision was made? Is it because the area in front of the console is the only place tall enough to place shocks and springs, while still having room for the drivers legs?

  6. Re:Diversity on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    What are you, some kind of racist sexist pig?

  7. Re:As a Wisconsinite on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    How does John Kerry and Al Gore fit into that mix? As a Wisconsinite did you ever vote for Herb Kohl? Although he is self made, give him props for that.

  8. Re:Be serious on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 1

    It's not far right, it's liberal, economically speaking that is. Apparently you dont know. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Economic_liberalism

  9. Re:They Never Even Said Those Things on Heartland Institute Learning To Troll On Billboards · · Score: 1

    The longer "deniers" get labeled deniers, the stronger their arguments and position becomes. A hundred years from now, deniers will either be proven correct, or if we are to believe what we are told, we will be extinct.

  10. They are failing for a reason. on Best Buy CEO Brian Dunn Resigns After $1.7 Billion Loss · · Score: 1

    Best Buy may not be Shangri La, but in many rural and semi-rural parts of the U.S., it's the nearest and best place to actually find a wide selection of electronics.

    I live in semi-rural Wisconsin, and the closest Best Buy is 40 minutes away. It has literally been years since I last set foot in a Big Box store. Best Buy has never been the best place to buy electronics. Stop acting like Best buy is doing some sort favor to flyover country, and the curious people that inhabit it. The Internet is and always will be the best place to buy electronics.

  11. Re:Hope and change on Waterboarding Whistleblower Indicted Under Espionage Act · · Score: 1

    No actually Richard Armitage at the State Department outed Valerie Plame. Scooter Libby confirmed it in passing to a journalist. Bush/Cheney had nothing to do with it. The crime was so severe the original leaker was never charged.

  12. Best law ever!! on Arizona Attempts To Make Trolling Illegal · · Score: 2

    This would completely stop DMCA takedown notices in their tracks, as their intent is to clearly harass, threaten and intimidate. It would require the MPAA to write notices longhand, or on a electro-mechanical typewriter and snail-mail them to the supposed copyright violators.

  13. What is free about them? on Polish Government To Deliver Free Textbooks For All Kids Grades 4-6 · · Score: 1

    Certainly someone has to pay for them, right?

  14. Re:Loophole on NSA Chief Denies Claims of Domestic Spying · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Remember when there was still an evil republican in the white house, and people still acted like they gave a shit?

  15. Re:Spending, not solutions on LAPD Surveillance Cameras Go Unused · · Score: 2

    Companies didn't take other people's money at gunpoint. And when they foolishly spend other people's money that other people gave to them voluntarily, they go under like they're supposed to, making room for other companies that aren't so foolish. At least that's how it used to work. Now risk is rapidly being removed from the market, profits are privatized, and losses are public. Welcome to fascism (economic variety).

  16. Re:Why don't U.S. carriers also use ski-jump? on Satellite Spots China's First Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    Well, at least Hope Class carriers will be unsinkable, because hope floats.

  17. Re:It does if you kill them for it on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    Violent offenders who are sentenced to life terms, often commit further violent crimes while in prison. So there.

  18. Re:We could learn a thing or two.... on Canada First Nation To Pull Out of Kyoto Accord · · Score: 2

    The earth doesn't care about output per capita. It only cares about the total amount of CO2 released. On the other hand, if you are constantly trying to portray more developed nations in a negative light, then yes, output per capita is the way to go.

  19. Re:This is being whitewashed from the white house on LightSquared Disrupts 75% of GPS Connections In Government Test · · Score: 1

    Eric Holder's career should have been finished after the Mark Rich fiasco.

  20. A more accurate title might be... on Virginia May Help People Pay For Space Burials · · Score: 2

    The people of Virginia may be forced to waste their money on a stupid pork project.

  21. One of these... on Microturbines Power, Cool Servers Simultaneously · · Score: 2

    Turbines can do a lot of work. They can produce power and compressed air simultaneously. Would be interesting if that compressed air supply was run through one of these. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vortex_tube We have a small one in the shop, a very simple device. Connecting it to our shop air, at 125psi, creates air at one end that will make your fingers go numb, and the other end outputs heat at about hair drier temperatures. The tube is about 6 inches long and 1 inch in diameter.

  22. Interesting that... on The $443 Million Smallpox Vaccine That Nobody Needs · · Score: 1

    Ron Perelman's history of political donation was left out of the summary, and that it has not been mentioned yet.

  23. Net Nuetrality Laws? on Senate Set To Vote On the Repeal of Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    There are no net neutrality laws in place. Calling it a law implies that it was passed by the legislature, and signed by the executive. Net neutrality "laws" are nothing more than a decree issued by a federal agency that has too much power.

  24. Re:5 Step Program on DOJ Drops FOIA Rule To Permit Lying · · Score: 1

    And it's still grossly mismanged, casualties are higher than they ever have been, with nothing to show for it, and instead of burning through our money in Iraq, he's burning through our money at 8 times the rate, bailing out fincial institutions, failing green companies, failing mortgage GSE's, and interest payments to China. Eliminate profits and socialize losses, it's the Obama way.
