  1. Re:Better than "Fucking Bad" I guess on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 2, Funny

    At first I thought they were complaining about the airline service of "Beijing Air". I could picture a bunch of snobby suits ordering martinis and yelling "WHERE'S THE FUCKING OLIVE!? This is so going to hit the news."

  2. Aha! on Immaculate Conception In a Boa Constrictor · · Score: 1

    Yet more proof of creationism. Just look at the word parthenogenesis. It's got the word genesis right in it!

  3. Re:How do you know? How do you decide? on Annual US Intelligence Bill Tops $80 Billion · · Score: 1

    Well you can still guess a good reason as to why no attack has occurred. One is that extremist organizations are more interested in gaining power in their own country (which the Taliban already accomplished). We showed that attacking us pretty much fucks that up, which is on of the reasons why terrorists in Iraq commit much more domestic attacks than attacks against the occupants there. It's pretty damn easy to get people in this country (as illegal immigration has shown), and you can send 1 man with 1 mission that requires no communication what-so-ever. Just get one pissed off dude to mix diesel and fertilizer and blow it up near any populated area (no shortage of those). And think of people acting without an organization. How many people in the US hate terrorists? Now how many of them are willing to go ALONE to fight them?

  4. Already an open source alternative to windows on Indian Military Organization To Develop Its Own OS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    It's called reactOS. It's basically windows (it's NT architecture based), but free. Quite frankly, I don't know why Linux has gotten so much attention in comparison to reactOS. The thing is, it's still a under-funded garage-project. If you could get 50 Indians and a good budget to help them out, I'm pretty sure that it would be better than starting from scratch.

    Here's the link if you're interested:

  6. Re:In other news on 'The Laws Are Written By Lobbyists,' Says Google's Schmidt · · Score: 1

    You're doing it wrong. If someone says "no shit Sherlock", you reply "keep digging Watson". So the correct way to say it is: "in other news, Watson keeps digging".

  7. Re:Ah yes, Wertham on Library of Congress Opens Records of Anti-Comic Book Shrink · · Score: 2, Insightful

    But you have to look at what comic book writers were trying to accomplish, and what Dr. Wertham was trying to accomplish. This guy thought he found a correlation between violent media and delinquency. Did it ever occur to him that the naturally violent children will be attracted to the comic books and later become criminals, regardless of what they are subjected to. This man compared leaving the responsibility of controlling media for parents to anarchy. It would be more accurate to compare the restriction of freedoms of all for the sake of protecting few to despotism. Every outlet of entertainment you look at will always create a market for those who are drawn to violence, and quelling it can only make the problem worse in the same way that prohibition made drinking worse. It's fine to create rating for parents to select which media to subject their children to, but eliminating it completely not only takes away the opportunity to do so, but it also makes people neglect teaching their children to use violence appropriately. There's nothing wrong with violence if used moderately in self defense or in the defense of others (one of the reasons my kids will learn discipline from martial arts). I guess some people still think they can create some utopia that operates in the absence of violence, like it hasn't failed countless times in history.

  8. I hope bungie really does lose cash because of thi on Halo Reach Leaked To Filesharing Sites · · Score: 1

    halo 3 was a good game. But then Bungie decided to make the piece of shit game known as ODST. Not only did it suck so bad my friends went out of their way to stop me from getting it, but now they have it so that you can't play certain multiplayer game types without the maps from ODST. That's right, they held their own fucking game that I paid for, hostage to getting the expansion. Now I can only play 2 game types with my brother on social. Me and my brother really enjoyed the beta for reach, but if they pull this shit again I'm never purchasing another Bungie game ever (my brother's friends have already decided to do that).

  9. or here's a thought on Is a US High-Speed Railway Economically Feasible? · · Score: 1

    why don't we get rid of the corrupt-ass zoning laws that make it so that a car is needed? They escalate the price of building massively (in some areas you need more than 40k before you lay a brick on your own property) and they prevent small businesses from starting up. It's very rare for someone to live 5-10 minutes from just about everything you need, and the average person has to commute to work at least 30 minutes (I think that's the figure). The problem is that large oil/car companies own the government, and the most basic of solutions for a economic crisis are ignored so that the wealthy get wealthier.

  14. Re:Open access in school's doesn't work on Schools, Filtering Companies Blocking Google SSL · · Score: 1

    I don't mean to nit-pick, but I was a high school student, and quite frankly an internet filter was just a plain pain in the ass. Granted I was one of the self-motivated students while a lot of my classmates wasted time, but the filters just didn't do their jobs. What I recommend you try is a software that alerts the respective account with administrative positions of which student is accessing what on the internet. That way, the kids can be punished to prevent them from doddering about when they are not supposed to, while allowing them to access whatever when they need to access it. Yes even games. You had to do something towards the end of the year when the AP exams were over (I went home when they were ALL over, but when only some were over I had to go to school for only a few subjects). One of the things that my AP comp-sci teacher did was, he only allowed his kids to play what they program. Sometimes, he even hosted his own quake or CS server to the students that finish early that day if the test results were good. LMK what you think.

    When I saw the headline I couldn't help but laugh. I can just picture some fat-asses from the MAFIAA riding around in their limousines and rolling down their windows in poverty-stricken neighborhoods and preaching about how they need to saddle up on these new laws. Then some local would just say "sure, right after I decide which of my 12 children don't starve to death you imperialistic fuck."

    I had a funny idea the second I read this article. Just put pictures of big-titted hitch-hikers on the side of the road. I guarantee you, people will slow down. As for women, we all know they should sit in the passengers seat (just kidding).

  18. Re:court intelligence on Canada's Top Court Quashes Child Porn Warrant · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Um, what was that "evidence" again? Oh yea a camera pointed to his fully clothed three year old daughter with her toys. The technician said he found 2 suspicious links (amongst the plethora of porn he had in his bookmarks). What I'm thinking is that the defendant liked petite LEGAL girls(i.e. he probably had a link that said "tiny teens" in his long list of fetishes). It's not untypical for someone to stumble on illegal porn when searching for legal porn. Sorry but this case was bullshit, and I commemorate the judge and jury on their competent choice.

    God: medamnit, why didn't they get this to me sooner, I just finished breathing life into this guy. Now what am I supposed to do with poor Adamus?
    Secretary: well, our lawyers did some digging and found that the name infringes on some obscure company that caught wind of the project and are already demanding royalties. That, and the EPA is starting to regulate arsenic more vigorously.

    Well it's a little more credible than the study. According to the scientists in this investigation, the bullies tend to be inbred or borderline retarded students that feel insecure about their low intelligence (which is incidentally correlated with having a small penis), and with such a lack of resolve, they will resort to using irrational violence against those who are smart. The scientists also note that 95% of these bullies go on to become flagrant homosexuals, the majority of them, in denial.

  23. Re:Or just be on the NO FLY LIST on Police In Britain Arrest Man For Bomb-Threat Joke On Twitter · · Score: 4, Insightful

    He doesn't deserve to get anything. A quote from the article: "On 13 January, after apparently receiving a tip-off from a member of the public, police arrived at Mr Chambers' office...I had to explain Twitter to them in its entirety because they'd never heard of it." So now there's a new recipe to be an asshole. Find any piece of written evidence of someone you hate that they "intend" to do ANYTHING harmful, and mail it to the police. Then anonymously report it and watch the police go ape-shit.

    If only I read followup headline that said 'wikipedia tell UK to blow it out their ass,' today would end as a good day. Then wikipedia gets removed from the UK and pissed-off protesters would show the government that they are sick of trading in protection for their freedoms. It would then be followed by a spectacular event of pink clouds precipitating candy and rainbows that we can use as space elevators. Finally, all UK politicians would simultaneously get a hearts attack, become resuscitated, then get another heart attack.

    Even though exoplanets could provide useful knowledge, the search for dark matter is just as fruitless as trying to prove that aether exists (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Luminiferous_aether#End_of_aether.3F).
