  1. Re: paying to watch our rights being shredded on European Governments Approve Controversial New Copyright Law (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm beginning to doubt all the propaganda we were taught in "history"

    I'll feed the troll: lies are "assembled" using bits of truth.

    In any case, the virtual non-existence of actually Semitic Jews (i. e. Sephardic Jews) should be a good indicator that the Holocaust was a real thing, despite the obvious shadiness of those pushing the narrative the hardest.

    You're giving IBM's upper management far more credit than they deserve; when I think of Armonk, I think of Mike the Headless Chicken.

    Pray tell, how does the material of the building affect the build-quality of the vehicles assembled within? That's correct; given that we're not talking about a chip fab, it doesn't.Anything else stupid that you'd care to share??

    It's by design; the not-so-subtle horseshit they're constantly spewing makes it quite clear that they're under establishment control.

    The US has squandered its credibility.

    Huh? We pissed that away before GW'd barely begun. Anyway, to paraphrase Mao, "credibility" comes from the point of a gun.

    Since it hasn't happened yet, the correct phrase would be "I think not."

    Causality confuses some.

  7. Aluminium and Steel from Canada? National Security Risk.

    Know one of the reasons why we won WWII? Manufacturing capacity.

    You were saying?

    I just air-gap my Windows boxes: double-ought works okay but nothing leaves nice gaps like slugs.

  9. Anything conservatives want to do -- if you do the exact opposite you are almost always close to a decision that is consistent with good government if not outright necessary for it.

    And... you're fifty percent correct, give or take.

    Still, I try to cross Kansas at night so that I don't have to actually see it.

    The only thing it has going for it is that it aint Oklahoma.

    Good Christ, ain't that the fucking truth.

    Well, call me ignorant and smack me in the fucking head; obviously I didn't read through the article that my own dumb ass linked.

    It just goes to show how useless echo chambers are for accuracy.

    Sadly, the Internet - when it comes to certain subjects - can be the biggest and worst echo chamber...

    ...theM. :/

  14. FYI, as I replied to the AC, I wasn't referring to driving style; older drivers are clearly calmer and more attentive... and thus statistically safer. That does not make they more skilled.

  15. Period. End of story

    Virtually everything can be distilled down to an oversimplification if you ask a numbers person... but you don't get what the fuck I'm talking about: Sure, older people are statistically safer drivers; after all, they're generally calmer (age) and more attentive (experience). Fuck's sake, that's obvious.

    I didn't say anything about driving style; I was talking about skills.

    Yes, there's a difference.

  16. Your conclusion is based on unsystematic, anecdotal information.

    More of an observation than a conclusion: I put 40 to 50 thousand [city!] miles on the odometer anually; I therefore get the opportunity to observe more of my fellow drivers than virtually anyone else.

    In a nutshell, I've found that the vast majority of older drivers are still making the same mistakes younger drivers do. Hence said conclusion.

    Perhaps the essence of what I was attempting to convey was simpler than you realized.

  17. NVIDIA needs to get real here.

    Couldn't agree more.

    The Donovan song is about an intimate massage device.

    Unless his song refers to sticking a banana up his ass, I have no idea what you're talking about.

    ...textbooks are not obsolete

    They certainly fucking aren't; Dear Beloved Bill, on the other hand, is either suffering from accelerated senility or is merely continueing the subtle eugenicist fuckery of his ilk.

    Perhaps n ot quite. The drug was apparently called and works well enough that there's a shitty song named after it

    What I seem to recall is that you need hundreds of pounds of banana peel scrapings to produce a small quantity of the stuff...

  22. I doubt there's much "thinking" going on but we might be have different ideas of the meaning of the word. ;)

  24. You would think that older, more-experienced drivers are better drivers bit from what I've seen, most experienced drivers simply drive as badly as they did when they weren't experienced.

    My conclusion: most young idiots develop into older idiots.
