    . If you're complaining about birds dying then why don't you and your 11 kids disconnect from the grid and go live in a forest somewhere.

    Where they'll likely... eat birds. Better rethink your suggestion. ;)

    The taxi laws are not in place to protect the taxi companies, they are in place to protect the customers

    Wishful, naive thinking. The fact that NYC taxi medallions reached a high of $1.1 million each is clear proof that taxi companies captured the regulatory authorities decades ago (to the obvious detriment of both customers and customers).

    Turn down your brightness, perhaps?

    Wow, that completely misses the point of e-readers.

    That certainly settles it, then; clearly no one would want a larger one. Ever.

    printed in 1 point font with water soluble ink on recycled toilet paper.

    Better yet, the layout should utilize Monty Python's large print bible - one letter per page.

    For over two centuries we have been unsteadily moving towards our ideals

    Your examples notwithstanding, for over a hundred and fifty years, we've been moving away from our ideals - as Jefferson predicted we would.

  7. I lack any kind of formal "shill training" so this is pure conjecture... but aren't you supposed to be capable of being a little less obvious about it?

  8. I agree, people are stupid.

    At least you're aware of your limitations.

    You can fuck off, too... fucking shill.

  12. Re: Thrill on Why Buses Need To Be More Dangerous · · Score: 1

    I seem to recall that transit buses in Boulder (maybe Denver, too) have a flashing yellow light they turn on when drivers are required to stop and wait...

  13. Re: What, Didn't get Obama involved? on Emails Show NSA Rejected Hillary Clinton's Request For Secure Smartphone (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    For some reason, it seems to require an abnormally-high IQ to see the obviousness of this (either that or nearly everyone else is even dumber than previously suspected... and that's saying something).

  14. Hillary's ass is so big, she can literally one shot him.

    OMG, almost pissed myself.

    Bitch, get your own fucking phone.

    Alright, probably not but I can pretend...

    Linux is just unusable to the average IT person.

    Aircraft suck: they'reentirely unusable to the average driver.

  17. Funny you should mention that. Watching YouTube bids of their "Big Dog" really gave me the creeps; I'd be more inclined to try to nail one with L.A.W. rocket than simply push it over...

    I would *pay* for a prison tour where we got to stare at the animals in cages.

    Yeah? Maybe if you throw 'em a pack of smokes, one of 'em would be willing to stick his pecker through the bars for you. Fucking loser.

  19. Re: NUCs are getting bigger... on Intel Teases Skull Canyon Gaming NUC: Core i7, Iris Pro Graphics, Thunderbolt 3 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    Bad analogy: the size of a computer is largely orthogonal to what you use it for; that, however, isn't the case for the things you're comparing to...

  20. Youre completely missing the point.

  21. Wow, so basically you're saying this is competitive with a cheap, used PC from several years ago. When can I get one??

  22. I was thinking the same thing; I suppose Intel has their process tech refined to the point where they can crank out a lot of instructions/sec at at mere 45w power draw but Intel graphics? In a so-called gaming machine? Get the fuck out out of here.
