    All the guys here have girlfriends with the last name of JPEG.

    My girlfriend's last name is .GIF, you insensitive clod!

    This is a case of trying to shut the stable door after the Federal Government already ass-fucked the horse, gave it syphilis and is now in the process of strangling it (i.e. "No Child Allowed Ahead"). :p

    Where " trouble-makers" is the set of people trying to use truck bombs, car bombs, and suicide vests, plus various experiments with poison gas and plague, to kill masses of innocent people, yes.

    Sure, because there's so much to gain tactically and strategically for someone to engage in such behavior. :p

    Seriously, Fjord; you need to change your username (and your strawman; he's looking a trifle piqued); as I repeatedly told you, you've been outed.

    Oh, and think about telling Uncle Sam that you want Sundays off. :p

  4. Re:No need for cameras. on EU Proposes To Fit Cars With Speed Limiters · · Score: 1

    So sure, your car can safely handle a lot faster than the posted speed limit, it's still breaking the law.

    It was a subtle joke, Aspie. Besides, I never indicated where those speeds were reached. :)

    Do you *really* trust everyone around you to drive at 130 (whatevers) in the rain?

    Whoosh (pun not intended).

  6. Re:No need for cameras. on EU Proposes To Fit Cars With Speed Limiters · · Score: 1, Funny

    In France, a lot of highways have a speed limit of 130 (in modern units) and 110 when it is raining

    110 max in the rain strikes me as unfairly conservative; my '91 200Q with Falken FK452's (225/40R18) had no problem doing 130+ in heavy rain with no hydroplaning issues whatsoever... wait, were you talking KPH?!

  7. Re:They're not trolls on Taking the Battle Against Patent Trolls To the Public · · Score: 1

    but to sue someone big/important you need >$100K for lawyer fees.

    And to litigate successfully, you need a hundred times as much (if not more). Ask Aureal.

    At least I think I recall that in MechWarrior Mercenaries.

    Anyway, until some camel-jockey with a fertiizer bomb smuggled up his ass becomes a bigger threat to the free world than the Fascist-Elite NWO fucks you've willing sold-out to, your bullshit point remains a bullshit point.

    You've been repeatedly outed as a government shill; leave, change your username and try again. Seriously.

  11. What enemy, you ask? on UK High Court Gives OK To Investigation of Data Siezed From David Miranda · · Score: 1

    the police will now be allowed to examine the material to investigate whether a crime of 'communication of material to an enemy'

    What enemy, you ask? Well, that would (generally) be the citizens and the alternative and independent media that hasn't been compromised or taken over.

    The good? At least things are becoming clear; those who've had their heads buried in the sand for decades are starting to clue in that Fascism is, indeed, alive and well (and who its representatives might even be).

    The bad? I'm afraid the only reason Evil is beginning to become confident enough to display its true colors (ahem, coloUrs) in such brazen fashion is due to the fact that it considers itself near its end game in its battle against you (yes, you) and the End (of anything remotely resembling life as you've known it) is Well Fucking Nigh(tm).

    But go on and keep believing that this is nothing more than an incompetent and mindless beauracracy exhibiting a sense of self-preservation. "There's no agenda here, folks. Move on."

    Pay no attention to the man behind the curtain.

    Why don't all these brilliant analysts go make billions if they are so smart?

    You don't have to be a successful automotive engineer or car designer to take one look at the X-90 and see that someone somewhere, in more ways than one, fucked-up monumentally.

    There's your car analogy, for simplicity's sake. ;)

    Since then, we haven't done much of anything except squabble and fight and sue. One might also notice a correlation in the diminishing of funding for education and research to our newfound stunning lack of achievement.

    Yeah but the ultra-wealthy can enjoy thousand-horsepower all-wheel-drive supercars and cheap replacement organs from healthy, grass-fed South American kids...

    Also to clarify, most of the work is performed at 5,000msn (16,000 ft over sea level)

    It should also be pointed out that the threshold for long-term sustainable habitation (where your body doesn't begin to slowly waste away from oxygen-deprivation, resulting in eventual fucking death) is around 15,000' above sea level.
