    Fuck ASCAP and everything they represent.

    How about use it as a burial device.

    I suppose if you pointed it at the ground... :p

    if you need Astronaut Paste.

    I'd suggest the Johnson Smither catalog...

  5. Re:Hmmm ... on "Slingatron" To Hurl Payloads Into Orbit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Might be sure your payload doesn't get any sudden G-forces it's not built for

    Can't be any worse than UPS. :p

  6. Re:Wonder if it can be weaponized. on "Slingatron" To Hurl Payloads Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    "Intercontinental Ballistic Artillery." Sounds kinda retro.

  7. Note to geeks: on Australian Government Releases Report Into IT Price Fixing · · Score: 2

    are frequently shafted in an uncomfortable manner

    A little foreplay goes a long way... ;)

  8. Re:Their loss on Several Western Govts. Ban Lenovo Equipment From Sensitive Networks · · Score: 1

    and a bit of racism

    Confucius say never be [so fucking stupid] that you attribute to racism that which can be blamed on simple geopolitics. ;)

  9. Re:Fortunately... on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    Why is that fortunate?

    /sarc ;)

  10. Re:nature and consumers on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    Also, jeez, you sound like a conspiracy theorist.

    Stop saying that like it's a bad thing. To those who've been in a position to actually learn a few things, it makes you sound like a brainwashed idiot.

  11. Re:Symptom of monocropping on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    How dare you come on here spouting common sense! :p

  12. Fortunately... on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    Not clear if consumers will go for it though.

    Fortunately most of them will never know. :p

  13. Re:Shortsighted techie ... on Google Engineer Wins NSA Award, Then Says NSA Should Be Abolished · · Score: 1

    ...which in turn allowed Pear Harbour to happen.

    Utter bullshit. It's well understood in the intelligence community and among historians that elements in DC (including Roosevelt) knew all about the impending attack and allowed it to occur for political reasons.

    You really ought to refrain from commenting on subjects you clearly know nothing about.

  14. Re:Here's the reason... on Tim Cook May Not Know Why, But Samsung Is Winning in China · · Score: 1

    I appreciate that the action was UN-flagged but the majority of forces were US.

    Pretty sure they were Chinese... :p

  15. Re:I still see a market .... on In Canada, a 3D-Printed Rifle Breaks On First Firing · · Score: 1

    Here in the United States home made firearms are mostly legal as long as you don't sell them. Mainly because it's too hard to regulate

    That is certainly not why they're legal.

  16. Re:Walk before you run on Indian Army Mistook Planets For Spy Drones · · Score: 1

    Are all of you so goddamn ignorant of other countries / cultures?

    Nope, only most of us.

    Unless I'm mistaken, psychopaths are psychotic sociopaths.

  18. Re:Smart move on After a User Dies, Apple Warns Against Counterfeit Chargers · · Score: 2, Funny

    What's wrong with the standard USB adapter like everyone else? Oh aside from them making a cock load of money...

    What's wrong with the standard butt load or ass load like everyone else uses? Butts and asses generally hold larger loads than do cocks, thus serving as more effective terms for expressing the concept of an impressively large unit of volume (unless you were specifically referring to the cocks of large marine mammals?).

  19. On the other hand, what are the alternatives?

    Pebble-bed and thorium salt designs would be a good start. The nuclear "pros vs cons" argument has become far too polarized, with both so-called "sides" generally possessing flawed notions and failures to see big picture:

    Inconvenient fact: Industry [run by MBA's] has repeatedly proven that it can't be trusted to safely maintain conventional reactor designs, and government (controlled by industry via regulatory-capture) has proven that it can't be trusted to regulate industry.

    Inconvenient fact: We've done far more to upset the balance of nature by damming-up vast watersheds (for hydroelectic usage) than we ever have by being sloppy with our atomics and scattering isotopes to the breezes.

  20. The amount of actual damage from Fukushima is pretty small.

    According the the government and mainstream media, however there's more than enough evidence that suggests they're completely full of shit.

    You keep on sucking down those blue pills, though. We know; they're comforting. :)

  21. Re:How would you know on Psychopathic Criminals Have "Empathy Switch" · · Score: 1

    They simply won't accept that some people are born evil and need to be locked up for life or executed for the safety of the public.

    That's hardly the majority of those incarcerated, however. In fact, the kind of person you're talking about is the dominant lifeform in charge of the very system that we're supposed to be able to rely on to deal with them! How effective...

  22. Re:With the right training, huh? on Psychopathic Criminals Have "Empathy Switch" · · Score: 3, Funny

    How about we hold their eyes open and force them to watch horrific, violent videos, preferably multiple at a time.

    I doubt that would've caused them to vote differently yesterday...

  23. Re:War not over yet on NSA Still Funded To Spy On US Phone Records · · Score: 1

    You were right all along.

    You don't know the half of it.

    Ah, Gibson, Sterling and other cyberpunk masters, you were truly prophetic back in your time.

    Hardly; Heinlein predicted this shit in the early 60's.
