  1. The SECOND phone call.... on The First Phone Call Was 133 Years Ago · · Score: 1

    Was asking Watson if he wanted to change his long distance carrier....

  2. Re:Like where else were they going to collide? on Nuclear Subs 'Collide In Ocean' · · Score: 1

    Was this perhaps one of those Royal Navy subs that the Brits recently retrofitted to run Microsoft Windows? Just wondering. Maybe the sonar station BSOD'd.

  3. Re:as long as they archive it, there's no problem on Obama Staffers Followed Palin's Email Lead On Inauguration Day · · Score: 1

    Palin constantly unfairly smeared here. Remeber David Kernal (sp?) the UT student who got charged with hacking into her account, with the expressed purpose of finding proof of her having used her private account for official business? He sadly stated that he couldn't find any incriminating "secret" business that anyone would care about. He just found some family photos, everyday chit-chat and a few dicussions of moving around some things on her schedule. No plans to give special business favors to any company. No secret plans to build a Republican secret lair in a hollowed out volcano. Of course, now that I think of it, maybe those family photos contained secret microdots that included plans for the secret fleet of orbiting mind-control satellites built by Halliburton. Hmmmmm.

  4. Re:The constitution doesn't apply to non-citizens on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 1

    Um, no... Look at (or sing) the the Preamble... We the People of the United States, in Order to form a more perfect Union, establish Justice, insure domestic Tranquility, provide for the common defence, promote the general Welfare, and secure the Blessings of Liberty to ourselves and our Posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America. Nothing at all in there about anywhere or anyone else.

  5. Re:Like it matters on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 1

    Since When has the ACLU started actually caring about the Constitution? For all practical purposes, they basically pretend certain sections of it don't even exist (2nd and 10th Amendments especially).

  6. Re:Once in a universe? on Mars Had an Ancient Impact Like Earth · · Score: 3, Funny

    Mars did have a large moon once like Earth. It was destroyed with the Illudium Q36 Explosive Space Modulator. It obstructed their view of Venus :)

  7. Re:Bad project name on NASA Plans Probe to the Sun · · Score: 2, Interesting

    "Icarus" was the name of the spacecraft sent to kick start the sun with a massive nuclear device in the 2007 film "Sunshine" (EXCELLENT movie INHO). At the risk of spoilers, let's just say that all kinds of things go wrong :)

  8. Re:I love the tolerance on Boy Scouts Ask Open Source Community For Help · · Score: 1

    There is a huge difference between "hate/bigotry" and disagreeing with someones lifestyle choices. If I set up a club, and set membership conditions that reflect the core beliefs of the club, does that qualify as hate/bigotry? Would I allow Steve Ballmer membership in my Linux Users group? Would George Bush be welcomed in a meeting of the Democratic National Committee? Clubs/organizations are exclusionary by nature. They are groupings of people who are like minded about a certain issue. So join them if you wish or don't join them. But don't call them biggots.

  9. Re:Biased? on How Tech-Savvy Will the Next President Be? · · Score: 1

    FYI: McCain has stated that he would like to have Steve Ballmer as some sort of "Technology Czar" or even put him in his cabinet. That shows quite an alarming LACK of tech saviiness if you ask me. That's about as intelligent as appointing the CEO of a tobacco company as surgeon general.
