  1. Re:"Living Constitution" on Texas Textbooks Battle Is Actually an American War · · Score: 1

    If your mortgage was set up with ambiguity and an amendment process you might just refer to it as such.

  2. Re:No Joke on Subversive Groups Must Now Register In South Carolina · · Score: 1

    I wonder if an organization subject to foreign control would include corporations like Toyota.

  3. Re:So Iran's standards then? on Appeals Court Rules On Internet Obscenity Standards · · Score: 1

    It did no such thing. Northern states were free to allow integration. If you need an example of how very wrong you are look at Oberlin college.

    Nope, those pesky laws of physics.

  5. Re:Wow... on Tritium Leak At Vermont Nuclear Plant Grows · · Score: 1

    Between this and Davis Besse we're facing a pretty uphill fight on public perception of nuclear safety.

  6. Re:Soo.... on Internet Nominated For 2010 Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 1

    We all know the internet would never wear clothing. That would ruin all the porn. Well unless you like CFNM.

  7. Re:finally, on UMG v. Lindor Ends, No Fees, No Sanctions · · Score: 1

    That blow doesn't buy itself.

  8. Re:Let's not rush to judgement... on The Lancet Recants Study Linking Autism To Vaccine · · Score: 1

    I still want to see the first interview or two. Everyone knew the boat was going to sink in Titanic, tons of people still enjoyed watching it unfold.

  9. Re:The debate is long from over. on The Lancet Recants Study Linking Autism To Vaccine · · Score: 1

    No, he seems to be pretty clearly saying that that the other guys stated large number of anecdotal cases aren't proof of a non existent link. The link may still not be there but the other guy isn't offering proof.

  10. Re:Careful There, Schneier on Surveillance Backdoor Enabled Chinese Gmail Attack? · · Score: 1

    They would also be opening themselves up to SEC violations if they were found to be lying. Opening backdoors in one of their programs would be the type of thing that could have a material impact on their stock prices. Lying about things like that is what they popped Martha Stewart on.

  11. Re:I can't wait... on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 1

    The primary benefit of a police helo is that they can keep other units informed of suspect location and upcoming hazards. Removing communications removes most of their utility.

  12. Re:help in police chases? on Electromagnetic Pulse Gun To Help In Police Chases · · Score: 1

    Safety critical systems in cars tend to have direct mechanical connection fallbacks, even if they suck.

  13. Re:Enter the Matrix was OK... on Failed Games That Damaged Or Killed Their Companies · · Score: 1

    The NES batman game was a perfectly good game for its era.

  14. Re:Real or trained response on Air Canada Ordered To Provide Nut-Free Zone · · Score: 1

    I'll have to tell my sister that her codeine allergy that sent her into anaphylactic shock was all in her head. Never mind that she was asleep when it was administered.

  15. Re:Ridiculous law on Full Body Scanners Violate Child Porn Laws · · Score: 1

    Lightning rods aren't to keep the strike from killing you, but to keep you structure from burning.

    Yeah, FISA never happened.

  17. Re:How do you cover an arrow... on Midwest Seeing Red Over 'Green' Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    Snow builds up and covers the entire light. The light that does make it through is diffuse and appears round. If the light is an arrow only though the lighting pattern of the LEDs and not placement I could easily see it being an issue.

  18. Re:Here in Canada on Midwest Seeing Red Over 'Green' Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    We have the same covering in the midwest, but different snow apparently.

  19. Re:whatever happened to being careful? on Midwest Seeing Red Over 'Green' Traffic Lights · · Score: 1

    because the cost of adding them is less than the cost of one stupid customer and one stupid jury. Even if stupid were a pretty low probability state we would likely have those warnings. A near zero cost to add them is outweighed by the more likely room full of stupid people.

  20. Re:Typical cop response on TSA Wants You To Keep Your Seat, and Your Hands In Sight · · Score: 1

    I know I would fly more if instead of pat downs and groping from security goons I got a nice trip to la la land.

  21. Re:How about not allowing direct flight from Niger on TSA Wants You To Keep Your Seat, and Your Hands In Sight · · Score: 1

    Some US airports use that setup. KCI has always been one of the smoothest place to fly from.

  22. Re:Codex Alimentarius, it is in the food... on Microbes That Keep Us Healthy Starting To Die Off · · Score: 1

    The top youtube video is charlie bit my finger again. That finally overtook the evolution of dance which held that title for a long time. Antibiotics are used, but not required. I smell a troll.

  23. Re:Soap vs Santizers on Microbes That Keep Us Healthy Starting To Die Off · · Score: 1

    I was taught to eat it with the wrapper so that you don't risk leaking condiments.

    Cogeners have a stronger impact than metabolites when it comes to hangovers.

  25. Re:Even if cocaine was harmless... on Is Neurostim Becoming a Reality? · · Score: 1

    We really should get around to banning pretty sunsets and nice breezes on summer evenings. Down with those wicked unearned pleasures.
