    You moron, their country is not 50% solar.

    How does this ignorant shit get modded insightful?

    I was just thinking about that, but I couldn't remember who created or much about it all really. Because it sucked.

    Oh, and as for women of course nobody has ever heard of Heart, Joan Jett, Lita Ford, or bands nowadays such as Halestorm. No, women are never in mainstream rock.

    You're an idiot. Typical moron looking for bigotry where it doesn't exist. You probably believe that those poor women and blacks need your powerful support to get anywhere. Talk about a bigot...

    Sevendust got a lot of radio play where I am, and let to my being a fan.

    Kings X? Killswitch Engage? Living Colour? Lenny Kravitz? Some guy named Hendrix might have had a little influence on rock.

    You have selective memory.

  5. Re:Bitcoin stopped being distributed a long time a on Bitcoin Security Endangered By Powerful Mining Pool · · Score: 1

    Finding the bitcoin might be easy, but managing power loads, working deals with local utilities or other involved parties, and managing the actual sales of the bitcoin (because unless you can turn a bitcoin into actual cash, the value of a bitcoin is ZERO) is whole lot more work than plugging in a board.

  6. Re:It's just human nature... on Bitcoin Security Endangered By Powerful Mining Pool · · Score: 1

    That's quite likely. But don't blame capitalism for the propensity of some people to use the power of the state for their own ends. Socialism and communism seem to fall prey to the same human weaknesses.

    Many are. I personally wouldn't care who came to the US if it was a dog eat dog economy. Let everyone come. But that's not where we are, so immigration control it is.

    Actually I'm quite proud of my MN state government who recently went through and culled a lot of old laws. We need more of that. Programmers go back and optimize all the time, the law is just as complex, and the whole thing needs to be reviewed from time to time to ensure it works as expected.

    My ancestors came over to the US as 16 and 19-year-old brothers with nothing but the clothes on their backs and a wish to own their own farm.

    Did your ancestors get food stamps and section 8 housing?

    A welfare state cannot exist with open borders. It will be consumed.

    And Democrats are for importing cheap unskilled labor because we need to provide opportunity to those poor impoverished Mexicans and South Americans, but are against offshoring to China and India because they TOOK OUR JOBS!

    Both sides are wrong on that one.

  15. Re:Hey dumbass on House Majority Leader Defeated In Primary · · Score: 1

    A libertarian who is against open borders is a hypocrite who believes that free market (for labor only - not for goods) stops at those borders.

    False. A libertarian can be against open borders when the welfare state will provide food, clothing, shelter, medical care, and education for anybody who comes to this country whether they work for it or not.

    Dismantle the welfare state, and most libertarian would support open borders. Having both is unsustainable.

    You're joking right? The timid discussion of decriminalization of drugs by Democrats is barely noticeable over shrill cry to ban black military style rifles every time someone is killed with a handgun.

    The difference was that 150 years ago, we were largely argrarian and if you didn't work you starved to death. Now we have food stamps, welfare, section 8 housing, Medicaid and every other form of welfare available. If you want to advocate removing all forms of welfare and totally opening the borders, we have something to discuss. Until then, it's a different environment.

  19. Re:Selection on Physical Media: Down, But Maybe Not Out · · Score: 1

    Which sadly is exactly what Hollywood wants. They want you to forget that a movie has already been made 5 times, so they can "reboot" it again with the latest Hollywood stars and new gimmicks like 3D. That way you'll pay for it all over again in the theater.

    I just went up to Pandora and looked for one of my favorite local artists who is increasing in popularity.

    Zero songs.

    Until streaming has everything and nothing ever goes away, owning is better than not owning.

    Ignore the buffoon you're arguing with. I thought the same as you as I perused the link. The bumbling idiot who wrote that claptrap blames everything that has happened under Obama on the other side, as if somehow Obama has no say in what happens in his administration. Partisan claptrap indeed.

  25. Re:Repetitive (broken) OS abandonment on The Coming IT Nightmare of Unpatchable Systems · · Score: 1

    Are you claiming that there was an advertised feature in OSX 10.7 that claimed to so support multiple UDP broadcast clients simultaneously? At the risk of sounding like a jerk it sounds to me more like you bought a product that did not suit your needs, based on not evaluating it prior to purchase.

    Computers and the software that run on them are complicated devices. Considering how cheap they are relative to their capabilities, unless there's a specific function that a computer claims to do but does not, I can't really expect a company to support a product for free forever. Technically speaking a computer should be able to do ANYTHING you tell it to, but I'm not about to slam Atari for their 800 not being internet capable and demand a patch.
