    Verbal Kint was Verbal Kint, and there was no Keyser Soze. That was just a story Verbal made up to dazzle that cop. By keeping the cop thinking about the story he was telling him, the cop didn't have time to think about other stuff that didn't add up. By the time Verbal was done telling the story, his release came through, and it was time for him to go. As soon as Verbal stopped talking, the cop started thinking, but by the time his thinking started producing results, it was too late, because Verbal was gone. Verbal FTW!

    So, what you are saying here is that if someone wants to express their disdain for someone else's barbaric politics by saying something that properly expresses the depths of thier disdain, they should be fearful of a violent response? Wow, civilization marches on, and thanks for your contribution...

    P. S. Fuck you too.

    Go figure? It's as obvious as the nose on your face: Saddam was exporting oil in contravention of Opec. You don't do that and live. The rest was bullshit pretext, and Bush and his cabinet should all be in prison. But I have a much better idea: repudiate the treaty banning breeder reactors, implement the draft to build them, and in 20 years, we won't need any imported oil. Then we start exporting our technology to oil poor nations so they can have cheap energy too. Badda boom, badda bing: world peace!

  5. Re:We need to frack on Saudi Arabia Implements Electronic Tracking System For Women · · Score: 1

    See, but wait, I agree with everthing you say, except for this one critical point: Once you build a breeder reactor, the nominal cost of the electricity thereby generated is even cheaper than current oil technology. Building those reactors is the key to breaking out of the log jamb you describe. Of course that is why they had to be banned by treaty, and only implemented in France, where, rumor has it, certain monetary interests maintain their gold horde. *takes off foil hat* Anyway, that is why we need to repudiate the treaty and implement the draft for the purpose of covering our nation with breeders.

    Uh yeah, but we don't have to fight poverty in most of the Islamic nations - they have lots of oil money. We do have to fight corruption in those nations, but most, not all, but most of their corruption is bound up in their religion.

  9. Re:Meg, Carly on Meg Whitman Says HP Was Defrauded By Autonomy; HP Stock Plunges · · Score: 1

    Whitman's leveraging of eBay's monopoly position by purchasing Paypal cannot be faulted. What can be faulted to the rafters is her abysmal management of both those companies. But, like Balmer, when you are running a business with no viable competition, it doesn't much matter. Now that she is in a fiercely competitive marketplace, we are going to see exactly how incompetent she really is.

  14. Re:It is about not lettting ideas be silenced on The First Amendment and Software Speech · · Score: 1

    This is why it is so incredibly crucial that, as soon as possible, we get a constitutional amendment completely re-organizing political campaign spending. Anything that people vote on, i.e. people and initiatives, should be considered a special exception to free speech, and monetary expenditures on *publishing* speech that promotes an individual candidate or initiative should be limited or eliminated altogether.

    OR...

    Or, we could get busy carpeting the landscape with breeder reactors and win with cheap, non-CO2 energy. Then, once we've gotten good at it, we show the rest of the world how to have cheap energy. Of course certain people will not like this plan and will kill anyone who tries to implement it.
