  1. Re:Economics on First Nuclear Power Plant Planned In Jordan · · Score: 1

    Economics?!?! It's politics! Tell your people, "Look, we are a nuclear power now!"

    Even if that is not the truth, most folks in Jordan won't be able to recognize the difference.

  2. Re:Oh good.... on The X-Files To Return · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I always thought that the best episodes, were the ones that avoided the "dreaded main thread" . . . just show something weird, about some creepy-crawly critter, and do a bit of self satire.

    Those were the best.

    Sorry. Obama granted all of them amnesty, and they won't be deported to their home planet.

    Deal with having aliens on your lawn.

    Try bringing them out some lemonade, and trying to make friends with them . . . ?

    Ginni Rometty is pushing 60 years old. She will probably dead in twenty, or so Alzheimered out, that there is no difference anyway.

    What does she care, how her decision affects the position of IBM or the US in the future?

    She is concerned with cashing in, like, now.

    for IBM to lay off another couple hundred thousand.

    The last time Ginni Rometty fired a bunch of IBMers . . . just a few months ago . . . she was rewarded with a $7 million bonus.

    Why would she not want to lay off another bunch? She will get another $7 million for that again.

    Oh, my fucking God! The Muslims killed Captain Crunch . . . and Snap, Crackle and Pop . . . and the Trix Rabbit! Things are getting serious now! C'mon Americans! Radical Muslims are easy to spot.

    He just got his own dick back. No someone else's. Big difference. Recently some rapper wigged out on PCP and chopped of his as well, and then tossed it off the balcony. It was sown back on successfully.

    It's a good thing the other guy had a spare to share

    Actually, I was wondering if they had a one-per-patient policy. Having a "Kerberos" or a "Ghidra" would be quite amusing . . . a great Halloween gag! But it might get you on the sex-offenders list.

    I think men would sign up on the donor list. Think about it . . . you can keep on fucking, even after you have died!

    Now I am waiting for the post, "Why is this News for Nerds" . . .

    Maybe.

    Id love to see the breakdown on where they came up with this number.

    Being that Obama just pulled that number out of his ass . . . I don't think you would want to see it in any detail.

  19. Re:No time zones, no DST, centons on Daylight Saving Time Change On Sunday For N. America · · Score: 2

    The problem with DST is the way we implementing it. When you do a "Fall? Fall back!" nobody complains about having an extra hour to sleep. "Spring? Spring forward!" Sucks for everyone. They are all grumpy because they lost an hour of sleep.

    So my solution would be, instead of turning clocks ahead an hour in the spring, turn them back 23 hours. That day is wasted. Gone.

    Try again later. "User error. Please replace user and try again."

    Oh, that's easy! The people who won are the ones who emigrated to the US and opened a chain of restaurants named "What the Pho . . . ?"

    Slightly off topic, but Pho tastes absolutely delicious. An Asian shop nearby sells soup-base for Pho in jars. One teaspoon of that in boiling water and anything tastes great!

    I actually speculated that my own, sweaty tennis shoes, would taste good when cooked in that stuff!

    Back on topic, maybe if those ISIS folks sat down, with the rest of their enemies, for a communal meal of PolygamousRanchKid tennis shoes Pho . . . maybe they could hammer out a peace plan . . . ?
