  1. Half and Half on Barack Obama Wins US Presidency · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He's only HALF black. He's also half WHITE. The proper term for BHO is "multiracial."

  2. Re:I'm only going to say on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    The U.S. is in debt up to Uncle Sam's ears, and 2009 will be a financially devastating year as the tidal wave of inflation hits the retail sector from the trillions of new money being pumped into the system. There will be selective national bond defaults to on the debt held by foreign governments. There will be massive unemployment. There will be riots. I feel "sorry" for the next president, whoever he is, because he will be hated, because he will not be able to solve the problems. The day of reckoning in our debt funded prosperity is at hand. There's no money for new social experiments. If health care is nationalized, where are the doctors going to come from to supply the demand? Can you spell "rationing?" The USA is not Germany. We have much bigger problems looming here. The next few years are going to be a nightmare in the land of the free. Health care is going to be the least of our problems.

  3. Just As Well... on Linux Not Supported For Democratic Convention Video · · Score: 1

    Just as well, since it will be a boring ration of bovine scabala anyway.

  4. Re:You wonder? on Citizens Spy On Big Brother · · Score: 1, Informative

    No reason to use two cameras if your camera is hidden and you do not reveal it's existence. There is no legal requirement anywhere in the United States to reveal that you are making a video or audio recording of public events. (Telephone calls are another matter and laws vary from state to state.)

  5. Stallman still doesnt Get it on Stallman Attacks Gates, Microsoft, & Charity Foundation · · Score: 0

    Stallman does not believe in the concept of "intellectual property." We'll some of us disagree. Regardless, if you don't like Gate's policies, write your own software and give it away to anyone you like. The Linux and GNU has done this, which is an admirable and proper response. Whining about Bill Gates is not.

  6. The Perfect Job for You on Non-Programming Jobs For a Computer Science Major? · · Score: 0

    Do you know how to flip hamburgers?

  7. And Old Man Agrees on Gates' Last Day At Microsoft · · Score: 0

    As a 50 year old geezer, who has "been with M$ since the beginning", I would have to agree 100%.

  8. Coal to Gasoline on McCain Backs Nuclear Power · · Score: 0

    I haven't heard any national leader talk about converting coal to gasoline which became cost effective when oil hit 40$/gallon. USA has lots and lots of coal. Time to start putting people to work on this in a big way. Anyway, glad to hear McCain is at least talking about nuclear.

  9. Aren't You Happy on Indefinite Imprisonment For Web Site Content · · Score: 0

    Aren't you happy you live in the USA? (For those lucky people who do.)

  10. Re:Get it while it's hot? on Wine 1.0 — Uncorked After 15 Years · · Score: 0

    Personally I like Guinness Draft

  11. Great on Three ISPs Agree To Block Child Porn · · Score: 0

    Excellent news

  12. "Obscene" on FCC Pitches Free, Bowdlerized Wireless Internet Access · · Score: 0

    "I wonder what definition of "obscene" the FCC would like to use." Probably the stuff that's on the porno rack at your liquor store.

  13. If you can't do the time... on $4 Million In Fines For Linking To Infringing Files · · Score: 0, Troll

    If you can't do the time, don't do the crime.
