  1. Re:Sounds like a crap decision on Brazil Judge Orders Phone Carriers To Block WhatsApp Message App (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    You're such a hipster. Popular stuff needs to be punished? That's pretty extreme.

  2. Wow. I had no idea people who have used a computer for more than a few months still had Flash installed on their computer at all.

  3. ED-209 on Fake "Speed Enforced By Drones" Signs On California Freeways · · Score: 1

    There's no reason these have to be flying drones. You have 15 seconds to comply.

  4. Re:Translation is a copyright owner's exclusive ri on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    Totally wrong. If you have the disc how do you think you can mux in fan subs? The people using these are torrenters, not those that just bought a disc. Yes, there are ways to rip, transcode and remux, but be honest, we all know these subs are for pirated videos.

    Are you kidding? Ever heard of VLC? You can play DVD or video files and use any subtitles you want.

    Then build a Faraday cage around your house. You will get WiFi, and no one else can share!

    Cops are hired by the Mayor, but Sheriffs are elected officials with jurisdiction over city police.

  9. Re:But, Corporations are People! on The Amish Are Getting Fracked · · Score: 1

    Who overpays CEO's and upper management to the tune of up to 399 times the lowest wage? Who sidesteps billions in taxes that could build american infrastructure or help millions of Americans improve their lives? Who uses American tax breaks and then refuses to hire american despite huge profits?

    Apple?

  10. Maybe you don't understand what compact means? A compactor crushes things that are bigger or heavy into a smaller package. Some small cars weigh a LOT now, but are still much smaller than a standard sized car.

    True, but nearly all of them are almost as bad, just different flavors of evil.

    Kristen Stewart will not be able to get into her phone! Smile? Frown? Look quizzical? Arg!

    Pulling out is not an effective method of prevention.

    1. Bradley Manning is someone who entered a voluntary military service commitment that does not extend to civilians. His situation is unique to those in the military, and cannot be compared. He swore oaths, and committed an offense for which I believe he should be hanged. Free speech with a security clearance, NDA, and the UCMJ is limited, and it is something you agree to when you volunteer to be military. Now, Wikileaks I think is fine. They publish whatever is given to them, and it is legal.

    Saiga .308 is what I picked up. It's nice.

    What, can you tell a difference, other than a few more marriage equality states?

  17. Re:Movies are real! on House Bill Would Mandate Smart Gun Tech By U.S. Manufacturers · · Score: 1

    His point is this is a way to ban guns. Do you know what happens when you impose restrictions on aspects of guns? Look in California where the magazine limit is 10, and the white-list. The number of options available to you in terms of model selection has instantly dropped to less than 1% of available models. Did you want a version of that gun in pink? Sorry, not legal for purchase in California. What is different than the scary black version? It's not on the roster, or it holds 11 rounds, etc. This law will make guns cost $2k or more for unreliable weapons, instead of a few hundred $ for guns that could probably fire covered in your blood and sand and dirt. The rifle I chose is based on a design that can fire under nearly any external conditions, and the chance of a jam is nearly non-existant. You want a weapon to fire without fail, and you secure it without fail when it is not in use. No kid has shot himself or another with a lock through the action.

    Yeah, I read that and was confused. I use it, and even pay for the service. Works great for me.

  19. Re:Parasites on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 1

    I completely am. I've mostly seen American ventures into eating bugs. Also I recall the chocolate covered ants I saw were not cooked. Bugs inside of candy shows little indication of whether it is cooked or not.

  20. Re:Parasites on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 1

    You have to realize that most of the people who advocate eating bugs will do so raw. Yes, cooking the grasshopper will kill that giant worm thing that I've seen come out of their butt. I just don't see cooking them as the norm. And what temperature do they need to reach? We have that down for mammal meat.

  21. Parasites on UN Says: Why Not Eat More Insects? · · Score: 2

    I was thinking this sounded like a decent idea, but then remembered how many grasshoppers I've seen with parasites. I don't consider this worth the risk for me personally.

    Mission Creep is a ridiculous thing to worry about. Just like your Social Security Number, which the SS Administration has declared from the begining that it is NOT to be used as a form of identification.

    Every gun show I have seen requires background checks on the purchases of guns. Or did you come from 1992? Can you travel through time? This is amazing! Stop believing politicians. They lie, but they keep that a secret from you.
