  1. Re: what? on What Modern Militaries Can Learn From Battlestar Galactica · · Score: 2

    You don't understand how we communicate. We have a large number of communication systems that are unrelated to the internet. Drones would work just fine. Chain of command communications would be untouched. I will not list what we have for OPSEC reasons, but it is far more vast than you know.

  2. Dead batteries on New Smart Gun Company Hopes To Begin Production This Summer · · Score: 1

    Oh no, someone is breaking in. Okay, I have a "clip" (lol) loaded, ready to go. He's coming around the corner! Click! Click! Batteries are dead. Hold on, let me check the drawer in the kitchen.

    Your logic is faulty.

  6. Re:Couldn't they... on Want to Keep Messages From the Feds? Use iMessage · · Score: 1

    No, they would need a warrant. Law enforcement prefers to sculpt laws so they are exempt from as much red tape as possible. Makes sense, but most of that red tape is known as your rights.

    Maybe you have heard, the Japanese told us they were coming to Pearl Harbor. The USA ignored the warning and "got surprised."

  8. It wasn't me on Aaron Swartz Prosecution Team Claims Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    I didn't harrass them. I am glad that there is some justice, since the prosecuters obviously are not the ones who are bringing it to the country. Would I harrass them? No. Am I happy they're being harrassed? Sure.

  9. Re: Bush cut funding to the levees on FAA Pushed To Review Ban On Electronics · · Score: 1

    I think lobbies should be far more regulated, and they have no decision making capability. If my daughter begs me for McDonalds every meal of the day, she isn't to blame for getting obese. I am in control of what she eats. Same in this situation. I don't give a damn about your left and right crap. These people are individuals, and the party system is simply a way of saying it is not my fault.

    He was very responsible. He diverted funds from the dyke renovation half a year before Katrina hit. He did not take his chevy to the levee, and it made it very not dry.

  11. Re:Sums it up ... on DoJ Admits Aaron Swartz's Prosecution Was Political · · Score: 1

    The science is clear, however it was generated politically. Contradictory information was discarded and singular results are pursued. Of COURSE it looks clear, they have an amazing filtering process. I do believe the Earth is getting warmer, but that does not mean I believe a liar telling a half truth is a good thing.

  12. Re:What happens when the machine dies? on Retail Copies of Office 2013 Are Tied To a Single Computer Forever · · Score: 1

    Tomorrow my wife's (new to us) 2006 Volvo S40 has to be towed to Volvo dealership an hour north of us. That's because the Immobilizer activated. All it does it make the car not start because it THINKS someone tried to steal it. Did someone try to steal it? I have no idea, but it doesn't start. This is not unique to computers, and Office 2013 is so nice I'll put up with it, but I do get the government license (USAF) that allows me to install it on more than one computer, hehe.

  14. Math? Stupid on Missile Defense's Real Enemy: Math · · Score: 1

    Calling this "math" is really stupid. That is a war of attrition. Exhausting your enemy's resources already has a name. Saying they can beat us with math means that most first world countries have already won with their education systems.

    Are you kidding? I own an iPhone, but it is NOT an original design. Rectangular with rounded edges and a large screen? Don't forget that "iPhone" was a Cisco trademark that Apple stole from them after licensing agreements fell apart.

    There are roughly the same number of road deaths as gun deaths in the USA each year. Yet road transport has has practical, important use for most people every single day.

    The only excuses for guns are the hobbies of hunting and target shooting. It's not worth it.

    No. You are lying. The number of traffic related deaths outnumbers the deaths from firearms by a considerable amount. Compare again to rifles, and the number is fairly tiny compared to our population. A noteable amount of those are justifiable homicides as well. If you want to violate the United States Constitution then why not go to Mexico where they have absolute gun control? Your opinion cannot nullify 2A, even if you feel really really strongly about it. And a correction to all involved, a 10 round magazine is low-capacity, not standard. 15 round magazines are not high, they're standard.

    I really wish conservatives wouldn't invent new meanings to words just so that they don't have to update their world view.

    Really? Like liberals didn't redefine "assault weapon" to mean "scary looking rifle" instead of its true definition of "full-automatic firearm"? Don't call out conservative or liberal crap when it is all B.S.

    Amazon has a car parts configuration utility that shows you things that will work on your car. I purchased some headlights that the utility said will work in my car, and took them to be professionally installed. After doing the work, they discovered they didn't fit, that they were for the Sedan only, and I have a Coupe. Guess what Amazon did? They took back the headlights and refunded me the $90 of labor I wasted discovering it didn't fit.
