    I think spelling classes should be mandatory.

    Dude, they put fluoride and chlorine in that - drinking the stuff is just crazy.

    "A foreign substance is introduced into our precious bodily fluids without the knowledge of the individual. Certainly without any choice. That's the way your hard-core Commie works."

    It had to be said.

  6. Re:Charge for support on National Park Service Says Tech Is Enabling Stupidity · · Score: 1, Funny

    If stupid people deserve to die, then I guess we should sentence all mentally retarded, or maybe even anyone with a tested IQ less than 120, to death then.

    Why stop there? We could just turn them into green wafers of high-energy plankton and send them off to all of the impoverished nations for those that are hungry.

    We are never going to know the truth unless someone has a high quality video of the alleged rape. . .

    You just solved any funding problems WikiLeaks could run into in the future!

    Sounds like a pretty shitty idea to me!

    I didn't assume the reader or poster was an American. I simply made the point that the acceptable spellings would be the American English spellings on an American website. You wouldn't want a British editor editing an American manuscript using British spellings and grammar formulations, would you?

    Typical American ignorance to assume all posters/readers are American.

    Typical douche-bag non-American quick to call an American ignorant solely because they are American.

    Also, a question, which key holder is Ma-Ti?

    So they obviously have a skill you do not.

    I wouldn't call being born into money or knowing the right people a skill. The second could be argued to be a skill, but I bet that most people that have the right connections and know the right people are already well off anyways.

  14. Seriously? on HDMI Labeling Requirements Promise a Stew of Confusion · · Score: 0
    This looks like something copied and pasted from some PR bulletin.

    In many ways HDMI has revolutionized the way we connect devices. By unifying video and audio into a single cable manufacturers have been able to make their products easier to set up than ever before.

    Video and audio have been unified into a single cable for a long, long time. It's called a coaxial cable.

  15. This is going to be posted quite a bit. on An Unprecedented Look At Apple's "Black Labs" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Apparently, their exhaustive testing doesn't actually include using the product.

  16. Re:Cut the cable on Sidestepping A-to-D Convertors For Town Government's Cable TV? · · Score: 2, Informative
    The following was stated in the description of the problem:

    Being a municipality, we are entitled to free expanded basic cable as a part of the franchise agreement back in 1982.

    They are not 'paying' for the cable TV.

  17. Re:He was executed for time travel on Science Historian Deciphers Plato's Code · · Score: 1

    The final straw came when the Greeks repeatedly insisted there is only one time traveling phone booth, and it belongs to The Doctor.

    The Doctor does not own a phone booth. He owns a police callbox. There is a difference. The phone isn't even inside of the police box.

  18. Re:Customer Service on Verizon Makes Offering Service Blocks a Fireable Offense · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Shaft your customers enough and they'll switch to a different company.

    I agree with you. However, there are plenty of fresh customers to take the place of those that leave. It seems like there are just too many people now to attempt the 'vote with your wallet' strategy. Because there are so many damn customers now, you're never going to get enough people to stop consuming that product to make a difference. Look at Toyota. People died due to their negligence. Are they going out of business? Nope.

    I don't think that the terms social media and collective wisdom can be appropriately used together in a sentence. Unless you are describing the lack of wisdom thereof.

  25. Re:Tax private aircraft?! Again! on Senate Votes To Replace Aviation Radar With GPS · · Score: 1

    You don't tax the people of Texas for the new roads in Washington.

    Actually, I believe you do. Have you ever seen the signs posted along interstates or at the beginning of a construction zone? They note the allocation of tax dollars from both a state and federal level. Where do you think the federal government gets the money in order to divvy it out?

    As a side note, federal highway funding was one contributing factor when the legal drinking age was increased from, I believe, 18 or 19 to 21. The federal government strong-armed the states by refusing to provide highway funding if the states did not increase the legal drinking age to 21.
