  1. This Peter Thiel on Co-Founder of PayPal Peter Thiel: Society Is Hostile To Science and Technology · · Score: 1

    I'm always interested in what a member (chairman?) of the Bilderberg Group's Steering Committe has to say about how they want to see what the world should be like.

  2. Like $0.13 raise in Florida on States That Raised Minimum Wage See No Slow-Down In Job Growth · · Score: 2

    Florida raised it's minimum wage by $0.13 and that is going to have a detectible impact on employment in a state that is a magnet for business? It had virtually no impact on anyone except food delivery services raised their delivery fees to cover minimum wage increase for tip based employees (pizza delivery drivers) up to $4.91 @ hour. Had Florida raised it to $10.10 an hour, one would expect to see food delivery charges go to about $5.

  3. It's all about on NSA Surveillance Heat Map: NSA Lied To Congress · · Score: 0

    Name of the game is, "Control." The Elites have complete control of the Democrat Party and a strangle hold on the GOP via the GOP Establishment because the Elites cover their bet on elections. Whomever wins, will be their puppet from either party to further the Elite's agendas. Elites also own and control the mainstream media and that is why we have to get any real information on what is happening in the US Government from the UK or, surprise, Russia. If you starting to think something smells in America, it's the stench of Fascism (under which government and corporations combine) as they prepare for control of American society when economic chaos begins. Aren't you glad the US Government that monitors you also has your complete medical records and is dictating on what medical treatments you may receive under Obamacare? Good sheep will get limited health care, bad sheep, well the paperwork is somewhere, just have to wait till they find it and correct it and the IRS has questions for you on your premiums.

  4. I can see on Watching the Police: Will Two-Way Surveillance Reduce Crime? · · Score: 1

    I can see the police unions having a cow over this one. Imagine if you had to wear one of these at your work place knowing that your boss can activate it at any time (I know, the digital radios can be turned on via dispatcher at any time to listen in). I'm sure management (command staff) abusing this to bust someone's chops they don't like. There is something called "officer's discretion" that giving management real time viewing is not going to work for the public's benefit. Yes, might be an excellent tool for the butthead cop to be modified in his actions, it's the Officer Joe BagOfDonuts who cuts breaks is going to have life changed in a big way. It's about activity and revenue generation which management is beating on the line officer to increase so management looks better in very lean budget times.

    Another issue is if these head cams are streaming, how much of it is being put into a facial and location db? Do you really want to pull into that 7-11 with officers inside getting coffee with computers running your face through SCIC/NCIC as their headcam steam video your face and maybe voice?

  5. So does this mean Syrian credit is now crap with Russia? If they are selling older systems that very few (or no one more likely) is willing to buy to Syria but not the ones in high demand, it sounds like Russia has just gave Syria junk bond rating of paying off it's debts.

  6. Mythic on BioWare Founders Announce Retirement · · Score: 1

    I can only hope that this will mean EA will split Mythic from BioWare and turn it once again into a separate entity and sold off. EA ownership of Mythic has been a ugly nightmare.

  7. Re:Small Carrier on Ask Slashdot: A Cheap US Cellphone Plan With an Unlocked Phone? · · Score: 1

    If your not using Data, Consumer Cellular is the way to go since they will ship you a simcard for free. $17.50 for 100 minutes, 100 SMS.

  8. Real Question on Romney Taps Wisconsin Congressman Paul Ryan As Running Mate · · Score: 0

    Real question for the new GOP team is what can they do to stop a US Dollar collapse? Or is it too late already? http://usdebtclock.org/

  9. The Other Side Of This App on Is Your Neighbor a Democrat? There's an App For That · · Score: 2

    I don't think someone thought this app through. This app is going to tell people what the age the person is of the household, their sex, and if they are likely to be Liberal or not? I can see this app being very popular with the criminals, they can see which houses are most likely liberal since there are Democrat(s) living at that address. Now if you were a bad guy, wouldn't you love to know what the ages are in the house, if its most likely female or male, and their political leanings are since the Liberals/Progressives are most likely NOT GOING TO HAVE A GUN IN THE HOUSE! What an interesting burglary tool, or should I say, application.

  10. SpaceX on NASA's Bolden Speaks On Future Mars Mission, Chinese Moon Landing · · Score: 1

    More then likely, SpaceX will beat them to Mars.

  11. Re:Can't cut anything... on Scientists Stage Funerals To Protest Against Cuts — a New Trend? · · Score: 1

    Ask the folks in CA, NY, and NJ on what happens when you soak the rich, they leave for states that don't have state income tax. If you wonder why the US is in such dire straights financially, all the smart money is flowing out of the US and into Asia. France is about to learn this lesson the hard way.

  14. Re:All charity ends on A Critical Examination of Bill Gates' Philanthropic Record · · Score: 1

    Except that Medicare is running out of money in 12 years: http://abcnews.go.com/blogs/politics/2012/04/social-security-and-medicare-could-run-out-sooner-than-expected/ Just a couple of years before I qualify, thanks federal government! Yeah, there is Medicaid, good luck getting an appointment under 6 months that isn't a quack, if there are any none quacks still accepting new Medicaid patients.

  15. Re:Gold pressed Latinum. on A Cashless, High-Value, Anonymous Currency: How? · · Score: 1

    I agree, it won't happen. What we will see is a future in cashless world reserve electronic currency to replace the US Dollar by the world Elites. As the disaster of the EURO shows, if you can get governments to give up their own currency, you can dictate what they must do to continue to receive loans. Safely out of government's control, the elites will back it by gold/silver so it will be stable in price and against inflation.

  16. Re:Why not use a Linux distribution? on How Icaros Desktop Brings the Amiga Experience To x86 PCs · · Score: 2

    AROS team didn't want to use Linux (although the AROS Developers use Linux to develope AROS), but Commodore USA is using Mint called CommodoreOS Vision (currently in Beta) for their new Commodore Amigas: http://www.commodoreusa.net/CUSA_OS_Vision.aspx

    Today the ISS, tomorrow LV-426! ;) Gratz to SpaceX and the ISS crew.

  18. Re:Permit to prune a tree? on Ask Slashdot: Home Testing For Solar Roof Coverage? · · Score: 1

    Depends on the location and type of tree. I had friends who were fined by FL DEP for taking down some trees on their 3 acre lot that their house is on after the trees were dead or badly damaged after two hurricanes hit the area. Taking down exotic trees, not a problem.

  21. Re:Google 'international red cross call of duty' M on Red Cross Debates If Virtual Killing Violates International Humanitarian Law · · Score: 1

    US Senate never ratified the International Criminal Court treaty, so it doesn't apply to US DoD. OTOH, I can see global condemnation and banning of violent video games coming as games become more and more realistic.

  22. Just how much do we have to raise taxes? on Debt Reduction Super Committee Fails To Agree · · Score: 2
  23. Abiotic Oil on Stars Found To Produce Complex Organic Compounds · · Score: 2

    That brings into play the hotly debated Abiotic Oil theory. Conspiracy rumors have been the Deep Horizon disaster was based on BP hitting Abiotic oil and the pressure was too great for the faulty design and faulty materials used. Rumors also have been the Russians tapped into Abiotic oil during their deep drilling experiments. If this paper is correct that complex carbon chains are common in the universe, I'm wondering if the oil companies have known about it on Earth and didn't want to tell us about it till they got the price of crude high enough? That might explain the Liberty Rig that was erected about this time last year off the North Slope on a gravel island that was also known as Gull Island. Liberty Rig can drill 8 miles for slant drilling, that might be deep enough to hit Abiotic oil locked just at or just below the Earth's crust.
