  1. Re:Uranium 1 was worse on House Opens Inquiry Into Proposed US Nuclear Venture In Saudi Arabia (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Trump alone commands you and the rest of his mindless base to call any news source that's either critical of him or isn't critical of his enemies Fake News and you obey like a trained monkey. Did you ever consider for even a second that you're being manipulated by a con artist? Nope.

  2. More useless information disguised as useful. on Coffee Cuts Risk of Dying From Stroke and Heart Disease, Study Suggests (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    Study shows that further studies are needed to be studied and the results of the those studies need to be studied further.

  3. More amibiguous posturing. on NSA Director Wants Legal Right To Snoop On Encrypted Data · · Score: 0

    A country that breaks it's own laws now wants legal methods for their illegal activities even when it doesn't have to answer to any courts in the first place.

  4. Torture on Bradley Manning Says He's Sorry · · Score: 0

    It would seem that they were finally successful in making him see "five lights."

  5. Deception on Chinese Hackers Steal Top US Weapons Designs · · Score: 0

    I don't buy it, I believe this is part of a sneaky program by the US Military to "leak" tainted designs to our military adversaries. "Give them what they want, but not the way they wanted it."

  6. Re:Just has to be said... on IdeaPad U1, What We Wanted the iPad To Be · · Score: 0

    Incorrect, the source in this case is Apple's successful track record in the industry, not a bunch of 15 year olds yelling on message forums. See the difference? And about the x+1 logic of yours, are you saying you're still using Windows 3.0 or old version of Linux from the mid 90's? I'd hate to hear that too you bought an x+1 release and upgraded, then would be forced to make fun of you according to your rules. I wish you presented a good argument, but clearly you didn't come to table prepared.

  7. Just has to be said... on IdeaPad U1, What We Wanted the iPad To Be · · Score: 0

    The negative rants about the iPad can honestly be taken with a grain a salt. Just consider the source: people whom, admittedly don’t like Apple in the first place therefore had made up their minds long before the product’s specs were even released. At any rate, it’s rather foolish to bet against a company that has had nothing but an ever increasing sales record since Jobs took back the helm. Conveniently and dishonestly that fact is left out of all the dire predictions floating around the net. The same irrational predictions followed the iPhone as well which, naturally, didn’t come close to being true. The ‘ranters’ pretty much lost all their creditability over the years which means it’s time to just tell them to STFU!

  8. Re:Uh, no. They didn't. on Has Apple Created the Perfect Board Game Platform? · · Score: 0

    Yeah, but the bigger screen means you don't have squint to read things or scroll for an hour to see the whole game board like on the smaller iphone display. The bigger screen + the massive app library is the value. At any rate the thin clipboard like iPad is aimed primarily at what 95% of what the average person uses a computer for, reading information on the internet without lugging a boat anchor labop/netbook around which is, in my opinion, what people will be primarily using it for.

  9. What this really says.. on Fujitsu Readies Lawsuit Over "iPad" Name · · Score: 0, Troll

    I read it as, Fujitsu, we're green with envy.

  10. Re:Sad news on Obama Choosing NOT To Go To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Curious to note that Obama curiously has the funds to "go back" to Iraq and Afghanistan. I imagine we could have had both a more robust space program as well as a more terrestrial one if we didn't "go back" to either of those places. I love hearing our bought out politicians speak double-talk. Business as usual in regressive US.

  11. Different times indeed... on Russia Plans To Divert Asteroid · · Score: 1

    Sounds like a noble project the US just might have been involved with back in the day when it was still a respectable nation run by it's people for the people instead of the corporate governance mess it has today that couldn't care less about saving lives of the masses.

  12. Citizen vs Corporate citizen... on Feds Bust Cable Modem Hacker · · Score: 1

    Wealthy corporations can stomp these people out of existence at their whim. I can't believe someone actually thought that in today's post 9/11, ever increasingly fascist era, thought they were going to have the upper hand against corporate America. Corporate America own Congress and can practically have the Constitution thrown out of the courtroom if it suites them. Lot's of luck buddy, too bad you were a little too naive.

  13. Too early in the morning for a longer version... on Apple, Others Hit With Lawsuit On Ethernet Patents · · Score: 1

    3COM's playing the "May fortune favor the foolish" strategy.

  14. TechRadium does business with the Military on Twitter Faces Patent Infringement Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    And didn't the Pentagon classify Twitter as an enemy combat information system? Now connect the dots.

  15. Can't "put the genie back in the bottle" on Pirate Bay Trial Ends In Jail Sentences · · Score: 1

    Can't "put the genie back in the bottle" with copying IP data no more then you can wish away nuclear weapons tech. Debating this has been reduced to nothing more than a hobby rather than anything close to constructive for either side. What I expect to see is the ever more merging of the IP owner profit structure with the financial prosecution of people for receiving copied IP data instead of admitting it's an issue without practical resolution. In an ironic twist, the artists are now becoming what they used to despise: oppressors of the people.

  16. 67 computers walked off? on US Nuclear Weapons Lab Loses 67 Computers · · Score: 1

    Los Almos from 1943 called and said you suck.

  17. Put them on the terrorist watch list for asking... on Local Police Want To Jam Wireless Signals · · Score: 1

    And this doesn't meet the terrorism criteria how? Authorities given the right to indiscriminately deprive the communications of law abiding citizens when they feel like it? And then on the citizen front, we can get put on terrorist watch lists for simply discussing the Constitution in public. We're bombarded by foreign enemies from the media when the facts are, to any intelligent person, that the real terrorist threat to this nation has been coming from within it's own government. Foreign terrorists cannot take away your rights, only your government can and are ever more doing. We the people have been effectively legislated out of our own government without a vote.

  18. Sometimes the man upstairs gets upset on Meteorite Destroys Warehouse In Auckland, NZ · · Score: 1

    Are you in good hands?

  19. A nation of imbalanced law on RIAA Sues 19-Year-Old Transplant Patient · · Score: 1

    Why is that we the public are to be sympathetic to the RIAA's lawsuits against the public for alleged copyright violations, when the public is ignored on all levels when they insist that their leaders are held accountable for little things like treason and violations of the US Constitution; told basically that accountability is "off the table"? Until the heads of state are held accountable to the law, I highly doubt the RIAA and other business entities will be getting any sympathy from the public on observing the law. Leadership starts at the top. Lots'a luck RIAA.

  20. Yet another example of the birth of Amerika on Bush Demands Amnesty for Spying Telecoms · · Score: 1

    Lol... What a nakedly crooked administration. But like Carlin said, "Everyone in this country has cell phones that make pan cakes so no one wants to rock the boat."

  21. Here's a question... on Who Will Obama Choose As Copyright Czar? · · Score: 1

    I ask who will care about the next copyright Czar when the government grinds to a halt 1st quarter 2009? Everything is important but our failed monetary system.

  22. Re:Trollish Summary on Homeland Security's Space-Based Spying Goes Live · · Score: 1

    It's amazing how much people will still stick up for Bush and his very corrupt anti-constitutional administration. I'm positive that they would still do so whilst talking through barbed-wire fence in an internment camp setup by Bushco. Truth be told, it is absolutely unrealistic to have a real-for the people political leader following Bush not to have pursued impeachment and/or imprisonment of the prominent members of his corrupt administration. What kind of American are you that agrees with crimes against the Constitution???

  23. Re:Boring on 16th World Computer Chess Championship In Progress · · Score: 1

    The game of Go will last quite some time since it's been said there are more possible moves in a standard size game of go than there are atoms in the universe. I think it's quite safe from being old hate. It's the best strategy game ever invented, far better than chess.

    So, if your government is under suspicion of committing a false-flag type tragedy to manipulate their people, accept without question, said government's report on the event in question as objective and honest. Something's wrong with the system folks.
