  1. Enlighten me. on Dutch Usenet Provider Ordered To Remove Infringing Content · · Score: 1

    How does this spell the end of usenet? There are way more providers than this one.

  2. Re:What third-party addons? on Firefox 8.0 Beta Available · · Score: 1

    Then why is it that of the 8 extensions I use, I haven't had one of them break since the move from 3 to 4? You're barking out FUD that wasn't true months ago... At this point, there is no one else but yourself to blame for why you're still on 3.6.

    It's just a number. Deal with it.

  4. Re:You f**cking communist!!! on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 1

    If we had universal coverage, you'd get the psychological help that you clearly need.

  5. Should have gone with single payer.... on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The only way this will ever get better in the U.S. is when we have a single payer system, that covers everyone. There is simply no excuse for us to not have it. This is what has been most disappointing about Obama. He's passing center-right and right wing policies (mandates were originally the Republican idea, folks, Clinton rejected it in the 90's), and The Left is taking the blame for it. If we had a real liberal in there, he would have fought for "Medicare For All", and not a 1990's Republican plan.

    Go to his website. last week he posted a climate change story, that used Alex Jones as a reliable source of his climate change denial information. I'm all for giving people the benefit of the doubt, but there is a limit.

    I know this is an odd concept, but someone can be brilliant, and still be a jackass, and this guy fits the bill. Not many people can put "Got fired from Harvard for being a total dickhead" on their resume.

  8. Never enough. on US Military Seeks Non-Cooperative Biometric Tracking Technology · · Score: 2

    When it comes to the military industrial complex, there is never enough money that can be dumped down the hole.

    And from the right-wing lovers of the constitution, and haters of government spending: Complete silent obedience.

  9. Re:Silly on Mozilla Foundation Releases Firefox 7 · · Score: 1

    I currently use 8 addons every day. Not one of them was "broken" after upgrading to 7. What are all of these addons that break all the time?

  10. Yeah I'm sure it wasn't 13+ sequels. on Square Enix Admits Final Fantasy XIV Damaged Brand · · Score: 3, Insightful

    No such thing as brand dilution. No sir. At no point did they stretch the brand thin.

  11. Newsflash: PCs are alive and well. on Can Newegg Survive the Post-PC Future? · · Score: 1

    I know the hipsters love their gadgets, but nothing beats a PC for horsepower. Much ado about nothing.

  12. Re:Responsible nuclear power is fine. on Fukushima: Myth of Safety, Reality of Geoscience · · Score: 1

    Do you think oil companies don't make a profit? Because they get more subsidies than the nuclear industry. Subsidies have little to do with profit...

  13. Re:Not so fast... on CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos · · Score: 2

    Seems to be all he does on that blog. Find things he disagrees with, and accuses the researchers of making mistakes. Hence the 100 posts proceeding this one criticizing climate scientists, even though he's not qualified.

  14. Responsible nuclear power is fine. on Fukushima: Myth of Safety, Reality of Geoscience · · Score: 1

    If you're going to run a nuclear reactor, you are definitely going to make all of the money back from building it, and a mountain of profits over the lifetime of the plant. Ignoring things like historical Tsunamis, and not making the plants prepared to deal with that situation is gross negligence, and the company should be punished. Making their plants resistant to the effects of a Tsunami would have been bad for the bottom line for a year or two, but I'm sure now the investment seems trivial.

    I'm not against nuclear power. I'm just against weakly regulated nuclear power. Private companies have proven over and over again, that they do not take public safety as a serious issue, until it's too late. Nuclear power is one industry that should have regulators breathing down their necks at every step of the way.

  15. Re:Incredible on Mozilla Contemplating Five Week Release Cycle · · Score: 1

    I see this endlessly repeated, but I haven't had an addon break in Firefox since the big update from 3 to 4. What are all these extensions that keep breaking, because since 4, I haven't had one of the 8 that I use break.

  16. Re:Anti-Rich People Rhetoric on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    Tax cuts during a time of war. First time in history. Shares sacrifice, my ass. O Rly thanks you for arguing in favor of his wealth.

  17. Re:Ryan is ignorant of economic history on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    Was Clinton too stupid to know it, or was the country too distracted by blow job stories to realize it themselves? Did Bush II realize we were at war, when he came into office, and ignored the warnings about Bin Laden?

  18. Re:I was going to journal about this on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 1

    It's easy to fall into that line of thinking, if you're lazy. We're involved in two wars. You can cut every social program you want, but we're still flushing money down the war shithole. Not only that but we've given the richest citizens a giant tax cut during the wars. Shared sacrifice? Why aren't teabaggers anti-war? Rhetorical question, of course....

    Look up the tax rate of the 50's, and then tell me how the nation didn't implode back then. You are an uninformed jackass.

  21. We're in TWO WARS. on White House Proposes "Wealthy Tax" · · Score: 4, Insightful

    It's about time the rich "share the sacrifice". First nation in history to give tax cuts to the rich, during a time of war. And some of you want to whine about class warfare? You're damn right it is, and the rich have been waging it on the rest of us for 30 years.

    Who exactly said it wasn't? I don't see anyone saying you shouldn't be able to sell software. Not even RMS advocates that. You're just knocking down a strawman, to make some lame point about the free market.
