  1. Big Brother on NYPD To Identify 'Deranged' Gunmen Through Internet Chatter · · Score: 1

    Nice. Let's just call it a 'pre-crime' division. More likely it'll just turn into another expensive entrapment racket. Go Go Police State! By the by, forcing the 'deranged' into prisons has its own repercussions on society, not to mention forcing medications with dubious claims of efficacy upon the unwilling.

  2. Will Not Comply on Executive Order Grants US Gov't New Powers Over Communication Systems · · Score: 0

    I do not recognize that these orders hold the weight of law. Don't Tread On Me.

  3. Re:No idea on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 1

    It boils down to a question of is medicine a for profit industry or not.

    Respectfully, it does not. Insurers and financiers of medical care are not a part of this, as I am aware. The sale of organs is illegal. The process by which recipients are selected are subject to regulation and oversight in order to ensure that those selections are made with regard to medical condition and need. We don't need billionaires taking advantage of land scams to bribe transplant doctors to violate their ethics.

  4. Re:No idea on Transplant Surgeon Called Dibs On Steve Jobs' Home · · Score: 2, Informative

    It means not only did Jobs buy his way to the head of the transplant line in a state he had never lived in, but his trust sold the house to the doctor who performed the transplant. Legal, perhaps, but morally bankrupt. Jobs was a bad man.

  5. Cat's Cradle or Earthsea? on New Ice Structure Could Help Seed Clouds, Cause Rain · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Perhaps it isn't Vonnegut so much as Ursula LeGuin we should look to here. You can't cast a light without creating a shadow. Do we know that creating rain somewhere will not cause drought elsewhere?

  6. Re:I can tell you what they're afraid of on Microsoft May Be Targeting the Ubuntu Desktop · · Score: 1

    Since switching my family (parents, grandparents, siblings and children) to Ubuntu I am no longer the helpdesk punching bag at family gatherings. I keep four different build/configs on a thumb drive. You can pick up chicks with a ten-minute Ubuntu demo. Ubuntu is the right product, with the right message, at the perfect time.
