  1. Re:Every time I do that I wonder... on What the DHS Knows About You · · Score: 1

    Send a division of bimbos, with the new DHS undress code, and both the Taliban and Al Qaeda will find a better pursuit of life - leaving the rest of us dressed.

  2. Re:Democratic? on The "Copyright Black Hole" Swallowing Our Culture · · Score: 1

    And when the American economic empire finally falls (and we're on the way down, now)

    Follow the Chinese lead:

    What Tiananmen square thing? - is the equivalent of what money? DROP DATABASE BORROWED_MONEY.

    Since no one dare attack the USA (remember MAD), and will never lend again, we will finally have a balanced budget.

    Give Airbus and Boeing the job and pay $250,000,000 for the Moon toilet they develop.

  5. Therefore, camels are susceptible to piracy on Researchers Discover That Sand Behaves Like Water · · Score: 1

    Shh! Don't tell the Somali pirates.

  6. AMA and ABA Love Socialized Medicine and Banking on US Open Government Initiative Enters Phase Three · · Score: 1

    The prevailing definition of socialized medicine created by the American Medical Association is the same as the socialized banking model created by the American Bankers Association. The AMA can game Medicare and Medicaid, the ABA can run to the government whenever they screw up the financial system. Both love their carefully nurtured form of socialism and therefore rail against replacing it with an accountable system.

  7. Re:Uncertain? on Obama Taps Charles Bolden To Lead NASA · · Score: 1

    Its because we didn't invest enough in Science & Engineering so the only astronauts available will be foreign graduates on H1Bs.

  13. IBM exploits bug in Theory of Relativity on IBM "Invents" 40-Minute Meetings · · Score: 1
    From the patent application:

    "The observation is that if an hour were shorter, by a small amount, we would be more focused, and accomplish the same amount of work, but in less real time, thereby increasing productivity."

    According to http://www.physlink.com/Education/askexperts/ae283.cfm:

    if your ship goes at 98% of the speed of light and you take a one year journey, when you return to Earth five years have gone by

    An 'hour' can only be shortened if you move everyone but IBM employees closer to the speed of light. 1 Earth hour for an IBM employee will be 12 Earth minutes for everyone else travelling at 98% light speed.

    At the end of the Earth day, when the Earth clock shows 5pm, everyone else will go home jet lagged, having worked only 1 hour and 36 minutes - *reducing* their productivity by a factor of 5. However, everyone else will also live 5 times longer than an IBM employee, which is why IBM replaces retired workers using the H1B and L1 programs.
