    So it's a case of umpteen bajillion dollars for bigger and bigger devices and the answer is, "Yeah, that's what we thought"?

  3. Re:Preserved To Show Who Took over $100 Billion... on The Science of Hugo Chavez's Long Term Embalming · · Score: -1, Troll

    Kind of like how Obama "won" re-election.

    Nice

    Chavez should be left to rot on some pile of rocks somewhere so the crows can pick his bones over.

    Video Game Developer Defends Video Games, News at Eleven.

  7. The 9th usually goes all in for Government. So they must have all had their meds that day.

    As for the dumb ass snark about Scalia , in case you haven't noticed, he's not much of a supporter of Government's right to poke it's nose in your business.

  8. Re:If only we could figure out.. on Global Temperatures Are Close To 11,000-Year Peak · · Score: 0

    Based on my observations and interactions with twenty somethings...it isn't standard these days.

    New hires in their twenties should have at least 10 years experience in shouldering increasing responsibilities, keeping schedules, working independently, and handling money.

    Used to be that way

  10. Re:The worrying part on Defense Dept. Directed To Disclose Domestic Drone Use · · Score: 1

    Actually, the Dems get their panties in a wad over Drone use overseas, but don't give a fuck about drone use here. at least according to their votes.

  11. Re:And you know what would help even more? on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 1

    Why don't I get a free car every year and a 4 bedroom house for free?

  12. Patients on Most Doctors Don't Think Patients Need Full Access To Med Records · · Score: 2

    Most Patients think Doctors and Hospitals should charge less.

    There are way more patients than doctors so if we are going to get into this bullshit of setting policy by taking fucking polls, then I think the Doctors will be fucked over well and good.

  13. Re:And you know what would help even more? on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 2

    Because that's forcing the government to invest in private institutions

    You mean like...G.M.?

    Besides, the taxpayer will take it in the ass regardless. 401k plans are better than us being on the hook to pay some guy his full salary and benefits after he's retired.

  14. Re:And you know what would help even more? on City Councilman: Email Tax Could Discourage Spam, Fund Post Office Functions · · Score: 2

    How about converting everyone to 401k retirement plans, like he rest of us.

  15. Re:Science on Spaceport Development Picks Up Steam In Texas · · Score: 3, Informative

    What you and everyone else is missing is that Texas is burdened with educating hundreds of thousands, if not more, illegal aliens. In fact, Kids come across the border to attend our school. Why? Fuck if I know, but the courts said we have to let them in for some reason.

    So now you have to feed them, hire Bi-Lingual teachers, and then deal with the inevitable gang problems. Just look at San Antonio ISD.

    The district my kids went to is rated tops in the nation in all the math and science scores and guess what? 99.9% of the kids that go there speak English and are not in gangs. If you think I should pony up more tax dollars to make sure a bunch of illegals on the border get a nice stadium and band instruments, then I think you should too.

    As for Football, aside from the initial capital investments, the programs are run mostly on ticket sales and other fund raisers. Same thing with the Bands.

    You can have my pr0n when you pry it from my dead, hair covered hand.

  18. Re:Good luck with that... on EU To Vote On Proposal That Could Ban All Online Pornography · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Back in 1993, the European governments got together and said, "we don't have enough politicians making up useless, feel good, and inane laws. So let's create a ginormous bureaucracy that can do it for us." And then they created the European Union.

  21. Re:You know your space program has a long way to g on For ESA's Herschel Mission, the End Is Near · · Score: 1

    So instead of fixing the project, you kill it, waste all that money and have nothing?

    If I'm building a house and it's over budget, I do what I can to get it finished. At least then I have a house to live in.

    Was the Constellation project really broke?

    How much money do you flush down the toilet instead of seeing it through and having a product?

    I seems to me that NASA has all the technology needed to create a spacecraft, manned or unmanned, to make accessing the local solar system (Earth, moon, etc.) a matter of routine. Perhaps if they had an appropriation that lasted for more than a year and they (Administration, Congress, NASA) stopped canceling things when they reach 75%-80% completion.

    In other words

    If it feels good, do it.

    Sometimes what is best for the Nation is not what is popular.

    A democracy can only exist until the voters discover that they can vote themselves largess from the public treasury.
