    Obama could have had these agencies dissolved and the Patriot act repealed in his first year. He had the numbers.

    This is like driving on the freeway at 150mph on non-VR tires. While they may not blow, it is inevitable that they will and the results at that speed will not be pretty.

  9. Re:Ordered to explain why it ignored the order on Federal Appeals Court Orders TSA To Explain Delay In Body Scan Public Hearing · · Score: 2

    I think there needs to be some kind of use of force involved regarding the executive branch. It has amassed too much power and run roughshod over Americans.

    I would like to see a state call out the troopers to arrest some TSA thug or forcefully ignore an order from the feds. Perhaps if the head of the EPA, TSA, or other Brownshirt Agency was arrested and charged with a state crime due to their agency's conduct it would get everyone's attention and move the issue to the abuse of power to the forefront of public attention.

  10. Re:"Activists" eh? on South Korea To Restart Its Oldest Nuclear Reactor · · Score: 1

    Evidently, since the safety problems have been identified and the facility has passed safety inspections, then the "glitch" was fixed.

    So what was the debate again?

    And if you are at all involved in software, you know better than to put all your trust in it.

    OK,

    The point is that they had a minor glitch, no one was hurt and nothing was damaged.

    They figured out what happened, fixed it, and now are going to restart it.

    What is the debate? There is no debate other than "activists" don't want it restarted because of their irrational fear of nuclear power.

    Yes, it is.

    And, I shutter to think that someday people could be singled out and told they "are not worth it".

  16. Re:Because these scientists are Special on Scientists Stage Funerals To Protest Against Cuts — a New Trend? · · Score: 2

    I doubt anything "new" will come out of "blue sky" research efforts in a time frame that will help the current economic downturn.

    While they should be concerned about funding cuts and should do what they can to minimize them and their impacts, parading down the street with a coffin is stupid and melodramatic.

    Buck up and do the best you can, as will everyone else.

    No, but his accomplishments demonstrated his intelligence.

    If he had never learned to play, never did play, nor did anything else that demonstrated his intelligence, then in reality, he wasn't.

    I do not dispute that they may have or will in the future be able to determine someone's potential, but it will be a crude measurement and entirely pointless as potential is worth exactly worth squat until realized.

    I DO question this seemingly incessant need on the part of people to categorize and label people as smart/not smart based on some physiological measurement (excluding obvious physical impairments).

    According to Slashdot standards, "debunking" pretty much amounts to saying "no, it's not".

    So, the AC debunked it.

    THIS.

    This is the area where the Feds should spend money.

    A single design (2 at most) should be selected and certified.
    Existing laws should be changed to eliminate lawsuits and expedient site selection.
    Components should be mass produced, assembled, tested, and shipped (when feasible)
    On site tooling should be manufactured and reused (no custom builds of forms, etc.)

    Build one off nuke plants is stupid. A power company should be able to select an appropriate site and start construction within several months and order components from a central facility.
