  1. The Entrie Crew on Mythbusters Ending After Next Season (ew.com) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Hope they bring them back for the finale.

  2. Watch for Google to sue RedTube because of...Tube.

  3. Really? on Despite Promises, China Still Targeting US Firms (crowdstrike.com) · · Score: 1

    Did anyone really believe that any agreement was worth a pound of noodles?

    Put your hands up!

    Umm..please wait while I scan in my gun.

    OK... you're not going to shoot back are you?

    Well, yes, I planned on it. As soon as I can get this thing to accept my finger print.

    You should stick to the old school guns.

    Yes, but I can answer my email with this too.

    Sounds dangerous to me.

  6. Re:so first she claims there was no server on Clinton Home Servers Had Ports Open (ap.org) · · Score: 4, Insightful

    This is not a case of rich people and their lawyers. It's a case of political cronyism. She is being protected.

    In the time it took to go from "No server, nope, never happened" to "It was secured and no one broke in", General Petraeus was investigated, tried and convicted by the Obama Justice Department.

  7. Can you explain how a particle that can pass through 1000 lights of lead could be detected by a refrigerator sized box? I bet it's interesting physics going on there.

  8. Re:Hipsters fight over limited supplies of juice on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 1

    The irony is that these "well healed" people will fly more often. Just one trip across the US dumps more carbon into the air than a fleet of cars in a year.

  9. Democrats, not the "Electoral System" on Electoral System That Lessig Hopes To Reform Is Keeping Him Out of the Debate (usatoday.com) · · Score: 5, Informative

    It's the Democrat Party and the media that is keeping him out of the debates. The Electoral System has nothing to do with it.

  10. Unlimited Energy on Can Star Trek's World With No Money Work In Real life? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    There was no mention, that I saw, in TFA about the fact that in the Star Trek Universe (at least in the Federation) energy was essentially free and unlimited. Add to that replicators and everyone's material needs are met.

  11. Re:Hipsters fight over limited supplies of juice on Charge Rage: Electric Cars Are Making People Meaner In California · · Score: 2

    "Demand for Electric Vehicles Outpaces Free Recharge Ports."

    Fixed.

    Oh Shit!!!

    I just had French Fries yesterday.

    I am sooo fucked. Should I delete all my porn so save my kids from being shocked?

  13. Re:Needs to be looked at more. on Study Finds Higher Rates of Premature Birth Near Fracking Sites (jhsph.edu) · · Score: 1

    I suspect now that they have what they were looking for, they will claim the Science is Settled.

    Next comes the Legislation!

  14. Or, it shows that the expectations set by the EPA are unrealistic and economically unfeasible. When most of the manufacturers have to cheat to pass the test, then maybe the test standards need to be re-examined.

  15. Fast Track on Trans-Pacific Partnership Trade Deal Is Reached · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Of course those morons passed fast track for this TREATY, which it is.

    So no matter what nasty surprises are found in it, if anyone actually gets to see it, changing them will next to impossible.

    Someone should sue and charge that this is, in fact, a Treaty and subject to the provisions of the Constitution regarding treaties.

  16. Multi-Mode Cars on Volkswagen Diesel Scandal Logistics Imply Sizable Conspiracy · · Score: 2

    Many sports cars have at least two performance settings...Mustangs with their Black key and Red keys for instance. How stupid would that be if it didn't change the performance of the engine? And when you do that for more power, you are undoubtedly going to get worse mileage and emissions.

    So what does the EPA do? Test the cars in "normal" mode and assume that no one will really ever use the "sport" mode? Reality says almost everyone will be in sport mode all of the time.

  17. Re: Gun-free zone? on 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College · · Score: 1

    If that's what your take on his comment is, then you should just turn off your computer and go water the garden.

    Explain Mexico. Guns are practically banned.

    Mexico has very, very strict gun laws.

    Tell us all how that's worked out for them.

    Just people getting their heads cut off in public, in broad daylight.

  22. How Much? on Doctors On Edge As Healthcare Gears Up For 70,000 Ways To Classify Ailments · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Will costs increase because doctors now have to hire more people to encode patient's charts? They already have at least one, very expensive, employee dedicated to that now. This is a typical government response to a fake problem...more rules, more crap, more costs.

  23. Re: there is no on Study: Man-Made Global Warming First Became Evident In the Mid 20th Century · · Score: 1

    "for instance..." is does not exclude anything.

    Any rational person understands the article and the statement by the scientist was related to Great Britain. For fuck sake, it's only 853 miles from top to bottom of the British Isles.

    Atheists murdered about 100 million people in the 20th century, give a take 10 million of so.

    any attempt to improve it makes it even more expensive.

    Because standardization, mass manufacturing, simplified/fail safe designs will never, ever apply to nuclear technology.

    Beneath that thin veneer of reasonableness lies a rabid anti-nuke zealot.
