  1. Re:Maybe you should have read more than one senten on Wikipedia Admin's Manipulation "Messed Up Perhaps 15,000 Students' Lives" · · Score: 1

    So...you have a website where anyone can say anything and people are trying to figure out who to blame when someone says something false?

    I see.

  2. The Plot on The X-Files To Return · · Score: 2

    Scully and Mulder will have gone on a spacecraft into the past, which causes the unanticipated side affect of being 13 years older, somewhat plumper, and in need to cash.

  3. Re:Here's MY test on A Bechdel Test For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Kickstarter...get'r done!

  4. Re:The dumbest thing on A Bechdel Test For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    Really, who could blame women for NOT wanting to be in a profession populated by typical male programmers?

  5. Re:Here's MY test on A Bechdel Test For Programmers? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Or, women don't give a shit about programming. Like I don't give a shit about interior design, or the latest clothing fashions, two areas dominated by Women.

  6. Re: Security theater on $1B TSA Behavioral Screening Program Slammed As "Junk Science" · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Israelis seem to have a pretty good method

  7. Re:that's sad on NASA's Abandoned Launch Facilities · · Score: 1

    I expect that as long as we are setting rockets on their ass and blasting them into space, it would not be "rocket science" to design a launch facility that is adaptable to different vehicles and sizes. Re-inventing the wheel is expensive.

  8. No Business of Government on Obama To Announce $240M In New Pledges For STEM Education · · Score: 1

    As long as existing programs do not intentionally or through some structural issues, exclude groups, the government should stay the hell out.

    If this or that group is under represented in some discipline and the only reason is they choose not to attend, then there is no role for the Government to play.

    This applies to Steel Workers or STEM workers.

  9. Re:Five Years? on Online "Swatting" Becomes a Hazard For Gamers Who Play Live On the Internet · · Score: 1

    Going only on what shows up in the news, a SWAT raid can end in the deaths of innocents and/or significant injuries.

  10. Re:What a stupid piece. on Costa Rica Goes 75 Days Powering Itself Using Only Renewable Energy · · Score: 1

    Ya...I don't think that many people, especially the environmentalists, think "hydro" when someone mentions renewable. Not that it isn't but the term has been hijacked by Wind and Solar mostly with a smattering of tide, wave, etc. technologies.

  11. Too easy.

    10 to 20 with ten in a minimum security prison. Do again in in with the murderers.

    If someone is killed as a result, then accessory to first degree. After all they did plan it...malice aforethought.

  12. Re:This is interesting.... on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    As if Dr. Curry would even bother dialing the phone to reach you. You think too highly of yourself.

  13. Re:No need to know science ... on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    Yeah....but no. It is clearly labeled Climate Change. And as you never get tired of telling us, weather is not climate.

  14. Re:This is interesting.... on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    I suppose your spin is more valid than others? Or the spin of those you agree is more valid?

  15. Re:This is interesting.... on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    You call up the IPCC and Dr. Curry and argue with them.

  17. Re:No need to know science ... on Greenpeace Co-Founder Declares Himself a Climate Change Skeptic · · Score: 1

    The Feds have spent $77 Billion Dollars on Climate Change related activities since 2008.

    Even Dr. Evil would think that's a lotta money.

    Except for the last twenty years or so.

  19. Re:If you aren't with us on ISPs Worry About FCC's 'Future Conduct' Policing · · Score: 1

    50-50 chance this is sarcasm. Some people actually think like this though.

    So, hard to tell.

  20. Re:Underlying problem on ISPs Worry About FCC's 'Future Conduct' Policing · · Score: 1

    And yet, up until the breakup, you had to lease a rotary phone from AT&T.

  21. Re:Underlying problem on ISPs Worry About FCC's 'Future Conduct' Policing · · Score: 1

    Yes, that is a true statement. Are you going to refute it?

    Maybe there was some cell phone we didn't know about in the 70's? And I don't mean Agent 86's phone shoe. Were you even around prior to the breakup?

    Seriously, you had to lease your phone from the phone company up until the breakup. People WERE NOT ALLOWED to make and sell phones except for AT&T.

  22. Crazy! on Report: NASA May Miss SLS Launch Deadline · · Score: 1

    Maybe they could do something crazy like making a general puopse launch center that can handle SLS, Space-X, others, now and into the future instead of starting from scratch on each new program.

  23. Re:What's next? on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 1

    You must not have a kid buying lunch in school.

  24. Re:Then ID would be required on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can't claim it's non-existent because the system is set up in a manner that makes it extremely difficult to detect, especially in states that don't require an ID.

    It's like you saying you don't have cancer because you can't see through your skin and see it.

  25. Racist? on Obama: Maybe It's Time For Mandatory Voting In US · · Score: 1

    And if asking someone to drive to the DMV and get a photo ID is too much of an imposition and tantamount to "Racist", what would this be?

    Fine, go ahead, make it mandatory, have Automatic Registration, with biometric ID used at the polls. If you are going to go all Orwell, do it right.
