  3. bah on VC Likens Google Bus Backlash To Nazi Rampage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    at a time when income disparity is at an all-time high in about the last 100 years. tom perkins is worried about some future backlash against the rich, while the political system has already sold out most of the public if anything does happen, when push comes to shove, he'll be able to take his money with him to singapore or hong kong like the russian oligarchs took theirs to london.

    lol, he's written books

    you know, kristallnacht was bad, but the u.s. had its own pogroms during world war I against Germans in America. German businesses were smashed up, German printing presses were destroyed by mobs, etc.

  5. Re:BS Detectors at Maximum, Mr. Sulu on US Intercepts Iranian Order For Attack On US Embassy In Iraq · · Score: 2

    Gee I wonder how those psychopaths got into power. It's not like the CIA overthrew their democratically elected leader and installed their own lap dog leading to revolution a decade later instilling anti american feelings in the region or anything.

  12. Re:Flash memory prices on Why Microsoft's Surface Pro Could Fail · · Score: 1

    Apple pays about 42 bucks per 64gb chip. I'm sure MS isn't getting as good of a deal, yet at least... I'm assuming the markup isn't some insane amount for what most people would think is a premium feature.

  17. Re:Wonderful on European Central Bank Casts Wary Eye Toward Bitcoin · · Score: 2

    At least when a business does it, I know they're doing it for profit. But when the government gets together with bankers on a private island then passes the law on Christmas Eve, you just get a little uneasy that it may be for some other reason.

  18. Wonderful on European Central Bank Casts Wary Eye Toward Bitcoin · · Score: 5, Funny

    They're both in the business of creating money out of thin air, so of course they'd see a problem with it.

  19. Re:No shit on The Surprising Truth About Internet Censorship In the Middle East · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Religious leaders are just another dictator. Religion is only another tool to accomplish the same thing as the politics that teach and exploit strong feelings of strong nationalism/culturalism. The real tool of abuse in all cases is psychology and the sociopaths work their magic on a person from the first day of his/her life..

    not quite. religion is voluntary. that's the problem with the political sphere: if dictators ruled by voluntary consent of the people, they wouldn't be dictators, would they?

    On Thursday, the Morning Joe panel focused its attention on whether there’s the potential for a conflict of interest given tonight’s vice presidential debate moderator, ABC News’ Martha Raddatz, counted Barack Obama — then a Harvard law student — among the guests at her 1991 wedding.

    From that example, the character was actually named "Guy" and he was dead.... But yes, from the other screenshots it seems that the translation is a bit rough... From what I'm getting one lady translated it for the trade show, so it wasn't the polished final results.

  25. Re:It's all a plot on Hurricane Could Make a Mess of Republican Convention · · Score: 2

    Actually, the GOP was afraid of bad weather in some of the states leading to Paul wins. If the delegates pussy out because of a storm, I'm more than positive the Paul people will fight there way to the convention. I just don't know what the rules are... Can they cancel the convention? Do all delegates have to show?
