  1. Re:ananyo is bullshit on Hungarian Sequencing Company Vets DNA For 'Gypsy Or Jew' Genes · · Score: 1

    I don't think the interbreeding did anything to propogate the genes. Where's the neandrathal DNA in modern humans?

    Congress?

    Legislation. So easy a caveman could do it. (apologies to the GIECO cavemen.)

  2. By any chance... on History Will Revere Bill Gates and Forget Steve Jobs, Says Author · · Score: 1

    Is this the same guy who keeps insisting that Windows Mobile will be the dominant phone OS by 2016?

  3. Re:Easy on An HTTP Status Code For Censorship? · · Score: 1

    "This domain has been seized by ICE due to copyright infringement."

  4. Re:The Internet doesn't have a tactile showroom on Best Buy Chairman and Founder Resigns Ahead of Schedule · · Score: 1

    Probably not because they have to compete with the Internet too.

    The Internet doesn't have a showroom that lets me touch the keyboard of a laptop or smartphone before I buy it.

    I was on best buy over the weekend and the phones they had on display were plastic models. (this however may varry by store.) On the other hand I wouldn't think of buying a TV without seeing it in person.

  5. Re:Ban crime novels on Could Cops Use Google As Pre-Cogs? · · Score: 1

    crime drama [...] crime novel

    Perhaps this could be used by some social conservative group as a way to ban crime novels by bending constitutional guarantees of freedom of the press without breaking them.

    medical students

    Can the Google account be linked to an accredited med school?

    locking people up because they MIGHT do something is a very bad precedent

    It can be done without setting precedent in the case law sense. It might just involve enforcing traffic laws more strictly against someone because they MIGHT do something.

    You are chargers with attempted speeding. I don't care that you are on a bicycle and it's a 60 MPH zone.

  6. Re:Headphones do improve concentration on Do Headphones Help Or Hurt Productivity? · · Score: 2

    My advice: never take a job in a bullpen environment.

    But I'm a rodeo clown you insensitive clod!

  7. Re:Trademark, not copyright on Chemists Make Olympic Rings On a Molecular Scale · · Score: 1

    Why hasn't the IOC sued Audi? Audi's logo is obviously a rip off of the Olympics logo.

  8. Re:Hooray. on ISS Captures SpaceX Dragon Capsule · · Score: 2

    I will be mourning the death of publicly-funded space travel. Now, we hand it over to the pirates, slave-traders and privateers of our own era.

    Citation please. Who has SpaceX robbed or committed violence against? Who has SpaceX enslaved? Which government has authorized SpaceX to attack foreign shipping during wartime?

    Someone on the SpaceX team downloaded a couple of songs off TPB, so at least in the eyes of the RIAA they are bloodthirsty eyepatch-wearing, peg-legged pirates.

  9. Re:Sounds familiar on When Antivirus Scammers Call the Wrong Guy · · Score: 2

    Actually those use some rather sophisticated methods to ensure that every CPU cycle and byte of memory is consumed.

  10. Re:Oh neat! on Nanotech Solar Cell Minimizes Cost, Toxic Impact · · Score: 1

    Shareholders care about short term stock price increases. Anything long term is a problem for whoever they sell thier shares to.

  11. Re:Oh neat! on Nanotech Solar Cell Minimizes Cost, Toxic Impact · · Score: 1

    If I'm not mistaken most of the electricity in Hawaii is generated from oil.

  12. Re:Common Sense on SAP VP Arrested In False Barcode Scheme · · Score: 5, Funny

    I once visited England and bought everything by the Pound.

  13. Re:Makes me wonder on Northrop Grumman Sues US Postal Service Over Automated Snail-mail Sort Contract · · Score: 1

    That interesting.

    Meanwhile, I'm wondering why, when any of these companies completely botches a defense contract, the taxpayers eat the cost of their fuck-ups for years on end. And really, which project DON'T they fuck up?

    But when they make a bogus machine that the USPS doesn't want, they sue!

    I love how some companies get to have their cake and eat it too, on my dime.

    Perhaps the laws should be changed so that these companies can be allowed to be defense contractors for North Korea and Iran...

    Aren't they blocking Google anyway?

    Water! That stuff is full of dihydrogen monoxide. It can't be good for you.

    There was an immortal coffee drinker in the study. There may have been an immortal non-coffee drinker in the study but the coffee drinker chopped his head off.

    He said a lot of things that he had no intention of following up on out changed his mind on. (in other words he is a politician. If his lips are moving he's probably lying.)

    When an American politician talks abour smaller government he means less government regulation for the corporations that bankrolled his election.
