  9. Re:How much did they save? on BSOD Issues On Deepwater Horizon · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You'd think they would do anything and spare no cost to keep the fucking thing in working order and floating.Makes the $500,000 a day lease look like pennies.

    In the corporate word, the important thing is to save money no matter how mutch extra it costs.

  24. Re:thousand and one laws on UK Gov't Launches 'Your Freedom' Website To Seek Laws Worth Repealing · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Trying to limit the quantity of legislation is a poor way to go about your aim, which I presume is to restrict the power of the government. A far better way to do this is to explicitly limit what the government can legislate on.

    Look at how well "Congress shall make no law" has worked in the US.
