    Rand paul only seems crazy because he is talking about things others wont. REAL civil rights issues, prison reform, auditing the FED, ensuring our money is sound. I mean yeah, if you go on what we have done for the past 40 years it sounds crazy. but, maybe its time for crazy

    Sorry, he lost me with his stance on vaccinations.

    So it's a hopped up modified hunk of junk. Kind of increases its authenticity.

    Make the Kessel run? If so in how many parsecs?

  7. Re: thank god for the poor states on Mississippi - the Nation's Leader In Vaccination Rates · · Score: 1

    Hey, I don't care what the entire medical profession says. Jenny McCarthy says they cause autism. She's a celebrity so obviously she knows more than all of the doctors in the world right? And my next door neighbor's cousins best friends college roommate's sisters daughter had a tummy ache right after getting vaccinated so they must be bad right? /snark

    I agree with that angels comment. Fish can be difficult to prepare. I don't think i could prepare a good sole dish without divine intervention.

  9. Re:Tsk. And they wonder where employee loyalty wen on Massive Layoff Underway At IBM · · Score: 1

    Yep, same cat.

    He basically says that since IBM is going downhill and losing market share, they should just continue to do what they are doing now, with the same people.

    I bought absolutely nothing from IBM in the last 10 years. I plan to buy nothing from them in the next 10 years. I use none of their services. So it makes sense to me for them to become a smaller company.

    If you aren't a big company they probably don't make anything you can possibly buy anyway. They have sold off their printer division, their PC division, hell even their server division!

  10. Homeschooling should be mandatory on Ask Slashdot: Pros and Cons of Homeschooling? · · Score: 2

    for those idiot parents who insist on not vaccinating their children.
    Putting your own kids at risk is bad enough. Putting others at risk is criminal.

  11. Re: No, actually... on Novel Fluorinated Compounds Discovered In Firefighters' Blood · · Score: 2

    By any chance did the firefighter's children somehow get a free scholarship to some fancy private school run by a bald guy in a wheelchair?

  13. Re: Yay for "zero tolerance" on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 5, Funny

    Actually they should expell the kid. In fact expulsion for every minor offence. On the other hand not getting vaccinated is no reason to take kids out of school. It is after all the parents right even if it puts others at risk for actual harm. But threatening with a 'magic ring' or making a gun gesture with your hands, expell the brat.

  16. Re: It's either Comcast or prohibitive cap on Comcast Employees Change Customer Names To 'Dummy' and Other Insults · · Score: 0

    For many Comcast customers it may be an improvement. Possibly better latency too, even thought you are going through a satellite about 200k miles away. (Making the assumption that it is geostationary. )

  17. Re:w***e ? on Comcast Employees Change Customer Names To 'Dummy' and Other Insults · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Sometimes the world gets more tolerant, sometimes less tolerant. The word is 'whore' and not even the Parent's Television Council thinks it needs to be censored.

    It's the most vile insult imaginable. They are comparing their customers to the congressmen that Comcast is bribing, er, lobbying.

    But on the other hand, Apple and Google would have to port all of their apps to run on BlackBerry which will clearly result in a resurgence of a once powerful Canadian corporation. There is no way the BlackBerry CEO would lie (or be totally clueless) about this...

    'Smart TV' is almost as much as an oxymoron as 'Reality Television'.
