  1. Re: The way things are supposed to be. on New Study Concludes Math Gender Gap Is Cultural, Not Biological · · Score: 1

    The other side of that is "men should take responsibility for the well-being of their wives". Women demand that but want to back out of the submitting part. Which means there is no union, just 2 people trying screw each other over.

  2. Re:this is complete BS on NTSB Recommends Cell Phone Ban For Drivers · · Score: 1

    DUI enforcement has reached the state of hysteria now with some states physically forcing all suspects to undergo blood tests.

  3. Re:Still readying the artical but... on New Study Concludes Math Gender Gap Is Cultural, Not Biological · · Score: 1

    Guys just don't ask and figure it out themselves to avoid looking stupid rather than giving up because of "homophobia". I'll grant that men are even more condescending towards women, but that's because women like it, at least in a mating context.

    So they broke down roles by letting their husbands retire from their profession? Or in the brave new world is everyone's role to be an office drone?

  5. Re:Not military on Predator Drone Helps Nab Cattle Rustlers · · Score: 1

    And the public doesn't have Kalashnikovs and RPGs. Most departments have armored personnel carriers and can probably deploy shooters in helicopters; tanks and jets wouldn't see any use. Even the military would probably choose to snatch terrorists spotted by drones rather than bomb them if they were as helpless as American civilians.

    Not surprising since those organizations would support any and all measures to obstruct, molest, harass, or annihilate the internets.

  7. Re:Just another provocation of war on House Panel Moving Forward With SOPA · · Score: 1

    An internet where only corporations are allowed to disseminate information might be something that the people of the world are clamoring for, but judging by the constant "intellectual property" litigation affecting market access of even the most legitimate corporations, it's hard to believe that the law won't disrupt the big corporations internet presence as well.

  8. Re:Is this really a new thing? on Predator Drone Helps Nab Cattle Rustlers · · Score: 1

    Drones make it possible to have an eye looking down at you for your entire life. Seems new to me, but I'm not religious.

  9. Re:Not military on Predator Drone Helps Nab Cattle Rustlers · · Score: 1

    When police are equipped and have a coordinated command like soldiers what's the difference? While they had an arrest warrant, drones can of course be used for blanket surveillance (on as large a scale as wanted, unlike helos) because citizens have "no expectation of privacy" when they are not cowering under their beds.

    Sure, he only wants to replace Israel with an Islamic state. Deporting or liquidating all infidels to do that wouldn't be another Holocaust because the first one never happened either. It may be "propaganda" to take anything he says literally or in isolation since it seems like Middle Eastern leaders like to talk a lot of shit, but the guy is not saying anything even remotely sensible.

    If it's such a great business content parasites should run servers for a fee and post all their stuff. Oh, wait, having only $10 million to spend is insulting, they demand $10 trillion.

    "Female social hierarchies" are based on mating opportunities...with men. Fashion is made for women...to be noticed by men. Women dislike being "sexualized"...by unworthy men. Sexualization happens at 6 weeks in the womb--there is no going back.

    Young girls are skinny. Can be fattened up if necessary. "Plump" women likely have stale eggs and will almost certainly get too fat in the near future, which makes their wombs poisonous to your precious seedlings.

    But as for people advocating that it's okay to claim more hours than you actually worked... that's fraud.

    Only if the employer spends a lot of time upfront explaining the job in detail so that you have zero risk of undercharging.

  17. Re:Flame filled summary. on Bloggers Not Journalists, Federal Judge Rules · · Score: 1

    Being an asshat is punishment in itself. Maybe there are legitimate uses of libel laws, but it seems like they are mostly used frivolously (celebrity sues paper because of false report that she is on a diet) or to suppress the truth. (The above statement is not an aspersion of the wonderful and sexy people who have or are currently suing someone for libel!)

  18. Re:The line has to be drawn somewhere... on Bloggers Not Journalists, Federal Judge Rules · · Score: 1

    Pretty sure the Constitution mentions a freedom of press to ensure the broadest meaning of freedom of speech, not to set up distinct classes of freedom. The Federalist Papers were certainly not written under a privileged view of journalism.

    Might help, but can you really have confidence in the voters? Look at the people we have in office: hard to believe anyone other than themselves and their moms voted for them, but millions of people chose them multiple times! A lot of votes end up being close to 50/50 which doesn't give one confidence that any intelligence is involved in the voting process at all.

    Really I wish we had an accurate lie detector so that we could spot those giggling to themselves when taking the oath of office.

    Civilization doesn't mean a constant state of progress. China and India both have newish governments that took steps backwards in some ways. Hell, this year Americans could no longer bear the sight of lovely asses in the Victoria's Secret show.

    I've come across an Ask.com toolbar check-box when installing something from Sourceforge. Looks like it was reported as a "problem" rather than a "feature" which the developer eventually "fixed", but you still have to be careful.

  25. Re:Google doing evil again on Google To Seek Dismissal of Suit Against Google Books · · Score: 1

    You are talking about legalities not "evil". Monkeys stringing words together (I'm being generous--the normal authorship process is far less original) and staking claim to them out of pure meanness for as long as we shall live is what evil looks like.
