  1. Re:Single Payer Cost Board Says "No" on Man Charged £2,000 For Medical Records Stored On Obsolete System · · Score: 1

    Then why did Danny Williams come to the US for his heart surgery?

    He didn't like that way they were playing Danny Boy at home?

    At least, if it's like any other large conversion I have been through.

  4. Re:Stupid. on Voting Machine Problem Reports Already Rolling In · · Score: 1

    A paper ballot and a black marker beats the hell out of the paper ballot and the No. 2 pencil.

    Paper also beats rock. But watch out! Here comes the scissors.

    Voting with scissors is shear delight. Cut a silouette from paper. Attaching a noose to the silouette is called hanging Chad.

    I thought they were too evil to be supported?

    You were in the stairwell of a major landmark building, with a strange device strapped to your body? You must be a terrorist.

    If its MONEY you are talking about, they are probably integer calculations. I am fairly certain our servers only ever execute floating point instructions by accident

    Sounds like a fixed point bug.

    Until bitcoins are widely used enough to become the major currency of a country, a comparison is just specious.

    Comparison to specie is specious.

  15. Re:Corporate America to the Rescue? on China's Stealth Fighter Flight Test Successful · · Score: 1

    No need to build new aeroplanes or, heaven forbid, work on innovative new designs. Just attack them with...patents!

      All those rounded corners must, surely, breach some spurious Apple patent or other. Microsoft can claim that numerous of their patents have been infringed and demand payments with menaces but never be willing to say exactly what patents were infringed.

      Paul Allen and Lodsys had best stay out of it as we don't want these aircraft to travel to an East Texas kangeroo court to defend their claims

    The kangaroos are offended.

    Finally, Area 51 Tech being released. Figuring out how clever aliens placed those carbon molecules is the tricky bit.
    Maybe doping the ends with magnetic substance, magnetising, gluing them in place, then using acid or alien spit to wash away the metallic positioners, then a laser to burn traces between the upright and aligned fibers.

    Borrow from nature and use a jig to place parts like making proteins.

    China should simply publish a series of stories outlining Obama's gain of wealth and corruption in his last four years of office. That would be an easy an fair act of revenge. China could shut down the Obama campaign with the truth. Wouldn't that be funny?

    Unleash the Chinese rhetors.
