    I am from Texas, that will never happen. Solving family problems through violence is considered the right of the head of the household. Even more so because he said that it was in retaliation for him withholding money, so he'll be seen as a good guy who was dealing with an entitled child.

    Besides that, this man is a judge (one presiding over cases of family abuse at that), and he'll likely get reelected too, because Texas has the best courts that money can buy!

    I doubt that they cared very much about the people whose money they were managing then either. If they felt anything at all, it was fear that it might hurt the management.

    The big money isn't in consumer saving anyway, but selling them retarded financial instruments like `mortgages'. Sure, they'll lose a few billion dollars that they could have loaned out, but they can always get a loan from the fed or other banks, or even do all sorts of other shenanigans to make the difference up. This is really a victory for them, because they got rid of all those customers who actually care how they are treated, and now know who can be exploited!

    I don't know.... Still seems and wildly outside of their area of expertise, but it isn't as if NASA has anything better to do without the budget for actual space with rockets and people. Very neat though, if only applicable for molecules.

    Is anyone else disappointed that it is the BBC that has to cover this rather than an American source? I'm not saying that they aren't great reporters, just that it is disappointing that there is so little interest in America.

    What a great and insightful way to get your point across! I love how clever, original, and mature that is. A truly eloquent remark. It does very much to show that we, the open source community, always knows best, and to illustrate the evils of cybercapitalism.

    My advice: Stop falling for such an obvious troll and your outlook on life will be much improved.

    If this were a thread in a story about eugenics, then it may be legit, but since the comment in question was only tangentially connected to the story, you should immediately tell that it is a troll.

    Then again, I seem to be the only one who can tell a goatse link from a legit link without clicking 95% of the time, so I may just have a gift.

  24. Re:After December, this is a self solving problem. on Anonymous Takes On a Mexican Drug Cartel · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but those guns and bombs that are needed from the start don't buy themselves until after you take over. Not only that, but the soldiers are used to having air superiority and can call in backup if need be. You aren't going to get 20 billion dollars worth of planes and choppers without the budget of the DoD or a huge manufacturing infrastructure to make (inferior knock-offs) it for you. You can't exactly buy a Predator drone at Radio Shack.

    Second the very real problem of budget, is logistics. All the transfers would need to be secret, especially in the infancy of the organization. Fifty thousand Americans showing up in combat gear, getting ready for something is going to draw some attention, and make an preemptive strike imminent, so you better be ready.

    In short, I don't think that anything like that could be done without a bigger actor running it. Perhaps it could be operated by a State, or the Russians, or the evil JEWS that I hear so much about, but no upstart is just going to take over. Everything starts very small and secures it's piece by initial cooperation followed by subsequent ruthlessness that either simply overshadows its mother, or exterminating them when the time is right. There was a time when every warlord was just a street level thug (unless he was born into a crime family already, but the right succession doesn't often hold in positions held through violence or without some notion of Divine Authority). The exception is when there is already a power vacuum that is waiting to be filled, which is not the case with Mexco.
