  1. Re:Solution to US debt problem on Satellite Spots China's First Aircraft Carrier · · Score: 1

    I know. Everyone knows that a trillion dollars is just chump change. Pffft you can barely even buy candy with that measly pittance. It's not like that's more than GDPs of 92% of the world's countries. Yeah some serious chump change that is.

  2. Re:multitasking on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    So then why aren't they wanting to ban radios? It's a far, far larger source of distraction than cellphones. Oh right, that's cause the goal is anti-cellphone not pro-safety.

  3. Re:multitasking on Why the NTSB Is Wrong About Cellphones · · Score: 1

    One of the big problems is that these safety nannies don't even go after what are bigger causes of distraction and accidents like eating while driving, fiddling with your radio, or trying to find something while driving. No instead they attack only cellphones which statistically are far less of a factor than the three things I mentioned. If we're going to go all out ban radios because they are far bigger distractions than cellphones. But you'll never gear the safety nannies try to pass this because their agenda is anti-cellphone not pro-safety.

    So now we have to by law have both hands on the wheel? Really? So i can't shift my transmission, cover my mouth when coughing or sneezing, can't adjust my mirrors if I'm having issues, etc? I do love your cop out about radios, though, since fiddling with your radio is a far bigger cause of distracted driving than cellphones and only less of a cause for distraction than eating or trying to find something you dropped while driving. Let's ignore that cause teh cellphones are ebil!!!!!

  5. Re:I doubt approval from YouTube is even necessary on At Universal's Request, YouTube Yanks News Podcast Over Music Snippet · · Score: 1

    Because political influence has nothing to do with quarterly revenue. Secondly you seem to be wrongfully looking at the subsidiary level for revenue. Time Warner makes $27 billion in revenue, NBC Universal is $17 billion, Vivendi makes $29 billion, Viacom $15 billion, Walt Disney Company makes $38 billion, News Corp $33 billion, Sony at $87 billion. These companies have far more resources and power than Google and are far more entrenched since they are far older.

    Bullshit. Viewing the Android phones at the majority of the US telecoms sites the phones with FFCs are in a tiny minority of all Android phones they are selling. But one doesn't really expect truth from a fandroid.
