    In the deep south. Catholic = evil to the southern baptists too.

    There is plenty of infrastructure that needs to be replaced or repaired, lets start there before we look at the random holes in the ground.

    Did you read the summary?

    That is exactly how it reads to me. Apple Exec: we love it in China because when we needed a change made to our product at the last minute, it was no problem for the foreman to wake up the workers to make the change.

    Yes, there is.

    Capital punishment and abortion are murder.

    Guns for the people are included in the constitution.

    This already happens, it is called pork barrel spending.

    Have you ever heard anyone belittle every priest, and every Catholic because of the child sex scandals? Now show me the same thing for atheists.

  8. Re:Corruption. on Google Fiber Work Hung Up In Kansas City · · Score: 1

    As a previous worker 10 years ago in the fiber industry, yes they do have machines which can bore a hole where previously a trench was needed. It doesn't work in every situation, but directional boring is a reality.

    The machine pushes a boring head that can turn on its own into the ground behind metal pipes. The machines I have seen are made by a company named Ditch Witch.

    According to the article as well, before this delivery, they would have run out in March or April...not like next week, so it wasn't even a big deal; though getting the oil in before the ice got too thick was good.

    The problem with traffic laws is that you are always breaking them. Going too fast? you're speeding. Going slower than traffic, you're impeding the flow of traffic. Speeding not done to excess causes less accidents. The speed limits are also particularly bad.

    Make that opt in instead, opt out is too easy to abuse by making it difficult to opt out, or making the opt out small print.

    So, iRobot (the book, not the movie) was a political book, not science fiction because it involved the politics of robots in the world. Ok, I will let Isaac know next time I see him that he is a political commentator, not a scifi author. Oh, and that magazine he started should probably be renamed too.

    You keep posting the same link, did you miss something in the previous poster's point which directly refuted it?

    Unlike your analysis, which excludes broad categories of welfare spending, I look at gross flows of funds.

    So, do you have a source that includes that spending, or will you keep using the same link?

    Try sorting the states by population, you may find an even more disturbing trend. Land area/population is an interesting one too. The states that spend the most comparably are the states with a lower population per square mile. Every state is on the interstate system, and some of them are less populous and large than others.

  18. Re:Oh, the Horseshit You Will Print! on Predicting Life 100 Years From Now · · Score: 1

    Exactly, isn't California the state that has the issue of voting in spending increases without tax increases? They had a serious budget deficit last year, it was all over the news.

    Perhaps you missed it, but the Democrats attempted to shut down the government as well. They were unable to come to an agreement about which budgets should be cut, and so almost caused the government to shut down.

  20. Re:Really? on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up a Wireless Catch-and-Release · · Score: 1

    History has also proven time and time again that religion and rationality coexist very well. Christianity was where the university system started, it is where science was born. The Catholic church is consistently on the side of science. The problem is, the news organizations focus on those that aren't really religious, but try to use religion to nudge people in the direction they believe. Creationism isn't a Catholic belief, the Catholic church believes that evolution is a fact, they just believe a higher power directs evolution, rather than simple randomness.

  21. Re:Really? on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up a Wireless Catch-and-Release · · Score: 1

    The church also does tend to lean left politically (due to the preference for letting people do and think what they want, rather than what some authoritative government/corporation/book tells them to

    Is that really a left idea? As far as I have seen the left, they are the ones that are always trying to nudge people to do what they want them to do. The Democrats seem to be the ones pushing for more cigarette taxes, and alcohol taxes.

    Or, is this one of those issues where Democrats aren't really left?

  23. Re:Fact Check ? on New Cable Designed To Deter Copper Thieves · · Score: 1

    The corrosion property of copper that is good is that the corrosion protects the copper below it. With steel, you get rust, which flakes off and does not protect the steel underneath. Perhaps this is what they meant? I thought gold was a better conductor than silver and copper? That is why they use it in connectors. Am I inaccurate in this?

    Perhaps I didn't make it clear enough, IRS means Internal Revenue Service. I am not a gear head. Now, what I was speaking of, I guess is called the rear gearbox. With independent rear suspension, it would be in a relatively fixed location of the car, with a live axle, it is designed to bounce up and down with the rear tires? But mainly I was being sarcastic at your use of an oblique acronym for a car part on a web site not geared (lol?) for car nuts :)
