  1. Re:More Specifically Aimed at Chinese Fur Farms on Mario's Raccoon Suit Enrages PETA · · Score: 1

    When people throw oil on fake fur coats, yes, I do consider them nuts. When PETA animal shelters kill more animals then private shelters, yes, I do consider them nuts.

    Scavengers? Such as Lobster and Crab?

    It was always fun to play 45s on 78 mode, sounded like Alvin and the Chipmunks.

  4. Re:Lol on Doctor Who To Become Hollywood Feature Film · · Score: 1

    Frodo failed quite a bit near the end. From the point of Shelob to the end he was pretty much utterly useless in the books. In the third book, I don't even see Frodo as heroic, it is Sam that keeps him moving the entire book.

  5. Re:MOD PARENT UP on GAO Criticizes IRS Over Serious IT Deficiencies · · Score: 1

    I'd love to see my ex try. If you previously have not claimed exemptions and start to, it raises huge red flags with the IRS and can trigger an audit. :)

    Since perhaps you genuinely don't know what they stand for because you don't know the magic of Google, I will hand you this link.

    I find the points they make quite easy to understand.

    Please, name something he did that was illegal or a war crime.

    Afghanistan and Iraq were wars declared by congress, so those can't be claimed. Considering that Bush wasn't in battle in those countries personally, I don't see war crimes being relevant.

  8. Re:If necesary means "if we're full". on Report on Web-Surfing Speeds Finds Pervasive Throttling · · Score: 1

    Verizon DSL/Cell maybe; FiOS is wonderful, and I have pushed it pretty hard at home without slowdowns are throttling.

  9. Re:You still need iPhone 4S on Siri Protocol Cracked · · Score: 1

    You think it would be difficult to make a popular game that captured the unique IDs with some usage statistics with the cover of being to improve the product?

  10. Re:Injected fake images? on China Building Gigantic Structures In the Desert · · Score: 1

    Um, click the source link and zoom in. It appears to be a bomb target.

  11. Re:Square one on China Building Gigantic Structures In the Desert · · Score: 1

    That would be Groom Lake bombing area, it is used for testing bombs (obvious?) and for training bombardiers.

    Sounds like a good comparison between Japan and China than...

  13. Re:More stuff on China Building Gigantic Structures In the Desert · · Score: 1

    Someone else suggested that this is either a salt production plant, or potassium collection plant. Think giant fields of evaporating water to reclaim stuff from the water.

  14. Re:Check the scale, those carriers would be HUGE on China Building Gigantic Structures In the Desert · · Score: 1

    Those "aircraft carriers" look like landing strips. The brown one looks in ill repair, and the blue one has stuff around it and appears to be in good repair. Most likely they are landing strips for experimental aircraft, or even just for military training aircraft. Maybe this is just China's equivalent to Groom Lake.

  15. Re:Pieces of tape? on China Building Gigantic Structures In the Desert · · Score: 1

    The airports you are speaking of are to the right of the squared off image with the random lines on the last page of TFA. It does appear to be an old and new runway, just odd that the newer one is blue.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_war_by_the_United_States

    Apparently, 2003 for Iraq. Unless you want to stick to the strict "declaration of war" which would be WWII.
    However, the Libya was a UN op, not a US only op, so no war declaration needed.

  25. Re:Except on DOJ Drops FOIA Rule To Permit Lying · · Score: 1

    The only one on that list I have a problem with you listing is the last one. Manning broke the law, and broke an oath he gave. He didn't expose wrongdoing but instead just gave a dump of a large amount of information he had access to. He is no hero, and according to law could be shot by a firing squad (espionage during wartime is literally punishable by firing squad).
