  1. Re:Who would have thought on The Documents From Google's First DMV Test In Nevada · · Score: 1

    Not quite. Chernobyl was caused by operators not understanding the reactor's function in low power situations which happened to be during a test to see if the cooling system would work in the time after the core shut down but before the diesel generators were back up. They brought the power levels too low to where the reactor was nearly shut down, then to raise it back up they brought the control rods all the way out creating hot spots. Then when the power came on too strong, the response was to lower the control rods, which in a very hot reactor actually does the opposite- causes a huge reaction.

  3. USSR on L.A. Times National Security Reporter Cleared Stories With CIA Before Publishing · · Score: 3, Insightful

    At least the folks in the Soviet bloc knew the media was state controlled and was lying to them.

  4. How about this on Could Tech Have Stopped ISIS From Using Our Own Heavy Weapons Against Us? · · Score: 2

    ... Not giving them weapons? As an American Citizen, I'd be serving perhaps 10 years for possessing an M16 machine gun that we were just giving to the Iraqis. When 2nd amendment debates pop up, few people say citizens should be allowed to own tanks, MRAPS etc, but are ok with giving it to a 3rd world country (where many of the Iraqi Army soldiers turned on us as soon as we armed them).

  5. Re:Why would anyone go willingly to the stadium? on NFL Fights To Save TV Blackout Rule Despite $9 Billion Revenue · · Score: 1

    Also there's people that don't like how cameramen video the event. Worst is the NBA. The camera gets caught following the ball around and its tough to see the other 9 players. Or when they zoom in on the ball at its being shot so it fills the screen, but the cameraman isn't good enough to keep it centered and it moves all over the screen.

    I bet half of ar15.com is on that list.

  7. Re:Positive news on EFF: US Gov't Bid To Alter Court Record in Jewel v. NSA · · Score: 1

    While that is true, the federal govt doesn't have police powers beyond regulating commerce among the states. General police powers are left to the state. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/U...

    But NSA doesn't seem to abide by any law, according to this reddit article, they ran a child porn server for quite some time, to catch pedophiles. http://www.reddit.com/r/TOR/co...

    I think they didn't go far enough, more experiments like this should be done. Never before has such a database been compiled (other than NSA). Much can be learned.

    how about you pay for your own **** freeloaders. I worked 50hour weeks at a mail sorting facility to put myself through college. Through hard work and saving every penny I made, I paid off my loans in 3 years. Folks in this country.... always wanting someone else to pay for their crap

    Govt isn't supposed to have any part in any of this http://www.constitution.org/jm...

  11. Re: The Price We Pay on Up To a Quarter of California Smog Comes From China · · Score: 4, Interesting

    We can't regulate China, but we can regulate the US companies that do business over there. My company does 80% of its sourcing from China. The companies that we do business with have zero regard for the environment. How come a company here can't pollute when making widget X, but they can buy that widget X from a company that pollutes up a storm (and that storm blows to California).

  12. Re:Guilty... on AMC Theaters Allegedly Calls FBI to Interrogate a Google Glass Wearer · · Score: 1

    I hope you are trolling because this is standard interrogation technique used to put any one of the many thugs behind bars. You may think its no big deal to record a movie, but the law says differently. Up to a $250,000 fine, 5 years in prison and a felony. That means no voting for the rest of your life, and you can't own or buy guns.

  16. Re:"News for nerds??" on Federal Judge Rules Chicago's Ban On Licensed Gun Dealers Unconstitutional · · Score: 0

    2nd Amendment and the bill of rights was a mistake, as many at the time stated. Codifying certain rights presupposes that the govt grants rights. Gun ownership, and self defense were common law, and it was argued that coding basic human rights into words would be counter to the notion of the founders of this federal govt had that rights were inherent in humans and govt didn't grant those rights.

  21. Re:"...it is telling..." "...if it turned out that on Counterpoint: Why Edward Snowden May Not Deserve Clemency · · Score: 1

    War on Drugs is a war on American citizens. NSA works with the SOD who works with the various State Polices. Any senator, representative, president, prosecutor, police, etc that have participated in this war are guilty of treason. So in this way, Ed Snowden may be guilty of Treason, as many govt appointed and elected officials.

    Constitution says:
    "Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court."

  22. Gunwalker / Fast and furious... on Former Head of NSA Calls For Obama To Reject NSA Commission Recommendations · · Score: 1

    So is the NSA former head saying the NSA will allow or create a terrorist attack on citizens to create pro-spying legislation, just like gunwalker / fast and furious was supposed to do?

  23. War on Drugs is against the citizens of the USA, and the NSA has been a part of this with the SOD and parallel construction. So one could make the argument that anyone involved with the NSA is guilty of treason.

  24. Re:bit of a tricky question with forums on Ask Slashdot: Getting an Uncooperative Website To Delete One's Account? · · Score: 1

    Ownership... In this case its like land ownership, sure you "own" your land, but you have very little rights regarding it. Need permission to do just about anything as far as construction or modifying the property. And if the govt decides that your land has greater benefit with someone else owning it, they can take it and give it to them http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kelo_v._City_of_New_London

    And if you want to be the person owning it next year, you have to pay your yearly property taxes. Although the more I type, the more it sounds like govt leases land to the people, as "ownership" doesn't really fit with how it is.

    So it depends on what definition of ownership is used.
