    It's all being groomed for appeal, never to be actually resolved.

    Wildfires destroy man's natural habitat, the townhouse.

  5. Lemme see if I get this right on Sony Buys, Shuts Down OnLive · · Score: 1

    You all buy DRM'd games, bitch about it, and then buy some more. Is that about it? Or am I missing something crucial here?

  6. Re:Go all that way and don't get out of the car? on Planetary Society Pushes For Mars Orbital Mission Before NASA Landing · · Score: 1

    At least in the car I can turn and pee into a cup. Try that locked up tight inside a space suit. It's no *walk in the park*...

  7. Re:Too bad for CNNIC on Chinese Certificate Authority CNNIC Is Dropped From Google Products · · Score: 1

    ...a clear no-exceptions policy from the application and OS vendors...

    This cannot happen. They all have their fingers in each others pies. It would break the entire ecosystem. The house of cards would collapse.

    Rest assured, This "web of trust" is pure fantasy, with the very pillars of every institution crumbling away, it's an illusion built on pure desire and natural appeal to authority. I don't know why people even discuss it, aside from the snake oil salesmen trying to sell it.

  9. Re: Good. +1 for Google. on Chinese Certificate Authority CNNIC Is Dropped From Google Products · · Score: 1

    Hong Kong and Macau could lose their special status tomorrow and would have zero say in the matter.

    I believe that would be considered a poor business strategy.

  10. Re:"We must not throw the baby out with the bathwa on EU Commission Divided Over Nation-Specific Content Blocking · · Score: 1

    It is the demon child. It can only be exorcised through the sacrament of holy circumvention.

  11. Re:I'm all for abolishing the IRS on Sign Up At irs.gov Before Crooks Do It For You · · Score: 1

    When somebody buys (consumes) the other earns. I think it's more correct to tax the exchange. Or the general rule always is the buyer pays the tax that the seller collects. Let the seller do the paperwork. It would be much better still to make the IRS do the paperwork. After all, they are supposed to be a service.

    Anyway, this 'sign up' thing is a great scam to scare everybody into identifying themselves for future tracking.

  12. Re:Tax on Experts: Aim of 2 Degrees Climate Goal Insufficient · · Score: 1

    Yeah, that's the funny thing about abundance, people don't know how to share it. We produce way more than we need and would rather throw most of it away because the insane market needs price supports.

  15. No biggie on Australian Government Outlines Website-Blocking Scheme · · Score: 1

    We just have to formulate a circumvention scheme.. Not sure if that's possible when all the service providers have to answer to the government, but we gotta do what we can.

  16. Re:Ummmm ... duh? on Modern Cockpits: Harder To Invade But Easier To Lock Up · · Score: 1

    Ah, but with two people in the cockpit, you multiply the chances of somebody going crazy by 50%. For true safety, you put a dog in the cockpit, he'll bite the hand off anybody who reaches for the controls.

  17. Re:Ummmm ... duh? on Modern Cockpits: Harder To Invade But Easier To Lock Up · · Score: 0

    The best thing to do is lock everybody out. If the flight director was programmed right, it will land the plane safely.

  18. Re:Parent Post Semantic Content: Null on How Professional Russian Trolls Operate · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, the point is to make the hypocrite look 'worse' than the heretic.

  19. Re:How is this new? on Scientists Create Permanently Slick Surface So Ketchup Won't Stay In Bottle · · Score: 1

    What are you talking about? It's done all the time, to the most possible. That is what the *market will bear* means. Pay attention to the label.

  20. Re:How is this new? on Scientists Create Permanently Slick Surface So Ketchup Won't Stay In Bottle · · Score: 1

    Yeah they will, and they do. All that needs to be done is to reshape the bottle, and nobody will be the wiser. This (and watering the product down, it's just like the drug market) is a very common method of making your inflation figures look good.

  21. Re: Invisible hand on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 1

    Everything is hired out. I still can't figure how stuff gets built. I'm not bullshitting. I hear of workers who hire somebody else to show up at their job for them.

  22. Re: Invisible hand on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 1

    It isn't a free market if state laws restrict who can do business with whom.

    Yeah it is. Learn who the state serves and see that they are just another player. The 'free market' is all there is. What we don't have is an open market.

  23. This is a load of crap! on Comcast's Incompetence, Lack of Broadband May Force Developer To Sell Home · · Score: 1

    Why is anybody calling this Comcast's Incompetence??!

    Yeah yeah, I'm late to the party, and this is most likely redundant (it sure as hell should be by now), but what the fuck? Who are the incompetent motherfuckers that elect (reelect!) the politicians that make these laws? I simply can no longer sympathize when this shit happens.

    the coatings are derived from edible materials

    Allegedly so are hotdogs and white bread.

    They'll sell smaller bottles for the same price, and they'll enjoy lower shipping prices. Win-win, kinda.
