  1. Strong Navy

  2. Re:No. on Ode To Sound Blaster: Are Discrete Audio Cards Still Worth the Investment? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Well, you do have to use Monster Cables, and Klipsch speakers in a soundproof isobaric chamber

  3. Re:Short version of article on Microsoft Settles With No-IP After Malware Takedown · · Score: 1

    "Microsoft paid us a metric crap-ton of money..."

    Petty cash... And besides, this "news" is a press release. Everybody got what they were looking for (except the users of the domains) and it will be forgotten like yesterday's lunch. Smells like fish

  4. Re:So on Police Recording Confirms NYPD Flew At a Drone and Never Feared Crashing · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Yet we will not see perjury charges against them. How quaint.

  5. Re:Blurring lines between criminality and politics on Maldives Denies Russian Claims That Secret Service Kidnapped a Politician's Son · · Score: 1

    Blurring lines between criminality and politics.?

    The two are synonymous. What's this line?

  6. Re:Short version of article on Microsoft Settles With No-IP After Malware Takedown · · Score: 0

    Not really. They got away with it at no real cost. Chances are our "small Nevada hosting provider" was cooperating fully with Microsoft, and playing the victim card helps avoid bad press. Or it could be covering up a National Security Letter.

  7. Re:Stop throwing good money after bad. on The Pentagon's $399 Billion Plane To Nowhere · · Score: 4, Insightful

    ...we have 30+ year old designs in the field now which are rapidly becoming obsolete...

    Compared to what? Everybody else's 40+ year old design? We fly 60+ year old bombers that still outperform anything built since.

    mufti role utility aircraft

    "Swiss Army Airplanes" usually don't perform as well as expected. The Harrier being the exception.

  8. Make 'em call in the marines... It'll be a great show.

  9. Put it up anyway on DC Entertainment Won't Allow Superman Logo On Murdered Child's Memorial Statue · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Then, while they're tearing it down, get it on film...

  10. The greatest frontier yet to cross? Propulsion on Interview: Edward Stone Talks About JPL and Space Exploration · · Score: 1

    We still burn kerosene. How primitive is that?

  11. Re:Power? We dont need no stink'n power! on Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View · · Score: 2

    "Ditched"

    Every airplane can land on water at least once.

  12. Re:Power? We dont need no stink'n power! on Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View · · Score: 1

    No, he was right. Gravity rules. I never said the airplane would land softly.

  13. Re:Power? We dont need no stink'n power! on Airbus Patents Windowless Cockpit That Would Increase Pilots' Field of View · · Score: 1

    Yes, the airplane will land without power.

  14. Re:Will local rights holders sue? on New Zealand ISP's Anti-Geoblocking Service Makes Waves · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Then it will be back to bittorrent. It's best for all to tear down the walls.

  15. Great! on New Zealand ISP's Anti-Geoblocking Service Makes Waves · · Score: 3, Interesting

    But how well will this work when IPv6 becomes ubiquitous?

  16. Re:Actually makes good sense on TSA Prohibits Taking Discharged Electronic Devices Onto Planes · · Score: 1

    You really don't have to

  17. Re: does it mean anything though? on FDA: We Can't Scale To Regulate Mobile Health Apps · · Score: 1

    stuff

  18. Re: does it mean anything though? on FDA: We Can't Scale To Regulate Mobile Health Apps · · Score: 3, Insightful

    With the FDA infected with industry worms a lot of dangerous is given a chance, while less harmful substances are outright prohibited from even studying.

  19. Re:Who cares, it's just bits on Oculus Suspends Oculus Rift Dev Kit Sales In China · · Score: 1

    So what? It was sold. You only get to collect once, not every time it changes hands.

  20. Then you have to vote for people that will repeal the law. The process is pretty straightforward.

  21. Subsidies and taxes are a capacitor to stabilize markets and prices. They absorb the ripples. It only is a problem because we allow the privateers to set the conditions, as opposed to doing ourselves through conscious collective action.

  22. Re:Start with coal... on Study: Global Warming Solvable If Fossil Fuel Subsidies Given To Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    Sure, the tumor's not killing you anymore, but you have a whole new set of problems...

    Absolutely wrong. When you are dead, all your problems are solved, and they become somebody else's

  23. Really, you can vote the bureaucrats at the IRS out of office?

    Yes, if you vote for people with the will to fire them. The power is ours to lose. Nobody is taking it from us, we give it away quite willingly as a matter of convenience.

  24. ...in most of Europe the view that governments should be reigned in is not so widespread as the governments there do a better job.

    Somebody please, mod this funny, as we watch the continent burn under the revival of old time fascism of right wing nationalists.

  25. Because large size causes corruption in companies, but it must only cause nobility in governments, right?

    I would like you to find nobility in either, and not the aristocrat kind, which is common in both. Big government is put in place by big business. It is a shame that people allow it to happen that way, but... that's life.
