  1. Weapons on Do You Have a Right To Use Electrical Weapons? · · Score: 0

    Let's frame the question another way. "What new weapons do we want in the hands of criminals, that ordinary citizens will not legally be able to defend themselves with?" Ah. A lot of different answers now. Mostly in the realm of "none."

    We're "capitalist." But the President himself is a socialist. His policies are socialist, and all of his wittle democrat friends are socialists. Even if I were incorrect in their hidden agenda, they have zero economic knowledge, since they still tout the whining "equality" seeking liberalism proven false during the late 1800's, 1920's, 1980-2000's... How's that "War on Poverty" going? Never got anywhere close to providing the quality of living the poor now have Because of our rise in prosperity, not at all thanks to government.

    Actually, economically there would be no incentive for prices to lower because the government would be there to pick up the tab. Besides, where is the evidence all of our current subsidization has risen the level of output from these so called "renewable" resources? Also, what is the life expectancy of these solar panels? My research shows it's about 20 years. So after 20 years of paying it off you'll need a new one!

    Maybe you should look at the economic statements of hers and do your own research as to whether she's correct or not, instead of voting automatically for a party that taxes its way to 'prosperity' every time their elected.

    Good thing. How's that unemployment rate and GDP stagnation in Eurasia or wherever you live? Not to say it's any better here after 6 years of a socialist in the WH.

  11. Re:Need more info on Ask Slashdot: If Public Transport Was Free, Would You Leave Your Car At Home? · · Score: 0

    Well the fact that all transit has to be subsidized by the government because it's inherently unprofitable should lend a hint, as to whether it will be "clean," or "run on time." With regard to being crowded, do you remember when the soviets were standing in line for toilet paper? Or any DMV line? Well the same applies here.

  13. Drones on Why We Need Certain Consumer Drone Regulations · · Score: -1

    The guy wasn't doing anything wrong. If a damn airplane or helicopter is afraid to run into a drone, that's their own fault. The libs always want to regulate everything to death. The firefighters should just let it be...if he was buzzing around their heads or some shit then that would be understandably interfering. But he was not. This idea that we need to destroy innovation... it's unamerican. The video he shot was very cool...and could have been educational to some. I just think some people are afraid of the future.

  15. Re:pricing on Writer: "Why I Defaulted On My Student Loans" · · Score: 0

    People should be allowed the chance of higher education...provided they are willing to pay for it. Government subsidization and intervention has directly caused the lack of supply for, and high costs of education. It has also indirectly caused a whole market of basically illegitimate schools (Univ. of Pheonix anyone?) to sprout up...because the Feds are pissing down money on all of them.

  17. Education on How American Students Can Get a University Degree For Free In Germany · · Score: 1, Insightful

    This simply isn't true. People come to the US all of the time, and get their education...then move back to their country of origin and work there. Sure, not Everyone moves out of the US after studying here...but they're not forced to. And the taxes you're paying for all that FWEE education come from the working residents of Germany, from whom you'll have to continue to pilfer to fund this Utopian solution.

    "The new analysis suggests a figure of 0.116 per decade for 2000-2014, compared with 0.113 for 1950-1999." Wow, so it would take like 1000 years to raise 1 degree.

    Big Government will always desire to be the Top Dog when it comes to controlling Anything. It's ironic we find cyber-warfare now becoming a political topic, not too long after the government started taking an interest in controlling it.

  20. Re:Inexact Comparisons on Cybersecurity and the Tylenol Murders · · Score: 0

    "Imagine if Tylenol had just ignored clear signs of a break-in at their plant, and ignored the possibility that thousands or millions of capsules could have been poisoned, and decided to just pretend nothing ever happened, only for it to come to light years later, because that was roughly what has happened in many past instances of major retailers getting hacked." I find it interesting the article compares people DYING to getting hacked. It's just another ruse to push a Big Government solution onto the market, which will slow everything down, and solve nothing.

  22. Tylenol Story on Cybersecurity and the Tylenol Murders · · Score: 0

    It's obvious the private market responded quicker than the government regarding the Tylenol story. The laws passed afterwards achieved nothing. The response had already been implemented. What goes to show is that our private industry is keeping up as much as the individual companies deem necessary. If tomorrow all ATM's started being hacked easily, there would be responses nation/worldwide. But that simply isn't happening. I guess what I mean to say is, if the need is there, companies will work with each other to help achieve what is necessary. Does it pay for a company to risk its assets more than necessary? At this time some are being targeted more than others. Not Everyone is. Government will achieve nothing but slow whatever it regulates or taxes down. The underachievers work in government...not the other way around.

    "It doesn't matter how far into debt the US is, anyone can see this by comparing our debt to our GDP: the latter number is really big, while the debt is really small." You must be mentally handicapped. GDP is less per year than the entire debt: $18.5 trillion.
