  1. New engineering opportunity! on Is Cockroach Milk the Ultimate Superfood? (globalnews.ca) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Heading to the patent office to get a jump on the itsy-bitsy teeny-weenie milking machines that will be required by the trillions on the industrial scale cockroach farms......

  2. Six seconds is the minimum following distance for a semi-truck (articulated lorry?) following on the freeway at 55mph, (88kph) as that gives you enough time to stop the vehicle in an emergency. It takes approximately four seconds to bring a 40,000 lb. (18,143kg) semi-truck to an emergency stop from 55mph on dry roads with good brakes and tires.

    I trained drivers for a decade. Six seconds is enough time to stop a semi at 55mph, but not enough to stop a car at 45mph???? Six seconds in a car isn't even an emergency stop for Christs sake.

    Incompetence reigns supreme.

  4. Re:Some context on People Hate Canada's New 'Amber Alert' System (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 2

    We get the alerts here, but they have a much finer grain. I have only gotten two in the last year, because the city is split up into quadrants (the same boundaries the police and fire and bus lines use, why re-invent the wheel?) and the alerts only go to those areas, bordering areas are alerted only when the situation is close to their border. They do put them on the overhead information signs citywide, but the audio alerts are area-specific.

  10. Re: Turn coat on Hacker Adrian Lamo Dies At 37 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump should be kissing the media's ass. They covered every fart he made, for free! The media got Trump elected.
    He got ten times the coverage of any candidate, just by being a bigger ass than anyone else. If the other candidates had been granted equal time, there would of been no time for regularly scheduled programming.

    As to the Bengazi hearings, the improper server was a 'meh' moment at best, and had nothing to do with the (IIRC) nine witch hunt investigations that uncovered nothing and wasted millions, but that's apparently OK, as long as it's the 'party of fiscal responsibility' doing it.

  11. Re: Turn coat on Hacker Adrian Lamo Dies At 37 (zdnet.com) · · Score: 2

    Did you complain as loudly over the several years and multiple hearings over Bengazi that wasted far more money than this?

  12. When programming your Russian Bot, remember that it is conservatives that don't like olive or darker skin. Conservatives claim Liberals want to open the floodgates to the world, Conservatives want to close them to all but the lightest skins, you know like Norway. Pakistanis are too Arabic for Conservative sensibilities.
    Trump would consider Pakistan a 'shithole country.'

  13. I think he's referring to the 2009 incident where Amazon deleted paid copies of Animal Farm from Kindles because the publisher did not have the distribution rights to that novel.

    Plus if the Alphabet Soup agencies really wanted to, nothing is totally secure, and if your security is too frustrating to crack then a five dollar wrench works equally as good on a skull or a hard drive.

  14. This is it exactly.
    It's entertainment, and should be looked upon that way.
    It's fantasy, but some people are so emotionally dull that they can't handle that and insist everything must be grounded in reality, space battles seem a bit dull without sound, gun kata's are silly but fun to watch, as are burning old cars flying fifty feet into the air off a Havana pier.

    However, since the internet has provided a place for everyone to express their opinion, it has now become easier to know whom NOT to invite to a party.....!

    Followed by eleven tax increases to control the deficit when revenues and growth did not meet expectations.
    (Yes, some of them were closures of gigantic tax loopholes, and broadening of the tax base, but it still amounted to the largest peacetime tax increase in history.)
