  4. Re:These are the people that most citizens depend on NYPD Detective Accused of Hiring Email Hackers · · Score: 1

    To protect and serve, as the motto goes ; this is why all public servants must be held to a stricter code of ethics with harsher penetalties. It goes for police, judges, politicians. So much power and trust is given to them that to dishonor that trust should carry a very stiff fine: your pension, house, finances and freedom for a very long time.

    Um, you do realize that radiation is everywhere.

    But thanks to the people who brought you Fukashima, the background levels and fission fragments now put everyone in a whole new ballgame. A game where only the radioactive get to play.

  6. Re:Marijuana? on Possible Graphene Alternative Made From Hemp Waste · · Score: 1

    I wonder, if marijuana plants can be used for same... A close enough relative to hemp for the latter to be banned in some places...

    Hemp has a longer history than this country, in fact, its documents written on hemp. Only when Hearst was suckered into buying acres of trees, did he start his campaign to switch from hemp fiber to wood pulp fiber. Let's not get started with Anslinger and his marriage into the DuPont family where hemp medicinals were pushed out for oil based chemical medicines. Watch TV ads for all the "legal" drug pushing pharmaceutical companies with all the caveats like blindness, your asshole falling out and, oh yeah, a slight case of death. Don't worry, the FDA is taking all the bribes... er.. I mean donations it can to bring you the safest drugs your health care system can bleed you dry of.

    HEMP FOR VICTORY!

  8. Re:No. Bad Conclusion. Bad. on Carnivorous Plant Ejects Junk DNA · · Score: 1

    Wrong! Most of junk DNA is... wait for it... JUNK!

    Or is it a place holder until non-junk DNA becomes available?

  9. Re:Is it bribery? on Did Internet Sales Tax Backers Bribe Congress? (Video) · · Score: 1

    Is it bribery or do companies donate more money to politicians that will agree with their policies?

    FTFY

    [ BTW, The answer to both is "yes". ]

    Is it bribery that politicians hear the jingle of 30 pieces of silver while the voting constituency loses their jobs, homes, pensions, healthcare, future? These united States of America are under attack by the very leadership that was voted in and some would believe in a dubious manner. Once again, is it bribery or treason?

  10. Re:Too big to jail on Data Leak Spurs Huge Offshore Tax Evasion Investigation · · Score: 1

    You forgot corrupt lawyers, judges, politicians, businessmen unless you piled them into conmen catagory.

    As for simply paying your taxes, I agree, if taxes were just, a small per centage across the board, not used for war or conquest, it didn't support a corrupt Executive, Judicial, Legislative government. Too many people are in need of proper food, water, housing, medical care, useful education.

  11. Re:Gun control however... on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 1

    True gun control is to hit the target with one shot to take it down, thereby making the second shot count. One shot, one kill is for war where everyone is the enemy.

  12. Re:Gun control however... on California Lawmaker Wants 3-D Printers To Be Regulated · · Score: 0

    I admit that guns are more efficient.

    Knives can be just as efficient when used properly, it's just that you need a different approach to do it. Guns instill a sense of invulnerability. Whereas knives force stealth, cunning, quietude as well as delivery, up front and personal.

    Not really, all you gotta do is pay off Eric Witholder and get your guns fast and furiously.

    If they're going to expect Apple to spend time doing their work for them are they are least compensating them for the time and energy necessary for this?

    Sure they're being compensated, by not being placed on "no fly" lists, surveilled by drones/predator drones, felt up by TSA, or dealing with the attitude inspectors at the department of human sacrifice. What did you expect, privately printed non-redeemable fiat currency?

    Sex, drugs and fartgas. All the electromagnetic spectrum should be given to CUBA for radio broadcasts to enlighten the poor suffering people living under the despotic murderous rule of Wall Street.

    Obviously, someone is paying these CONgressMEN to push for the sale, my questions are who and for what purpose?

  16. Re:If your group is on IRS Admits Targeting Conservative Groups During 2012 Election · · Score: 1

    If your groups is named after the most famous tax revoult in the history of the country I would expect the tax man to pay special interest to it.

    This is clearly a case of abuse of authority by a government agency intervening in the political process for the benefit of the current administration. You've got a pretty big evidentiary burden if you want to try to justify that.

    The sad truth is the IRS is a private company that doesn't give a rats ass about you, unless you don't pay your taxes.

  20. Re:but we need more trades / tech school like trad on New 'Academic Redshirt' For Engineering Undergrads at UW · · Score: 1

    but we need more trades / tech school like trading the old college system moves to slow and is to long of a time to keep up with the fast moving tech field and people also need more hands on classes as well.

    Trade schools are fine and all, however, engineers should also have years of practical experience before getting their degrees, just like medical doctors. Book learning is just that, learning from books. Being a field engineer means being in the field where there are differences between what the book shows you and what the data from the field shows you. Just because you are working with a 4 to 20 milliamp feedback circuit doesn't mean you can achieve 4 to 20 milliamps ( this is an ideal) my experience has shown me it's more like 7 to 18.5 milliamps. Your values may vary according to circuit workmanship, humidity, environment, whether the people around you give a shit or not.

    Yes, the guy should totally judge his employability by a theoretical programming robot that doesn't currently exist.

    Why not? The corporate yesmen and the bean counters have. And the botton line is that the older you are the less bullshit you will believe and accept without question. The younger you are, the less you will work for, the longer you will work and you will accept any and every thing you are told just to please your overlords. You didn't learn shit about how people were treated at the turn of the twentieth century and your overlords want to keep it that way.

    This is the first time that I've seen someone talk about President Obama and Executive Orders in a way that makes sense.

    If you think it makes sense, then you have it wrong. Executive orders will be the downfall of this Republic.
    ...to better serve the American people... To whom are we being served? Self-serving traitors serving the people? How laughable is that? It seems to me that if a machine reads what is in front of it, then a human is not necessary, especially if people are to be enslaved. And, if machines can read then it is possible for them to write as well. What will these machines write and for whom, the NSA, CIA, DHS ?

    It's obvious that the confiscation of firearms is virtually impossible but, buying all the ammunition they can purchase with your tax money will make ammunition for those same firearms very expensive. This in turn will cause the remaining ammo to skyrocket in price, guess who's going to sell that ammunition to you? Would you buy it, trust that it will work?
