  1. Re:Get off my lawn on Property Rights In Space? · · Score: 1

    I already bought all the best bits of moon. Now get off my land!

    That's interesting, America, treaties, and get off my land.You might want to talk to some Native Americans about that.
    Treaties, like locks only keep honest people at bay. The arrogant, self-centered, "I'm entitled" types only understand the end of a gun or the end of a rope.

  2. Re:What's the percentage on Most Kickstarter Projects Fail To Deliver On Time · · Score: 2

    of non-kickstarter projects that miss deadlines?

    I worked in an industry that believed in "Faster, Cheaper, Better". It sounds too good to be true, however, if you add "Pick Two", it makes all the sense in the world.

  3. Re:It's "Zoe", not "Zof" on Zoe Lofgren Wants To Slow Down Domain Seizures By ICE & DOJ · · Score: 1

    Absolutely. The US Congress contains the best and the brightest graduates of law school that we currently...

    Bought dogs have leashes.
    Leashes have handlers.
    Handlers have people to answer to. Once you find "these" people, the inquisition should begin

  4. Re:This is a distraction from the real issue. on TSA (Finally) Studying Health Effects of Body Scanners · · Score: 1

    The real issue with these was never the health effects. That was just an extra thing that privacy advocates tossed in there to lend additional weight to their arguments. The primary argument against these things is the fact that they are a violation of privacy. Arguing the health issue just weakens objections, when it gets defeated.

    These are not the truths we are looking for, move along.

    Yes, that will fix things - unions. lol.

    And Star Wars shows how not to be a repressive government. 1984 is not just a book, it's a blueprint.

  6. Re:Screw tech. on Ask Slashdot: Setting Up a Summer Camp Tech Center? · · Score: 1

    Nobody is saying that they will spend 100% of their time on tech. Summer camps have plenty of physical activities. Most likely there is already a block of time set aside for "computer skills", and the submitter is just looking for the best way to fill that time...

    Under the NDAA, this could be considered a cyber-terrorist training camp and subject to a Predator strike.
    Just saying..

  7. Re:This can be a good thing! on Music Industry Suits Could Bankrupt Pirate Party Members · · Score: 1

    This will open a precedent.

    Just think : "Individuals are being charged for felonies committed by the organization".

    Microsoft, Exxon, MPAA, RIAA et all !!!!

    Man, I can't hold myself in the chair, this can be great!!!

    Just think, a morally bankrupt organization trying to financially bankrupt another. Neil Young may have something to say about that.

    Yeah right. Then check is in the mail. I really do love you. I won't come in your mouth.
    These myopic asshats don't know the difference between pot or hemp any more than they know the difference between shit and shinola. Besides, look how lucrative alcohol was during prohibition.

  10. inventions for the inventors on Should Inventions Be Automatically Owned By Your Employer? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am sure that Nikola Tesla, Philo Farnsworth, Stanley Meyer would have other ideas. If employers are so smart, then they would not need employees. There are way too many thieves, liars, and greedy people who do very little to earn complete and total control of someone's invention. The mere fact that money is offered, with strings attached, to fund an invention is not enough for complete ownership. If an invention succeeds, the inventor should have no less than 55% of controlling interest. If it should fail, an inventor should not have more than 55% of the financial burden when there are investors staking their money. In any gamble there are risks on both sides.
    How many inventions are/ were shelved because it would upset the financial status quo of the greedy. Pure genius is not bought, traded nor stolen. It is a god given gift. Most inventors would like to live modestly while giving to humanity. Those entrepreneurs who live in the obscenity of avarice eventually get what they deserve.
    It's been over 100 years and still the truth of Tesla's inventions is protected by "national security", why? The powers that were are holding tight to these truths and yet, they are still coming into the light of day.
    This government had the big three auto manufacturers over a barrel. They could have been told to put on the road, an automobile seating four adults in safety and comfort, with sufficient power, and getting over 80 miles per gallon, at a reasonable price or get out of the business. What did these CONgressMen do? They threw taxpayer money at the big three for bonuses while the taxpayers lost their jobs, pensions, homes and futures. And then these asshats wonder why the American people are pissed at them, hmmm.

    Dollar coins at the strip club sounds both dangerous and hilarious.

    If you've ever been to Olongapo, you would know exactly how to use dollar coins. I'm a fool for the city.

    And about as reliable.

    The only thing reliable is the banksters death grip on debt slavery. The safest place for money is your pocket, in a land of avarice.

    Money never interested Tesla, only cared for what it took to build his "stuff". Tesla's plan was free power for everybody at any place in the world. Not a good thing in a commercial world :}.

    As if the business world, as you call it, looked out for anyone else, other than itself unless of course interest in others ensured its own self-interest.
