  1. Re:"all manner of biofuel alternatives"... on NASA Fires Up Jet Fuel That Tastes Like Chicken · · Score: 1

    "Interesting the value that we humans put on animal lives: Miles per chicken."

    Chickens care even less except when it's their chick or in the case of roosters, one of their harem.

    Chickens find chicken quite tasty, and though our domestic chickens are bred for docility kill each other now and then for nothing much.

    Don't forget the greatest amount of fat is located in Washington D.C..
    All politicians should serve four terms: 2 in office, 1 in prison and one as jet fuel to truly serve their country.

    'cos you'd get a LOT more fat from rendering down the average American kid than you would from a chicken.

    Only in terms of individual output. When you look at the net gain, it takes too long to grow the kid, and it costs an absurd amount to overfeed him.

    Yes, think of all the chickens that kid would eat, chickens that could have been rendered directly into jet fuel. Not a very green solution.

    I shudder to think that soon the whole world will smell like the alley behind Kentucky Duck.

    Feed the homeless to the hungry and render the hungry for biofuel. FTFY

  3. Re:Hmm... on What Happens To Data When a Cloud Provider Dies? · · Score: 1

    there are no government rules or regulations specific to data managed by cloud storage providers.

    While there is most likely a solution to this problem, it does not lie in government regulation.

    That's what the airline industry said, same goes for the bankster industry, as well as the oil industry, oh, and don't forget the utility industry and commercialized penal system.
    And last but not least, an unregulated government. The voters should demand a balanced budget, term limits, reasonable campaign funding, accountability of office-holders, the outlawing of corporate special interest groups, a re-affirmation of the separation of church and state and a separation of business and state.

    Not if the jackbooted fed shitheads and their Christian lapdogs in the lobbying groups^W^W churches keep trying to fight against what states voted for.

    Remember, we fought a war over this before and the federal government won.

    To register for medical marijuana is to register for a federal DEA bust while the CIA brings cocaine and heroin into the country with impunity.

  8. Re:Aliens? on Allen Telescope Array Shut Down · · Score: 1

    The U.S. doesn't even care about illegal aliens - let alone extraterrestrial ones.

    I guess the space aliens didn't grease the palms of the "intelligent" politicians.
    If money is the problem, tell the scientists to declare war on them, there seems to be more taxpayer funded loot for war than ever.

  9. Why? I'll tell you why. on Why Science Is a Lousy Career Choice · · Score: 1

    When train wrecks like Lindsey Lohan and Charlie Sheen are the role models of today, what would you expect?
    When sports figures make more than teachers. When dealing drugs earns you more than McDonalds.
    When joining the military will get you killed. severely fucked up or hated by half the world. May all that is, help you if your own people hate you (like they did during the Viet Nam war).
    When career criminal politicians tell you to change the system from within, while they make millions screwing the voters. When businesses consider people nothing more than expendable containers.
    When the death statistics for marijuana come from law enforcement shootings while Big Pharma pushes their drugs that come with warnings that your asshole might fall out, your brain will rot or that there may be a slight case of death at cost prohibitive prices.
    When greed over-rules common (most uncommon thing on the planet) sense.
    I could rant all day, but who would care.
    I consider thisto be what role models should be.
    I leave this final message to all the status quo keepers.

    Bottom line, all channels distill down to FAP.com.

    The issue of whether or not a voting machine can be hacked is rather important.

    Diebold (and other) voting machines use XP, last I heard. That's about the most hacked/compromised OS ever made. So yeah, it matters, and no, I won't go die.

    It doesn't really matter when the ballot boxes can be stuffed with unverifiable absentee ballots. TFTFY.

    My password is not compromised since I do have an online bank account, and I never will. Secondly, my debit card is on another bank account at another bank. Thirdly, I only write checks to myself thereby eliminating any processing delays. Rarely do I write checks to third parties, but sometimes I do. Yes it's a pain in the ass, yet, my assets are secure from most entities other than the bank and government. Fourthly, I do not discuss my steganographic practices, period!

    It's illegal if the gov't does it too. They can't "authorized" illegal activity, and "following orders" is not a legal defense.
