  1. Re:Hmm on How the GOP (and the Tea Party) Helped Kill SOPA · · Score: 1

    Of course they are sleazy. Anyone who admires either Party ought to be hit in the face with a shovel for being a chump.

    Both Parties are scum, so PLAYING THEM AGAINST EACH OTHER is what to do.

    But THEY GOT the bonuses.

    Fuck the companies who ASKED for what happened to them. As for investors, don't invest. Problem solved.

  4. Re:So what? on Mitt Romney, Robotics, and the Uncanny Valley · · Score: 1

    Infected with superstition from an early age, the only reason Americans aren't all "Christian Taliban" is brave resistance from Free Thinkers of various stripes since before the Revolution.

    It is delectable to contemplate the sinfulness of others that one may both condemn it and fap with lascivious, vicarious joy.

    "Ohhh. BAD Clinton! Intern....dress...UNF!

    That's the short version. I defy anyone modding this down to contradict it with FACTS instead.

    Not all military assets are "prepared" for every eventuality, which is why "old school" ordnance still works too!

    Not every military opponent will have all units fitted with gear which will allow them to spot the beam.

    If they try to do that, they spend a shitload of money they could have used for OTHER equipment.

    Your bias is showing.

    ...that the purpose of sites like PB is purely to spread content without paying the producers. There are some tiny percentage of legal files more by accident than intent. They don't affect the business model.

    What such sites do is help "chum the market" with content people should not want in the first place.

    Want to fight the power? Don't run free Windows either or avoid it as much as possible. Ditto all other shit corporate content.

    Free crack is still crack.

    If they are exonerated it would be no problem to reload most of the (keeping it real) warez and pron.

  16. Re:Germany - USA on America's Future Is In Software, Not Hardware · · Score: 0

    It's because of German values, which are overwhelmingly superior to US values when it comes to skilled trades, WORK ETHIC, and education.

    Americans are slugs who only have white trash pride, nigger pride, (insert ethnicity) pride, superstition, and vicious ignorance for a culture.

    Americans WANT to be fat ignorant dumbfucks, they relentlessly re-elect the same masters who shit down their throats, and they are getting what most of them deserve.

    Sucks to be a non-shit American, but the rest of the country is so toxic it deserves everything it gets.

    The further the US gets from it's EUROPEAN roots, the worse US society becomes.

  19. Re:The U.S. government is EXTREMELY corrupt. on Pentagon Drafts Kids To Build Drones and Robots · · Score: 1

    "The U.S. government has 6 times the percentage of citizens in prison as European countries."

    That doesn't make the government violent.

    The US is diverse and that has both very good and very bad aspects. The only way to control crime is to lock up lots of repeat offenders and throw away the key.

    Europe has Europeans, and while immigration will gradually erode its cultures Europe isn't nearly as infested with humans from failed cultures as the US.

    Slavery ensured the US would remain a violent country for centuries because every enslaving empire is contaminated by those it enslaves. Just as African countries have accomplished nothing in modern times, African diaspora have accomplished very little. Much of the US is like Liberia for the same reasons.

    "That's the thing with international law and diplomacy, you can't easily turn around and say "We don't like it anymore, so screw you". Well, not without screwing up your international reputation and ability to strike future agreements. It needs to be done carefully."

    That's the "wuss" option. Power and position exist, and countries can do their will if their people have the balls to back the government.

    Example:
    Nationalising foreign businesses. The trouble of a world infested by law is that it hasn't made the world a better place. Power is still required to ENFORCE law, but law facilitates a degree of micromanagement power does not.

    Fortunately the trades are despised by the US education system so the shortage of tradespeople (women can weld boilers and pipe too!) keeps wages high.
