  1. Re: PROTESTING AGAINST CENSORSHIP on Tesla Employees Detail How They Were Fired, Claim Dismissals Were Not Performance Related (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    I try hard not to call people names but for you I will make an exception. You are an idiot.

    If you want to rail against global warming claims, fine. Take the time to research ocean acidification and then tell us why increased atmospheric CO2 levels are okay.

  2. Re:Network effects on What Can Be Done About Security of Debit Cards? · · Score: 1

    Congress is getting involved in luggage charges by the airlines. I'm sure if they feel there is some advantage to them they'll step up to address the need for a secure card network. You are of course correct that it won't be soon.

  3. Re:So after 28 years... on After Discovery's Launch, What's Left For the Shuttle? · · Score: 1

    "Lets see, Coalition forces dead in both Iraq and Afghanistan total 6,411 in 2010. 58,159 died in Vietnam."

    Looks like we forgot how to deal with unemployment...

    Seriously, we have let our manufacturing base mostly disappear, outsourced many of our technical roles overseas, and chosen to let other countries take the lead. If our politicians of both parties could get on the same page instead of doing their utmost to do in the other we might be able to regain our role as innovators and leaders.

    Your point is better...

    What's benevolent about Chaney?

  6. I can fix everything on James Lovelock Suggests Suspending Democracy To Save the World · · Score: 2, Funny

    Elect me benevolent dictator and I promise to limit my term. I'll step down as soon as all of the world's problems are fixed.

  7. Re:Bad news on Demand For Unmanned Aircraft Outstripping Their Capabilities · · Score: 1

    That is only one example of many when it comes to Heinlein and his observations of human nature. The state of a society as observed by the cleanliness of public facilities also comes to mind...

  8. Re:Your official guide to the Jigaboo presidency on Can Ubuntu Save Online Banking? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Do you think anyone even reads your pathetic screed?

    There, I've finished feeding the troll...

  9. I'll bet... on Best Buy Offers Bogus "3D Sync" Service · · Score: 2, Funny

    ...they don't tell you about needing to adjust the framistat (and the additional charge) until they show up for the install.

  10. Re:Do we accept this... on Wikipedia Explains Today's Global Outage · · Score: 1

    Possibly lame attempt at humor on my part. I'm more worried about ocean acidification as a more immediate threat.

    ...as proof of global warming?

  12. Re:In 5 years on SSD Price Drops Signaling End of Spinning Media? · · Score: 1

    Tape also has the advantage of weighing significantly less than drives which is a factor to be considered when storage off site is required.

  13. Re:Wikipedia tells me... on How Students Use Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Those who use wikipedia wisely already know to carefully assess the content due to the nature of it's entry creation/editing. The political leanings of its founders certainly can't matter with that in mind.

  14. Re:The big question on Scottish Wave Energy Plans Move Forward · · Score: 4, Funny

    The electricity generated will power devices that shed heat, the heat adds to global warming, the global warming increases intensity of hurricanes and cyclones, the hurricanes and cyclones stir the oceans...no problem!

  15. Re:The advantage of Trains over planes and boats on China To Connect Its High-Speed Rail To Europe · · Score: 2, Funny

    "Trains are safer than ships on the open ocean."

    Sorry, had to do it...all trains are unsafe on the open ocean while ships are at least built for it.

  16. Re:A high speed railway on China To Connect Its High-Speed Rail To Europe · · Score: 1

    I would agree with you except for the amount of our debt they own.

    My Sinclair and Apple ][+ feel old. I'll be young forever now that I'm divorced.
