  1. I'm Alive... on 10 Confirmed Dead In Shooting at Oregon's Umpqua Community College · · Score: 1

    I have a gun. Many guns. I've never fired at any Human Being. I'v e fired at lots of paper targets. I grew up with a deer hunting dad. Guns were things that would kill you. I choose to keep my gun. Because my gun had not hurt anybody. My gun will {WILL} protect my life from people that wish to take it. I'd rather have it and not need it. I am a peaceful soul. We cannot keep drugs and cell-phones from prisons and schools.What makes you think that we can keep guns out of the criminals hands? I beg you to be sincere. I'd like to protect my family from the elments that would take away my freedom that would do such.
    I love you all....

  2. Nothing is like the brain on Why Not Every New "Like the Brain" System Will Prove Important · · Score: 1

    Because nothing is "like the brain"

  3. How effective is effective? on Chernobyl's Sarcophagus, Redux · · Score: 0

    Can we build something that will shield the reactor that is more effective that just leaving it open?

    Serious question...

  4. Market Share on Report: 99 Percent of New Mobile Threats Target Android · · Score: 5, Funny

    When Apple gets the market share that Android has, you'll see that Apple gets as many attacks as Android does.

  5. Re:Simple on Why Speed-Reading Apps Don't Work · · Score: 1

    What if you're reading AND juggling?

  6. Re:Fuck that guy. on Jesse Jackson To Take On Silicon Valley's Lack of Diversity · · Score: 5, Funny

    PS before the trolls chime in with their 'fuh fuh dur yer a racist fuh fuh" nonsense, I will have you know that I own not one, but three color TVs.

    You mean: "TVs of color".

  7. Re:What are they going to ban next? on House Committee Approves Bill Banning In-Flight Phone Calls · · Score: 1

    The skeptical part of me figures it's just grandstanding on the part of the politicians pushing it through.

    Yeah, "look, we're listening to the common people".

    Our legislators are too ignorant to know what should be a law and what shouldn't.

  8. "Why so many 'malfunctions"? on Cops With Google Glass: Horrible Idea, Or Good One? · · Score: 1

    I think Google will hate this since there will be massive reports from the cops that the Google Glass malfunctioned.

  9. Don't know why it took so long to figure this out...
    They were all in the same tent no?

    One of the girls yelled "Spider!" or "Mouse!" and panicked, knocking down the tent. Someone cuts the tent open to get out. They all flee, but it's dark and everyone gets turned around, not able to find there way back to the tent
    Seriously, once you have some kind of panic event the rest of the events seem to be quite ordinary.

  10. Re:Something has to give, buddy on US Issues 30-Year Eagle-Killing Permits To Wind Industry · · Score: 1

    It's a harm that can't be fairly enumerated...

  11. Re:Something has to give, buddy on US Issues 30-Year Eagle-Killing Permits To Wind Industry · · Score: 1

    You don't need to breathe as much as you do. FACT.

    Reduce your breathing for the benefit of all...

  12. Re:Point being on ATF Tests Show 3D Printed Guns Can Explode · · Score: 1

    "With taxes I buy oppression".

  13. Re:Great... on Gunman Opens Fire At LAX · · Score: 1

    This ^ is what I'd like to explore.
    Why does the media and the general populace get this so wrong?
    It's not an arcane distinction. It's basic mechanics. One trigger pull, one shot.
    Huh...

  14. WTF on Largest US Power Storing Solar Array Goes Live · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I was wondering why my solar panels suddenly went dark.

    Damn.

  15. This is somewhat obvious. on A Teletherapy Startup Removes Barriers To Mental Health Care · · Score: 1

    I will postulate that online therapy is less intimidating then face to face therapy and therefore, more productive. In the future I will try to post something that is more controversial, I promise.

  16. Infrastructure on Tesla Working On Autonomous Cars: Musk Wants Teslas With Auto-Pilot · · Score: 1

    I think there will be lots of infrastructure required before we'll see autonomous cars.
    Not an engineer, so go nuts...

  17. Re:Still pissed on NYC Is Tracking RFID Toll Collection Tags All Over the City · · Score: 1

    The number of skeletons in [most famous person]'s closet is usually directly proportional to how sanctimonious or pious they act in public.

    Or:
    "The more the preacher preached, the faster we counted the silverware"

  18. Re:creating the internet on Gore's Staff Says He Was Misquoted On Hexametric Hurricanes · · Score: 1

    Sure, but I bet he'll deny anything to do with the PMRC. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parents_Music_Resource_Center. Fuckin' Tipper.

    Ha hahahahahahahahaha.....

  20. Re:Reboot reboot REBOOT on Omni Magazine To Reboot · · Score: 1

    No, you're wrong. Anything that can be 'booted' can be 'rebooted'.

  21. Define "driving" on Talking On the Phone While Driving Not So Dangerous After All · · Score: 1

    Part of the problem is we're using a term like "driving" to include everything from 80 mph bumper to bumper madness to "miles from nowhere" endless, flat, straight, deserted, try to stay awake land.
    Like everything else, let's be precise about what we're talking about.

  22. Re:Missing the point. on In UK, Google Glass To Be Banned While Driving · · Score: 1

    Keep in mind that a safer self-driving car only has to be better than the current batch of drivers and that is not a terribly high bar.

    I disagree, any provider of a "human-free" system will have to be near-perfect else "I'll sue your ass".

  23. Can't solve this one! on NSA Admits Searching "3 Hops" From Suspects · · Score: 1

    Let's see you find the killer of the witness in Whitey Bulger's trial! Won't happen.

  25. The Last Time on To Hack Back Or Not To Hack Back? · · Score: 1

    The last time I got hacked, I wrote some software that went in and messed up some centrifuge thingys of the host country my hacker was from.

    That'll teach 'em.
