  1. Re:So says the religious guy. on Santorum Calls Democrats 'Anti-Science' · · Score: 1

    So, then, the buget deficits of GWB are the problems of the Democrats and ... wait that won't work for you either.

    So, the budget surpluses of Clinton are the result of Republicans ... no that won't work for you either.

    And GHWB, and RWR, .... oh, lets go to Jimmy Carter who had all Democrats ... wow he must be the best president EVER! ... no, wait that doesn't work either.

    The point is, you make your bed, are you willing to live there? Probably not.

    That, and lives in Ivory Tower of "Theory", and not "Reality". That is something my dad taught me when I was young, "In theory, theory and practice are the same, in practice, they are not".

    Taking a car ride, via rented car and paying for gas is cheaper and faster than taking transit system to my mom's house. And by faster, I mean from 9 hours driving, to nearly 48 hours of traveling (no beds). We don't have good transportation system besides Cars and really fast trains (called Airplanes), except in a few cities (Chicago, NY/NJ, SF to name a few). And those only work well if you live or are staying in them.

    Luckly, I don't live in crowded city and my daily commute is maybe 7 minutes. Oh, and by bus it would take about 2 hours and three connections to get close. I can walk to work faster than mass transit.

    When they are in my house about to rape my wife/daughter/dog/goldfish.

  4. I'm a libertarian, so "leftwing/rightwing" labels tend not to apply so nicely to me. Leftwingers are just as totalitarian as rightwingers, they are just totalitarian on different issues. The problem is, they don't realize it, and all the casting of stones eventually breaks their houses.

    Except that the Wiki entry doesn't actually say "cigarettes were healthy" in any way shape or form. That is an editorialized addition that is not in evidence. And during the period of time (go back and check) people were claiming secondhand smoke was worse than actually smoking.The Anti Smoking crowd was making up its own BS at that same time. I guess that goes unnoticed and unmentioned because smoking is nasty (it is)

    People lie, exaggerate and otherwise stretch the truth to support their position. Shocking ... I know. The point being, there is no reason to exaggerate unless you're wrong. ;)

    If I were the hunters, I'd sue the helicopter people for destruction of property, namely by flying their craft into my bird shot.

    Yes. Citizen's arrest and all that. Or do you think that the "authority" starts and stops at a badge?

  9. Re:If they hadn't brought their drone on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    I'd be more concerned with stupid helicopters with rotating blades crashing into my car, as the pilots (remote or otherwise) lost control of their craft and crashed it into the road.

    But hey, you know, something that actually happened verses something "gun" related and sounding "scary" is always more dangerous.

    Now, add in RAPID releases of new "versions". Add a feature, release a new version. Have your software phone home to get upgrade notifications. That way, everytime you upgrade, they are notified they are using Pirate/Home version. Now you're not just nagging them, you're informing them of upgrades they can purchase.

    Actually, they already are on the hook. The stock value is penny or two. People holding stock in SCO have lost everything, as they should.

    What you're complaining about is that they can't lose more than everything.

    'She came home with her whole sandwich I had packed, because she chose to eat the nuggets on the lunch tray, because they put it in front of her,' her mother said.

    They told a four year old kid that her lunch was "bad". What four year old would eat it after that? You obviously never had a four year old kid.

    Second, you never answered the questions, what were the fried nuggets supplementing in the lunch? Yeah .. I thought so.

  17. Re:BOGUS STORY on School Sends Child's Lunch Home After Determining it Unhealthy · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just a twisted reply by the usual leftwing knee jerks who think that School Personnel are always right and parents are always idiots.

    I read the whole story, both the school and the mother's response, and that is NOT what happened. The School Person REPLACED the whole lunch with an ALTERNATE version, not just "supplemented". AND even if you wanted to Supplement the kids lunch what was lacking (please answer) that fried nuggets was needed???????

    If you can't answer the question, then you're just as ill informed as the Meat Police were.

    But hey, don't let READING the full story to get distort your leftwing nanny state.

    Sorry, THAT is not a solution. Refusing to fly is conceding they have the power and authority to do the invasive scans and pat downs. They do not.

    Look, the people are afraid of their government. THEY FEAR the very thing they are supposed to be protected from. THIS is the problem! Capitulating is not the answer.

    Put it on a VLAN, and Make HTTP(S) Go straight to the web server and only the web server. There are portal WAPs that do just that. Securing the tablet from running anything else would be as easy as installing a custom version of CyanogenMod or similar. Heck even Apple might be able to make an iPad that did just that.

    I'd also tether the thing to the room, or it will walk away.
