  1. Re:What a load of bollocks on New Bill Pushes For Warrants To Access Cloud Data · · Score: 2

    I've been watching that on the news. It seems to happen each year. I'm not too sure why people continue to build in a tornado belt or why they build wooden structures there. I thought houses would be made to stand up to a 100+ year event in that area. If that's possible / feasible. I'm sure a tornado does more damage and has way more power than I give it credit for.

    My first guess it that it's very cheap land so poor people can afford it and they build within their means. So it just lands more woe on the poor as it wipes them all out, again.In the UK they drained and then built cheap housing in floodplains. Oddly nature didn't care much either and as soon as it got the chance it flooded them again.

    As populations expand we'll meet more and more natural disasters. It will be the poor that get fucked over as they can't afford protection and get forced into the outskirts.

    They put in Anti-terrorism legislation here in the UK for searching people. Soon everyone became a terrorist and the search laws get used by the local council to look in your bins to make sure your recycling.
    Apart from a few poor people being blown up, (which I'm very sorry for) - most "terror" and "evil" acts are done by the name of the government. Can I have my freedom back? I'm not bothered about being blown up that much any more. Means I don't have to keep paying tax.

    Proper citation? If you are not going to go look for it, then how would you know if the answer posted is correct or not?
    It was Kirk: Captain's log, stardate 3715.3
    In this case I don't think it matters who said it or when. The point is still a valid one.
    If you wanted to correct him and say some other person said that and then give a citation, go for it.
    Don't give a citation..

  14. What a stupid question. on Alabama Nuclear Reactor Gets 'F' Grade · · Score: 1

    A site was inspected, a problem was found and a rating issued.
    How else should this work????
    With any luck, the problem will be fixed or the reactor will closed down until it is fit again.
    I hope all correcting work will be monitored.
    I guess if Alabama gets hit by a global axis moving event it may not work too well.

    I think the US has more to worry from the Hanford site; but the clean up expertise must be phenomenal.

    It's that sort of lefty talk that is the problem with this solar system. You do know we have a huge problem with people remembering what they've played and then thinking about it later. That person has taken a copy of our product and is enjoying it again without paying the correct remuneration.
    Of course I support the "at birth implant" lobbyists, it's the best course of action until we develop the much needed fetal augmentation. I only hope we get the research funding bill approved.

    - Also, thanks to the twonk that modded my first comment flamebait. That Aspergers must make blatant satire hard to spot.
