  1. Re:Those poor rats on Trained Rats Map Minefields With GPS · · Score: 1

    Woodrow Wilson (leader of Progressive Movement and Democrat) got the U.S. involved in World War I. Franklin Delano Roosevelt (D) got the U.S. into World War II, and authorized hydrogen bombs to be dropped on Hiroshima and Nagasaki. John F. Kennedy (D) got us into Vietnam (and authorized the bungled Bay of Pigs invasion of Cuba). Lyndon Baines Johnson (D) escalated the conflict in Vietnam. Hmm, looks like your left-wing meme is breaking down.

  2. Re:It's all about the money on The Art of Elections Forecasting · · Score: 1

    People only bitch about "too much money in politics" when their candidate doesn't win.

  3. Re:kids are worried ... on High School Students Sue Federal Gov't Over Global Warming · · Score: 1

    >"scientifically supported"!?!? My ass! Computer models are the only thing that "climate scientists" have to work with. They have to hard-code certain assumptions, which they set in order to produce their own worst-case scenario to generate headlines, publicity, and more funding. The scientists do not release their climate model code as open-source projects so it can be peer-reviewed by programmers; and their mindless, willing sycophants in the press report computer models as imminent events. The IPCC report is riddled with claims of horrible near-term consequences that simply have not occurred, and the U.N. then edits that report to remove the incorrect assertions (for example: Glaciers will be totally melted in the Himalayas; There will be 500,000,000 refugees due to global warming). Hell, they have to change their own terminology from "global warming" to "climate change" because the majority of people simply do not buy it. Pro-AGW-Theorists have been claiming for decades that if we didn't do something "right now" then it would be too late. Well, they have been saying it for so long that if they are right then we are past the point of no return. Every time this topic is brought up on /. I see a group of usually rational skeptics become the suckers that swallow this garbage theory hook-line-and-sinker.

  4. Re:Class Action Lawsuit on Universities Hold Transcripts Hostage Over Loans · · Score: 1

    Worse than that, it makes lawyers rich at the expense of taxpayers who are the ultimate backer of student loans; And many of those taxpayers have never incurred student loan debt.

  5. Re:Numbers Are Awesome! on European e-ID Announced · · Score: 1

    Naw, it'll be on your right hand, or forehead, see Revelation 13:16-18.

  6. Re:Hulu, or Hulu Plus on Hulu To Require Viewers To Have Cable Subscriptions · · Score: 1

    I was looking for a link to a press release from Hulu that would confirm what I read as being nothing more than an assertion of a reporter, or at best speculation on why the hedge fund Providence Equity Partners had sold its holdings of Hulu. The author writes that "authentication...could take years to complete". That doesn't sound like media and cable companies in a hurry to keep their cable users from defecting.

  7. Re:The next step? on Expect Mandatory 'Big Brother' Black Boxes In All New Cars From 2015 · · Score: 1

    My problem with this story is that it comes from InfoWars which is run by Alex Jones. In my opinion Alex Jones is a troll for the tinfoil hat crowd, and not a reliable source of objective reporting (but then who really is nowadays!?).

    Yeah, we already tried this experiment...and ended up with Obama. LOLz

  9. Seriously, this story was modded-up that much...!? on MacBook Pro Fragrance Created · · Score: 1

    ...as to make it to the /. main page. Stupid!

  10. Re:Not to be rude about it, but on Medicaid Hack Update: 500,000 Records and 280,000 SSNs Stolen · · Score: 1

    It also allows criminals to fraudulently bill Medicaid for services, prescriptions, and equipment that were never delivered. See news stories like this and this.
