  1. Taken together with Wikileaks whining over leaks, on WikiLeaks Threatens To Publish Twitter Users' Personal Info (usatoday.com) · · Score: 0

    ... anybody who still thinks that this organization is a force for good should take another hard look at their recent track record.

  2. American Oligarchs on Zuckerberg Could Run Facebook While Serving in Government Forever (techcrunch.com) · · Score: 1

    "Donald Trump is currently redefining how much ownership of business one can have as President."

    Can he also re-write the Constitution's emoluments clause with a mighty tweet?

  3. Well, that went well on Microsoft Is No Longer Selling Any Lumia Windows Phones On Its US Store (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Certainly worthwhile to kill Nokia for.

  4. This is the foreign government ... on Snowden Doc Shows NSA Blamed Russia For Hack of Murdered Journalist (thehill.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ... that now owns the White House.

    We are truly living in interesting times.

  5. Re:"Poverty" will never be eliminated on World's Largest Hedge Fund To Replace Managers With Artificial Intelligence (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    If you took a close look at Versailles you would have noticed the absence of toilets.

    Also lice back then did not differentiate between the poor and the aristocrats and everybody had them. Same goes for bed bugs.

  6. The difference now is, that in a world connected by the Internet, if anywhere law and order breaks down, it will affect the rest of the world.

  7. Re:Cannot compute... on EU's Highest Court Delivers Blow To UK Snooper's Charter (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    No, but I'll take it, you think the Magna Carta will suffice in the 21st century.

    Good luck with that!

  8. Re:Cannot compute... on EU's Highest Court Delivers Blow To UK Snooper's Charter (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    The EU parliament is in fact elected like any other parliament, and without it's approval EU commissioners can not be seated.

    Also, and it is astounding that I have to spell this out, past UK governments have of course agreed and consented to be bound by the EU human rights charter, that they are now violating.

  9. Re:This is what you get with low cost manufacturin on China Chokes On Smog So Bad That Planes Can't Land (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    "Nixon created the EPA"

    Ironic, isn't it?

    In todays GOP he be a RINO with ethical standards too high to ever amount to anything.

  10. There's a mistake in the headline on Electoral College Elects Donald Trump As President (nbcnews.com) · · Score: -1, Troll

    Electoral College Elects Vladimir Putin by Proxy as President.

    FIFY

  11. Re:NSA should be forced to warn potential victims on Newly Uncovered Site Suggests NSA Exploits For Direct Sale (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Why would you ever think that?

    "Cleetus, who has an American flag with swastikas as their profile picture ..."

    They seem real nice.

  12. Pretty much all the cool federal research that doesn't come from the DoD comes from the DoE. For instance research hubs like the Oak Ridge National Lab are funded through the DoE.

  13. Re:Of course he will sign the TPP on Why Did Japan Just Ratify The TPP? (businesstimes.com.sg) · · Score: 1

    There has been one consistent theme throughout his life: Trump is in it for Trump.

    He has no intention to be there when things collapse. This is a run and grab operation. He won't hesitate to set the world on fire if it'll make him a pretty penny.

  14. Of course he will sign the TPP on Why Did Japan Just Ratify The TPP? (businesstimes.com.sg) · · Score: 5, Interesting

    While he is cosing up to Russia, the latest insults towards China indicate that the latter will be designated as the new hostile nation #1, and the TPP is all about containing and insulating China.

  15. Re: defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Thanks for clarifying. There's so much stupidity online it's hard to tell anymore.

  16. Re:Don't worry on Uber Is Treating Its Drivers As Sweated Labor, Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    The anti-establishment mood certainly feels dark enough.

    Revolutions are rarely pretty neither for those revolting nor those on the top.

  17. Re:Don't worry on Uber Is Treating Its Drivers As Sweated Labor, Says Report (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Sad but true.

    The US is going to be so screwed when more and more of the blue collar jobs inevitably disappear.

  18. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Right, the US has the best in everything.

    Speak about an already-settled worldview.

    It should be blindingly obvious that medicine is far too large a field, to have all the best experts on everything concentrated in just one country.

    Sometimes even a country like Cuba, for instance, produces research in one area that is unmatched:

  19. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    To be clear I am talking about the sub-list of countries that beat the US on that score (and not by a small amount, top of the list has half the death rate).

  20. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    All of the other countries on that list are first world countries where non of such "miscarriage" statistics would apply.

    To say it politely AC: You are talking out of an orifice that ain't in your face, and make this shit up as you go along.

  21. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    You presume that other countries don't have to deal with immigration.

    Newsflash, Germany alone took in a million refugees last year.

    All your demonstrating here is your ability to nit-pick numbers and to rationalize why the US rulz.

  22. Re: defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Huh?

  23. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Then take Cuba out and look at all the other countries that beat you on this score. Are they all faking their numbers, too?

    And duly noted, that apparently drug addict prostitutes don't really count for you.

  24. Re:defense versus health and human services. on US Life Expectancy Declines For the First Time Since 1993 (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 2

    I guess Cuba beating you in the achieved infant death rate is not evidence enough: http://www.infoplease.com/ipa/...

  25. There goes the /. neighborhood. Another AC full of shit, unfortunately yours can't even be burned, albeit it is indicative of a flaming ahole.
