    it sure makes for a juicy snack for the rabid, frothing neckbeards while they wait for their moms to microwave some more Hot Pockets

    Some of us can't manage to grow neckbeards :(

    Withdrawing consent DURING the act or just before is very different from withdrawing it AFTER.

    I'm pretty sure GP meant die off as being births-deaths, indicating that there would be many more deaths than births.

    I think (and someone correct me if I'm wrong) the issue is that nuclear power is more efficient space-wise than wind and solar. (ie it produces more power for the space it takes up).

    The newest designs cannot go into meltdown no matter how much you try.

    I do agree that newer designs are safer, but I imagine someone said something similar to this when they brought the older reactors online so long ago.

    Nope. Used to live on a ranch. I should have said that the taste is DIFFERENT. Not all people find it to be bad tasting (and that's why some people enjoy eating mountain oysters).

    Aren't nerds generally stereotyped by their ridiculously pale skin?

    Haha that's funny you'd say that.... I actually got on a plane with nail clippers a few months ago (I forgot they were in my carry-on). TSA agent took my shampoo... my toothpaste (I also forgot about the "no liquids" thing. Apparently toothPASTE is a liquid). But they left my nail clippers... I mean if I had a mind to I could have busted those babies out on the plane and... Cut some serious nails I guess?

    Really I want to find out how I can become a corporation... I mean if they can become people then the opposite must be true too, right?

    Wait what? So you want to put MORE people on the street? Without wanting to go into a longer explanation: that's really stupid.

  12. Re:Face to face ain't so tough on Anonymous Cancels Drug-Ring Attack · · Score: 1

    If you really are a Marine combat veteran I'd think you should have better things to do than beat up a 13 year old...

    But I agree that they probably wouldn't be so tough. I think it's actually pretty amusing how tough a 12 year old playing some video game thinks he is... inside the game. They think that they're completely annon, and no one knows that they're just stupid kids who have big mouths.

    But we always can. And that's why it's so amusing.

    Steak from a bull (here assuming the bull has not been neutered, for then it would not be a bull, but a steer. Steak also comes from steers) doesn't taste very good because of the testosterone. It's still meat but it has a flavor to it that is not really good to taste.

    You're assuming every single Mexican in the world is an expert with a machete. A blade in the hands of someone unskilled can be just as dangerous to him as to you. Now if the Mexican had a gun....

    Just tell the Republicans it is to fight communism, uh, drugs, children, terrorism, or whatever their current war is against

    All of the above. Communist child terrorists smuggling drugs over the border. Oh and they're illegal immigrants too.

    Hmm are you sure you don't have that backwards? IE, all light is EM radation?

  20. Re:China high speed rail is a cheap copy of japan on China's Cyber-Warfare Capabilities Overstated · · Score: 1

    Probably because their regulatory bodies are nowhere near as complex as Japan's as far as transport ion and bullet trains.

    Well they'd probably just set up some sort of privacy invasive scanner to scan every packet you send to make sure the packet isn't carrying questionable material.... Wait a minute don't certain ISPs do this already?

    At the time there was no one else interested in making those kind of laws. But I agree with you that it's a pretty big flaw.

    Where I live (Oklahoma), the DMV has been outsourced to private enterprise

    That... is very disturbing. Though I guess the competition is good for the customer...
