  1. Re:Lovely summary. on Hugos Refuse To Award Anyone Rather Than Submit To Fans' Votes · · Score: 1

    What's the fallacy for calling someone else on a fallacy when they weren't even attempting a logical conclusion?

    It'll be a French medal.

  3. Re:Unfortunately on Two US Marines Foil Terrorist Attack On Train In France · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are you aware what happened in Australia after they banned guns?

    I'm pretty sure irony has swooped around and bit its own head off.

  5. Re:And all they wanted was a faster horse on F-35 Might Be Outperformed By Fourth-Generation Fighters · · Score: 1

    Wasn't that widely held at the start of the Vietnam war, but it turned out not to be true?

    Just make H1B a fast track to a green card.

  7. Re:Funny on Federal Judge Calls BS On Homeland Security's 2008 STEM 'Emergency' · · Score: 1

    Silicon Valley hipsters want to make illegal immigrants legal so that they can get paid minimum wage.

    Because they can't be bothered.

    Give them green cards instead of H1B

  10. Re:It's all a game to her on Clinton Surrendering Email Server/Data To Feds After Top Secret Mail Found · · Score: 1

    "...to get to this point, she also had to have that same classified information in her home, after she left the position. "

    How does that follow, was the server kept in her home?

  11. Re:Shifting election day on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    I swear, some people think we are the only country on the planet.

  12. Re:Socialism on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    Taxes are a measure of government power. A government that cannot or does not tax is showing itself to be powerless.

  13. Re:Socialism on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    You aren't addressing the point, that too much money in politics erodes democratic virtues in politics.

  14. Re:Socialism on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    GP is just taking for granted that you shouldn't refuse someone health care because they are broke, or break them if they aren't. GP doesn't understand how barbaric the position of American conservatives is.

  15. Re:Professor? on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 1

    Give me a break. In a world where people dismiss Sanders because "he's a socialist" without any further thought, getting hung up on labels is a huge problem.

  16. Re:Showed too much of his hand on Lawrence Lessig Wants To Run For President So He Can Resign · · Score: 2

    Smarter than you based on your legal analysis I guess. The law isn't computer code.

  17. We should be able to get a ruling that the claim was frivolous and get awarded damages due to it.

  18. Re:The only reboot/reprise/sequal on Fantastic Four Reboot Released To Tepid Reception · · Score: 1

    True, but great effects would not have made that movie great. There was some kind of disconnect between having Tom Sawyer and Dorian Grey as main characters, while seemingly aiming at low brow action.

    You are not funny, therefore you are a woman.

    If this are the assholes who primarily benefit from copyright, how wrong is illegal copying?

  21. Re:It's going to be a joyous day on Plan To Run Anti-Google Smear Campaign Revealed In MPAA Emails · · Score: 1

    The federal government is more powerful and has proved over and over the value of breaking up big businesses in terms of competition and open media. We somehow keep forgetting that and have to relearn it.

  22. Re:Should have left the crypt unopened on Berkeley Breathed Revives Bloom County Comic Strip After 25 Years · · Score: 2

    If you live in the shit, it is sometimes hard to see it.

  23. Re:Well, she was an interim. on Ellen Pao Leaves Reddit; Site Founder Steve Huffman Makes a Triumphant Return · · Score: 1

    "You start kicking out the undesirables and its like filtering the porn links out of google. "

    Or maybe it's like preventing Reddit from becoming the next 4chan.

    "You want to contain as many communities as possible under the same roof."

    That's what *you* want. Reddit wants to make money. Obviously they need numbers, but they're also probably going after a particular demographic. They need high-profile AMAs, they need not to be embarrassed elsewhere in the media, etc. Relying only upon shaming and other organic defense mechanism is not going to cut it.

  24. Re:Could be just a Dalton Minimum on Mini Ice Age: Nothing To Worry About · · Score: 1

    Your post is yet another sad example of a classic Slashdot genre: "Scientists unsure if Sun exists".

    It's pretty well accepted that solar output affects climate.

    I'm not sure he can pull his music off the radio. He may not have the right to that.
