  1. Hell Yeah! Transparency at last! on US Congress To Use Skype For Video Teleconference · · Score: 1

    As long they are fair about it: http://eccentricintelligenceagency.info/archives/2326 then we can listen to them too.

  2. Re:PROFILED on TSA Has 95-Year-Old Remove Her Diaper For Screening · · Score: 1

    And to that I say... 'so?'

    People die every day, and in the US it's more likely to be from bee stings than terrorist activity. Yet we've determined to spend billions to make that a zero percentage. What about those terrorist bees!?

    Shhh. If you pretend you're afraid, maybe the government wont have to make any more terrorists. And plus; bees are good for arthritis - terrorists only write and file FOIAs.

  3. Re:Aspergers is not a "get out of jail free" card on UK Hacker Ryan Cleary Has Asperger's Syndrome, Court Told · · Score: 1

    Hmm. It is still ridiculous to extradite him. I wrote a little article on the subject, mostly lampooning it: http://eccentricintelligenceagency.info/archives/784 I am not so sure searching for information is wrong. If so, no more than lying to the public - which the US military does to excess. IMO the whole case on McKinnon is irrelevant.

  4. Samurai PuPu Platter on Japanese Scientist Creates Meat Substitute From Sewage · · Score: 1

    Waiter: Welcome to the Gastrointestinal Cafe, Might I recommend the crap-cakes, or perhaps our famous vegetarian scat-burger? – it’s wonderful! Customer: Can you tell me what district you get your sewage from, sir? Waiter: I can assure you it comes from a strictly upper-class community of people with good taste. Also.. Customer: Sounds fine. Does it come with freedom-fries? Waiter: [*smiles and winks*] It wouldn’t be a scat-burger if it didn’t! An extra larger portion actually, with our special dipping Customer: That’ll do. And I’ll have it medium-well too. I just don’t trust rare, no matter who it comes from. Waiter: [*all smiles*] I understand – that’s how I like it too. Customer: And how about your beer menu? Waiter: Oh, for imports we have carbonated urine from France, Belgium, Germany, and Switzerland, and our domestic list includes Milwaukee, Florid Customer: I prefer the real thing; just gimmie a Bud Light in the can. Florida right? Waiter: Yes, and an excellent choice sir; the foreign urine brewing process still hasn’t caught up with Bud. And would you like to try our frumunda-cheese and crackers? It is extracted from selected NFL football champions and is. Customer: ..No, I think that should do. Could you by any chance put in a request for the ass-machine to play the latest Justin Bieber song? I just can’t get it out of my head since arriving here at the port o’let resort. And it’s so catchy! Waiter: [*smiles*] We’ll have a busboy gas it up right away, but it may take a while – we usually don’t get such shitty requests. Customer: Thanks so much. Waiter: If there’s anything else you need, just ask. Customer: [*reclines in chair, thinks*] “this is the life”. [*fart noises fill the air, and he begins to sing along*]

  5. Re:As long as Apt is left alone on Synaptic Dropped From Ubuntu 11.10 · · Score: 1

    "Honestly I don't use either Synaptic or the Software Center. I do it all on the command-line using apt-cache and apt-get." I always found update-manager convenient in that I could omit unwanted updates by ticking boxes and look at descriptions of the updates before accepting them. Not quite as easy in terminal. When I know precisely what I want to install, apt-get is great; but when I need to sift through possibly problematic upgrades (flash, etc.), I prefer to have an easily-read interface, which I think update-manger did a very fine job of. But since I would literally rather force-feed myself an Active-Directory book rather than use GNOME3 or Unity, I guess I shouldn't have to worry. Arch is now looking mighty fine to me: http://www.archlinux.org/news/the-canterbury-project/ - and for having an easy to use OS on hand, I think I'll go with Debian or Mint on a separate partition.

  6. US Army Patent 5,242,820? on Human Genome Contaminated With Mycoplasma DNA · · Score: 1
