    Better than blaming blaming Bush for everything for everything.

    I present to you a fine collection of straws, which you may feel free to grasp at.

    Yeah that's a real credible-looking source you've got there.

    Agreed.

  6. Re:Wait, what? on US and Israel Test Missile As Syria War Tensions Rise · · Score: 1

    People have some serious amnesia about the early 2000's. Barely anyone spoke out about the wars at the time, and NONE of the media did. Of course everyone claims to have been against it retrospectively, but at the time you (and I) were too scared to speak up about it.

  7. Re:so basically, what we knew on NSA Broke Privacy Rules Thousands of Times Per Year, Audit Finds · · Score: 1

    This type of tax-exempt status is only for non-political organizations, and the organizations which were applying were unequivocally political. They were doing their damn jobs (for once), I only wish they'd done better at it.

    Thankfully my brain hasn't yet learned to walk, that sounds like it could cause some serious problems.

    Which is why non-kosher foods are required to to labeled as such... Oh wait

  11. Re:"JUST" 12 light years? LOL. on Possible Habitable Planet Just 12 Light Years Away · · Score: 1

    Right: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oberth_effect It seems counter-intuitive, but doing a burn as close as possible to the sun (probably getting there using a bi-elliptic transfer) will give a huge boost to velocity, as compared to just flying in a straight line away from the sun, given a high enough delta-V budget.

  12. Re:complain on Google Doubts Apple Will Approve Its New Maps Application · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but you had plenty of people who had no idea that the maps on the iPhone were using Google's data. When my girlfriend updated to iOS 6 and saw the maps change, I told her about how Apple was making their own maps now, and her response was "Oh, what were they before, then?".

  13. Re:No surprise?? I dunno on Scientists Say Organic Food May Not Be Healthier For You · · Score: 5, Informative

    Organic food is not sprayed with synthetic pesticides. They may or may not have pesticide residues, and the synthetic stuff is generally safer.

  14. Re:Lol, republicans on Kim Dotcom Raid - What Really Happened · · Score: 3, Informative

    First past the post guarantees that third parties can never succeed on a national scale. It's not a matter of "not believing hard enough", it's Duverger's Law. Voting for a third party in a national election is just giving a pass to the (slightly) worse of the two candidates that actually have a chance of winning.

  15. X-Forwareded-For on How To Watch Internet TV Across International Borders · · Score: 5, Informative

    Of course sometimes you can just set the X-Forwarded-For attribute in your browser to an IP address inside the country. A fair amount of web servers are set up to blindly trust it. A lot cheaper than a proxy when it works.

    That's very acute of you to pick up on.

  19. Re:300 Acceptable? on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 1

    Yep! Most hotels have either a single T1, or a bonded T (bringing it up to a massive 3 Mbps). The technology is slow to move, but they're gradually bringing in fiber lines, or load balancing equipment and some consumer lines (DSL/Cable).

  20. Working at an ISP on Ask Slashdot: What Is an Acceptable Broadband Latency? · · Score: 3, Informative

    I just averaged together the data for a few thousand DSL circuits, and it seems that the average response time is in the area of 65 ms. Anything above 150ms is out of the ordinary. There are even a few CenturyLink circuits in there (reseller), and the average response time for those is a little higher, around 70 ms. Usually slow response times are because of an over-utilized circuit, but if that's not an issue here, then you should probably check the signal and margins on your modem or have CenturyLink send a tech to do so.

  21. Re:Same as school exercise on Active Video Games Don't Make Kids Exercise More · · Score: 2

    Yeah, all these people just need to work 9 to 5 like you and your wife, and everything would be a lot easier. It's a little more complicated when a couple has four part-time jobs between them, at all hours of the day/night, and have small children which require supervision. If only they were as "smart as you and could take their 9-5 jobs for granted."

    I have never seen a US city consider making public services free on a holiday. It seems almost like it is opposed to the core values of much of the US.
