  1. Re:Anyone noticed. . . on No Zombie Uprising, But Problems Persist With Emergency Alert System · · Score: 1

    One can only hope that Zombies don't seek legal representation for this Hate Crime?

  2. ...tech immigration reform... on Teachers Get 1 Week To Test Tech Giants' Hour of Code · · Score: 1

    I've never seen a more sinister move by those that would renounce their U.S. Citizenship for pieces of silver.

  3. Re:A government contractor here on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: -1, Troll

    Poor AC, maybe you should be let go of your cushy government paid job? Stand up for your rights and leave your job in protest of how much is paid to government workers; it's your right!

  4. Re:Ta Da on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    What I find interesting is the Tea Party's attack ads on Republicans that don't agree with them. Who has that kind of money? Why is this referred to as a Win, Loss? Peoples lives are involved here. And this name calling of elected office holders is designed to create Hate. Why?

    Unless some perceive a value to be gained by it? Troubling conclusions based on others past actions.

  5. Re:Who needs a left leg? on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    Damn, coffee all over my keyborad, damn.

  6. Re:Living paycheck to paycheck? on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    And who prints the money?

  7. Re:Thank you on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    Poor AC, "all or nothing" is not negotiation.

  8. Re:Thank you on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    I think the Tea Party might find more enjoyment by using another host?

  9. Re:Better model needed on The Cost of the US Government Shutdown To Science · · Score: 1

    Maybe you could site a reference? Also the use of "funding", that alone shows the sand under your knowledge base. The easiest way to understand something is to try and do it. And maybe who knows, you'll find the cure for Farm Subsidy Entitlements, (a.k.a. FSE)? There's also a need to find a cure for Oil Industry Entitlements, and Hedge Fund Manager Entitlements. Be the first?

  10. Re:On the other hand on Windows RT 8.1 Update Pulled From Windows Store · · Score: 1

    Faster? Cite a reference maybe?

  11. Re:Define "terrorists" ???? on Dick Cheney Had Implanted Defibrillator Altered To Prevent Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    If its not posted on YouTube, it didn't happen.

  12. Conspiracy Theory Theater on Dick Cheney Had Implanted Defibrillator Altered To Prevent Terrorist Attack · · Score: 1

    A possible movie concept, and game:

    The transmitter was put back in the pace maker. It is tuned so that every time one passes by a Red Box the pace maker starts playing "Poker Face", acustic version, by Lady Gaga; downloaded from The Pirate Bay.

    This turns out to be the reason why Snowden left the NSA, which is verifiable on WikiLeaks.

  13. Just A Thought on How PR Subverts Wikipedia · · Score: 1

    Why not have the vendor write about their product as though it was a scientific experiment. With such things, "Best In Class" edited out; instead identification of what class the product is in. One could refer to it as the "Star Trek's Vulcan Test", if its logical, and unemotional, editing passes. It won't stop the grinning show offs, but it will cause them to stay on topic.

    A possible idea is that modifiers not be allowed. Another test is that schematics have to be downloadable for third party verification. Given todays lawful upholdings of copywrites, trade marks, licences, and patents; this shouldn't be a problem.

  14. Re:Only moose and squirrel have them on Snowden Says He Took No Secret Files To Russia · · Score: 1

    At this point, it's not a secret anymore. Are fools the only ones that don't have a copy?

  15. Re:55% on Give Your Child the Gift of an Alzheimer's Diagnosis · · Score: 1

    My thought is, "would she remember?"

  16. I Knew the Admiral's Brother on USS Zumwalt — a Guided Missile Destroyer Running On Linux · · Score: 1

    I heard of the Admiral via his brother, my civics teacher. This is the same admiral that was involved with the hover craft stuff the D.O.D. does. This linux vessel is right down his alley. My civics teacher, a good guy, but a round peg in a room full of square holes.

    All hale the class of '72

  17. Re:Visual Studio? Released? on Visual Studio 2013 Released · · Score: 0

    And in a unrelated news story today, 2 murders were released from prison in Florida. This O/S used to help the killers escape was, you guessed it; not Linux.

  18. And In An Unrelated News Story on Windows 8.1 Rolls Out Today · · Score: 1

    Today is October 17th.

  19. Re:Experience on Uneven Enforcement Suspected At Nuclear Plants · · Score: 1

    damit! now i've got coffee all over my keyboard. XD

  20. Fox News, is Neither on No, Oreos Aren't As Addictive As Cocaine · · Score: 1, Funny

    "...Fox News reported that a..."
    That's when you know it's a goof.

  21. It's For the Children on Most Parents Allow Unsupervised Internet Access To Children At Age 8 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If you don't have children, you have no clue about this topic. And if you do, you're concerned about the lost child. But not enough to support those that would turn the internet into a corporate sponsored lock down.

    I use to think I'd be a fine husband, till I got married.
    I use to think I'd be a fine father, till I had chidren.
    I use to think I'd be a fine grandparent; I pray that I just don't fuck this up.

  22. Re:Experience on Uneven Enforcement Suspected At Nuclear Plants · · Score: 1

    Citing many vocal political types from Southeast about less government is better, and also a positive concept of voting using their wallet. How would their collective wallets work with a Fukushima 2.0 event in their neck of the woods?

  23. Re:Prejudiced much? on Oracle Attacks Open Source; Says Community-Developed Code Is Inferior · · Score: 1

    Inferior? Ya, sure, what ever.

    Just out of curiosity, why did Oracle buy commerical rights to mySQL, and JAVA?

  24. Re:Challenge the impossible... on Fossilized Mosquito Has Blood-filled Abdomen · · Score: 1

    I know it's still science fiction, but couldn't a 3D map be made showing the relative placement of atoms from the belly of the bug? Then it becomes the worlds nastiest jigsaw puzzle.

  25. BRIC Nations Unite! on China's State Press Calls For 'Building a De-Americanized World' · · Score: 1

    Is it time America cut the aid to these "greatful" nations? It sounds like they're ready to "leave the nest."
