  1. Re:It is directly corrupt on Two SOPA Writers Become Entertainment Lobbyists · · Score: 1

    The problem is, some grinning showoffs are putting serious money on this. And politicians with quiet constituents are listening with hand extended.

  2. My Current Observations of SOPA on Two SOPA Writers Become Entertainment Lobbyists · · Score: 1

    It looks like those that offer the content are free of blame, but those that take the content are guilty. I cannot help but wonder how lobbyists for Drug Cartels, and Sexual Perversions would not benefit from this.

    I question the legality of Lobbyists.

    And NO, businesses are not people, and money does not have a voice. If so, why was there no Homicide investigation for the Upper Big Branch 29? Why are Super Pac's allowed to even exist. And influence from the Unknown is Tyranny.

    Congress combined couldn't identify a space probe from the contents in a box of suppositories.

    I have to believe it is NASA's fault, they're smarter than we are, ask'em. For starters, ISS could be used as a space platform to assemble space vehicles, it's not. The moon has more Helium3 than common sense allows for; laying on the ground. One would think that after 50 years, there would more human presence on the moon than a foot print. Post Space Shuttle development? Looks like someone went to the basement at KSC and photo shopped the blue prints from the Apollo hardware. Does anyone at NASA know that Burt Rutan's initial designs for low earth orbit launching literally blows the doors off of anything NASA has done since then. As for telescopes, not many city lights are on the moon. As for physical issues of living on the moon, we don't know because NASA won't go.

    Gee, lets look around for the missing moon rocks. Hay NASA, there's a big ball of them above our collective heads. Go there and get some more.

    Ouch! But I could be wrong, could you point to us your web page of similar trivialities with nano structuring? I think that's were I have some questions.

    Then one night I was awakened by soldiers screaming orders, the sound of cries of terror, the sickening sounds of bones being broken with baseball bats. Then, quiet, the truck pulled away taking the family away that government said was now "bad." Good bye Cherie Anderson, god heared your prayers, and your suffering will end shortly.

  13. Re:More update than addition on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    The statement, "(17) any employee who is a computer systems analyst, computer programmer, software engineer, or other similarly skilled worker," is blatantly discriminatory. Why are we singled out? How about striking (17) from the law? Just because I took the time to learn, doesn't mean I the one to be penalized. As for the Mr. Krabs group, they're not without blame themselves. Their lack of thinking it through is not necessarily my problem. They're the ones profiting from my unpaid labors. I didn't come looking for a job because I was bored with my day to day life.

  14. Back to the Future! on US Senator Proposes Bill To Eliminate Overtime For IT Workers · · Score: 1

    This is the kind of un-mowed lawn one gets when business becomes a part of the government. All the benefits, and none of the accountability. Businesses are run by people, businesses are not people. I'd like to see BP arraigned for the murder of the 11 workers that died when it said, "do it, we're in charge here." Murdering 11 people in the U.S. is considered a Serial Killer scenario.

  15. Re:Question: Are these committments binding? I dou on AT&T Issues Scathing Response To FCC Report · · Score: 1

    AT&T's choices are theirs, and their ambivalence to community is needlessly endured. AT&T's Service is the worst, by multiple evaluations. If "AT&T, the Hutt" were to not be here tomorrow, the loss would be easily recoverable, and with improvements that would be a healthy by-product.

  16. Re:Really AT&T? on AT&T Issues Scathing Response To FCC Report · · Score: 1

    I cannot help but wonder what it would take for AT&T customers to start dumping the disappointment that "AT&T the Hutt" is. Where my daughter goes to college, her cell phone is the only one that accepts phone calls inside the buildings. All, and I mean All, of the other carriers calls have to be taken outside. Kinda hard during a one of their sleet, or blizzard storms. She says her friends get pissed every time she answers her phone in the dorm. Go figure.

  17. Re:Golden opportunity lost on AT&T Issues Scathing Response To FCC Report · · Score: 1

    I can't help but wonder if the current Telco's are obsolete? All americans pay $2 to 3$ a month just so someone in the middle of nowhere can have phone service. That's mechanical, not entrepreneurial. Do we really need such "creative minds" that have not offered anything new in the last 15 years?

  19. Re:problem is spectrum on AT&T Issues Scathing Response To FCC Report · · Score: 1

    By your definition, you would have better Service if you changed carriers. By the court's decision, AT&T getting bigger is not cool. I would hope that AT&T's investors would take more pride in their ownership. Instead, its customers are billed for what is to all intents and purposes is contrite lie. Like you came to them because no one else would take you, I think not.

    And what's to stop AT&T from doing to T-Mobile customers what its doing to its current customer base? This event is an "AT&T the Hutt" assimilating a smaller competitor to become even more bloated. If Service were an issue, I think with 39 Billion dollars, AT&T the Hutt could put up one or two more towers. Hell, with 39 Billion, they could make a move to make themselves improve their Service, which would give back to the community. Instead, its Investors want to abuse more people with their "business plan." I just don't see anyone shedding a tear if AT&T were to file for "Chapter 7". It just might be the right direction to go to, for them.
