  1. Re:If they're concerned on picking winners or lose on A War Over Solar Power Is Raging Within the GOP · · Score: 1

    Not only the Oil Companies, but Hedge Fund Managers, and Ag loans to multi-billion dollar businesses. Why do they need it? These things are really pork barrel Entitlements.

    I'm getting the impression that the U.S. economy is pretty well spent.

  2. With A Name Like Argus on Bionic Eye Implant Available In US Next Month · · Score: 1

    Now wondering eyes will be acceptable?

  3. Re:they've had this place since what 2010? on Toyota Announces Plans For Fuel Cell Car By 2015 · · Score: 1

    Californian government would have more money to work with if they stopped supporting Ag loans to any farm/ranch with over $10 million in gross revenue. Google it.

  4. A Great Idea, Question Though on NASA's Next Frontier: Growing Plants On the Moon · · Score: 1

    When the phase of the moon is in the dark, what would have to be done?

  5. Re:Money again... on Software Patent Reform Stalls Thanks To IBM and Microsoft Lobbying · · Score: 1

    Amazing, IBM. I've got an idea for a Watson project; Patent Troll Analysis.

  6. Re:Which Encryption Scheme is Safest? Can we tell? on Yahoo Encrypting Data In Wake of NSA Revelations · · Score: 1

    Yahoo can encrypt all it wants, it's where the data is unencrypted that the NSA would be waiting. And every other spy angency with 10 cents of common sense.

  7. Re:Its A Trap! on An Anonymous US Law Enforcement Officer Claims US Wouldn't Arrest Julian Assange · · Score: 3, Informative

    An unknown source in the DOJ says that most likely the US won't act in its best interests. Was this person talking to some GOTP's? Because I don't know of anyone over the age of 8 that would believe this tripe.

  8. Re:Fire all the old cold-war dudes. on US Wary of Allowing Russian Electronic Monitoring Stations Inside US · · Score: 1

    As requested; You ARE strange, dangerously strange.

  9. Re:Why does GLONASS even need permission? on US Wary of Allowing Russian Electronic Monitoring Stations Inside US · · Score: 1

    What if the Russians lie?

  10. The U.S. is not stable enough to have Russia come and muck up our infrastructure with their comic antics.

  11. Re: Ethanol is a crock nobody wants on Can the US Be Weaned Off Ethanol? · · Score: 2

    I think that the starving would starve less if more drinkable water were available.

  12. Re:FRIED FRUIT ?? YUMMY !! on Interview: Ask Limor Fried About Open-Source Hardware and Adafruit · · Score: 0

    I was thinking that in this case, having ones family name first would bring some mirthful gazes.

  13. Re:Ethanol is a crock nobody wants on Can the US Be Weaned Off Ethanol? · · Score: 1

    One thing will be certain, and that is the Frankin Corn will go as feed, not as fuel. It appears we may not need an Ag Bill any longer.

  14. Re:Wrong question on How Big Companies Can Hamper the Surveillance Infrastructure · · Score: 0

    I think it to be more simple than that, businesses were allowed to do anything they wanted, for example Microsoft when it was convicted of lying, cheating, and stealing. And that its breakup was on the table. In steps in the some pin headed republican in charge, and Microsoft walks. Which businesses prospered before 2008? Those are the ones that had access to raw data from the net, and any computer tied to it. And who made billions drainging America's wealth?

  15. Re:Huh, that's surprising on FBI Reports US Agencies Hacked By Anonymous · · Score: 1

    It would appear that it has become a case of FBI vs. FBI?

  16. Re:They are priced very well on Sears To Convert Old Auto Centers Into National Chain of Data Centers · · Score: 1

    The name of these new data centers will be, wait for it, "Die Hard."

  17. Re:Fuck the TSA on TSA Screening Barely Working Better Than Chance · · Score: 1

    It can become very hard to be at an airport and watch as thousands of people come and go, and the TSA staff can only watch. It can be very lonely; lonely.

    Also, has anyone noticed that since the emergence of the TSA, that same sex marriages have increased? Coincidence? I think not.

  18. Re:Americans: NSA needs more oversight on NSA Wants To Reveal Its Secrets To Prevent Snowden From Revealing Them First · · Score: 2

    I can't help but wonder why security didn't check Snoden's tractor trailer when he drove it into work on his last day. I'm just amazed that no one put two and two together. It seems like the longer Snoden is away, the more secrets he illuminates. I can't help but wonder if other spy agency's are currently giving him secrets that they acquired on their own, and now the U.S. gets to take the hit. If so, it is a master stroke.

  19. Re:If you can defend it .. it's yours on Hotel Tycoon Seeks Property Rights On the Moon · · Score: 3, Interesting

    I am reminded of a book, "The Man Who Sold the Moon." Compared to todays culture, it is a very telling story. Also, trained seals is a very telling concept.

  20. Re:Skynet on Military Robots Expected To Outnumber Troops By 2023 · · Score: 1

    Senario: "Yesterday a storm hit the eastern sea board, it was twice as devastating as Sandy."

    I believe those that use mobile robots to clean up, replant, mend, and repair will face global warming the most successfully.

  21. Re:tough love on How the NSA Is Harming America's Economy · · Score: 1

    And so one thinks that these back doors only exist in U.S. products? Maybe Cisco, et.al. would be more "open" to their protocols? Maybe more profit could be made by approaching solutions were simplicity is illuminated?

  22. Re:Poor Cisco on How the NSA Is Harming America's Economy · · Score: 0

    "its for the children!" was the battle cry; but why was president bush so interested in a child's left behind?

    I heard the number was 17 vehicles burn every hour in the U.S.. But Tesla won't be able to capture the moment till they to have their own VIAGRA commerical.
