  1. Re:how much does it cost? on An Anonymous, Verifiable E-Voting Tech · · Score: 2, Informative

    I worked yesterday at the polls in New York. We had ImageCast paper-ballot optical-scan machines from Sequoia with ballot-marking devices attached for disabled voters. These gave all voters the ability to mark ballots privately.

  2. Re:Bullshit on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    Not giving in, but rather injecting their political agenda.

  3. Re:Bullshit on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    It's a good thing that we don't have a bunch of activist judges overturning all kinds of precedent!

  4. Re:Oops. on US Supreme Court Expected Political Ad Transparency · · Score: 1

    They should have issued that statement after Bush v Gore.

  5. Re:They've already busted that twice now on President Obama To Appear On Mythbusters · · Score: 3, Informative

    Just to bust yet another right-wing myth: shots of BOTH Reagan and Bush in shirtsleeves in the Oval Office.

  6. Re:This is good. on The Rise of Small Nuclear Plants · · Score: 1

    We could give Santa Claus or the Easter Bunny the job of building clean coal tech. All three are equally real.

  7. Did Biden mention if on Biden Reveals Location of Secret VP Bunker · · Score: 1

    Cheney's love lair with Jeff Gannon was also discovered?

  8. Re:I trained in Kung Fu for 6 years on You, Too, Could Be Batman In 10 To 12 Years · · Score: 1

    I just got a new sig.

  9. Who'd have thought on Why Are the Best and Brightest Not Flooding DARPA? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    that an administration that aggressively fights and denounces science would suppress scientists' interest in public service?

  10. Re:Do you have a paper trail? on How To Spot E-Vote Tampering? · · Score: 1

    Are there rules about voting while high? Obviously not, since we've had two terms of Dubya.
  11. Spitzer's a Democratic Governor on Americans Don't Care About Domestic Spying ? · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Any infraction, real or perceived, will be used against him. Ask Don Siegelman, who was railroaded to prison on trumped-up charges and is being denied an appeal because his case hasn't been transcribed (for a year).

    You think they replaced all those US Attorneys for nothing?

  12. Re:moto on Rush Limbaugh Begs Steve Jobs For Bug Fixes · · Score: 1

    Get off my lawn, ALL you six-figure UIDs!

  13. A science plan? In Georgia? on Hydrogen-Powered cars with Zero-Carbon-Emission? · · Score: 1

    Why don't they just ask Jesus to take care of it for them, like they did with the drought?

  14. Re:Seriously.. on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 1

    I'd love to know what the heck that's supposed to mean. "Because some European countries are better, so you'd know what to shoot for?" "Because some European countries are worse, so wanting to improve your own country is somehow wrong?"

  15. Didn't you see the movie? on U.S. Confiscating Data at the Border · · Score: 1
  16. What's the big deal? on Trojan Found In New HDs Sold In Taiwan · · Score: 1
  17. Thank you on Move to a Mainframe, Earn Carbon Credits · · Score: 1

    It's nice to see a reasonable acknowledgement of climatologists' expert position on this matter every once in a while.

    Conservatives? Values? Please.

  19. Re:Waste, nothing but waste on Judge Kimball Strikes SCO's Jury Trial Demand · · Score: 1

    Oh, absolutely. Lawyers themselves should be outlawed. That way, nobody would ever be able to have the assistance of a learned professional when it came to petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

  20. Bullshit on FEC Will Not Regulate Political Blogging · · Score: 1, Insightful

    The networks pulled out all the stops for Kerry? Then why the hell did they continually parrot the lies of the Swift Boaters? You wouldn't know truth if you tripped over it; you sure as hell won't hear it flying out of your own mouth.

  21. Well, that's the problem on FBI's Unknown Eavesdropping Network · · Score: 1

    According to the Bush administration, a warrant is NOT required to set up the bugging. They've been doing warrantless eavesdropping since October of 2001. Read How Would a Patriot Act? for more.

  22. Re:Security on Will Security Firms Detect Police Spyware? · · Score: 1

    People "whine" about Bush because he's doing it NOW. I'll post my rant against J Edgar Hoover's abuses later, and let you know when it's available, OK?

    And I just bought a 1984 Mercedes-Benz 300SD after my 1998 Camry died on the road. Of course, I did that so I could start making biodiesel.

  25. Re:Sad on ABC/Disney Shuts Down Blog Exercising Fair Use · · Score: 1

    Vitriol of the left? You think that KSFO's screechers are unique in conservative circles by calling for violence against ideological opponents?
