  1. Are you kidding yourself? on Study Finds US Is an Oligarchy, Not a Democracy · · Score: 4, Informative

    Do you really think Citizens United magically transformed the U.S.? Really?
    The House of Representatives has been frozen in size since 1910.
    Since 1913:
    - The IRS has eminent domain over your wallet.
    - Your state, as such, is essentially voiceless in DC, now that Senators represent their parties.
    - The federal government just borrows it forward to inflate the stock market and bind future generations in debt.
    Blame Progressivism? Darn right I do.
    Folks, it's time for a http://conventionofstates.com/

  3. A fight with a bunch of Chowdaheads in Glass on Anyone Can Buy Google Glass April 15 · · Score: 2

    Would that be a hassle with a passle of Masshole Glassholes? Asking for a poet.

  4. Re:It's not surprising on PC Gaming Alive and Dominant · · Score: 1

    What I can't quite fathom is why, if *nix systems are so much more "developer friendly", all of the juice is on the PC.

  5. "Sorry," said the IRS on IRS Misses XP Deadline, Pays Microsoft Millions For Patches · · Score: 1

    "way too busy thrashing Tea Party miscreants."

  6. Re:Caution on Linux 3.15 Will Suspend & Resume Much Faster · · Score: 0

    More rare: the times the UPS was more than a brown truck with a penchant for right turns.

  7. The thing you're missing on Can the ObamaCare Enrollment Numbers Be Believed? · · Score: 1

    People do not scale. What you can do in Singapore is NOT what you can do in the US.
    The Progressives have successfully re-enacted the Tower of Babel.
    Now let's just put a bow on this turd and get on with reform.

  11. Re:OK, that's kinda funny on Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras Win Truth-Telling Award · · Score: 1

    The real point of research is to have a big enough stick that everyone confines aggression to strong words.
    And it's one of those points of history that some of the better technological advances (e.g. radar) are due to war.
    But let's not rationalize too heavily here: war is "the evil that men do".

  12. Re:OK, that's kinda funny on Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras Win Truth-Telling Award · · Score: 1

    Indeed, brevity can hurt finer shades of meaning.

  13. Re:OK, that's kinda funny on Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras Win Truth-Telling Award · · Score: 1

    I meant the logic of "If these are recognized as honorable, the rest must lack it by implication".
    In reality, our military is awash in honor, for all elected officials may not always employ it for honorable ends.

  14. Hittites on Meet the Diehards Who Refuse To Move On From Windows XP · · Score: 2

    Real men run DOS3.3

    I'm willing to see the logic at work.

  16. OK, that's kinda funny on Edward Snowden and Laura Poitras Win Truth-Telling Award · · Score: 1

  19. Re:Ah, antimatter on Why Are We Made of Matter? · · Score: -1, Troll

    What do you mean? We're paying big bucks for the research into the scientific faith. Not saying we should not, I hasten to add, as this is /., but let's call faith like we see it.

  20. Re:Ah, antimatter on Why Are We Made of Matter? · · Score: 3, Funny

    What difference, at this point, does it matter?
