    I didn't mean that, but, I'll accept your recycling of my joke.
    Although the Warmist might rebut that "It just keeps getting cooler" is, itself, the mythology, and haul your little Denier booty off to Room 101.

    It just keeps getting cooler.

    Partisan? The Ruling Class may own some parties, but it really isn't partial to any. Like a good parental overlord.

  4. Re:No. on With 'Obamacare' Kicking In, Microsoft Sees a Health-Data Windfall · · Score: 1

    This clusterfuck of an industry bailout bill has pretty well no resemblance to health care reform, or to any of what Obama actually wanted to do.

    I know somebody who works in pharma.
    It's certainly likely that 'the suits' were lining their wallets, and virtually guaranteed that our Ruling Class is out to shear us all after the sheep fashion.
    One is curious as to what you think "Obama actually wanted to do". My guess is Single-payer, that smashing British success story.
    Because, hey, if we've bought enough of the anti-capitalist propaganda, and ignored the empirical results, I say: "Let us crash."

    *BSD is dying. Perl6 is dying. If they'd just implemented a Perl6 interpreter in the NetBSD kernel, they could have immanentized the eschaton.

    Apple, Microsoft, and Google walk into a mall:
    Apple: I will seduce them with Jobsian user experiences!
    Microsoft: I will bury them with my usual, cheap second-mover tactics!

    I'd like to see the GOP control 2/3 of the states, then just announce an Article V convention.
    The idea may be stupid, but the 'sploding heads alone would be worth every moment.

    If fractional reserve banking is superior, why isn't it used to market a bank?
    "We are more ethical and less likely to 'splode in some painful economic meltdown."?
    I'm sure that regulation is at least part of the answer.

  18. WHEN DID THE HATE END? on Moving the Linux Kernel Console To User-Space · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Progress is about hating the current state of affairs, and denigrating all past work. That's just the way it is. Don't make a maniac out of me.

    Look, anybody who wants to see anything different has got to tell me how we de-centralize.
    I'd be for creating banks in the other 49 states (beside North Dakota), and returning all of the 10th Amendment violations like Sallie May, Freddie Mac, and the education loans to the states where the people/places in question reside.
    The federal government could then assume a more legitimate oversight role.
    Are you going to alter the net corruption of the overall system? Unlikely. Can you ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING OTHER THAN THROW WORDS AT 'TOO BIG TO FAIL'? I daresay you can.
    But your Ruling Class Overlords will not be separated from power by less than a crowbar, and maybe a little heavy PETN.
