    Really, I don't remember Walter Mondale leading a government shutdown over the Apollo project.

    And how is that any different then a faceless corporation making those choices based not what's best for you but what is best for their bottom dollar?

    I'd rather have the government as I can have a say in who's making the rules.

    But all other things are not equal and that is what makes y9our argument fail. You completely ignore every other variable in location choice and in doing so make a completely asinine statement.

    5 days? that's nothing, 11 days was my record, granted numerous quantities of drugs were involved. By that time I was quite psychotic though and a good friend firmly suggested I sleep with a very well placed punch.

    No this is Slashdot and it is truly just as polarized as the rest of the nation.

    Which is the reason Microsoft is making the Surface in the first place. Do you really think they care if they lose a billion dollars on the hardware if it increases demand for windows 8 devices?

    Huh? Carrier approval is about getting a new device certified on the networks. It has to be done in Europe too. It has nothing to do about buying a phone and carrier subsidies.

    Great now load up 200 dollars of groceries on your bike(either one) and tell me how safe you are on your ride home.

    That's not a report that's an editorial. Nice try though. Try finding something not right wing biased that refers to this anonymous park ranger. No reputable news source has picked up this story.

    It’s a cheap way to deal with the situation,” an angry Park Service ranger in Washington says of the harassment. “We’ve been told to make life as difficult for people as we can. It’s disgusting.”

    Ok I want someone to verify this as all sources refer to the examiner.com and other heavily biased right wing sites, Yet not one reputable news source has picked this up.

  17. Re:It's about putting pressure on the GOP on Are Shuttered Gov't Sites Actually Saving Money? · · Score: 1

    Ahh yes the unnamed source. The bastion of the truth in the press. Please if you believe that story with it's `complete lack of bias` "Americans feel the most pain as a result of the partial government shutdown brought about by Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid's refusal to work with Republicans".

    I love how it always the Democrats responsibility to work with the Republicans, but it's never the Republicans responsibility.

    If this were the truth it would be a real news story yet not one reputable news source has picked it up, can you explain that without falling into a conspiracy fueled seizure.

    Lost the battle in 2012? You mean that year when the President was reelected and the majority of votes for the House were for democrats and the only reason the Republicans maintained House control was through extreme gerrymandering? You mean that loss?

    Passing a bill that you know won't make it through the other house or survive a veto once is a good way to make a statement, 48 times is way to stall government. They are basically saying if you don't do what we want fine then you won't do anything.

  24. Re:No on Are Shuttered Gov't Sites Actually Saving Money? · · Score: 1

    But the sad thing is the Democrats have been compromising. Since the beginning of Obama's presidency, even when they had a majority in both houses they wanted bipartisan support. During the budget talks, when John Boehner made his famous quote "I got 98% of what I wanted" yet they still wouldn't play ball. So can we stop the ridiculous talk about how the left needs compromise with the minority right, we have been, but it's hard to deal with a side that thinks compromise is getting 100% of what they want 100% of the time.

    actually it did nothing of the sort, it did nothing to change the funding of Obamacare, what the amendment did was delay the individual mandate for a year. SO no it was not a "clean" CR.
