  1. Re:194 is the max IQ for 8 billion people on Is "Scorpion" Really a Genius? · · Score: 1

    That's neat!
    I think this is some sort of scam though. Hackers usually brag about exploits, one claiming to have a high IQ is inviting another hacker to one prove that he's smarter that him; plus being seemingly impossible.

  3. Re:Yay.. This is easy to imagine on Microsoft's CEO Says He Wants to Unify Windows · · Score: 1

    This is a very interesting experiment these companies are performing on consumers.
    Can these companies push what they want us to use and succeed in business? My guess would be no; but companies can and do manipulate markets and government regulations in their favor all the time. Is the business at the mercy of the consumer or is the consumer at the mercy of the business?
    Maybe AT&T and Verizon will try and make an argument that charging for bandwidth is good for consumers? Maybe high bandwidth is a threat to homeland security in some way?
    Microsoft can sue anyone that has a GUI interface for patent infringement or can buy a company that might be a threat. This is kind of what Apple did to them when Microsoft first came out with Windows.
    Who know at this point, it will be interesting to see what the future holds!

    How specific do you need to be? You can still be pretty generic, for example with the one click button.
    • button on screen
    • code to run when button is clicked
    • storage of information related to button clicked by user in some storage place

    I think this will just fuel the fire to completely do away with software patents.

    "Tech worker groups" sounds suspiciously like whites and Asians to me. Why should these high-IQ groups receive advantages when so many other groups don't? They don't need any advantages, they already have them in the form of a culture that values education and two-parent families. It sounds a hell of a lot like racism to me.

    This guy said on radio ...

    I believe this is a sovereign state of Nevada and I abide by all of Nevada state laws. But I don’t recognize the United States government as even existing.

    I think he's just a deadbeat that's trying to make up stuff to avoid paying his debt. Not sure why he thinks he has the right to the land. It was all the land of the native peoples in that area. If we get nitpicking shouldn't we give the land back to them? Don't they have more of a right to it then this guy? Just saying!

    Article 1, Section 2 of the Nevada Constitution says...
    All political power is inherent in the people. Government is instituted for the protection, security and benefit of the people; and they have the right to alter or reform the same whenever the public good may require it. But the Paramount Allegiance of every citizen is due to the Federal Government in the exercise of all its Constitutional powers as the same have been or may be defined by the Supreme Court of the United States; and no power exists in the people of this or any other State of the Federal Union to dissolve their connection therewith or perform any act tending to impair, subvert, or resist the Supreme Authority of the government of the United States. The Constitution of the United States confers full power on the Federal Government to maintain and Perpetuate its existence, and whensoever any portion of the States, or people thereof attempt to secede from the Federal Union, or forcibly resist the Execution of its laws, the Federal Government may, by warrant of the Constitution, employ armed force in compelling obedience to its Authority.

    To summarize:

    a) Mr. Bundy has purchased the land, grazing and water rights of the areas in question. b) He's paid the appropriate county, state fees. c) The issue is not that he was unwilling to pay BLM, but that the agency basically told all the ranchers they had to reduce their herds by 90% (why, I think this is really about "water", and reducing water usage so more can be routed to Southern California). d) Mr. Bundy refused to capitulate, lose hundreds of thousands of dollars in investments and basically shut down his business on a stroke of an administrator's pen, for a totally unjustified reason.
