    Should we throw in the copper mining company executives as well? After all, the copper make Monster Cable possible.

    At least they just prosecuted him instead of launching a Hellfire missile at his house.

    One does not simply vote Vulcan into our solar system. It is 16 light years away.

  10. Re:Vegas Trip on For Sale: One Nobel Prize Medal (Slightly Used, By Francis Crick) · · Score: 4, Funny

    You're right. It's unique and pretty neat. There's a great story to it. But it's not everyday that someone comes in to the shop looking for a Nobel Prize. It's gonna take up space on a shelf for years.

  11. Re:Scientists, sheesh. on For Sale: One Nobel Prize Medal (Slightly Used, By Francis Crick) · · Score: -1, Troll

    And this comment is well on the way to -1 Troll land. For being too honest.

    Pawn Stars would pay $50 for it.

  13. Re:Drones are Piloted on Human Rights Watch: Petition Against Robots On the Battle Field · · Score: 2

    Bought one last week. My well-regulated militia is very interested in not being killed by a Hellfire missile shot by Obama. We are American citizens after all, and subject to assassination order by the President.

    And in case anyone is too dense to recognize the sarcasm.... /sarcasm

  14. Re:Drones are Piloted on Human Rights Watch: Petition Against Robots On the Battle Field · · Score: 2

    I don't think the military has any non piloted robots deployed in combat. Even a turret would be too dangerous.

    Ever hear of the PHALANX/CIWS? Automated turrets that are placed on Aircraft Carriers and on bases in the middle east to shoot down incoming mortars and rockets. Something capable of shooting 4,500 20mm rounds per minute could be very deadly. Because human reaction time is too slow, these turrets DO fire automatically.

    Last I heard, Kim Jong Un turned off the internet for the entire country. How can this be?

  18. Re:Easy solution on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 1

    I stand corrected on the Reaper.
    But in regards to the definition of "carpet bombing", I would say the Reaper's 3,800 pounds of payload is nothing compared to the 70,000 pounds which a B-52 can carry.

  19. Re:Easy solution on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 2

    Drones can only carry 2 missiles at a time, I would hardly call that "carpet bombing". This is carpet bombing!

    And second, have you been living under a rock for the past 2 years? The US has already withdrawn from Iraq. So tell me more about US troops still being there?

  20. Re:Easy solution on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 1

    What's the best way to not be killed by a drone strike when a bunch of Al Qaeda people move into your neighborhood even though you want nothing to do with them?

    Bomb shelter which can only be accessed through a small panel underneath your kitchen sink.

  21. Easy solution on al-Qaeda's 22 Tips and Tricks To Dodge Drones · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The best way to not be killed by a drone strike when you are a member of al-Qaeda is to NOT be a member of al-Qaeda.

  22. Re:Hmmm ... on USPS To Launch Line of Smart Clothing · · Score: 1

    >I'm more baffled by this tidbit ... In 2006, Congress passed a statute requiring the Postal Service to pre-pay for 75 years worth of retiree benefits within 10 years. No other federal agency is forced to make such an investment.

  25. Obvious on In 2011, Fracking Was #2 In Causing Greenhouse Gas In US · · Score: 0

    The main reason you can now see North Dakota from space is the simple fact that oil workers make $90,000 a year and live in an area where an average house sells for $75,000. So they can afford to leave their lights on.
