    But women do not come with "sudo".

  3. Don't see it on Executive Order Grants US Gov't New Powers Over Communication Systems · · Score: 1

    No possible way this could go wrong. The government is always here to help us /sarcasm.

  4. Here it comes on UCLA Develops World's Fastest Camera To Hunt Down Cancer In Real Time · · Score: 1

    Create a video game in which the user flies through the body with a micro-fighter purging the body of cancer cells. There micro-fighters are real fighters that are inside someone's body, and this camera provides the real-time images. Then whoever wins the game gets a scholarship to become a doctor, healing casualties of an intergalactic war. The game winner also gets a robot to take their place on Earth

    AND

    Uwe Boll turns this into a terrible movie.

    If by regulated, you mean that every member of the militia age 18-30 is required by law to have their service rifle/pistol in their home, then you are correct.

  7. The whole point of the interview is that they wouldn't have died if both sides of those conflicts had had nukes. Put the pedantry on pause and RTFA.

    On the Korean War, that is true. On the Vietnam war, while the Vietnamese did not have Nukes, their proxy war masters did. RTF history books.

  8. Proxy wars between major states inside a third-party country is not the same thing as a direct war between the two major states.

    Proxy war or not, millions of people still died.

    The 2.25 million people that died in the Korean War, and the ~ 2 million people that died in the Vietnam War would beg to differ.

  11. Re:question on Ask Dr. Ramsey Faragher About Navigation/Positioning Technology · · Score: 1

    It's a good and legitimate question for people who venture away from cities and urban centers to locations which have no radio or cell phone coverage. Those are areas that I frequent and I asked the question to understand HOW close you would have to be to a electronic signal to receive a location from this method, i.e. how sensitive of a device can be made with this method.
