  1. Re:Who needs this on Northrop to Sell Laser Shield Bubble for Airports · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Yea but Palestinians dont have batshit crazy neighbors who love to kill them with Nukes as soon as they finish their program ala Iran.

  2. Re:Quick question. on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    Ah, so we should start having people get permits for cellphones then? As long as people can get permits it's ok to violate your rights?

    And note I didn't say brandish, I meant if I had it tucked into my belt (yes stupid way to carry a gun), or in a holster, you know I'd get the 3rd degree.

    What does need have to do with it? If a kid wants to carry anything with him to school that's legal to posess, and doesn't disrupt the class, it's nobody else's goddamned business

    By your logic I should be able to carry a gun around downtown, after all I want to, and it doesn't disrupt anybody, and it's "nobody else's goddamned business"

  5. Quick question. on School Admins Demand Access to Students' Cellphones · · Score: 1

    Who exactly needs a cellphone at school? I'm sure you might say for emergencies, but it would be much simpler and just as easy for somebody to call the school and have somebody come get you.

  6. Erm ok? on Anonymous Online Publication - Fad or Trend? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    And why do the vast majority of these use Blogger where the 'owners' of the 'site' have no real control over the actual anonymity of the submissions?

    Yes you can submit it as 'anonymous' but oops, cant do anything about server logs.

  7. Apple == Boring on Apple Investigated Over Stock Options · · Score: 2, Insightful

    You know, I'd put my entire Karma on the line to say that if this was M$, instead of "Yawn, is this news?" posts, this entire story would be "M$ Anti-trust! Evil! Screwing their workers!" posts.

    One word, well acronym, SLA. With your residential if it drops, who cares, there's no rush to get it fixed. With a business, it's a whole 'nother ball-game, if the link dies, a tech is on the way before you can pick up the phone (well not really, but you get my point).

    Taking 2 seconds to view their hompages tells you this:

    The Harvard Law Review is a student-run organization whose primary purpose is to publish a journal of legal scholarship. ... The organization is formally independent of the Harvard Law School.


    What's with people being lazy? Or is it just an attempt at some karma whorage?
  11. Re:GDrive on 17 Online File Storage Services Tested · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Gmail Drive is good if you dont mind it being slow, unreliable, and having the possiblity to completely fail at any given moment. Much less Google locking you out if they decide they dont like people using Gmail as a file backup.

    Aye, trying to explain monocular to a person with good eyes is always fun :)

  13. Re:Grinding your eyeball? on The U.S. Navy's Doctrine of Laser Eye Surgery · · Score: 1

    I'm farsighted actually, with astigmatism. Also had 3 surgeries to re-attach the muscle to correct alignment problems, the glasses are stronger to further pull the eyes in.

  14. Grinding your eyeball? on The U.S. Navy's Doctrine of Laser Eye Surgery · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I've had glasses since I was 11 months old, and as much as I'd like to get rid of them, getting flaps cut or 'ground down' just dont sound very appealing to me.

    Dont they have an "Complete Moron" clause somewhere that says idiots cant sue for being terminally stupid.

  17. Re:Democracy on U.S. Joins Hollywood in War on Piracy · · Score: 1

    Ah, the democratic will of the people in action. At last the US government is listening to the cries of its people to punish those Swedish guys who make free stuff available and aren't breaking any local laws. Oh, wait...

    First I think you mean stuff available free, I'm pretty sure most these things dont fall under "free stuff".

    Secondly, yes they (TPB) might not violate Sweedish laws, but all those downloaders in the US sure are.

  18. Re:This seems like a violation of privacy rights.. on Verizon to Launch Mobile 'Chaperone' Service · · Score: 1

    Somehow, recently, we decided an individual is too stupid to think for themselves until they turn 18.

    No, I think the people under 18 decided that for themselves with their attitudes and behavior. (I'm 21 so it hasn't been long since I was that age)

    Ohh yea, this is a completely cool idea, atleast till you need to get an MRI, or until the coating breaks down like (NSFW) this guy.
