  1. Re:Why yes...which is greater? on US Navy Sells 'Top Gun' Aircraft Carrier For One Penny · · Score: 1

    It was either take $!00,000, and then still not be able to do anything wth the ship because it wasn't enough money, or GIVE a salvage crew $.01 for them to take the ship for scrap.

  2. What about Libertarians? on US Navy Sells 'Top Gun' Aircraft Carrier For One Penny · · Score: 1

    Why not sell it to Libertarians or Pirates (The party kind, not the "Yar" kind) so they can create their perfect society in international waters?

    I wish I had modpoints, because this is definitely underrated.

    You are absolutely right. I mean, did you see the way that their network was dressed? They were definitely asking for it.

  5. Re:Gawd I hated it! on The Slow Death of Voice Mail · · Score: 4, Funny
    Agreed. Voicemail wouldn't be so bad if people knew how to leave a good message.

    Of course, if my mom knew what voicemail etiquette was, I would probably have missed out on the most hilarious "I am surrounded by furbies and I have no idea what is going on, please call me" (that's the much abridged version) when she found her self downtown during the same weekend as the furry convention.

  10. Blameless Random Employees? on Schneier Explains How To Protect Yourself From Sony-Style Attacks (You Can't) · · Score: 3, Informative
    I thought they got the admin credentials. If they got the admin credentials, then it's probably someone's fault for not ensuring that there was a good password policy, or that they made sure that only the right users had any kind of admin rights.

    Likewise, how long does it take to download 100TB of data? I'm guessing that this was probably something that took a bit of time to pull off, and they probably should have found something while all this data was flying out of their system.

    Step one: Extort a hell of a lot of money Step two: Wait for the press to guess who is behind it all Step Three: Take their wild guesses and run with them. Cause as much chaos as you can. Step four: While everybody is looking at the wrong people, gather up all the money/info you can sell, and disappear.

    The fact that nobody has created a "hitlerdidnothingwrongcoin" yet, actually gives me a little hope for the internet...

    And chicken pox as a kid can lead to shingles as an adult. Likewise, an unvaccinated adult that never had chicken pox can still get the virus, and it is much worse for them.

    Your child had a reaction to which vaccine exactly? Was it just one? Was it multiple vaccines? Do you even know what exactly the reaction was to?

    Just because one child had a reaction to one vaccine, it doesn't mean that all vaccines are bad, or even that the vaccine in question is bad for everybody.

    We just need a bigger bimbo than Jenny McCarthy to sway those opinions. Some doctor guy in a lab coat is only going to grab the attention of a few doctor fetishists. Maybe if we at least got a naughty nurse to hand out the vaccination fliers it would work...

    Crazy ass parents don't vaccinate their child.

    Child has to be home schooled and is unable to meet others due to their unvaccinated status

    Child does not develop good interpersonal skills since all they know is their crazy ass parents

    As adult, still lives in crazy ass parents basement, never meets member of opposite sex, never breeds and becomes crazy ass parent themself

    Antivaccionation movement dies out within a generation.

    There are still online schools, private schools, and home schooling. The child can still get an education.

    We can try to educate the parent, but many people however, have decided that education just isn't for them. WHether they want to want to just blindly follow celebrity "experts" or are citing religious reasons, they will ignore anything you try to show them in favor of the memes they saw on facebook.

    That being the case, they should not have the right to put others kids at risk. If they want the privilege of public schools, then they need to get vaccinated.

    It's going to take more than a bathroom mirror to reflect the beam, so I don't think we need to worry about terrorists doing so. Likewise, there are still plenty of conventional weapons on board to take care of a mirrored craft.
