    To this day, males 18+ must register. Those who do not cannot receive Federal financial aid, nor work as a GS or contract employee for the Fed.

    Pfft. I invented the wheel with round corners.

    It's sorta social, demented and sad, but social.

    They purchased AMC 20 years prior to your vehicle purchase. And Jeeps have never been known to be things like 'leak free'. OTOH, I was rather impressed with how they built them, at least relating to the 1978 CJ5 I used to have. Ran several miles at highway speed with no oil in the sump. And for tens of thousands of miles after refilling it :D Oh, it had about 80,000 miles on it when I bought it. But problem free? Well, how did the oil drain out?

    Point is, if you had gone by anything other than anecdotal evidence, you would have known what you were in for.

    Stop linking to that. It measures perception of corruption, not corruption itself. It tells us... basically nothing.

    BTW, if a mere word inflames your hemorrhoids and thus causing your butt to hurt, perhaps you should consult a proctologist.

    So if an African American objects to being called a 'nigger', an Asian Indian to being called a 'wog', a Hispanic to being called a 'spic', etc. you think they should all consult a protologist? All of these terms are or were in far greater usage than 'USian'.

    APK, I thought you killed yourself after stabbing your roommates and shooting the sorority girls.

  10. Re:Run your own CA on PHK: HTTP 2.0 Should Be Scrapped · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Reasonable idea, but I suspect GE, Samsung, Whirlpool, and all the other manufacturers of Internet connected widgets will force you to buy a certificate from their app store. Hacking your light bulb to install your own certificate will be a federal crime, punishable by PMITA prison or worse.

    'Faster' is meaningless in this context without specifying what is moving faster.

  12. Re:Half Jew, half Chinese... on The Internet Is Now Part of the Crime Scene · · Score: 2

    I'm not sure him being Jewish was relevant. He never mentions it in the part of his diatribe that I read on scribd. Never mentions synogogue or any aspect of Jewish life. I'm guessing that while he may have some genetics that indicate he is of partial Jewish descent, I haven't see that he is one in a cultural, mental, or religious manner.

  16. Re:English, do you speak it? on Quad Lasers Deliver Fast, Earth-Based Internet To the Moon · · Score: 1

    Presumably the point of the lasers is to deliver data. It is not transmission for the sake of transmission. Similarly, the point of the truck and the Maserati is to move something. The most salient analogy would be cargo. But even if it were to move human beings, a truck, train, or freighter is much better than a Maserati unless your goal is to move a single person. Is this quad laser system for moving a single packet? I doubt it.

    A link with a 5ms latency and 25mb symmetrical upload and download width is a faster link than a link with a 350ms latency and 1024mb/1mb asymmetrical width by any reasonable definition of the word.

    Depending on what kind of data is being moved. Interactive web? Probably unnoticeable except for some AJAXy type stuff. For gaming? Sure, you're right. For doing a 500mb transfer via ftp or similar?

    I'll take the freight train.

    Is that what you tell the natives when they try to get you to stop calling them Indians?

    Nobody wants to generate 'butthurt' and 'draw flames'. However, there are millions of Americans that do not want to be associated with the USA in any way.

    You sound like an angry little person. I'm sorry that you feel the need to live your life this way.

    Don't be an idiot. If you have to move 75,000 pounds of freight, the semi is much faster than the Maserati.

    Is this guy still relevant? I guess he hasn't heard, we have a black president. This guy needs to just retire because all he does is try to get people to kiss his ass.

    Actually, Jesse has heard of Barack Obama. I believe his response at the news was "I want to cut his nuts off"
