    I was not aware that you could tighten a tin foil hat enough to cut off blood flow to the brain without the hat tearing. I really would like to meet your haberdasher.

  2. Re:Stallman bitches, film at eleven on RMS Speaks Out Against Ubuntu · · Score: 1

    I have no idea what the truth of the situation is, but that is a horrible Wikipedia reference. Through the entire four paragraph section, there is only a single citation. That citation is back to a GNUstep link. That only speaks to the veracity of one aspect of the section and that is not even the Jobs/RMS angle.

    Try again.

    It would help if the food programs were aimed at purchasing from the local farmers *before* shipping food from the US.

    It seems beggars can be choosers. Or at least petulant whiners.

    ...and anything that gets rid of pigeons is a good thing :-).

    But then we might run into a shortage of carrier pigeons.

    Then how will I implement my company's RFC1149 compliant network?

    They didn't just start out with little solar systems. They first started by weighing less heavy things, like Richard Stallman prior to bathing.

    A real American would have a half dozen or more homes in different areas, flying from one to the next depending on which one will be rebuilt due to the next natural disaster. Anything else is just one of the 47% asking something for nothing.

    People that are not parents always seem to know how to parent perfectly.

    Shame it doesn't apply to me dumbass. People like you with your out of control crotch spawn ruining it for the rest of us.

  10. Re:Belcher's not really the same on Brain Disease Found In NFL Players · · Score: 1

    If he was suffering from a brain disorder from too many hits, it had clearly affected him in a much different manner than any of the others. Has there ever been another murder/suicide or some other violent act attributed to a football player suffering from this disorder?

    I was thinking the same thing, but the summary mentions significant findings in people who only played at the high school level. Maybe Belcher was one of these 'lucky' ones?

    Similarly, while I cannot speak to murder, it looks like Junior Seau was suffering from this when he committed suicide.

  11. Re:nothing wrong with suicide on Brain Disease Found In NFL Players · · Score: 2

    It's possible that repeated hits to the head fucked him up, but we don't allow "I was fucked up your honor" as an excuse for other people, such as drunk drivers.

    Are you an idiot by genetics, or did you play too much football? Never heard of: "Not guilty by reason of mental disease or defect"?

  12. Re:I really wish they would try this on Congressional Committee Casts a Harsh Eye On Vaccination Science · · Score: 1

    Not sure how a random wiki map is proof of anything. It certainly ignores the political reality of MD for at least 100 years. You could certainly make a strong argument during the Civil War, considering the lengths that Lincoln and others had to go to in order to keep a path from DC thru Baltimore up to Philly, but with the exception of some rural areas, MD is fairly blue and fairly northern. (Yes, the Western panhandle, Eastern Shore, and Southern peninsula cover a lot of square miles, the population pales in comparison to the I95 corridor).

    Whatever. If national or personal pride is so lacking in your particular case that you feel the need to create an army of ad hominem fueled strawmen, be my guest. If you'd care to learn instead of troll (poorly) then I'd be happy to correct the misconceptions in both your original and follow up.

    You seem oblivious to how easy it is to impress young women.

    So they should not have the right to vote, drink, engage in premarital sex, drive, or any of a number of other things? They just aren't up to the standards of men?
