  1. Re:March on Washington! "We demand more debt!" on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    No I understand it completely because WAS a cheap sarcastic laugh which is why I posted it.

  2. Re:March on Washington! "We demand more debt!" on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    You do realize my original post was that of sarcasm right?

  3. Re:March on Washington! "We demand more debt!" on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    yea, plus there are too many college level words. WAY too complicated :)

  4. Shetland Islands on LulzSec Calls For PayPal Boycott, Spokesman Arrested · · Score: 2

    Nothing against the Islands but that is probably one of the LAST places I'd look for him.

  5. March on Washington! "We demand more debt!" on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 4, Funny

    So we should march on D.C. this week? What should I put on my sign? "More Debt NOW!"?

  6. Re:Rewrite the Constitution or face default! on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 1

    His statement is a statement of fact based on what we are observing. Yours is an emotional cathartic spew.

  7. Re:too big to fail? on House Websites Jammed After Obama Debt Speech · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Actually, you are almost right. Our system of government where most of the power has been transferred to a central authority away from the states is what does not scale.

    Originally the system was designed with Federalism that distributed power. That is almost entirely gone now with nearly all power residing in D.C.

    Repeal the 17th Amendment (let states decide for themselves if they want to elect Senators by popular vote in their states, many will do so on their own and some will not)

    Get rid of the Federal Reserve system. Competitive banking instead of a monopoly cartel where the same commercial banks who in many circumstances have their CEO's running Federal Reserve regional banks that control the money.

    I have no problem with some states being progressive and others being conservative so long as basic negative natural rights are respected and protected by a Federal Authority who's power is primarily that of protecting those rights and common defense.

    I'm not insane for wanting what Jefferson and Madison wanted and designed instead of what Alexander Hamilton and John Adams thought would be cool (American Empire)

  8. Re:What if scenario on Court Filing On How 2004 Ohio Election Hacked · · Score: 1

    No.

    Bush is gone. He was president and now it's over. They didn't invalidate Rutherford B. Hayes laws after he stole that election and they'll not invalidate GW's either if it turned out he did.

    You mean the triangle ISN'T supposed to be as loud as the canon fire? :)

    Geeze...if Samba is broken in your Mac clients then replace it with a later version from Macports or download the samba source and compile it from there.....then deploy it!

  11. Re:Newsflash: Apple couldn't care less on Will Apple's Lion Roar For Business? · · Score: 1

    Yea, Apple just became the #2 by revenue company in the world of information technology just passing IBM and now targeting HP. They've done all this with just the most minimal attention to the corporate world as can be imagined.

  12. Re:Well-behaved LAN client != Managed client on Will Apple's Lion Roar For Business? · · Score: 1

    You obviously have not looked around. There ARE products (3rd party) for full management of Mac workstations in business environment. They do work.

    Not quite true.

    If the CIO/CEO is interested in the coolness factor then the Enterprise will care about te coolness factor.

  14. Re:Senator Sander, you know better. on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    No. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors in D.C. is a Federal Agency. The individual Federal Reserve Banks are private and government sanctioned. The board of governors in D.C. direct the banks (or delegate control back to the banks).

  15. Re:Senator Sander, you know better. on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    There is a difference between the Federal Reserve Board in Washington D.C. and the Federal Reserve Banks. The Banks are privately owned government sanctioned. The Federal Reserve Board of Governors IS a government agency.

  16. Re:This is well known on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but maybe not. The counter factual of "it would of been worse" is hard to prove.

  17. Re:16 trillion? A typo? on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    You do understand fractional banking right? The Federal Reserve system is not limited to creating currency that they have actual assets for. This is why the dollar is a "fiat" currency.

  18. Re:Ron Paul 2012 on Fed Audit's Initial Report Reveals Trillions in Secret Loans · · Score: 1

    People talk about the Gold standard and then get crushed by critics.

    I want currency and banking COMPETITION. If gold wins so be it, if something else wins that is fine too. It's not gold in particular that I care about just something other than money backed by nothing other than "because"

  19. Dude...what you have is NOT ON DEMAND on Why Netflix Had To Raise Its Prices · · Score: 1

    What you want when you want? Are we talking about premium CHANNELS? Channels in case you remember are not on demand...well on demand flip to the channel and watch what they have on at that time.

    You do get some bonus streaming features (like HBO on demand). But no way does your on demand streaming options with the $16 month premium channel package compare to Netflix when it comes to selection.

  22. ISS suits? why is this the "last spacewalk" on Last NASA Spacewalk Marks End of Era · · Score: 1

    Ok. It's ISS crew. Are they not using their own suits? Or did they go over to the shuttle, use their suits and go out their airlock. And if so WHY?

    SpaceX should have it's Dragon module with a crew within 3 years hopefully. They've already fired the thing in to space and retrieved it. It's just a matter of finishing off the crew support and contingency systems.
