  1. Re:A simple solution on Cameras To Watch Cameras In Maryland · · Score: 1

    You could always just hack into them. Or hack into the power grid and cause a massive blackout so there won't be any red lights to worry about. That's quite a simple solution.

  2. What about... on Cameras To Watch Cameras In Maryland · · Score: 1

    ...cameras to watch the cameras that are watching the cameras? And then we'll need cameras to watch those cameras. By the time we're done, we'll have the most thoroughly watched security system in the world. If anyone does anything, we'll feel much better knowing that they'll be caught on camera on camera on camera on camera. Take that, criminals! Big Brother has nothing on us!

  3. Well... on Man Pays For Cross-Country Trip Using Bacon As Currency · · Score: 1

    I'm curious as to how long uncooked bacon can last. I mean, sure it's better than attempting this with uncooked steak (much better). I do realize that the meat's been cured, but just how much time does the curing process add on to the amount of time before this bacon is inedible?

    Also, where is he putting all of this bacon? I mean if he's carrying around 3,000 pounds of bacon, how is he going to also carry his luggage? Unless he wears bacon clothing -- or the same clothes everyday (or no clothes at all, for that matter) -- I don't see where his clothes are supposed to go. If he's going to a cold climate, I suppose that would solve all problems. The meat would last even longer and he could wear all of his clothes at once to stay warm.

    Anyone have any ideas on this? I wouldn't even think to attempt this. I would probably start eating my money. I would cook it first, of course. I would need a really big skillet or something.

  4. Education... on Art School's Expensive Art History Textbook Contains No Actual Art · · Score: 1

    ...at its finest. This is a fine example of how our education system works -- you pay for an expensive education and then never stand a chance of having the best education in the world because you don't live in Finland.

    Doubly unfortunately, they'll only project their laws across borders if you're a billion dollar corporation.

    Or the equivalent of a billion dollar corporation.

  6. Re:Well, that makes sense... on Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots · · Score: 1

    Sorry.

    I seem to have been mistaken. It's been a while since I've properly looked at voting laws. Apparently, it was a state law that I was thinking of, not a federal law.

    I might still be mistaken, so feel free to correct my correction.

  7. Well, that makes sense... on Federal Judge Says No Right To Secret Ballot, OKs Barcoded Ballots · · Score: 1

    I mean, barcodes were invented to be unique identifiers, so it was perfectly logical for the county to assume that they could be used in order to eliminate the presence of identifying markings. Yeah, that should make sense to anyone who doesn't think.

    My thoughts on the judge's decision? I don't know what to think anymore. It's a justifiable decision. Nevertheless, the use of these identifiers to determine who individuals voted for (which would inevitably be discovered if anyone looked at the ballots) would be illegal. Unless we don't have the right to withhold such information anymore.

    It's also interesting that both the judge and the county should come to the decisions that they have. Seeing as how the government is trying to encourage people to vote, I imagine that potential voters in the county are getting mixed signals from this.
