  1. Re:Assange is a punkass on Assange Agrees to US Prison If Obama Pardons Chelsea Manning (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I agree. Assange has said on TV that he has dirt on Clinton that he will release in due time. If he has it why not release it now? It has to be because he wants to time the release to do as much damage as possible to the Clinton campaign or he doesn't really have it. Either way, Assange is crossing the line from freedom of information fighter to attempted spoiler of a political campaign in service to his personal grudge.

    I spit on your meager earnings. Apple, you are going down !

  4. It's called protecting America on McConnell Introduces Bill To Extend NSA Surveillance · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When they're looking at you, fine. But congress freaked out when the CIA was looking at THEM. It's fair to say they think rules are great for us, but they should be held to a different arbitrary self made standard when it comes to applying the law to themselves:

  5. How about the F-35 boondoggle ? on US War Machine Downsizing? · · Score: 1

    Like the Healthcare and Finance reforms, this is a step in the right direction, but we should be doing much better (thanks, Republicans) The F-35 is already way over budget and it is predicted to cost 1.5 trillion over the planned lifetime, This is for a tool that barely works. The brilliance of the evil plan was spreading production to almost every state so each one will have a stake in the pork.

  6. In light of this ruling on Copyright Ruling On Publishing Calculated Results: Common Sense Breaks Out · · Score: 3, Funny

    I withdraw my application to copyright arithmetic.

  7. Re:What I don't get is on Are Bankers Paid Too Much? Are Technology CEOs? · · Score: 1

    Certainly the supply of people who want to work for $20 million far outweighs the demand. There doesn't seem to be any correlation between CEO income and performance, so it's a buyers market. So the question's a little more complicated then your reply would indicate.

  8. What I don't get is on Are Bankers Paid Too Much? Are Technology CEOs? · · Score: 1

    what do these guys do for $20 million that they wouldn't do for $10 million ?

  11. Headline should have read on NSA Head Asks How To Spy Without Collecting Metadata · · Score: 5, Interesting

    "NSA Director Keith Alexander, testifying before the Senate this week admitted he's not qualified to protect us from terrorism." He said " I have a limited imagination and can only come up with one illegal solution to the problem". This is despite the fact that many terrorist plots have been discovered without violating rights, and his spying solution has failed to stop others. All he has is a hammer so every problem looks like a nail.

  12. Re:More bullshit from folks who want cheap labor on More Students Learn CS In 3 Days Than Past 100 Years · · Score: 2

    That's like criticizing a music teacher because his student doesn't sound like Eric Clapton after one lesson. You're not expected to become proficient after one lesson, however the lesson was indeed a small step towards that goal. What's wrong with that ?

  13. Re:Hmmm... on Lawsuits Seek To Turn Chimpanzees Into Legal Persons · · Score: 1

    Both corporations and chimps know how to fling excrement at observers who get too close.

  16. Quite a "collector's Item" on New Zealand Turning Hobbits Into Actual Cash · · Score: 1

    You'd getting 1 oz gold in a $3,695.00 coin. Granted there's numismatic value, but at ( spot price last I checked ) $1767, that's quite a markup.

  17. What about the underworld denizens ? on $1 Billion Mission To Reach the Earth's Mantle · · Score: 1

    As soon as they have access to the surface. they're going to want green cards. Instead of the "wet foot dry foot" policy Americans have for the the cuban refugees, it could be "deep foot surface foot". Becha the Mormons are going to want to send missionaries toot sweet !

  18. Crovitz is not a serious thinker on Who Really Invented the Internet? · · Score: 1

    Just the first two sentences of this article disqualify this shill from being taken seriously. The claim that Obama "justified elevating bureaucrats over entrepreneurs" is a disingenuous straw man.Obama is not doing that. Obama's speech is a direct response to the republican party line that:

    1. Taxation is bad
    2. Regulation is bad
    3. Unions are bad

    Obama is correct in saying that no one succeeds in a vacuum. The wealthiest need the government protections, regulations and infrastructure to succeed. The fact that they enjoy these benefits, but don't want to pay for them is understandable (many of them are psychopaths), but the the rest of us should not allow them to get away without paying their fare share. This is not elevating bureaucrats, it's recognizing the legitimate power of the government and the people of a republic.

  19. Success Rate on Nanoparticle Completely Eradicates Hepatitis C Virus · · Score: 5, Informative

    The previous treatment with ribavirin and interferon for one year had a 50% success rate. The newer six month treatment with the addition of Incivek for three months has over 75% rate. Since Incivek has only been on the market for about a year, that success rate is not as precise as it will be.

    What is this "sex" that you refer to ?

  21. Causality ? on Narcissists, Insecure People Flock To Facebook · · Score: 1

    This isn't just a "study out of Canada". It's a study of Canadian university students. So maybe it's being Canadian and not being on facebook that makes these subjects such mutants. I'll bet it's their national healthcare that does it. Freaky progressives is what they are.

  22. Re:Parody? on Geek Squad Sends Cease-and-Desist Letter To God Squad · · Score: 1

    That's a great idea for a show. I would watch it. Hell, I'll audition for it. kjshark starring in Weak Squad. I like the sound of that.

  23. Guilty 'till proven innocent on Child Porn As a Weapon · · Score: 2, Insightful

    As someone who has worked in child protective services. I can tell you, as mentioned in the article; the mere accusation of being involved in child sex will ruin your life. I'm not commenting on his guilt or innocence, but look how many people were willing to believe the worst about Michael Jackson before any facts got out. I mean "the guy's successful and weird, so he must like little boys”!
