  1. Re: This is why we need Trump on Cesarean Births Could Be Affecting Human Evolution, Study Says (bbc.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I hope Trump gets rid of vaccinations while he's in office. These diseases are here to help rid our gene pool of bad genes, yet we keep trying to save those less fit. It only hurts our species in the long run!

    We need NATURAL selection.

    Jenny McCarthy is right -- even if for the wrong reasons.

    Good deal. At the next Ebola outbreak, hop on a jet over to that location and help bury the bodies, but you can't wear any protective gear. If you have 'superior' genes, you should be fine, right?

    I really miss speakers that are made with real wood enclosures they sounded so much fuller, crisper, and bigger. Then again I have a tube stack with a 4x12 oak slant back offset classic and greenback Celestions that sounds like it's a crisp 300 watts (it's only 200) compared to the new stuff anyway.

    Sweet! Would like to see your rig! :)

    Agreed. The left wing needs to stop the fake news smear campaign against Trump. It's sad that they can't accept the outcome of the election and, instead, continue making up lies about Trump and his character.

    With all due respect, you are so full of shit.

    America owes the rest of the world an apology. And, when Trump is done and we come to rebuild your tattered industries and feed your starving people, thank us.

    That is the future I see for this country. Thanking you ahead of time. :/

  6. Suppose Breitbart ran a story with the title "Obama calls off Trump's transition, Declares self Emperor."

    Breitbart would never run something like that. Are you too stupid to realize this or are you just using this to smear Breitbart?

    Honestly, I think they would.

    The father had legitimate concerns about how she would live after 200 years if she was revived (cited in another post of mine below). You are welcome to clamor for an endless extension of life, but there are issues other than that that have to be considered, and her genius of a mom was incapable of seeing beyond the suffering of her little girl. And cryogenically freezing her would not kill her, so no, it wouldn't be murder: her cells would just be frozen until a time when they figure out how to remove her cancer

    200 years from now when she is revived, she will be a citizen of the United Federation of Planets (or will become a ghoul, depending on what universe evolves). She will be provided for.

    "The Windows vulnerability is a local privilege escalation in the Windows kernel that can be used as a security sandbox escape. It can be triggered via the win32k.sys system call NtSetWindowLongPtr() for the index GWLP_ID on a window handle with GWL_STYLE set to WS_CHILD. Chrome's sandbox blocks win32k.sys system calls using the Win32k lockdown mitigation on Windows 10, which prevents exploitation of this sandbox escape vulnerability."

    How in the hell does anyone find this shit to start with? Where does one begin when trying to find bugs and vulnerabilities? Do these folks spend day in and day out sitting on a shitbucket, eating Cheetos and Monster and have absolutely no freakin' life???? SMH....

    FTA....

    Moving into big cities was a contentious point inside Google Fiber, according to one former executive. Leaders like Barratt and Dennis Kish, who runs Google Fiber day-to-day, pushed for the big expansion. Others pushed back because of the prohibitive cost of digging up streets to lay fiber-optic cables across some of America’s busiest cities.

    'Others', as in SHORT SIGHTED 'ACTIVIST' SHAREHOLDERS who want that quarterly price target hit, were the ones who pushed back.

  19. Consider yourself lucky. I'm in Seattle and the best service I can get is a pair of shotgunned 128K ISDN lines for $350/mo. It's either that or dial-up. I can't even get a solid 2 bars on my phone.

    That's pretty sad. Here in BFE Arkansas, I can either have either Ultimate Internet by Cox Cable (200/20 - most other places it is 300/20 - $99.99/month) or symmetrical gigabit for around $275 via FTTH.

    You would think Seattle, WA (home of Microsoft, etc) would have a virtual cornucopia (sp) of broadband options??
