  1. Re:Might be incentive to buy American? on Supreme Court To Decide Whether Or Not You Own What You Own · · Score: 1

    So, when are you moving to Somalia?

  2. Re:Might be incentive to buy American? on Supreme Court To Decide Whether Or Not You Own What You Own · · Score: 1

    I think this is about when you go buy some mercury and "accidentally" spill it on your property before taking the buyout money.

  3. Re:Yes and no on Supreme Court To Decide Whether Or Not You Own What You Own · · Score: 1

    Why would you single out Obama? Better to just say, "Once the President gets elected...", 'cause you know that's how it's going to be.

  4. Re:Microsoft cares about privacy on Advertisers Blast Microsoft Over IE Default Privacy Settings · · Score: 1

    You're not the consumer, you're the product.

  5. Won't someone think of the children!!!! D: on MP Seeking To Outlaw Written Accounts of Child Abuse · · Score: 1

    "According to Sir Paul Beresford, the MP for Mole Valley such writing 'fuels the fantasies' of offenders and could lead to the physical abuse of children."

  6. Re:Patent infringement on Appeals Court: You Can Infringe a Patent Even If You Didn't Do All the Steps · · Score: 1

    "Intellectual Property", however, is a complete fiction. It's a nicely-distorting term, as other posters have pointed out.

  7. Re:Drug test the final standard? on Lance Armstrong and the Science of Drug Testing · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Honestly, I've always wanted to see someone start up an alternative Anything-Goes Olympics to draw those in mainstream sports who like augmenting themselves so into a venue where that would be accepted, even encouraged. The Baseline League can then go about finding the limits of pure human performance, and the Advanced League spurs immediate massive gains in the science of human augmentation. It's win-win!

  8. Re:drugs on Lance Armstrong and the Science of Drug Testing · · Score: 2

    Apparently you are unfamiliar with the concept of war.

    War is something that happens between two states. You can't have a war with 'terrorist' or even Al Qaida. The best you can manage is a police action with any credibility is a police action.

  9. Re:DRM worked out then.. on Ubisoft Claims PC Piracy Rate of 93-95% · · Score: 1

    Kinda future eco-SimCity, IIRC.

  10. So I assume... on Ubisoft Claims PC Piracy Rate of 93-95% · · Score: 1

    ...he's doing the usual thing of taking all of the unauthorized downloaded copies as lost sales, and then saying that they're losing 95% of all their sales to piracy?

  11. Re:Cue the 1st amendment nuts on Ex-Marine Detained For Facebook Posts Deemed "Terrorist in Nature" · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's kinda like patents. Tack on "...on the Internet!" and it's completely brand new and not encumbered by previous annoying legislation.

  12. Genetically modified? on California Wants Genetically Modified Foods To Be Labelled · · Score: 1

    I guess California has got a lot of labeling to do, then. It's not like anything we eat today isn't genetically modified, or hasn't been for a couple thousand years...

  13. Re:Samsung can't release it's OWN designs?!? on Samsung Admonished For Releasing Rejected Evidence · · Score: 1

    "Mercy" means not trying to force a 17-year-old girl to be responsible for protecting the identities of her rapists for the rest of her life.

  14. Re:My immediate response was on Internet Billionaire Creates Huge Physics Prize · · Score: 1

    The average American doesn't understand the implications of much of the scientific study that goes on, therefore it's useless and the money could be spent "on more important things".

  15. Re:Fusion on Internet Billionaire Creates Huge Physics Prize · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty certain that aneutronic fusion is still way, way out of our reach, so you do have a nuclear waste problem. Namely your reaction vessel.

  16. Re:First my beloved Viper fighter, now this on Feds Ban 'Buckyballs' Magnets · · Score: 2

    Nah, it's stupid lazy-ass parents who can't be bothered actually supervising their children, but instead just shove them at something distracting so they can try to go about their pre-parenthood-responsibility lives.

  17. Re:You're a company on Verizon Claims Net Neutrality Violates Their Free Speech Rights · · Score: 2

    All government authority comes out of the barrel of a gun, sorry to break it to you...

  18. Re:As an American... on EU Commissioner Reveals He Will Ignore Any Rejection of ACTA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Soldiers are trained to obey orders. I wouldn't bet your life on "US soldiers won't fire upon US civilians", since they've happily done so before.

  19. Re:Biased article on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 2

    Yeah, this. Lead doesn't spark against hard surfaces, no matter how hard it's hitting them (okay, within reason; sufficient velocity trumps all). Either way, aren't these guys like wide open for a massive civil suit?

  20. Daft! on Blocking Gun Laws With Patents · · Score: 1

    The whole idea of using patents like this is just stupid. The government can just go "Ooop, hey our patent now" and the whole thing is moot, law goes right ahead. XD

  21. The road to hell... on Facebook Says It Has 'No Intention' To Abuse CISPA · · Score: 1

    is paved in "no intentions".

  22. I can already see... on The Supreme Court To Rule On Monsanto Seed Patents · · Score: 1

    the 5-4 split decision along party lines in favour of Monsanto.

  23. Re:Culmination of a dream on The Supreme Court To Rule On Monsanto Seed Patents · · Score: 2

    Sure. "We revoke your license." Now that crop is your last crop. Ta-dah!

  24. Astroturf, ho! on Canadians Protest Wind Turbines · · Score: 5, Interesting

    This whole thing is actually astroturf by a competing energy company in the region. They've been going around basically stirring up the farmers and whatnot with BS about the wind turbines, posting protest signs along the country roads, etc. All with their little energy company website url at the bottom.

  25. Re:Naturally on Congress Capitulates To TSA; Refuses To Let Bruce Schneier Testify · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If he's in a conflict of interest due to the lawsuit against the TSA, doesn't that mean the TSA shouldn't be allowed to testify either, being involved in a lawsuit involving the TSA? :)
