  1. Re:Just to be clear on In the Trump Administration, Science Is Unwelcome. So Is Advice. (nytimes.com) · · Score: 0

    Exactly! This isn't a negotiation on any kind of science, this is pure deal-making which Mr. Trump is quite capable at. As for the science advisors, if you keep doing the same thing expecting a different result...

  2. What's good for the goose... on Bill Gates Thinks AI Taking Everyone's Jobs Could be a Good Thing (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 0

    Ok, all that sounds really nice and altruistic. Does that mean Bill Gates will be dependent on the same concept of income/salary as the rest of the unwashed masses? If not, he can take his bright ideas back where they came from.

  3. Insightful? Self-absorbed perhaps. And here comes the slap of reality... They were investigating the theft of 300 iPhones with a retail value over $300,000, probably a few dollars more than your stolen bicycle. People who would pull of this large of a theft are generally bigger fish in the local crime scene, not the meth head that stole your bicycle. But then again, I guess you had to take advantage of a chance to take a swipe at the "large corporations profits" [sic]. You'll be in your folks' basement until you realize that it's probably going to be corporations that will pay your salary some day.

  4. If you've talked to anyone from the federal government recently, say like the IRS, you've thought you might have been talking to a robot. Now it's confirmed. I think they've been using the really stupid ones to send to the Congressional hearings on things like the IRS and Benghazi.

  5. Re:HAM Operators Used to Be the Real Geeks... on The Ham Radio Parity Act Unanimously Passed By US House (arrl.org) · · Score: 1

    Ok, that should have been "the biggest geeks around were the HAM operators"

  6. HAM Operators Used to Be the Real Geeks... on The Ham Radio Parity Act Unanimously Passed By US House (arrl.org) · · Score: 0

    I'm not exactly saying I'm old enough to remember this, but it used to be that the biggest geeks around were the biggest geeks around. Rather than 0's and 1's, you had to say everything through dot (.) and dash (-). Personally, I could never keep all 26 letters straight so I never got a license. Plus, I grew up after the dark ages. We had CB radios. On a good day we could shoot skip as far as some HAM operators, but didn't have as many rules. 10-7.
