  1. Her credentials are also underwhelming on Bush Supreme Court Nominee Former Microsoft Lawyer · · Score: 1

    for a Supreme Court Justice.

    On top of that, Bush decided to pick his personal attorney just a day after Judy Miller talked to the grand jury and there are rumors that a source in the administration has spilled the beans that Bush was in on the discussions to out Plame.

    Odd... a person who is not well credentialed to be on the SC compared to those who are on there now or who have been on there ever. Even David Frum and Michele Malkin says she is not the best person, heck, Malkin even said that Miers is a crony!!!!!

    you are an idiot. PDF files are centered. stop reading e-book formatted files.

    PDF is viewable on all platforms because PDF is an open standard. PDF gives you the same output every time you open it on whatever platform you are on. PDF will not allow anyone to mess with your document.

    PDF is the perfect format to e-mail a document creation.

  7. Buy teh music companies on Music Industry Threatens to Pull Plug on Apple · · Score: 4, Interesting

    That is wht the Tech big wigs need to do. Google should buy one, yahoo, MS and Apple.

    I watched a business show about this and tehy said that each of those companies market caps are large enough to buy one company each. then all you need to do is make the tech companies share the catalouges amoungst each other.

    Tech companies that are trying to sell their technology will have a friendler stance about copyright and the consumer than the record companies would.

  8. Re:Apple Appears on Apple to Replace Faulty Nano Screen · · Score: 1

    the screen scratching I think would fall under the faulty screen issue.

    it is an LCD screen for god sakes, why do you think they have things called screen protectors?

  11. big deal on Federal Agencies To Collect Genetic Info · · Score: 1

    DNA is as specific to the person as Finger prints. If you are arrested, they should be able to take a DNA swab, as long as they destroy it if you are released or found not-guilty, like with Finger prints.

    I also think that when you get bonded, they should take DNA.

  12. Re:Well.. on Extremely Accurate Nanotech Cancer Test Developed · · Score: 1

    in most cases, cancers that are detected "when they notice something wrong" are detected too late.

    almost all cancers that are detected via prevention techniques such as colonoscopies, mamograms, etc are caught with enough time to do something constructive, but by that time it is still farther along than one would like. if you can detect a cancer that has just formed, or is very very small and has not had time to infiltrate other tissues around it, it is very easy to remove and cure. This tech should allow that.

  13. Re:Well.. on Extremely Accurate Nanotech Cancer Test Developed · · Score: 1

    umm, if this is cheap, then it can be done at the Doctor's office when ever you get a physical. The fact that is can detect such low concentrations of markers means that it is good for very very early detection of the cancer and will probably save the lives of the people who get the test.

  14. Re:Screen Protector on iPod nano Owners In Screen Scratch Trauma · · Score: 1

    right because god knows that all material that makes up an electronic device is super hard and will never scratch.

    take a hit from a clue stick moron. you buy something expensive, you make sure to protect it, get a screen protector and a container to put it in that will protect it from gouging.

    I guess though that in your world, laptop s should be water resistant and not scratch ot wear because they are trendy expensive devices as well.

    excuse me, but a level playing field for people to be heard based on limiting fiances that can be donated to a politician or political cause is a far cry from nutzo egalitarianism.

  20. Re:Excuse me mother fuckers on FEC Deciding Future of Political Blogs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    FINANCE reform. how does FINANCE mean speech on the internet?

    limiting the money that can be given by one group is a good thing because that means that everyone's voice can be heard. My 2 grand is as good as the Walmart CEO's 2 grand. and now that he can not give billions away to the RNC and can not monopolize tv time, my voice is almost as strong as his (he still gets access to the top guys one on one)

    Saying a blog cannot post something or a forum user cannot post something, or a forum cannot post a discussion because it is political speech in a medium defined as being media is as bad as the speech police coming and arresting me on teh street because I am passing out "vote for democrat X".

    you however do not seem to care because you are an "anything that makes a democrat mad is good" kind of republican.

    I hope you are happy when the fascism comes and bites you on the ass.

  21. Re:Money = Expression = Speech on FEC Deciding Future of Political Blogs · · Score: 1

    limiting the money is politics is good. it levels the playing field of speech so everyone has a near equal voice. but when Walmart can spend billions giving the republicans money or ad support, that sort of makes my 2 grand donation meaningless.

    I cannot spread lies about some one legally, I can not say things that endanger people (yell fire in a crowded theater). free speech still has limits, and limiting the money is a way to make sure all parties have an equal opportunity to be heard.

    getting big money out of politics is good. squelching soap box speech is bad. that is what the FEC was ordered to do.

    but I am not a PAC or any other political organization. I am simply a citizen with shit to say. Fuck the republicans and their anti-speech tactics. No way in hell is this going to be good for anyone. Yahoo, the huffpo, slashdot, K5, and all the blogs out there will have to sensor themselves because some one might post a comment about a politician?

    it is one thing to limit money, it is another thing to limit actual speech as if it were an advertisement.

    what is next? going down the street and arresting people for trying to convince others to vote for their person? fuck them all.
