  1. Re:I'm so mad, I almost want to vote for on University of California Hires India-Based IT Outsourcer, Lays Off Tech Workers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Trump played the game as rigged.

    Clinton helped rig the game.

  2. Re:Student loans need to have chapter 7 and 11 on University of California Hires India-Based IT Outsourcer, Lays Off Tech Workers (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    They used to be. But then the federal government took over the entire industry and got rid of bk'ing student loans. After all, if the government can borrow money from itself @ 3% and loan it to someone for 6% and keep the profits, why should it let the private sector do it.

  3. Re:Why Wasn't Karl Rove Imprisoned As Well? on FBI Releases Hillary Clinton Email Report (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Don't be an idiot troll. Those R related emails were later found. And the funny thing is, they were party related emails so they, by law, were not allowed on government systems.

  4. 87 seems like a high number until you fucking realize it includes the attackers.

  5. Let me guess....Sean Smiths mother is a liar then?

  6. You. Did. Not. Just. Play. The. National. Fucking. Security. Card.

    You. Did. Not.

  7. The funny thing w/ Standard Oil is the bigger the got, the cheaper oil (kerosene being the primary product back in the late 1800s, gasoline was a by product) became. In 1870, Standard Oil held 4% of the market and a gallon of Kerosene was 26 cents. Two decades later Kerosene was 7 cents a gallon....and this was after Standard held a 90% market share for 10 years.

  8. And they'll eventually find a Republican to blame. on At Least 33 US Cities Used Water Testing 'Cheats' Over Lead Concerns (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    After all, Dem's at the local level or state level are not allowed to be held accountable, only the first republican on the food chain as Snyder and W. can attest to.

  9. Correction....

    The MBP is one of the best Windows laptops out there (once you get Win10 loaded).

    And another liberal demonstrates that it's just a short road from liberalism to fascism. No ideas allowed that don't resonate in the echo chamber.

  11. all the welfare programs that basic income was meant to replace will be back. Because politicians like creating dependents who will vote for them.

  12. The argument is not much of a straw man when when it already happens.

  13. What about setting permission on the registry folder to read-only?

  14. Re:History? Really? on British Court Rejects Donald Trump's Attempt To Block Wind Farm (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Tell that to all the rich (liberal) folks who stopped a wind farm in Nantucket...

  15. Re:A typo my ass... on A Typo Almost Derailed Paris Climate Deal (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    It would be subsequent administrations which would have to be forking over capital to fulfill that "shall" obligation.

    Not necessarily. There is precedence for the President to cancel a treaty. In Goldwater v Carter, the Scotus basically declined to get involved in the canceling of a treaty while saying it was a political question. Basically, congress needs to bitch about it before it becomes a issue.

  16. Re:Artificial Banana Flavouring on Disease Threatens 99% of the Banana Market (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    Whenever I travel to Hawaii, I buy a bunch of Apple Bananas. They have slight apple flavor to them. Unfortunately, you can't get them on the mainland.

    The explain why Democrats are so frothy mad these days?

    Hint...take off the blinders and see that they all don't have the law nor the facts on there side.

  18. Re:None of the people I know that Like this Show.. on What Non-Geeks Hate About the Big Bang Theory · · Score: 1

    As a long term geek, I cannot stand this show. None of the geeks I know watch it (although that is like a the liberal from Manhattan wondering how Nixon was elected even though none of their friends voted for him). It's just a generic multi camera sit com that plays to the lowest common denominator like shows such as Friends before it.

    Personally, I always thought Community was the show that geeks watched.

  19. We already have our preview trial on A Call To RICO Climate Change Science Deniers · · Score: 1

    In the form of Micheal Mann (of the discredited hockey stick) vs Mark Levin. Mann sued Levin (actually both the National Review and Competitive Enterprise Institute that Levin put forth his opinions via) for defamatory statements and fraud due to Levin calling Mann a fraud. Of course Mann put forward in his initial press release about the suit that he was awarded the Nobel peace prize along with Gore...a blatant lie. Levin countersued for $10m and now it's going through the courts. Since Levin is counter suing, all of Mann's work is subject to criticism.

    "The people who are working to correct a flaw in our society may be wrong in their methods but that doesn't discredit the core reason for their actions."

    The ends justify the means.

    And what about pro climate change scientists who have been caught lying to the public while making a profit on climate change (through government grants). Will they every be prosecuted?

    Not bloody likely.

    Yea, they were. I had deal w/ the Occupy smell on almost a daily basis in Oakland. The hammer and sickle was a very common sign then.

    This is why I swapped to Fire TV from chromecast. Aside from casting HBO GO, everything I'd do w/ a chromecast I can do w/ the fire TV Stick and more. More being running Kodi (aka XBMC).

    Every vote should be backed up by a paper ballot.

    Every voter who makes that vote should be able to prove they are a legitimate voter for those votes.
