  1. Re:TSA is above the law on TSA Employee Stole $50k Worth of Electronics · · Score: 1

    He is a government employee. The government exempts themselves from most of the laws that you and me have to follow. I doubt he will even get a slap on the hand.

  2. Re:Communication on Snow Falls On the Most Arid Desert On Earth · · Score: 1

    You need to understand how Climate Change works. If there is a hypothetical town in Iowa that had recorded tornadoes for every day in March, although not in the same year, except march 7th. For example, they had tornadoes on March 1st 1942, March 2nd 1979, March 3rd 1983. If they get a tornado on March 7th of this year, then that proves that Global Warming exists and is caused by man. No other possible explanation will fit their models.

    Lief Ericson made it to america first, but managed to stay only for a short while. It would be 500 more years before explorers returned from Europe (and not in the best form, it should be said).
     

    And he had to fight with the natives, too. Those natives were always getting in the way of the first discoverers.

    You can see what to expect by just listening to the current president

    1. Rich people are pure evil.
    2. Only rich people can afford to build their own spacecraft.
    3. Therefore spacecraft are evil.
    4. Incredible increase in taxes on spacecraft.
    5. Spacecraft manufacture/jobs move out of the USA.
    6. The end of US spacecraft.
    7. Another successful economic stimulus program program for Obama!

    Shutting down? Hardly. Aren't there exciting new research programs into how to turn shit and piss into delicacies? What could be more exciting?

    Actually, what they are trying to invent is something called Soylent Green, and they've only got 10 years to do it in.

    For some reason, while considering this article, I keep thinking of street side lemonade stands.

    Which is worse? Recycled pee, or lemonade made by a kid with no hygienic controls?

    You know, you could just save all that money, and run over to Bobs BBQ Shack and pick up what you want ready made. Instead of having your robot make it, and blaiming all the burnt bits onyour stupid robot, you could blaim it on Bob instead.

    I can see why these aren't in demand any more. I'd also prefer the XP-38 to this noisy thing. And where are your droids supposed to sit?

    Expect soon to see a rash of graves being dug up, with the corpses shaved bald. The outraged victims will rise up, thus starting the Zombie Apocalypse. But at least we get to have some crappy glass frames.

    It also takes reliable measurements. That is, weather monitoring stations that were once in wilderness are now in suburban areas.

    If you were to check out most temperature monitering stations in use today, as others already have, you will find a significant number of them mounted within a few feet of air conditioners. Definately improves the necessary measurements.

  19. Re:Not the end of HUMAN spaceflight...just AMERICA on Can the US Still Lead In Space Despite Shuttle's End? · · Score: 1

    SpaceX is not designed to be an exploration company, they are expecting to make a profit on their spacecrafts. They are developing vehicles that will be profitable. That means that every time they go into orbit, someone is going to be paying for it. They are probably not planning on circling the Earth with a schoolteacher on board so they can televise a "class in space". If they don't go commercial, then they will run out of money and go out of business really fast.

    Flying around in space is expensive, and if you don't have a government behind you to confiscate other peoples money to pay for it, then you need to find another way to pay for it.

  20. Re:Yes it is the end ... on Can the US Still Lead In Space Despite Shuttle's End? · · Score: 0

    We're not quitting space exploration, last I checked there was plenty probes and rovers and telescopes on the drawing board that'd go into space or observe space.

    I'll bet that 99.99% of those plans will never be implemented, because the government will need all the money to fund things like ObamaCare and Welfare, and be able to include illegal immigrants under their "protections". They believe that illegals will supply them enough votes to stay in power. NASA doesn't bring in the illegals, so its budget gets cut every year, if they even bother to do a budget.

    Umm, sorry, but all those "inventions" came from Area 51, from reverse engineering the numerous UFO's they have collected there. Including TANG! Does that stuff really taste like anything that was grown on earth?

  22. World records on Bug With "Singing Penis" Is World's Loudest · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    There's a category in the Guiness World Records on "Loudest singing Penis"? Who is competing in that category? There's a lot of actors, and Democrats, but I don't think they are what I'd call singers.

    The fact that Al Gore expects to be head of a carbon credits company that makes $$Billions of dollars if "GW is caused by man" has NOTHING to do with his stance on "is anthropogenic global warming is real"?

    And Kentucky Fried Chicken has nothing to do with the poultry industry.
