    What about "Star Trek New Voyages/Phase II" thing that has James Cawley as Kirk? (http://www.startrekphase2.de)

    Looks like we might have 2 groups creating Star Trek episodes.

    They tried this in the 90s.

    TL;DW: The rich are extracting trillions of $ from us all. Rep. and Dem. parties, Wall Street and regulators are *all* complicit. (How do you think Bernie Madoff got so far?)

    The NSA is just helping them figuring out who's life to ruin before the whistle get blown.

  4. Re:Stability? on 802.11ac 'Gigabit Wi-Fi' Starts To Show Potential, Limits · · Score: 1

    I bet you have a NetGear WNDR3800 with Stock firmware.

    Nothing but disconnects and reboots. Especially with N.

    Netgear's answer: Discontinue the product.

  5. Re:Just start reprocessing spent fuel on Without Plutonium, Deep-Space Probe Missions May Sputter Out · · Score: 1

    b-b-b-but what about those super insightful laws that prevent breeder reactors needed to reprocess spent fuel rods.

    It would take a-lot of money to out-"lobby" nuclear industry insiders to change those laws.

    FYI: This site is blocked at my work.

    Oh, my phone is ringing. It's security!

  7. Re:I will believe ... on Google's Encryption Plan To Stifle NSA's Dragnet Will Raise the Stakes · · Score: 1

    The only way to prevent this is for Google to spin-off an unaffiliated company ONLY for the US complete with it's own stock ticker and everything.

    Maybe call it GoogleNSA.

    But the NSA has friends in the other 5-eyes countries so this might be moot.

    IOW: we have another JPEG2000: A great idea destroyed by greed.

    In this case, the math and numbers are owned by a bunch of different entities.

  10. Re:Who do people still use PayPal high value accou on PayPal Freezes MailPile's Account · · Score: 1

    And giving PayPunk the card number is better?

    They won't let you delete all your card numbers from your PayPal account. You have to leave at least one.

    The only work around is to cancel the card.

    That's right, Time-Bomb Textbooks.

    Oh you failed that course and need to take it again?
    Too bad, your 1 year "right to read" has expired.
    Pay for that textbook, AGAIN.

    In the US, that kind of talk is blasphemy.

  15. That's it, I'm staying at FF22 for now on Firefox 23 Arrives With New Logo, Mixed Content Blocker, and Network Monitor · · Score: 1

    I don't give a $#it about social "media".
    Hiding controls is seen as a bad thing, especially in these Prism times.

    It's as if Mozilla is trying to create hype around Firefox by pissing off it's users.

          FoxNews called. They want their SOP back.

    Too bad they need protection from the governemnt itself than from the terists.

    Meanwhile in a three letter department:
    Guy#1: When is that false flag operation going to start? We need to justify the need for the PATRIOT Act.
    Guy#2: Soon!

  17. Tesla: cars for rich people subsidized by the poor on Tesla Motors May Be Having an iPhone Moment · · Score: 0

    It seems that the only reason they are selling is that it's a $7500 tax write off for the rich.

  18. Where are the loopholes? on Strict New Anti-Spam Regulations In Canada · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You know. The ones for political campaigning, well connected people, etc.

    Every single one of these Anti-Spam laws come with them.

  19. And this is why we can't have nice things on Apple Sued For Man's Porn Addiction · · Score: 0

    If this does goes bad, religious whack-jobs will have a blueprint on forcing people to fit THEIR morality.

    I doubt it will work thought.

  20. Earthquakes and global warming around us but on Energy Production Causes Big US Earthquakes · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Earthquakes and global warming around us but who cares, we're getting rich, right?

    It's that what matters? /s (-- For the Sarcasm impaired)

  21. Re:American cretin on How Copyright Makes Books and Music Disappear · · Score: 1

    It's because of the No-Child-Left-Behind policy.

    You show up for class, you pass (barely with 50%)
    No need to actually pass a test or turn in homework (That's too stressful for kids.)

    So if you hire an American, a HS diploma is a attendance record.
    Not a proof of competency or education.

  22. Re:As usual. Stallman was right all along. on Richard Stallman Speaks About Back Doors After NSA Documents Leak · · Score: 1

    If you live in North America and you post here, the NSA already knows who you are.

    I'm sure /. being part of a big company now makes it a virtual certainty that we have BigBro reading our shit for kernels of embarrassment for the the elite.

    Even a level of trust that can help a satellite/ship leave an asteroid would be useful.

    After that, a level of trust that can make a ship escape the gravity of the moon would be very useful.

  25. Man, this would be great for spooks on FCC Considering Proposal For Encrypted Ham Radio · · Score: 1

    If you can't tell who or what is transmitted, you can't tell if it's 2 HAMs talking to each other or an agent reporting in to big bro.

    On the flip side, they could also not update the laws and just start arresting HAM operators by accusing them of encrypting.
