    What could go wrong? ... It would give some meat to the expression "blue screen of death".

    me to take notes on it with some sort of stylus, then it's worthless to me.

  4. Re:How to do this right? on NY Times To Charge For Online Content · · Score: 1

    what does requiring registration have to do with providing content that people want to read (because they believe it's high quality)?

  5. Re:How to do this right? on NY Times To Charge For Online Content · · Score: 1

    maybe the question should be "what paper has more eyeballs belonging to people with excess money"...

  6. Re:How to do this right? on NY Times To Charge For Online Content · · Score: 1

    the alternative if nothing changes is for the Times to piss all its money away until it closes its doors in bankruptcy

    or perhaps consistently and copiously write articles that everyone wants to read because they are high quality ... which, oddly enough, brings back advertisers when there are lots of eyeballs

  11. Re:Uh yeah, whatever... on Engaging With Climate Skeptics · · Score: -1, Troll

    You forgot the word criminal.

    The people no longer deserve the title scientist - they were engaged in a criminal enterprise in creating false reports to justify the investment of others. If this were a publicly traded company, Bernie Madoff would have a new BFF.

    Until the media raise holy hell about the criminal fraud, we may as well call it by the more descriptive name of Climaquiddick.

    There's a separate common frequency that it's (generally) inexcusable to not be monitoring at all times.

  25. Re:Government parties against neutrality on Democrats, Minority Groups Question Net Neutrality Push · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't the government try to get by with as few laws as possible instead of as many as possible?

    Fewer laws mean less "requirement" to position oneself as a gatekeeper, requiring constant attention from the adoring masses, and of course constant campaign "donations".
