    yeah, we need this for all types of small development. Maker space and labs in a library format.

    By the time we start to see serious consequences, it's likely to be too late to undo the damage.
    Unless your John Conner.

  3. Re:The pendulum swings too far... on Why We Have To Kiss Off Big Carbon Now · · Score: 1

    Because even at it's most expensive, it isn't expensive enough to justify the price it was getting due to market manipulation. Imagine stock buybacks, but with oil.

  4. Re:Tao on The Mainframe Is Dead! Long Live the Mainframe! · · Score: 1

    The windows guy finished first because he just took a dump on the floor in the middle of the restroom, expecting everyone else to work around his pile of s#(^.

    Yeah, imagine if they discover this before Cheney dies...

    Yeah, that sign on the server that says, "WFYF". That means you picked the wrong server. It stands for, "We're Fucked, Your Fired"

    Many of them, yes. Many are just stupid and ignorant also.

  8. Re:maybe, a state is trying it. Drop outs unknown on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 2

    I would argue that is is already free. If you are poor you get granted the full education minus books. Ask me how I know your parents were upper middle class.

  9. Re:maybe, a state is trying it. Drop outs unknown on Obama Proposes 2 Years of Free Community College · · Score: 1

    Yes, but how many of those drop outs are due to finances. I have dropped out because i couldn't afford to continue, an I know others.

  10. Re:Just what's needed! on Connected Gun Lets Anyone Watch What Or Who You Are Shooting · · Score: 1

    Well, if you live in New Jersey, get cracking. Otherwise, shut up.

  11. Re:And? on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: 1

    Exactly, if 50 people want to watch a knitting channel, they can get it on netflix. This isn't 1999.

    Thank God your here, my house is on fire and I have to settle a contract dispute with the renter.

    exactly, it makes all the equations come out easier if you assume the cow is perfect sphere.

    Well, of course it's fun! :D

    So, this is the equivalent of a bunch of teenagers brewing their own wine and getting drunk at city hall to protest the unjust alcohol restrictions. Maybe they go whole hog and make some moonshine.

  16. Re:Assholes, indeed - NRA doesn't like them. on Gun Rights Hacktivists To Fab 3D-Printed Guns At State Capitol · · Score: 1

    We have to work too
    Because a violent revolution would be a fun time on the weekend. People who advocate guns for revolution have no idea what a real revolution would entail.
    Shutting down interstate commerce, Police and Military "hero's" being killed (no, they would refuse to fire and magically change sides (right)), people starving because food couldn't be delivered, unexploded ordinance causing trouble for decades (trouble like armless toddlers).

    The argument does not hold water for any rational human being.

    Give them a break, it takes awhile to beg rides from Cliven Bundy's ranch. They'll be in Ferguson any day now.

    Murder and crime have been decreasing for a decade, people have posited it was about abortion, or about baby boomers, or about air conditioning. Maybe it's about guns, but probably not.

    Well, I can't drop a pool in an old box and leave it in my garage, leave it in the aisle at target, or leave it in a purse that my 2 year is playing with. All of these have happened with guns.

    I like how your range has intentionally place poor shots, but that's certainly not the case for the police range.

    I'm also going to reply to BlueStrat up above and say I disagree with the more good people then bad people. I think there are more people who are constrained by social conventions and laws then there are those who are not, but that's not the same thing and I think we would find that out quickly if we toss our social conventions and laws out the window.
    Increasingly, it's looking like I will find out in my lifetime.

    Isolating wireless traffic is overkill for most home users. Each machine should be able to protect itself. It's like the old, "the firewall blocks it" excuse. It's not good security, but it might be good security theater.

    Well, I hope you have a business class ISP. Otherwise you are probably paying for ESPN3.

    You know what's really sick? Your paying a similar add-on to your ISP for access to ESPN's website. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E...

    I can't imagine who the poor bastards are that pay for Hulu. Hmmm... Let me pay you the same as netflix and watch ads too, for mostly the same content, maybe a bit earlier. Sounds like a winner.
