  1. Re:They aren't whistleblowing. on Why Whistleblowers Can't Get a Fair Trial · · Score: 1

    The top authority in our US government is not the President, Congress or any official. It is the American people. Because the President and large swaths of the federal government are corrupt to the core, the only higher authority is us. And if we don't care to do anything about it, then shame on us.

  2. Re:I have to deal with this all the time.... on The Right's War On Net Neutrality · · Score: 2

    No I have not noticed this -ever. That is an ad hominem employed by hateful people who are ignorant of history. American conservatives are thoughtful, well-educated, charitable people. We are also typically people of faith and that includes those who follow Islam. We recognize that Muslim does not equal terrorist and we entirely reject any racist attempt to blame any problem on a group's skin color. American conservatives are the ones seeking to roll back the federal government's unwarranted abuses of power by enforcing the limitations placed on it by the US Constitution and the Bill of Rights. Turn off MSNBC and read a little history on the Nazis before you try to hang that badge on anyone. While you are at it, how about learning a little about what American Conservatives actually believe. Here's a good place to start: http://www.youtube.com/user/BillWhittleChannel

    I usually paint it like this: What if ISPs and common carriers started deciding to block FoxNews.com because they didn't like the message?

    Then I'd switch ISPs. If they all blocked it, I'd get together with individuals who reject that sort of censorship and we'd invest in a new ISP would not block that content. However those ISPs who would choose to block content would lose customers and need to answer to their stockholders. Democracy and Capitalism at their best. However, when I delegate control to the Federal Government however incrementally, I'll eventually get hundreds of thousands of pages of regulation. And only the largest carriers can afford to understand and comply with that. And you will probably end up with China-level censorship anyway. Why pay a bunch of bureaucrats to "interpret" the wavering and politicized intent of NN when I have so much more influence by keeping them out of it.

  4. Original has a music video - A nice homage. on Tron: Legacy — Too Much Imagination Required? · · Score: 1

    HISHE just put up their Music Video tribute to the original. The most difficult production they've done yet. A sound endorsement and a work that would make Daft Punk proud http://www.howitshouldhaveended.com/videos

  5. Gazebo Roof on Alternative Uses For an Old Satellite Dish? · · Score: 1

    My friend had one of these monsters left on his property. 8' diameter. He built a pentagon gazebo and this made a perfect roof for it.

  6. Re:Silly Australians! on Australians to Get Compulsory Photo ID Smartcard · · Score: 1

    It is still possible in the US to go your whole life without needing or using either of them. I imagine the Amish and Mennonites get by just fine without them. You only need a Soc. Sec. card if you are going to pay into that government program. If you don't drive a motor vehicle, you don't have to get a driver's license.

  7. Alternatives to Dialup/Cable/DSL on Experiences with DirecWay Satellite Internet · · Score: 1

    I was talking to a Verizon Wireless rep. the other day and he said that the I-94 corridor and the rest of the digital access area of Michigan is expected to get broadband-comparable wireless access within the next year. Wait a little while and get a cellular wireless adapter. Right now the wireless throughput is about 56k equivelent.

  8. Streaming Radio and Audio on Best Options for a Home Entertainment Network? · · Score: 1

    I have used a Turtle Beach Audiotron for about one year. It supports streaming radio through three or four formats, and can play all of your WMA and MP3 files organized various ways from any directory to which it can authenticate on a windoz network. It has fiber input and analog for your receiver/amp and has a screen you can read across a room. I am very happy with it!
