  1. Re:Quick reality check on Reintroduce Megafauna to North America? · · Score: 1

    Men hunting mammoths for food is natural. Men hunting wolves to protect their farms is unnatural.

    There are laws of nature, and breaking them isn't particularly wise.

    A factory that cleans like a cat, acts like a cat, so don't expect it to produce anything for 18 hours a day.

  9. It's good to see on You Must Love Katamari Damacy · · Score: 1

    Some nice moral drug induced entertainment, which we haven't had since the Clinton years. I think it's healthy when the populace can say 'wtf??' to certain things now and then.

  15. Re:It'll happen... on Might Episodes VII - IX Still Be Made? · · Score: 1

    Maybe the industry will want more, but Lucas has publicly stated he's done with Star Wars, and he certainly will block anything involving the franchise he doesn't want.

    It will be interesting to see what happens when he croaks though...

    Indeed! And what if, dare I say it, you could inscribe a dark ink onto a light surface that would look like text a computer screen, that could be distributed through various means.

  19. Re:No, wait! on Internet Explorer's Share Dips Below 90% · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Just imagine what the market would be if every user were presented with a informed opinion about each browser without having any of them installed yet, when they first connect to the internet and need one.

    The way things are going, I expect this to become a reality.

  25. Re:Inches from Tyranny on Congress to Revisit the Patriot Act · · Score: 1

    One could compare Madison with Lincoln, since New England threatened to secede from the Union if the US went to war, (since their economy would be hit hardest by blockades), and Madison went to war anyway in order to ensure that America wasn't in effect a vassal of England.

    He was certainly of higher caliber than say, John Adams or Thomas Jefferson,(and hey, Lincoln was gay right?) but regardless he was a founding father of the country and they starting the country we're so fervent about protecting from terrorists, so quoting them seems acceptable given the topic.

    One could argue the White House was sacked precisely because he was so anti-militaristic in his views, so the army wasn't prepared for the attack. (though few people actually died in that battle compared to New Orleans).

    Of course, the war was effectively 'on' over a year before the British committed much of anything at all to the war, as they were busy with Napoleaon, so Madison may have chose a good time to show the British that it's not worth it to push us around.
