    I've also heard that he is a Class A nice guy in real life, too. He's like a hero to nerds/geeks/accordion players everywhere.

    Well when I say that I am "burning the midnight oil" I am not literally burning oil anymore but the metaphor still works.

    Sorry that you're 3rd grade reading level failed you. I think in 4th grade they teach you how to use capital letters to start your sentence, too. Perhaps that would help you.

  5. Sad on Man Robs Bank of $1 To Get Health Care In Jail · · Score: 1

    It's a really sad story and statement about healthcare but I really don't see how this is Slashdot material in any way. The concept of committing a crime so that you can get some free meals, bed, etc. is incredibly old.

    Yes just one of the small $6.5 Billion people who aren't on Facebook. Quite the minority you are.

  7. Re:Yes, the EPA on SCOTUS: Clean Air Act Trumps Emissions Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    Well in 2009 the EPA released a report saying - this stuff is really f-ing up the place so Congress you either create some legislation or we'll use the powers you granted to us under the Clean Air Act to regulate it ourselves.

    Now if the EPA regulates it themselves then there is a chance that somebody will contest whether the Clean Air Act actually gives them that authority and if they lose then the EPA is even more toothless than it is now. If on the other hand Congress passes a law it has a better show of not being overturned and it doesn't invalidate the Clean Air Act.

    Of course, Congress is heavily Republican right now and even the Democrats don't want to do something that will jeopardize commerce at this point. It's basically a political stalemate until the economy improves.

  8. Re:Checks and balances, not greenhouse gases on SCOTUS: Clean Air Act Trumps Emissions Lawsuits · · Score: 1

    If you don't like how the government is set up then you either need to move or try to start a revolution to get a new Constitution. The checks and balances exist for a very good reason.

    And these weren't individuals suing - they were states. To me this is probably more about states' rights than anything else. The states want to regulate the stuff themselves instead of relying on the EPA. Which sounds like a good idea until you get a nutty governor who decides that it is perfectly fine to drain every resource from their land.

    Unfortunately, if its legal to smoke in the jail cell you would lose.

    Well said. Some people may react strongly because it is something they believe in but we never want to let the court system override the legislative process because next time it might not be something that we all like so much.

  11. Re:Yes, the EPA on SCOTUS: Clean Air Act Trumps Emissions Lawsuits · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Releasing CO2 isn't illegal as long as it falls within current regulations. Suing the power companies is like me suing smokers (who are smoking in legal places).

    Right or wrong - the courts shouldn't be making laws - that's congress's job.

    You can't use scientific evidence that Creationists believe is false and made up to prove a point about Creationism. Either you accept science or you don't.

    Who in the world talks about Darwinism anymore? What century are you living in? Contrary to religion - science adapts and changes based on the latest and greatest information.

    Intelligent Design is a branded version of Creationism with certain things obfuscated (like who the creator was) in order to try and fool people into believing it is science. It is the lowest of the low, sleazy backhanded way of trying to trick people.

    And God creating something has been scientifically observed? Did I miss that on the news? You are asking to scientifically observe something that takes thousands/millions of years to happen.

    You have a more open-minded approach but it doesn't jive with the Old Testament or current church teachings. You basically are just questioning the big bang vs some third party saying "go" and then walking away.

    So in other words you are saying that the first couple of thousand of years mutations were really quickly accelerated and then it slowed down? And, of course, God messed around with things like carbon dating to throw us off course?

    It's not possible to be a strict Creationist AND believe in evolution unless you really believe that all this evolution happened in the last 6000 years.

    Creationists avoid all straight answers by just calling it "God's Will" or "God's Plan". It's a very handy catch-all bullshit answer.

    But it doesn't work with Blackberry right now. It works with only iOS which is the minority of smartphones. If it worked with both then yes it would be the majority.

    You're further behind the times than the Senator. Droid took the lead.

    Google - 33%

    Keep in mind that is smartphones - doesn't include tablets. But if we are talking about making calls to your senator that is the more important number.
