  1. BSDM on Utah Leads the Way Toward RFID Privacy Legislation · · Score: 0

    They were gonna do some kinky stuf. Maybe a cutting. Damn dumb to do while drunk, tho.

  2. Re:Name one civil liberty that has been violated on Viet Dinh Defends The Patriot Act · · Score: 0

    People are being heald without charge and without accesss to any council. That sounds like a very blatant violation to me.

  3. dimming and warming are separate on Global Dimming · · Score: 0

    The article states that light of certain frequencies is dimming. Studies must be done from space to determine if the albedo of the earth is altering due to this. If paticulates and aerosols are absorbing the light, their temperatures is also rising.

  5. the 10% on Gore Vidal Savages Electronic Voting · · Score: 0

    The 90% that you see are just the voices and do not call the shots.
    The 10% that censor what those toadies say are more powerfull Republican toadies.

    In the end, money will always win over justice.

    Aluminum actually radiates heat pretty poorly, however, you can approximate everything to a black body which radiates based on the difference of the temperature of the aluminum^4 and the ambient temperature^4 (where the ambient temperature is 3 K)

  7. stuck in socialism on Computers, Unemployment and Wealth Creation · · Score: 0
    Socialism starts with the big contracts. Look at Haliburton in Iraq.


    If the small penny welfare socialism was removed, people would start to sniff around and complain about the big money socialism.


    It's going to be very difficult to remove.

  8. oh great on Platform Evangelism · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    We're going to have an evangalism on terror

  9. Changing my mind on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1

    Actually, am thinking that there are some things I would not want my kid to see. Real people dying, people being raped or tortured or hurt (even animals being tortured). So, with a little thought (and some more coffee), I agree with you more.

  10. I like a good argument on Senate Approves Censored .kids.us Domain · · Score: 1
    While I agree with most of your points, I had a question on one of them. You wrote :
    Censorship is a bad thing only when foisted on adults. I think, however, that you are going to have a pretty hard time making the case that keeping a 7 year-old from accidentally encountering www.fursuitsex.com is a bad thing.
    Just to try to make that argument (a debating challenge), I wonder what happens if your kid sees that. Does the kid's head expload or suddenly the kid wants to do that? I really really doubt it would damage the kid one white. However, if the kid sees a site telling people to 'Kill the ' and giving arguments for that, you might have a problem. Well, unless you are a parent with enough time to talk over the whyfores with your child. I am in favor of this because there isn't enough times for parents these days to adequetly parent their children. This will contribute to the blanding of America, but probably not more than other homogenizing factors anyway.
  11. Re:why so long? on Microsoft Targeting Indian Developers · · Score: 1
    Can you attack the argument instead of make random hypothesis on my finantial condition? I just can't understand why someone would want so much stuff.

    And really, he didn't do millions of more times of work than the rest of us. That is just absurd to say that he did.

    Just uncoordinated. The Saddam crack was so weird that it upset my train of thoughts.

  13. Re:why so long? on Microsoft Targeting Indian Developers · · Score: 1

    Yes, I only give about 7% of my income away. Truth is, I cannot afford to give away much more as I still have school loans to pay off. Mr. Gates hoards gobs quite uselessly. What percentage of what he have does he give away? How much of that is tax deductable? Oh, Saddam is in the same category. Why you brought him up shows a lack of integrety on your part. That is, in bad faith bringing up an unrelated issue to cloud the real one.

  14. why so long? on Microsoft Targeting Indian Developers · · Score: 1

    The amount of wealth he has collected is pretty damn obscene. Yes, he can have all of that for himself but that doesn't mean he should. He has accumlated an amount beyond all reason, much of it through illegal or at least arguably unethical means, just so he can become the richest man in the world and win that game. If he were generous, he would take what he needed to live really really well and give the rest away. What took him so long to give a teeny bit of what he owns away? -snartal

  16. why on How Should You Interview a Programmer? · · Score: 1
    Why do you want to be a programmer? I put this question to an MIT graduate in Computer Science. They hadn't a clue and I don't think they liked programming at all.
