    Yes, if your suite can stop the passage of time you can win! As soon as you enter the future, you're finished.

  2. It was a wonderful internet while it lasted. on US House Subcommittee Votes To Kill Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Republicans have just killed the goose that laid the golden eggs. The replacement goose's eggs are gold plated, cracked and spoiled.

  3. I Propose... on Canadian Songwriters Propose $10/mo Internet Fee · · Score: 1

    I propose that the music industry pay each and every Canadian citizen $10/month for pain and suffering over the terrible music they produce!

  4. Fox News always has stories first... on Fox News Brings Video Game Violence Debate To a New Low · · Score: 1

    ...because they make them up.

  5. The real problem is lack of faith on New Mexico Bill To Protect Anti-Science Education · · Score: 1

    People who clamor against evolution insist the bible must be true or how would they know what to believe in. In other words they have no faith at all. People who argue climate change isn't real are uninformed and or stupid. Anyone talking about cloning doesn't know what they are talking about because the science isn't understood well enough by scientists, let alone self-righteous politicians.

  6. Evaluating engineering quality work from non engineers is not in his job description.

  7. app - a small morsel of food on App — the Most Abused Word In Tech? · · Score: 1

    but not enough to keep you going.

  8. If Thor Heyerdaul can be a scientist... on Bombay High Court Rules Astrology To Be a Science · · Score: 1

    ...Astrology can be a science. Although not every scientist will accept the findings.

  9. I always said Apple was worse than Microsoft on Apple eBook Rules Changing For Sellers · · Score: 1

    Now Apple is proving the point for me. Apple - rotten to the core!

  10. Who's watching the watchers? on EFF Uncovers Widespread FBI Intelligence Violations · · Score: 1

    I think they're asleep.

  11. This is why I never bought any console on Sony Sends DMCA Takedown Notice To GitHub · · Score: 1

    I don't want to own any device that some external entity controls. What if cars stopped running if they didn't like the roads you wanted to take? I know, it's possible now but no has had the balls to try to use it.

  12. I knew I had a problem when... on When Smart People Make Bad Employees · · Score: 1

    I walked into Head Office and the receptionist screamed across the office, "The Prima Donna's here!" Then suddenly realizing what she'd said she turned "We mean that in the most loving way." I'll bet. 3 department heads raced across the office all trying to get to me first. By the end of the day everyone's project was back on track. Prima Donna's don't know how to integrate their talent's into a group so you have to teach them. Someone who is developmentally disabled scores about 60 on aptitude tests while an average person scores 100 and the gifted score over 140. The difference between the Prima Donna and the average person is greater than the difference between an average person and the developmentally disabled. That is where the 'is everyone an idiot?' comes from and the answer is "yes, compared to you everyone is an idiot but you don't know everything, you aren't always right and you don't always have the best idea so get over yourself. It is up to you to articulate your argument in terms we can understand so we as a group can come to consensus. If you can't do that we can't use your talents."

  13. Evolution in action! on Real-Life Frogger Ends In Hospital Visit · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is how the gene pool cleans itself.

  14. You get what you pay for! on German Kindergartens Ordered To Pay Copyright For Songs · · Score: 1

    The entertainment industry has spent so much money on lawmakers world wide so they can lock culture up and charge access in perpetuity. When the copyright runs out they refuse to release the material to the public domain. Politicians world wide are all jointly responsible for this assault on culture by taking money from the industry and in turn giving them everything they want. This is what the entertainment industry paid for. This is not the way a free society should function.

  15. How will internet function after ipv4 on After IPv4, How Will the Internet Function? · · Score: 1

    NATurally I would think.

  16. If it's so important, just gather it yourself on Google Declines To Turn Over Harvested Wi-Fi Data · · Score: 1

    This information is still available, you just have to drive around collecting it. The government could attach sniffers to all postal trucks and quickly map out the entire country, they don't need Google. Of course it would be highly unpopular if someone tries to do it.

  17. Re: Contact on Is Going To an Elite College Worth the Cost? · · Score: 1

    Their projects still have to make a profit no matter where the money comes from. Personal contacts make it easier to fund a project but you still need the talent and skills to succeed.

  18. Don't Americans know when they're getting screwed? on Republicans Create Rider To Stop Net Neutrality · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Don't Americans notice the Republicans keep throwing wrenches into all the worthwhile legislation and promoting issues that are not in the interests of the majority of Americans? It goes beyond pulling the wool over peoples eyes, you have to be out right stupid not to see that they are not acting in the interests of the vast majority of the American people.

  19. There's no point in externally controlled devices on Amazon Taking Down Erotica, Removing From Kindles · · Score: 1

    Why anyone wants to buy a device that someone else will control is beyond me. What if you're car wouldn't let you drive to a store that sells porn? Why do we want to put the control of our choice of art in the hands of a faceless corporation?

  20. Why not ban covering up military mistakes? on Military Bans Removable Media After WikiLeaks Disclosures · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The military slaughtered innocent people and covered it up. That was the reason for the leak, to shine a light on wrong doing. To prevent a future leak the military should also own up to it's mistakes and not cover up innocent accidental deaths in future. That would do more to prevent future leaks than any amount of security.

  21. You've seen what they can do to your hard drive, on USDA Services Moving To the Microsoft Cloud · · Score: 1

    watch what they can do to your food supply.

  22. Why doesn't anyone mention the actual problem on With Better Sharing of Intel Comes Danger · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The real problem is the US government killed innocent people and covered it up. A soldier with a conscience decided his government should fess up and released all the documents. If the US government had been honest about it's mistakes and misdeeds, there would have been no motivation for a leak. When the US government breaks it's own laws and goes to great lengths to obstruct justice, it can expect this kind of release of confidential information because American soldiers have also been taught to do what is right. Forcing the government to admit it's illegal actions is the right thing to do.

  23. Re:IBM is no different than Apple on Microsoft Invests In Open Source Software Company · · Score: 1

    Software is protected by copyright. As an author I can't control where you read my book. Why should Apple control where we run their software? The law can be wrong and I think it is here, fair use needs to be expanded.

  24. IBM is no different than Apple on Microsoft Invests In Open Source Software Company · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Apple ties OSX to it's own hardware and no one argues that is wrong, although I think it is.

  25. my cell bar code is 666 on Scientists Attach Bar Codes To Embryos · · Score: 1

    I just know it.
