  1. Re: Art experts say it is worth 2x shredded on Banksy Artwork Self-Destructs At Auction Right After Being Sold For $1.3 Million (cbsnews.com) · · Score: 0

    Again, the gun was used to do the bludgeoning. The gun itself did not bludgeon the person.

    Why is this so hard to understand?

    What if the gun was Megatron?

  2. Re:He did always have the funding... on A Shadowy Op-Ed Campaign Is Now Smearing SpaceX In Space Cities (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    He could have sold his stake in SpaceX, worth about 30 billion dollars, and taken Tesla private. He simply chose not to. The SEC action is baseless and and serves only to defend the obsolete and corrupt from competition.

    If he actually sold his SpaceX stake and filed documents for funding, then funding would be secured, and we would be ok. Otherwise, an owner is not allowed to make those sorts of statements. You can't just say this, and say "changed my mind" afterwards. And the $420/share reference?

  3. Re:What if I don't want a password? on California Bans Default Passwords on Any Internet-Connected Device (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    The summary is... not quite specific enough. The appropriate section of the bill reads:

    (b) Subject to all of the requirements of subdivision (a), if a connected device is equipped with a means for authentication outside a local area network, it shall be deemed a reasonable security feature under subdivision (a) if either of the following requirements are met:
    (1) The preprogrammed password is unique to each device manufactured.
    (2) The device contains a security feature that requires a user to generate a new means of authentication before access is granted to the device for the first time.

    So IF a device needs a password, the preset password must be unique, OR a user must change the password before the device becomes fully functional.

    But is that what he did? Or was he simply lashing out at those who he believes have wrongfully accused him of something he has started as not true?

    He started touting evil conspiracy theories that I would expect to read on Brietbart. IE, things too stupid and partisan for me to be comfortable with coming from a Supreme Court judge.

    IF, in the unlikely event Kavanaugh is proven to be a rapist, then arrest him and impeach him.

    Who is going to impeach him? The Republican majority has made it quite clear that they don't give a shit about his sexual assault charges; as with mall-stalker Roy Moore, they're on his side until the very end.

    "Political execution" is a metaphor. Only real execution (or real criminal conviction) requires the "beyond a reasonable doubt" metric. I certainly wouldn't let the guy date my daughter, no matter how many people told me that oh, those allegations of sexual assault were all just he said, she said.

    You gave Clinton the top job in the US. There were tons of verified rapes he committed. You sure you stand by that?

    First, there were zero "verified rapes" that he committed. He was a serial sexual assaulter, most of which reached wide publicity as part of the Whitewater investigation. I can guarantee that if that was exposed during his first term instead of his second, that he wouldn't have had a second term.
