  1. We Have 2 Choices on California Attack Has US Rethinking Strategy On Homegrown Terror (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    authorities may begin relying more heavily on citizens reporting suspicious behavior of others

    This is how Police States get started. We can either go the way of the Surveillance/Police State or we can take responsibility for our safety through things like Concealed Carry.

    It's one or the other, not both.

  2. Re:led by a president possibly insane enough to do on KGB Software Almost Triggered War In 1983 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Yes, I was alive then. The Soviets didn't buttsecks Reagan like they do The Zero.

  3. led by a president possibly insane enough to do it on KGB Software Almost Triggered War In 1983 (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    LOL! You gotta love these libs! So stupid, it's funny.

  4. Re:Climate has never not been changing. on This October Was the Hottest Ever Measured (scienceblogs.com) · · Score: 1

    Not the point.
    Point: it's never changed this fast, and it's our fault.
    Denier doesn't get it, news at 11:05.

    What are you talking about? Climate has changed in a matter of hours.

    Mastodons have been found frozen with summer fruit still in their mouths. That means they were in a temperate climate one moment and within the next few hours, frozen for the next several thousand years.

  5. Re:When will this shit end ? on Bank's Severance Deal Requires IT Workers To Be Available For Two Years (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    When programmers have some trust in their skills and marketability and refuse to train offshore replacements.

    Tell the employer to KYA and quit!

  6. Re:Yes - it worked in the Kibbutz! on Can Star Trek's World With No Money Work In Real life? (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    But what you miss is your own admittance that it only worked for a few volunteers, not a whole society. You also seem to ignore your own admission that they collapsed after a brief period of time (in the grand scheme of history.)

  7. The 2nd Biggest Problem With ICD10 is on Doctors On Edge As Healthcare Gears Up For 70,000 Ways To Classify Ailments · · Score: 1

    not it's bulk (that's the biggest problem), but that it doesn't so much classify by condition, it classifies by cause. Knowing the cause (for example "fall off bicycle) does nothing to enhance treatment.

  8. Lucky For Us! on Chinese Compiling "Facebook" of US Government Employees · · Score: 1

    Most people in government are democrats. Things you could blackmail a conservative over are points of pride for democrats. :/

    to voluntarily give up racial stats to politicians & lawyers.

  14. Re:Another punch in the face on Starting Now At Netflix: Unlimited Maternity and Paternity Leave · · Score: 0

    In case you haven't noticed, if it weren't for people having kids you wouldn't be here.

  15. Why? Because He Expects to Make Money! on Why Bill Gates Is Dumping Another $1 Billion Into Clean Energy · · Score: 1

    Just like other oligarchs such as Buffett and Musk, he's learned it's less risky and there's more money to be made from government intervention/subsidies than from actually selling a product that people may or may not find useful.

  16. If at First You Can't Succeed... on Tesla Presses Its Case On Fuel Standards · · Score: 1

    Bribe some congressmen to legislate in your favor.

    Musk must have learned that one from Buffett.

  17. Bad Idea on Google Staffers Share Salary Info With Each Other; Management Freaks · · Score: 1

    No matter what you make, there is someone who is going to be jealous and will try to undermine you.

  18. There's Very Few Things on NY Mayor Commits To Reduce Emissions 40% By 2030 · · Score: 0

    I can think of that have less of a negative impact on the poor than "A" GW. In fact, if we could make the World warmer, it would probably help the poor more than about anything else we could do, other than allowing more grain to be exported from the USA.

  19. All the pwned Machines Out There on Windows 10 Home Updates To Be Automatic and Mandatory · · Score: 1

    This is doomed to failure.
    My guess is that the average virus-infested Windows Home machine will be bricked by this upgrade.

  20. Re:Ignore the 800lb gorilla why don't you? on Barney Frank Defends Political Hypocrisy, Game Theory Explains It · · Score: 1

    The only solution is to make the offices & overall government less valuable. I.e. diminish the ability to create winners. The best way to do this would be to strictly enforce the Commerce Clause.

  21. Re:Do they know? on Silicon Valley Is Filling Up With Ex-Obama Staffers · · Score: 1

    Yes, but these are *cool* capitalists. They don't make their money selling things - that's just oppressive. These are the kind that make their money by having the government disrupt/destroy markets with new regulations (that they helped write) and are into other "Big Government" things like making sure that everyone thinks the same.

  22. Surprising TPP Opposition List on Anti-TPP Website Being Blacklisted · · Score: 1, Interesting

    All the opponents of TPP listed on that web site are left wing. Usually, such groups applaud statist economic and personal intervention, especially with such things as the TPP which is rumored to include some very strict AGW rules.

  23. Socialist Nanny State on Mandriva CEO: Employee Lawsuits Put Us Out of Business · · Score: 1

    FTW!

  24. It's not that great on The Reason For Java's Staying Power: It's Easy To Read · · Score: 2

    I could sure do without the { }.

  25. Why only $15? on Los Angeles Raises Minimum Wage To $15 an Hour · · Score: 1

    $15 really isn't that much, especially in LA. Why not make it, say, $25?
