  1. how come cops don't wear public camera on Atlanta's Growing Video Surveillance System · · Score: 1

    if this is such a great idea then they should have cops wear cameras that boardcast to a repository they cannot tamper with and the public can request video of for court cases and other uses. I mean, there is no reason a cop would object to this as a public servant right?

  2. Re:Got my vote on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 1

    airline companies receive huge subsidies from the US Government. They are big money pits.

  3. lucas it doing it for the free publicity on Why Star Wars Should be Left to the Fans · · Score: 1

    If you really want to let lucas know how you feel stop talking about it and don't buy it.

  4. Re:Got my vote on US House 'Creator' of TSA Wants To Kill It · · Score: 2

    if it is privatized it will cost 10x more than if the government does it and the private company will abuse anything they can to make additional money like private prisons have pushed for laws that make it easier to lock people up.

  5. Re:ICD-10 is not "New" on Medical Billing Codes For Injury Via Turtle Among Thousands Created by New Law · · Score: 1

    not a good thing. More bureaucracy for no benefit except for private health care to manipulate it to make more money.

  6. Re:Cue more irrational nuclear panic in 3...2... on Explosion At French Nuclear Site Kills One · · Score: 1

    it is normalized, that puts all of them on equal weighting

  7. big oil tax dodge - no problem on Amazon Folds In California Sales Tax Deal · · Score: 1

    that is because it benefits the wealth few. Amazon not collecting sales tax benefits regular people so regular people need to be taxed more. Got it.

  8. Re:Meanwhile in Russia... on Russia Wanted To Shut YouTube Down For Piracy · · Score: 1

    I better answer would be that governments should not be involved in these entertainment businesses at all.

  9. Re:Time to decommission desktop? on Google Kills Desktop Search and Gadgets · · Score: 2

    I could not do any meaningful work with google web apps.

  10. Re:Can I write this loss off in my taxes? on Solar Company Folds After $0.5B In Subsidies · · Score: 1

    supposing you are a republican, when are you going to get them to stop pushing for more and more subsities to oil, airlines, banks, pharma, and ag?

  11. Re:You can't legislate success. on Solar Company Folds After $0.5B In Subsidies · · Score: 1

    interesting you don't feel that way when the subsidies go to Big Oil. or Big Pharma. or Big Ag. or Airlines. or Banks ... In fact the GOP just made a massive effort to block ending the unnecessary subsidies for Big Oil.

  12. Re:Stop on Solar Company Folds After $0.5B In Subsidies · · Score: 1

    by simply... taking more money from taxpayers and giving it to them.

    works for Big Oil

  13. ban tv ads for prescription drugs on Google Reaches $500 Million Settlement With Feds · · Score: 2

    people who are not doctors have no idea if they need a drug or not so they should not be allowed to be advertised. People going into a doctor's office and asking for a drug by name that they don't need is driving up health care costs.

  14. Re:What do you expect? on When Schools Are the Police · · Score: -1, Troll

    only problem with this assessment is that in Texas perry has been getting school funding slashed and firing teachers.

  15. Re:Neilsen is shitting themselves on Can Google Fix the Cable Box? · · Score: 1

    if they were able to do adsense on a cable box right to your TV unobtrusively like their search engine it could be a disruptive technology. If they really wanted to upset the apple cart they would provide an open api to the cable box and then benefit from thousands of hackers doing things like they do in MythTV.

  16. How many US Taxpayer dollars wasted on this? on Iron Man-like Exoskeleton Nears Production · · Score: 1

    really?

    https://encrypted.google.com/ works if you use the url directly.

  20. sounds like they want a new way to make money on Get Cyber-Mercenaries Suggests Ex NSA, CIA Director · · Score: 1

    and take US Taxpayer money and put it in their offshore bank accounts. No more for-profit mercenaries like blackwater or Xe or whatever they are called this week.

  21. consoles are too old on How To Ruin Your Game's PC Port · · Score: 1

    Hopefully, companies will start pushing tech again on the PC and develop games just for the PC to take advantage of it.

  22. don't buy diablo 3, buy Torchlight 2 instead on Blizzard Reveals Diablo 3 (Real Money) Auction House · · Score: 1

    vote with your wallet.

  23. Re:Too young to hide? on UK Police Charge Suspected Anonymous Spokesman · · Score: 1

  24. Re:Losers on Study Compares IQ With Browser Choice · · Score: 1

    I think it is probably only a predictor that the MMO games that you play are mostly MUDs.

  25. Re:Not really a problem.. on Trade of Google+1 "Likes" as a Business · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I read an interesting article a while back that noted that people may become isolated as everything becomes more personalized and their fishbowl shrinks.
