    Yeah, my cat ate one the other day. Poor bird.

    Check ALL of your assumptions. You've missed quite a number of them.

  4. Re:Spoken like a true multiculturalist on Man Accused of Selling Daughter For Cash, Beer, and Meat · · Score: 1

    So by that insane troll logic, women who endure female circumcision are not "sad" because hacking off a woman's clitoris is part of a cultural tradition.

    I never said that. Please leave, and take your straw man with you.

    If you had botherd to RTFA in the link I provided, you would have seen that this story has been highly sensationalized. In reality, it's a rather mundane case of a man who reneged on paying his dowry.

  5. Re:And Now We Can Watch on US Senate & House Create YouTube Channels · · Score: 1

    ...with a democratic majority in both the House and Senate and a democrat in the White House, they're going to get a lot done. The only question is "To whom?"

    There, fixed that for you.

  6. Whew! What a relief... on US Senate & House Create YouTube Channels · · Score: 1

    At first, I thought the summary said, "Following an erection in which online videos played an important role...."

    Nothing sad about it at all; this is pretty normal for his culture. He didn't even realize that it's illegal in this country.

    Check your assumptions. You'll find that at least one of them is wrong.

  9. A waste of time on Switching To Solar Power — Six Months Later · · Score: 1

    "...Loyd compares solar power data of the last six months to determine if solar power is still worth the time and money."

    And the article never answers that question. So while we still don't know how many years his installation will take to get to the break-even point, I can at least tell you that RTFA is definitely a waste of time.

  12. FTA: "It's surprising...." on Storm Worm Botnet "Cracked Wide Open" · · Score: 1

    FTA: "It's surprising that there is no discussion going on regarding the legal preconditions that would have to be created in order to get rid of the threat."

    No, what's surprising is that people are still using Window$ after all these years.

  13. Re:Red lights on The Illuminati Project Pushes For Dark Skies In 2009 · · Score: 1

    That is correct, even if it's obsolete.

    Fifty years ago, when I first started doing photo/darkroom work, the safelights were red. Not for the humans, but because the emulsions on B&W photo papers of that time could not "see" red light.

    Time went on, and about forty years ago we were using safelights that were more yellow than red, because with the then-new B&W photo papers it was that color that they could not see.

    For color work, the safelights appear to me to be a really wierd greenish color.

    So it all depended upon what kind of photo paper you were using, but it always had to do with which color the paper could not see.

    After fifty years, I finally went digital a coupla months ago. I kinda miss the old darkroom environment, but not enough to go back to it!

  14. Re:I am confused... on The Illuminati Project Pushes For Dark Skies In 2009 · · Score: 1

    Where, pray tell, on the east coast (where I live) can I drive "a couple hours" and be 150 miles from the nearest town, city, or lighted interstate?

    That's the whole point -- there is virtually no where in the continental United States left that has truly dark skies anymore.

    Damn Easterners. The goddamn East Coast is NOT representative of the entire continent. Try pulling your head out of your East Coast ass once in a while and go see the rest of America.

    Damn near one-third of the CONUS still has truly dark skies.

    There are very few truly dark places left in the continental US.

    So, you've never been to Montana, or Wyoming, or Idaho, or eastern Oregon, or northern New Hampshire, have you?

  19. Hoo boy... on Chemical Pollution Is Destroying Masculinity · · Score: 0, Troll

    Talk about old news! The whole Endocrine Disrupter hoax was debunked several years ago. But of course, facts have never mattered to the anti-Industrial-Age robots of the Left, now have they?

    They're probably figuring that with an anti-business democratic socialist about to take the highest office in the US, they proabably have a chance getting this retread of a hoax to fly....

    The Great Flying Spaghetti Monster has revealed to us that there is a link between pirates and global warming, as piracy goes down, global warming increases.

    Hear hear! And the fact that there hasn't been any global warming for ten years now (i.e., since 1998) is proof!

    Oh, praise His Noodly Appendage.

  24. As if the AP has any room to talk... on AP Suspends DoD Over Altered US Army Photo · · Score: 0, Troll

    Presumably, photos of spectacular truck collisions that have been doctored is OK. I don't seem to remember hearing about AP cutting off images from NBC News....

    And I guess images of faked memos are also perfectly OK because I don't remember the AP cutting off CBS News from submitting images, either.

    Wait a minute... OK, I get it now. If it makes a Rebublican, or a business, or the military, look bad it's OK. But if it makes one of the above look good....

    Well! We just cannot have that!
