  1. the world roots for NK and I? on Microsoft Wins US Import Ban On Motorola's Android Devices · · Score: 1

    It's crap like this, that the world is going to start rooting for the Iranians and N Koreans just to put a thumb, or stake, in the US gubermint's eye. As a kid, I was glad some of my great grandparents left Germany decades before WWI and then the Nazis. Guess it's time to pay them forward.

  2. here we go again... on Facebook IPO Stumbles Out of the Gate · · Score: 1

    I think I smell another Fed Reserve - Wall Street bubble blowing, monetizing the thetans.

  3. hated by fascists on both sides, frozen out by MSM on Ron Paul Effectively Ending Presidential Campaign · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Ron Paul has been frozen out by the mainstream media for decades, from Faux News to the liberal media. His rising popularity shows that people are waking up, albeit, late. Too bad, he could have saved us a few trillion in waste, crimes and losses.

  4. the road to serfdom... on UK To Give Peer-Reviewed Science Libel Protection · · Score: 0

    Defamation is going to be reborn, "scientifically", in Britain by the rich and powerful interests against smaller fry. The problem will not just be "groupthink" but increased attackes by "respectable" peer reviewed British journals that are 95+% financed as captive or corporate whores already.

    This is going further down the road to serfdom, "scientifically".

  5. means better stalked on Minneapolis Airport Gets $20 Million Hi-Tech Security Upgrade · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Now we can be better stalked and assaulted by miscellaneous anonymous government bureaucrats.

  6. Re:If NSA is not partnering with Google on Court Rules NSA Doesn't Have To Confirm Or Deny Secret Relationship With Google · · Score: 1

    Probably early capital and contracts.

  7. shhhh... on Gamma-Ray Bending Opens New Door For Optics · · Score: 4, Insightful

    don't tell TSA or they'll gamma nuke everybody until they glow.

  8. It's only natural... on U.S. In Danger of Losing Earth-Observing Satellite Capability · · Score: 1

    It's only natural that as regulations, unnecessary wars, and spending for giveaways rise, less money is available for other purposes.
    It's only natural that as repeatedly denied, government funded science scandals occur, the public loses faith in government funded science
    It's only natural that as government spying increases, people lose interesting funding anything global with surveillence.

    Basically, we're f&*$#d.

  9. restarting on Japan's Last Nuclear Reactor Shuts Down · · Score: 1

    The Fukushima nuclear reactor sites were constructed with obvious safety issues, including fratricidal crowding and a low seawall. The crowding was discussed in Nuclear Safety, an industry magazine, in the 1970s. The low seawall problem was obvious to any engineering student and reflects management problems. Japan might do well to get independent assessments from other regulatory bodies or consultants. And jail a few execs and failed regulators for unnecessary multiple losses of lives. Then reopen only +- 3/4 of the reactors and then restart the nuclear construction program, if any, after such warning actions.

  10. re: law enforcement more dangerous on NY Times: 'FBI Foils Its Own Terrorist Plots' · · Score: 1

    more likely to die from unlawful conduct from law enforcement officers than you are of dying from a terrorist act. Yes, so far!

    Doubters? Sounds like someone doesn't read the news. Assassinations, traps and trumped charges happen all too frequently with the asset forfeiture laws over the last 2-3 decades. The "Waco massacre" appears to be an example of unlawful conduct covered up. Even before forfeiture there were simple rage and police malice. One of many old "cowboy" police news stories, kid caught speeding 90 - 100 on an urban interstate in wee hours am, frustrated cop puts his head on the pavement and pulls the trigger...a stink but nothing meaningful. Or corrupt cops in small bergs preying on through traffic, where things sometimes get way out of hand.

  11. untermenschen and Endless Enemies on Stop Being Poor: U.S. Piracy Watch List Hits a New Low With 2012 Report · · Score: 1

    Perhaps more correctly the unconstitutionally hijacked US government is Enemy #1 to the world. Average US "citizens" are more like Hitler's untermenschen... In 1984, Wall Street Journal's international editor, Jonathan Kwitney, documented another "Enemy#1" version effect of US policies in "Endless Enemies, the Making of an Unfriendly World."

  12. reel-to-reel = FU on WW2 Vet Sent 300,000 Pirated DVDs To Troops In Iraq, Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Reel - to - reel is MPAA / Hollywood's little way of saying f- you to the troops. Hollywood is totally perverse in the military way of life.

  13. Saddam, bankers and the Dollar on WW2 Vet Sent 300,000 Pirated DVDs To Troops In Iraq, Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    Saddam was removed because he was playing spite with the US by taking euros, instead of dollars. Oil was simply the (massive) product underneath.

  14. global farting on Massive Methane Release In the Arctic Region · · Score: 1

    Everything, -body farts, including good ole' Mother Earth. pffffft, now another methane hydrate crystal. Sheep, swamps, anaerobic groundwaters, anaerobic seawaters....methane is a child of Nature. Get over it.

  15. asshats vs stupes and crooks on Studies Suggest Massive Increase In Scientific Fraud · · Score: -1

    Don't have to retract. Just issue multiple small changes with more wiggle room. e.g replace global warming with, say, climate change.

  16. a GEMA filter for Google... on YouTube Ordered To Remove Videos, Filter Future Uploads By German Court · · Score: 1

    The GEMA filter would probably be set to timeout the computer if not melt your hard drive.

  17. "revival" on Sony Projects Record Losses of $6.4 Billion · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Sony was once a great company. I am afraid, like most big companies, they are long past their founders' vision and values. Even reviving Akio Morita might not revive the company.

  18. the South's body count shall rise again... on Statistical Analysis Raises Civil War Death Count By 20% · · Score: 1

    The South was thrashed and trashed more severely than the North ever admitted. What's new?
    Remember, the victors write the history books.
    Damn Redleggers (artillerymen).

  19. Less Mickey Mouse, and more cheap industrial labor. Sounds like "all systems go" economically.

  20. one small step.... on Photoacoustic Imaging Uses Sight, Sound For Cancer Detection · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Lots of sizzle. Hopefully it will work well with few artifacts and be available for a low price that enables monthly scans of cancer treatments, perhaps computer generated measures of trackable tumors to show shrinkage and necrotic tissue.

  21. insulting on The Supreme Court To Rule On Monsanto Seed Patents · · Score: 4, Funny

    ....but you Americans really are approaching fascism

    That is insulting. Everyone knows that we achieved fascism under Pres. Bush. We're just not sure which one.

  22. FDA's war on The Politics of the F.D.A. · · Score: 1

    The FDA has been at war with the supplement industry for over 50 years. So we only have second class nutrients in many vitamins and vitamin formulas that suck. The FDA, pharma's industrial whore, has been seething and conspiring to usurp and overthrow the DSHEA since 1994.

    The RDAs are whacked out lies in many cases. This clearly true for vitamin C and D3, probably many more including several "near vitamins".

  23. mirror,... on Murdoch Faces Allegations of Sabotage · · Score: 1

    Mirror, Mirror on the wall
    Who's the biggest crook of all?

  24. CIA/IRS/FSB aid on Microsoft's Lifebrowser Is a Prosthetic For Memory · · Score: 1

    Yes, a great prosthetic for memory. It helps the CIA/NSA/IRS/FSB not forget important details.

  25. simpler and cheaper on Pay the TSA $100 and Bypass Airport Security · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Bypass everything in the US touched by the government. Dump the dollars, don't go to the US. Nothing, as it becomes overrun with orwellian BO (Bushie-Obamite statists etc devolving parallel to the UK example) . Hitler and Mussolini could only dream of the coercive powers being developed in the US.
