  1. Re:Everyone is so negative on Better Nuclear Waste Storage Plans than Yucca Mountain · · Score: 4, Funny

    I've got nothing against breeder reactors, at least if they've been properly married. It's those homosexual reactors wanting to marry that worry me. They threaten the stability of the nuclear family, our Christian values, and our Merican way of life.

  2. Re:No, ignoring it won't make it go away on Better Nuclear Waste Storage Plans than Yucca Mountain · · Score: 1

    It's great that they're suggesting a decent Plan B if Yucca fails, but to state that failure of Plan A is the best outcome because some hypothetical future invention will make it obsolete is not very scientific.

    Well, if we are to believe the article, Yucca Mountain is already a failure, pending some scientific breakthrough. And the article also points out that research on alternative solutions is not being done, because all the emphasis is being placed on Yucca Mountain.

    This article does not even substantiate the speculation with specific current developments in an avenue of research or two. It just makes the assumption someone will come up with something new, soon, that may have something to do with the problem.

    Did you read all 5 pages of the article? Specific technologies were mentioned. It was also noted that money is not going into further research on the viability of these technologies while all our hopes are pinned on Yucca Mountain.

    That's big talk, AC, but are you willing to bet mod points on it, like the other guy? That's the real test of how serious you are around here.

  4. Re:Forget the stupid cards, give me service! on Supermarket Loyalty Cards Vs National ID Cards · · Score: 1

    Prices at TJs are low for the quality that you get, thus I consider them high value. And some of their prices really are lower than ordinary supermarket prices. One example is butter. Butter is twice as much at the ordinary supermarkets in my area.

    So I'd just say that Trader Joe's rocks if you enjoy high quality food on a budget, depending on your budget of course. If you're looking for 10 packs of Ramen for $1, then TJs might be a little out of your reach. =)

    Sorry to spoil your fun, but the link that you provided states that this is an urban legend. Anyway, it was funny, so thanks.

    I'm not saying the US is promising a Utopia, but in 5 years I'd bet mod points that Iraq is going to be much better off than before all this began.

    You must have really strong convictions to lay it all on the line like that. I'm sure you're aware that in some countries, the people can only dream about someday having mod points. And in other countries, the mod points bet you.

  7. Re:yes evidence! on Should We Follow Novell v. MS in Detail? · · Score: 2, Informative

    Because if evidence is accepted as fact in one case, it becomes a matter of record. This potentially makes discovery easier in related future cases, as well. If the evidence is sealed, an attorney in the hypothetical future case can petition for it to be unsealed.

    Yeah, we all make typos from time to time, but a misspelling when the correct spelling is right in front of your nose. . . . were you raised by tree sloths?

  12. Re:Icons on Art Tips For Programmers? · · Score: 1

    I have a few suggestions for you.

    First, you say that you're creating a freeware app. Consider making it donationware. I'll tell you why in a moment.

    Second, if you want to find OSS/freeware friendly artists and designers, try looking on the forums for users of OSS/freeware graphic design apps. These are people that are using free tools, so you'd think that some of them will be sympathetic. Maybe have a contest, so you can more easily choose what you think is the best icon for your project. Or let the users of version 1.0 decide, after you've narrowed the field.

    At any rate, offer whatever you can afford to pay up front, but promise to pay more on spec. This money will come out of the donations, if any. Example: pay the artist $50 or $100 cash up front for the icon, then pay an additional $300 as it comes in from the donations. Pay the artist first before you pay yourself.

    Hey, thanks for those links. Bill O'Reilly did a simply amazing job of demolishing his straw man effigy of John Kerry. I didn't realize you were so well informed by such an outstanding source of information, and that you've had a firm grasp of the realities of Bush's Iraq plan.

    One final question for you: Do you think that O'Reilly puts his thumb up George Bush's asshole while he's blowing him? I don't think George is the type to go for that sort of stuff, since it might be construed as "gay" and could hurt his image, but behind closed doors, you never know.

    or one thing, under current law the farmer whose field is contaminated by patented seed seems to have an alternative to just re-using the contaminated seed (which many farmers don't want anyhow). That alternative is to sue those responsible for the contamination.

    If this is true, it leads us to an interesting question. Does Monsato offer indemnification to farmers that use their products? Laura Dildio, are you listening?

    I voted for Bush because at least he has a plan. It might not be the best plan and I may not agree with all of it, but it's better than electing snipe.

    Uh huh. And can you tell us what Bush's plan is? I mean, beyond the platitudes of "beating the freedom-hating terrorists and brining peace and freedom to the Iraqi people". Chances are you have no idea what Bush's plan is, so you based your vote on a fantasy of some plan.

    If you want some insight into Bush's plan, I suggest you read this.
