    Yeah and oddly enough California is where oil tankers come drop their shipments and we have oil refineries, except we here on the coast pay more for gas than someone in the middle of Arizona does...

    Umm, no. I paid $400 for one month of electricity in a single bedroom apartment when California was deregulated to "benefit" consumers...

  7. Re:Monopoly? on FCC to Auction Airwaves for Inflight Internet · · Score: 1

    The problem with the FCC is that you have no recourse really if they decide they don't like something that you are doing. i.e., When Howard Stern wanted to fight the indecency charges and fines leveled against him, the FCC held up the licensing paperwork for all the other stations owned by Infinity Broadcasting until the case was decided.

  8. Re:Unparalleled BS from MS. on WMF Vulnerability is an Intentional Backdoor? · · Score: 4, Insightful
    I't a lot like the Allied soldiers who were fighting in Germany, being told all these horror stories about how evil the Nazis actually were, and then coming upon a concentration camp and finding out that these stories were real after all.


    It's nothing like that actually, you are comparing apples to supernovas.

    When did doing something have to be productive or particularly useful if the do'ers found it exciting and fun? I took up watercooling just because it seemed interesting...

  21. Re:a waste on RISK The Game On Google Maps · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What I think would be interesting is if you could take a section of say California and play with the city lines of your county or something to that effect. Or any country in the world for that matter. I think if you could incorporate that it might be more worthwhile.

  22. The Flying Spaghetti Monster Does Exist on Kansas Board of Ed. Adopts Intelligent Design · · Score: 5, Funny

    The flying spaghetti monster does exist. In reality it is a proven fact that after visiting an Italian restaurant and consuming spaghetti, beer, port, anisette, beer and at times tequila the legendary flying spaghetti monster will appear. However its most natural habitat seems to be (oddly enough) the same as the porcelain god's. Its other possible habitats include concrete, tarmac, carpeting and cars. In either case, the flying spaghetti monster usually will return to it's ancestral homelands within 24 hours through a "water disposal system".
