    The FED is a private bank, owned by 12 banks, (mostly european)

    It about time they audit the fed.

    2012 is the feds 99th birthday, which i think their lease expire.

  2. Re:Shiny overrode Technical on Rumor — AT&T Losing iPhone Exclusivity Next Week · · Score: 1

    is it so hard to buy a 2nd cheap phone on a different network?

    Just get a $30-$50 phone thats meant for teenagers, im sure that will work. And if your real cheap, get it on pre-paid, or $10/mo plans.

    Salts are crystals, not grains dude.

    What idiot coined that phrase?

    freedom of speech dude, as in 1991, we can do what the F we like.

    Off topic is THE topic.!

  5. Re:Marketshare gains misleading... on Bing To Become Default iPhone Search? · · Score: 1

    im all over white backgrounds, its too corporate, black backgrounds are more hip oldschool style. and easier on the eyes at night time.

    Common google, do a time based CSS for us geeks.

    tar up 4 avis, and 4 .mp3 files, and 12 .sub files, and include a .info file. .avi.tar

    its just a software problem really.

  7. Re:Talking about apples and oranges. on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    Dont drop old stuff, thats a MS taktic , Linux still supports .txt files right and thats old hat.
    Linux still supports GIF and 100 other old picture formats.

    We cannot update those cheap chineese dvd players or portable viewers etc... dropping support is stupid as stupid does forrest.

    I considered moving to mp4/mkv, but decided not to yet, too many old devices wont accept it.

  8. Re:foot.shoot(); on HandBrake Abandons DivX As an Output Format · · Score: 1

    but every $30 dvd player out there supports avi, not mk4/mp4.

    Not every person can afford to upgrade every 2 years.

    Forcing new formats by default and NO CHOICE is a microsoft thing, besides ffmpeg supports it, so HB should too.

    Give us choice, not forced crap. By all means default it to mp4, but dont remove avi.

    IDIOTS.

  9. can people declare if they own shares on Apple Seeks To Ban Nokia Imports To US · · Score: 1

    Every single pro or anti post needs a declration stating if they own either apple or nokia shares.

    Otherwise youre statements of "Apple is god, they are inocent" are defensive and self interest based.

    I own neither.

  10. Russia can steal it hahaa on ESA Wants ISS Extended To 2020 · · Score: 1

    If nasa leaves it, the second its empty, russia will launch a fleet of ships to dock and steal it, then usa cannot even do anything about it.

    If they deorbit the ISS, then its a subtle sign that usa it self has the same firey fate of de unification.

    You gota admit though, any $300 PC running linux can outdo a $3000 cisco router.

  12. Re:Code in high-level on Cliff Click's Crash Course In Modern Hardware · · Score: 2, Informative

    intel compilers have options to optimize to more than one target, and its runtime engine uses code that was made for X cpu. Sure your binary is larger, but everyone is happy.

  14. Re:Scientific method on Slovak Police Planted Explosives On Air Travelers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Unless they catch a real bomber, then all tests are useless, since they dont know how one really behaves.

    Using the public is evil regardless. If they dont know they have the explosives, then their behaviour will be unchanged, so its a useless blind test.

  15. Re:Why not? on Thorium, the Next Nuclear Fuel? · · Score: 1

    Excuse me, a lot of scientists dont believe in the humans causing global warming con either.
    And a lot of the scientists on the UN panels are mostly beurocrats and not real climatologists.

    There is lots of U, its just that its inside seawater and harder relatively to process than rocky ores.

    If humans need to live, they will dig anywhere to find whatever they need , ignoring all greenies/laws, paper law books dont stop bullets.

  16. Re:Type of laptop in picture on TSA Withdraws Subpoenas Against Bloggers · · Score: 1

    just ship a linux laptop that boots with a video of the Chuck sequence when hes looking at terrorst data, and shows pics and images of boms , and nukes.

    Then put a fake movie style login screen with giant green cursor and noises for each key press, with a countdown to self destruct in 10mins.

    The TSA would freak out and really believe it to be real.

  17. Re:Sell your Nokia shares. on Nokia Claims Patent Violations in Most Apple Products · · Score: 1

    Nokia arent that good, they have made really stupid UI mistakes. Like not showing the time of rec sms in the sms list view (S40).

    Also their S40 media player sucked, couldnt FF/RW videos. Idiots.

    Im also sick of their 30 rechargers schema.

    its ironic these pricks of govt people love it when they see Iranians or Iraqis protesting their own govt or saddam , they love to see NK denouncing Kim Jong.

    But the second the same thing happens in western countries, oh no, we have to ban it, its evil.

    Get the F out of here you stupid politico fascists , we can shit on your face all day, we have that right. The fact the politicos get their own better retirement and health benefits proves they are above the human slaves.

    I like the fact that if you calculate it, you could strap on 20 of these on a space shuttle, and give it enough thrust to take off, until the o2 runs out at least. Any one thought of making a 20 engine launcher that detaches at 40k ft?
