    Democracy didn't fail. You're just bitter because the majority doesn't believe what you wanted.

    You aren't seriously advocating rallying a bunch of antigun nuts, vegetarians, and peace protestors against the hunters and war mongering hicks are you?

    GET OVER IT.

    Face it. You all were fed a line... You had a choice of horseshit candidate #1 and horseshit candidate #2, and most of the people voted for horseshit candidate #1. Stop voting for what you think is the lesser of to piles of horseshit. Things are never going to get better while we still buy this ridiculous line of reasoning. Bottom line, more than %98 percent of the people who voted still voted for a pile of horseshit!!!

    Half the country thinks their vote was for nothing and they lost. A lot of people who voted for the winner are sitting around thinking... "Whew... close call, pile of hs #1 might not be the best president, but at least we didn't get pile #2!!!"

    Stop voting for piles of horseshit!!!! It doesn't matter which one you get, it's still horseshit!

    Damn I'm glad I voted libertarian.

    You've got to be kidding me? I dought there are more than 100 full time internet cafes in the entire US.

  10. Re:You have been dupped! on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    Put down the crack pipe Beavis.

    After the first couple of minutes of existence the only type of matter left in the universe was normal matter. New antimatter isn't going to just appear out of no where, it has to be made in a particle accelerator.

    Star Trek didn't invent the concept of antimatter. Star Trek was created in 1966, the existence of antimatter was known back in the 1930's. Trek's writers used it as a fantastic plot device to create an awesome sense of power of a star ship.

    It's been created many times in many laboratories.
    That doesn't mean it's practical. There is a difference between creating 20 antiprotons in a lab, and creating a grams worth of them.

    But I'm sure I'm wasting my time, you're probably still having problems explaining how NASA faked the moon landing.

  11. Re:ecplises nukes? on Air Force Researching Antimatter Weapons · · Score: 1

    1. A nuclear bomb only converts a small fragment of the material in it's core to energy before the core blows apart and the reaction stops.

    2. With antimatter you can dial the resulting explosion up or down in size as much as you want just by changing the amount of antimatter payload up or down. It's infinately varible. Nuclear weapons have a minimum critical size which they will not function bellow. Perfect for when you want that 5K ton explosion, not a 50K ton explosion.

  13. Re:End of limited liability? on Libertarian Presidential Candidate Michael Badnarik Answers · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Your fears only make sense in an envirornment where the billion dollar lawsuit against the company exits. Under a Libertarian leadership thing such as that wont exist. It's like when car companies got sued because some of thier SUV's had higher center's of gravity and people with no common sense and bad driving skills went out and treated them like they were a sport car. You can't play Indy 500 in a high center vechicle like that... They flip over. The problem is that they didn't blame the drivers pushing the vechicles beyond common sense and thier designs, they blamed the auto makers. Uner a libitarian style system you blame the person who's at fault, not the entity with the deepest pockets.

  16. Ozone generator on Cleansing Hardware Of Dead Pig Odors? · · Score: 2, Informative

    You can rent an Ozone generator which is comonly used for removing smoke orders from hotel rooms.

    Ozone destroys biological materials, and is used for sterilizing water and other materials.

    Because this is all computer hardware you could probably seal the room, crank the ozone generator up to max and give it a good week long exposure. That ought to put a significant dent in the smell problem.

    NOTE: We aren't talking about those cheap air ionizers here, those wont touch this problem. A professional ozone generator can be rented from a industrial equipment rental shop, and the ozone output will be high enough to be dangerous! Don't go into the room until after the ozone has cleared.

    http://www.daemonology.net/bsdiff/

    bsdiff and bspatch are tools for building and applying patches to binary files. By using suffix sorting (specifically, Larsson and Sadakane's qsufsort) and taking advantage of how executable files change, bsdiff routinely produces binary patches 50-80% smaller than those produced by Xdelta, and 15% smaller than those produced by .RTPatch (a $2750/seat commercial patch tool).
