  1. Re:Gardens like winter. on Warmest 12-Month Period Recorded In US · · Score: 1

    So, in maybe a hundred years where I live will be in Zone 8 instead of Zone 7. Tell me the downside of being able to grow two crops a year of many vegetables. Hey, make it Zone 9 and I'll even try to grow my own bananas!

    If I live that long. :(

    The only plants in my garden that really need cold winters are the Spring-flowering bulbs. Veggies, not so much.

  2. More "training" won't cut it on TSA's mm-Wave Body Scanner Breaks Diabetic Teen's $10K Insulin Pump · · Score: 1

    They need their stupid asses fired, the sooner the better. In fact fire the whole Department of Homeland Security.

    Let the airlines provide security. It's in their financial interest to keep their customers safe and flying. All DHS worries about is their next budget request.

    Freedom means taking some risks. Absolute safety is not compatible with freedom whatsoever.

  3. Re:Toddler Groping is Better than Rand Paul on Rand Paul Has a Quick Fix For TSA: Pull the Plug · · Score: 3, Insightful

    My current best guess for who "they" may be is the U.S. government themselves. Our government has gone rogue. I wouldn't put it past them to run a false-flag operation to gain even more power over us and take away the rest of our freedoms.

    I don't trust either party. No matter who you vote for this November, the government wins.

    The so-called war on terror is an excuse. Any damned fool could tell you that if somebody is threatening us with "terror", the only way to win is to NOT be afraid. Ignore them. Take the hit. Then strike back harder AFTER you find out EXACTLY who did it.

  4. Re:When I make Taco breathe hard... on Last Bastion For Climate Dissenters Crumbling · · Score: 1

    I haven't seen any of them carrying a 4' x 8' sheet of plywood.

  5. Re:Well that's okay on WW2 Vet Sent 300,000 Pirated DVDs To Troops In Iraq, Afghanistan · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Is it OK to kill children?

    We've killed millions of our own UNBORN babies in this country. Are you okay with that? If you are, then you have no right to complain about anyone killing babies anywhere at any time.

  6. Re:It has to be a typo. on Good News For US Fusion Research · · Score: 1

    That's about right. Obummer won't be satisfied until this country is totally dependent on outside sources of energy. His administration is actively shutting down oil refineries. We'll have to do as Iran is doing now - importing gasoline. How does $9/gallon gasoline sound to you?

  7. Re:Sad Little People on House Passes CISPA · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Bullets in the heads of corrupt politicians solve even more problems.

  8. Re:Just one problem... on MIT Researchers Invent 'Super Glass' · · Score: 1

    You don't have cancer . . . . . . yet.

    Wait for it.

  9. Re:Home of the free and the land of the brave? on CISPA Bill Obliterates Privacy Laws With Blank Check of Privacy Invasion · · Score: 4, Informative

    Don't worry. They've already found an $INTERNAL_ENEMY - patriot groups, militia groups, returning vets, in short almost anybody who disagrees with the government.

  10. Just a wild idea on U.S. Suspends JEEP Aid · · Score: 1

    Why don't we use that money to teach some of our own citizens to speak English? I don't mean the foreigners who come here. I mean the ones born and raised here that you'd need a freaking interpreter to understand.

  11. Re:Vegan mums today. on Eating Meat Helped Early Humans Reproduce · · Score: 2

    Those "registered dieticians" are inside their own event horizon.

  12. Re:BS on Is Middle Age Evolution's Crowning Achievement? · · Score: 2

    Bah! I'm 59 and STILL not over the hill. Now get back to work so you can pay into Social Security! I want some money to be there when I start collecting it. :p

  13. Re:LaTeX on 12 Ways LibreOffice Writer Tops MS Word · · Score: 1

    BS! A pen or pencil and a piece of paper are all you ever need.

  14. Re:More Patents on Using Non-Newtonian Fluids To Fill Potholes · · Score: 1

    What are the bags made of and how long will they last with traffic constantly running over them? How long can the material maintain its waterproof characteristics?

    If it works, I'd love to have a pair of boots made from that miracle material.

  15. Re:FROSTY PISS!! on MIT Institute's Gloomy Prediction: 'Global Economic Collapse' By 2030 · · Score: 2

    Methinks MIT is being overly optimistic. We're very near the brink right now. All it will take is some small incident and we're over the edge in a heartbeat.

  16. Re:Global Warming! on Self-Sustaining Solar Reactor Creates Clean Hydrogen · · Score: 1

    What do you get? Please explain . . . .

  17. Re:Error My Ass on NBC Apologizes For Editing Zimmerman 911 Call · · Score: 2

    Aha! I suspected all this time that he was really Black Irish!!

  18. Re:I just wish... on Boston Pays Out $170,000 To Man Arrested For Recording Police · · Score: 1

    He should have sued each individual officer involved for violation of his Constitutional rights. That would get their attention.

  19. Hey, scienceblog! on MIT Solar Towers Beat Solar Panels By Up To 20x · · Score: 1

    Put some white space to the left of the text on your page. It's a real pain to read words that are jammed right against the edge of a monitor.

    Then let's test it on lawyers! They're almost human,

  21. Re:This Is A Good Idea on NHTSA Suggestion Would Cripple In-Car GPS Displays · · Score: 1

    Yes, I DO need a GPS for driving every day. I work in five states, and dozens of cities and towns each year. I know where I'm working tomorrow, but the next week? Next month? I've spent nearly 36 years going places I've never been to before. GPS is a godsend; I wish it had been around years ago!

  22. Simple answer on Facebook Asserts Trademark On "Book" In New User Agreement · · Score: 1

    Somebody needs to take Zuckerberg behind the barn and beat some sense into him. Or beat the crap out of him, whichever comes first.

    Oh, and keep it private. You know how the little shit loves *his* privacy.

  23. Re:This sounds a bit like Sundog on Notch Wants To Make a Firefly-Inspired Sandbox Space Game · · Score: 1

    Me too! It was one of the most realistic space games I ever played. You had to keep up with everything - money, trade goods, ship parts, food, etc..

  24. Govt backing wrong horse? on Is It Time For the US Government To Back Fusion At NIF Over ITER? · · Score: 1

    Well, like that's never happened before!

    Hint: The government usually backs the wrong horse. It's the nature of government.

  25. Re: who will pay? on Canadian Police Recommend Online Spying Tax For Internet Bills · · Score: 1

    I'm sure this is a popular sentiment, but it simply isn't true for most products and services. Try learning economics from someplace *other* than your fellow Randroids before spouting off next time.

    Okay, then who pays? Be detailed and specific.
