  1. Re:so what? on Homeland Security Stole Michael Arrington's Boat · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All people have a right to their life, liberty, and property. If a government is corrupt, and thus gives preference to the wealthy, that doesn't mean we should abandon the idea of human rights and become basement Marxists like you.

  2. Re:Would you like some cheese with that? on Homeland Security Stole Michael Arrington's Boat · · Score: 3, Funny

    There are other options I'd like to bring along.

    - Licensed armed bodyguard, or state police officer if you have "connections"
    - TV crew
    - Retired Army sniper with a touch of PTSD
    - an Italian-American mother who don't take no crap

    I didn't know there was a minimum income requirement for writing a blog. But thanks for your contribution to class warfare.

  4. Re:The USPS is intellectually bankrupt on USPS To Launch Line of Smart Clothing · · Score: 1

    What kind of moron mods me down and leaves the incorrect post I responded to unmodded? Again, passed unanimously in the Senate and cosponsored by two left-wing Dems.

  5. Re:Scaling is the Key! on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    What part of "contained within the chamber" doesn't sound like "sequestered" to you?

  6. Re:Scaling is the Key! on New Process Takes Energy From Coal Without Burning It · · Score: 1

    Where do you put it? It's carbon, dude. Organic. It's not toxic waste. Bury it. If you're worried about that, just dig a hole and lie in it because you can't perform any work without producing some "waste".

    Just like the way it subsidizes solar and wind installations, and sends billions to failing solar technology companies.

  8. Re:Umm, yeah on Mosquitoes Beginning To Ignore DEET Repellent · · Score: 1

    This is a good point. Humans' sense of smell has "fatigue", which is why you eventually stop noticing a smell in a room, and why you notice your house smells like the cat until you go away for a few days. If mosquitoes have suddenly evolved this, that's news. But the phenomenon isn't.

  9. Re:Red states, Blue states on Researchers Analyze Twitter To Find Happiest Parts of the United States · · Score: 1

    You think that each district in PA has exactly the same number of people in it?

  10. Re:First purchase on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    It's a shame that semi-auto weapons don't have a bolt you can pull back to release a bad round. Anyway, I'm not going in with two shots, because a lethal hit is not guaranteed with a shotgun, especially one with two barrels because it's harder to aim.

  11. Re:Really? "Sheep by law"??? on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 1

    So the new British motto is, "Beaten and robbed daily-- it feels great to be alive!"

  12. Re:Really? "Sheep by law"??? on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 1

    The point is that they are not forming gangs and attacking each other because they have guns; they are doing it because of a unique lack of mentorship, opportunity, and discipline.

  13. Re:Really? "Sheep by law"??? on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 1

    We just proved that, in fact, there is more crime in the UK-- just fewer homicides. Do keep up.

  14. Re:Spring is in the Air on CT State Senator Wants To Ban Kids From Using Arcade Guns · · Score: 1

    We are dealing with people who think kids should be exposed to sex little by little, as early as possible, so that they don't make stupid mistakes when they get older-- but yet they want firearms to be some mysterious magical wands that only the anointed police officer or soldier may have.

    Was that was Brokeback Mountain was about? Never saw it. Looks like a manly western!

  16. Re:I'll get right on that on Got a Cell Phone Booster? FCC Says You Have To Turn It Off · · Score: 1

    I think they sued Howard Stern millions without even saying "fuck".

  17. Re:buy a security system + cameras on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    That escalated quickly.

  18. Re:First purchase on Ask Slashdot: Starting From Scratch After a Burglary? · · Score: 1

    The government thinks we need gun-free zones to keep us safe, so why not put a sign out saying "Gun Free Zone"? That should do it.

    Weapons misfire.

    The Senate passed it unanimously and it was cosponsored by two left-wing Democrats.

  22. Re:Hmmm ... on USPS To Launch Line of Smart Clothing · · Score: 1

    Yeah, it was cosponsored by those crazy right-winger Republicans, Henry Waxman and Danny Davis. It passed unanimously in the Senate and we don't know who voted for it in the House because they used a voice vote.

    I'm super-disappointed that someone with a three-digit UID didn't respond to you.

  24. Re:Really! on Google Patents Staple of '70s Mainframe Computing · · Score: 1

    I disagree. Just as half the patents trolls now take something in common use and append "on the internet" to it, this is taking something ancient and appending "on a distributed file system" to it.

    It's pretty bad when you have to tell a Google engineer to "Google it".
