  1. Re:More allergenic? on Scientists Advocate Replacing Cattle With Insects · · Score: 1

    Once one realizes that true democracy is just once step away from anarchy, the implications become clear.

  2. "A history of defending Internet freedom" on Anonymous Organizes Global Protests For WikiLeaks · · Score: 0

    Anonymous has a history of defending Internet freedom

    Really? Which basic human right is it that allows one to disrupt the commerce of innocent people?

  3. I have a better idea on Should Dolphins Be Treated As Non-Human Persons? · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Why don't we just leave them to their business, and keep to our own? Otherwise, we'll have community organizers signing up dolphins to vote in elections and lobbying for tax dollars to fund flipper-accessible housing.

  4. Re:Grow Ops in Marin? on California County Bans SmartMeter Installations · · Score: 1

    Because progress for the sake of progress is great, right? See: prohibition, eugenics, and segregation.

  5. You forgot rims. on In-Car Technology Becoming More Important Than Horsepower · · Score: 1

    Big, fat, 25" rims... as in, "yo, we herd u like rimz, so we put rimz inside your rimz" rims.

  6. Re:Hackers' Dream Come True on Honeywell To Sell Miami-Dade Police a Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    I'm sure the password will be 12345. These are police.

  7. Re:Just what the corrupt MIA police dept needs on Honeywell To Sell Miami-Dade Police a Surveillance Drone · · Score: 1

    Or they could make sure that the New Black Panthers aren't mouthing off at people in front of polling places! Or, they could just use cops for that.

  8. Re:Grow Ops in Marin? on California County Bans SmartMeter Installations · · Score: 1

    Grow ops use a ton... really. I don't know why they don't just install off-the-grid solar panels or light tubes to run them.

    It's not as if the managers were being just as stupid approving all those benefits based on highly overfly rosy outlooks of their future prospects.

    It's called a "strike". And if that's not enough for you, I have two more words: "baseball bat".

    That's why the pensions were approved.

    It's funny when progressives fight among themselves. Keep it up, guys. We'll all be much better off.

    But I can see that the phone supports text messages right from the page you linked to... ?

    I think we can safely take this a step further and call that deathtrap a Darwinmobile!

  13. Re:Nor surprising ... on New Cars Vulnerable To Wireless Theft · · Score: 1

    FWIW, that's obviously not a proximity wireless key but the standard active one that doesn't transmit until you press a button. This article is about the proximity keys that transmit constantly.

  15. Re:I have a much more ambitious vision on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    There is a reason the Canadians came down and burned the whitehouse to the ground.

    The reason the BRITISH burned the White House (not to the ground; it is masonry) and the unfinished Capitol was in retaliation for burning government buildings in York (Toronto).

    How we did worse things to the indian population than Hitler did and in fact he learned them from us.

    Well, even in the 1980s we learned about the atrocities. But Hitler didn't learn anything from them. However, his propaganda minister Goebbels learned a lot about the trade from Wilson. The Nazi regime also learned about our internment camps and imprisonment of people who protested the war or the Wilson administration.

  17. Re:We'll Have to Agree to Disagree on The Continued Censorship of Huckleberry Finn · · Score: 1

    Those cretins can censor Mark Twain all they want. I'll just start my own pirate radio station and play "Strange Fruit" every day.

    A big one from the left is claiming that high taxes are moral*, as if government redistribution of wealth was charity or something. Doing something because you're compelled isn't charity by definition.

    * Actually paying your taxes is, of course, Christian as in the exact example given by Jesus. Some of our representatives and Secretary Geithner seem to have a problem with this part.

    That's why I applaud this rare gem from the summary:

    An Alabama publisher named NewSouth Books will be editing and censoring the book so that schools and parents might provide their children the ability to study the classic without fear of properly addressing the torturous history of racism and slavery in The United States of America.

    You're probably trolling, but in case you're not I'd like to point out that ARM clocks up to 2.5 GHz (and Netburst taught us that mere clock speed is not the future) and is multicore.

  23. Re:Interesting... on First Pictures of Chinese Stealth Fighter · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Well, the F-117 is really a bomber, not a fighter. It carries no cannon and its standard loads don't include AA missiles. It's also retired from the US military. The F-35 is in flight testing, so it probably should be considered although it's not in service yet.

    I'm not getting how you can trip a breaker by pressing it. They're in by default; you can only push them when they're tripped. Did you mean the power switch?
