  1. Re:National Security or Political Security? on House Republicans Renew Push for Telecom Immunity · · Score: 2, Informative

    42k is chump change for an election warchest. 650+k on the other hand, is a nice chunk of cash...

    Of course if you want to throw out Hoekstra youre going to have to do what he did to get elected: win the primary, which is where most money is spent in MI2.

    Michigan's 2nd Congressional District includes a large amount of Conservative Christians (Calvinists), and Hoekstra's conservative base in Ottawa county is quite safe for him. It is the reddest county in the nation.

    Congratulations on your use of an ad hominem, sheldon.

  4. So? on Pentagon Manipulating TV Analysts · · Score: 2, Insightful

    So the military is trying to counter the traditional anti-war bias found in the mainstream media? How is that suprising. The media has been shaping hearts and minds here in the United States for decades. It is not unfair for the military to want a piece of the action.

  5. Re:While we're at it.. on Laser Pointers Classed as Weapons in Australia · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Oh please, big government, save us from ourselves by outlawing more things! We don't need to be personally accountable for our own actions!

  7. throw the bastards out on End of the Internet's Tax-Free Ride? · · Score: 1

    The last thing we need is the internet to be screwed up the butt by greedy politicians. Throw the bastards out in november.

    I am cornholio. I need tp for my bunghole!

    Are you threatening me?

  9. Re:For those of you who don't like stop & go t on Asetek LCLC Takes Liquid Cooling Mainstream · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Too bad they didnt compare it to a good air cooling solution like the thermalright ifx-14 or ultra-120.

  10. Re:Good that the guy was caught... on Internet Community Catches a Car Thief · · Score: 1

    Under the common law it was legal to perform a citizen's arrest on someone committing a felony.

    Unfortunately I do not know how much of the common law remains intact in Canada.

    Yes I know the beyond.ca guys didn't arrest the guy, but merely identified him. I'm just saying...

  11. Paypal blows on eBay Australia Makes PayPal Mandatory · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This entire Australia thread is [citation needed].

  15. All bureaucracies... on FBI Reports All-Time High In Internet Fraud Losses · · Score: 1

    ...report what will keep them growing on the backs of the tax payer. If federal-jurisdiction crime goes down, do you think the FBI will let us know? No. If gun crime goes down with the BATFE let us know? Of course not. All regulatory agencies have a vested interest in more stringent regulations, because it will mean more unwitting violations and more dollars for their coffers.

  16. Re:Secrecy is fine when it protects individual rig on Swiss Bank Secrecy Under Renewed Attack · · Score: 1

    There you go, attempting to apply natural law to everything.

    Just because something is unethical or immoral or makes your stomach churn doesn't mean it is illegal where and when it is happening.

  17. Re:modem port? on A Fond Look at Some Obsolete Ports · · Score: 1

    Strangly enough I still use a ps2 mouse(via an adapter) and a ps2 keyboard.

    What seems strange is that serial ports weren't included.

  18. Re:And you are surprised because ... ? on US Ignores Unwelcome WTO IP Rulings · · Score: 1

    Not when those laws would fun afoul of the Constitution (as amended, and however the courts are interpeting it this week).

  19. Re:This is not a cause for alarm or a rights issue on Nuclear Scanning Catches a Radioactive Cat On I-5 · · Score: 1

    radiation monitors should have to be used like thermal imagers. You would need probable cause or a warrant.

  20. Re:I declare a fatwah! on Network Solutions Suspends Site of Anti-Islam Film · · Score: 1

    If a NetSol data center burned to the ground I would not be very upset.

  23. Isaiah on Intel Ramps Up 45nm Chip Production, Announces 'Atom' Line · · Score: 3, Funny

    By the looks of things Isaiah will wipe the floor with Atom if intel doesnt bury Via with branding power. Isaiah's out of order execution will offer much better performance than Atom's in-order execution.
