  1. torture device? on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 1

    Nah, they stick your head in a microwave.
    If you don't get the message you get a lobotomy next. /Wish I was kidding. //Cops and their gangs have done this since 1985

  2. Re:unintended consequences... on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 1

    It would be funny if China banned it as torture....

  3. Re:Suit up guys! on Millimeter-Wave Weapon Certified For Use In Iraq · · Score: 0, Troll

    "I hope that doesn't mean that they'd fall back to using a machinegun on demonstrators!"

    These days they cap 92 (or 88) year old Grannies, what makes you think they would even use this device; they would go straight to the VX gas on political dissidents ....

  4. EO1 set off the volcano, on Intelligent Satellite Notices Volcanic Activity · · Score: 1

    Sarah Conner is history.

  5. Iraq on Iraq Study Group Reaches Concensus · · Score: 1

    The longer we stay in Iraq; the less secure America will be.

  6. Newt's rights on Newt Gingrich Says Free Speech May Be Forfeit · · Score: 1

    "Newt Gingrich issued his opinion that the idea of free speech in the U.S. needs to be re-examined"

    I believe he has the right to say that, and that the right to free speech should not be removed from anyone, even Neocons.

  7. Dear SCO: on IBM Denies Destroying Evidence in SCO Case · · Score: 1

    As the judge said:

    "Specify the SCO owned code in Linux by file name and line number."

    No?

    SCO has now delayed past the end of discovery, no further weasel words can be accepted.
    If there is any code in Linux, owned by SCO, they did not show; it is SCO's fault for not providing it to the court.
    They cannot blame IBM for there own failure to provide evidence as ordered (twice) by the federal judge.

  8. Of course it's safe; on Drugs Eradicate the Need For Sleep · · Score: 1

    President Bush has used this for years .....

    but wait....

  9. I would like to hear from IBM: on Microsoft Taking Heat For Patent Stance · · Score: 1

    Can you imagine the monkey dance in Redmond, if IBM responded:
    "Vista is guilty of violating IBM's IP"

    What is good for the goose...

  10. Who will reply? on Physicist Trying To Send a Signal Back In Time · · Score: 1

  11. RAID anyone? on Are New DRM Technologies Setting Vista Up For Failure? · · Score: 1

    MS seems to want RAID table meta data and DRM seem to want to exist in the same location.
    I will not name the hardware maker, but we have had to move the meta data last year to "prepare for Vista."
    Now MS has changed the location again, as in DRM just killed your RAID array.
    We should have ignored MS and left the meta-data in the old location...

  12. Multi use appliances on Intel Takes Quad Core To the Desktop · · Score: 1

    The Intel computer/rangetop will fry hamburgers faster than the AMD version, with no loss of computing power

  14. Novell is in Violation of the GPL already on Microsoft/Novell Deal Could Create Two-Tier Linux Market · · Score: 1

    Break out pop-corn now:
    Novell cannot add restrictions to the GPL, anymore than SCO could.
    Linux will literally "Live Free or Die"; Novell (or Microsoft) cannot add a Troll tax.
    Killing Linux will only kill whatever code is found to violate "whatever";
    The "whatever" will be re-written very fast, to not violate the whatever.

    PS: Beware the Bane of the Gates

    For those that are GPL challenged:

        4. You may not copy, modify, sublicense, or distribute the Program
    except as expressly provided under this License. Any attempt
    otherwise to copy, modify, sublicense or distribute the Program is
    void, and will automatically terminate your rights under this License.
    However, parties who have received copies, or rights, from you under
    this License will not have their licenses terminated so long as such
    parties remain in full compliance.

        5. You are not required to accept this License, since you have not
    signed it. However, nothing else grants you permission to modify or
    distribute the Program or its derivative works. These actions are
    prohibited by law if you do not accept this License. Therefore, by
    modifying or distributing the Program (or any work based on the
    Program), you indicate your acceptance of this License to do so, and
    all its terms and conditions for copying, distributing or modifying
    the Program or works based on it.

        6. Each time you redistribute the Program (or any work based on the
    Program), the recipient automatically receives a license from the
    original licensor to copy, distribute or modify the Program subject to
    these terms and conditions. You may not impose any further
    restrictions on the recipients' exercise of the rights granted herein.
    You are not responsible for enforcing compliance by third parties to
    this License.

        7. If, as a consequence of a court judgment or allegation of patent
    infringement or for any other reason (not limited to patent issues),
    conditions are imposed on you (whether by court order, agreement or
    otherwise) that contradict the conditions of this License, they do not
    excuse you from the conditions of this License. If you cannot
    distribute so as to satisfy simultaneously your obligations under this
    License and any other pertinent obligations, then as a consequence you
    may not distribute the Program at all. For example, if a patent
    license would not permit royalty-free redistribution of the Program by
    all those who receive copies directly or indirectly through you, then
    the only way you could satisfy both it and this License would be to
    refrain entirely from distribution of the Program.

    They will just use this system to evacuate the election results.

    We have a stack of printed ballots in each scanner

    If the Ballot is wrong; discard the wrong one before scanning; reprint

  17. I have shipmates who disagree on Pentagon Reveals News Correction Unit · · Score: 1

    Lost limbs, no support from the reserves, their credit cards are maxed out paying for medical travel and injury related issues.
    We take up donations at the reserve center to assist them to travel to Maryland for treatment.
    Reserves still do not have funding for small arms training states side; no one gets to "fling lead" unless you are already in Iraq.
    From Iraq; no body armor, no armored vehicles (they use pickup trucks to "blend in")

    PS: A Navy Reservist is listed as "not reserve" due to being "mobilized" to full time Navy; this was Rumsfield's idea to reduce the number of reservists in Iraq.
