    Oooh! You had the Little Mermaid and Robocop 2 on one Beta tape? Wow, can I come hang out with you?

    You think? What do you regard as a real freedom?

    (Will probably get tagged in some surveilance system just for posting this.)

    [I dunno - government guy who tags this post - what kind of an American are you trying to build anyway? Something good, something with freedom? Or just something where everyone falls in line? What's it good for?]

    Hard to follow an example when you cannot follow the example, as it makes no sense. SK?

  5. Please explain on Congress Proposes Data Breach Disclosure Bill · · Score: 1

    I heard someone else talking about the same topic (direct election of senators somehow being a problem) the other day - I'm finding myself ignorant on this topic and not understanding.

    Can someone please explain how taking the vote for senators out of the hands of people and placing it in the state government will help things? My mind is open on this one. Not slamming the idea, just not understanding how it will help anything.

  6. Re:security over privacy on Americans Not Bothered by NSA Spying · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Oh bullshit. Come on. You've got to be kidding.

    I've got a better chance of being hit by lightning that being killed by the (boogeyman) Terrorists. This whole 'terrorists are going to get you' nonsense has gone way too far. Yes, it's a risk, but no reason to go belly up to the threat. Be a man about it. You WILL die someday. It probably (nearly definitely) won't be terrorists. Are you giving up all your privacy and other rights to avoid it?

    Yes, you will die. Think beyond yourself. Your children will live on for a while after you are gone, and your grandchildren after that. Think fourth dimensionally - what kind of a world are you building for them? You want them to be slaves with no freedom of thought, unable to speak their mind because they are being monitored 100% of the day? Just so the fucking boogieman terrorists can't get you?

    Terrorists are a lame red herring. There's always been terrorists, there always will be unhappy people in this world. Take appropriate measures against the risk, but don't become OCD about it and go into a sheep spasm.

    I'm thinking (I), (R), or (D) next to the name indicates who to vote against this year.

    Every Incumbent, every Republican, and every Democrat has failed us. Time to try something new. Just not sure what.

    Played around with being a Libertarian for a while, but that's not really what I want.

    What I'd like to find is a party of the middle class. Which class is that?

    Republicans seem to be the party of the rich, Democrats seem to be the party of the poor.

    Who is looking out for all us middle class citizens? I'll join that party. But I don't know if such a thing exists.

  9. Security Personel suck on The Failure of Information Security · · Score: 1

    Just about every one of them are clueless arrogant blowhards, with no understanding of the world around them. Sitting around staring at BugTraq each day and then going into an apoplectic frenzy when a new issue shows up.

    "Here here here here here!!! There's a new threat! We have to put this untested patch on our servers immediately!!!"

    "Uh, this patch is for Windows. Our servers are running Linux."

    "Linux can run Windows apps through em-em-emulation. We have to patch it!"

    "Yes, that's true, you can install an emulator on Linux and run Windows apps. However, these are production servers and we AREN'T RUNNING any Windows apps."

    Next thing you know, you're spending the rest of the afternoon installing Wine or VMware, just so you can apply the patch. Fucking 'security' guys. All lame ass grabbers. "Oh crap, make sure you hold onto your butthole. Otherwise it's possible you might shit your pants unexpectedly. I saw it on BugTraq."

  10. Age of Aquarius on Warcraft Movie In The Works? · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Is that one of those things like the lame "Age of Aquarius" thing at the end of "The 40 Year Old Virgin"? WTF was that all about? The movie itself was hilarious, then it slams to a stop with a irrelevant ending where the whole cast starts dancing and singing some lame song. Some kind of self-referential movie producer humor that's only funny to other movie producers? Or what the hell was that for anyway? I wasted my time watching the whole thing waiting for some killer punch line to the end of it, but no, the credits roll, the movies over, fuck it, go home.

  11. Oh please no... on Warcraft Movie In The Works? · · Score: -1, Redundant

  17. Re:Galactica 1980 on New Battlestar Galactica Spin-off Series Announced · · Score: 1

    I agree, The Return of Starbuck was pretty much the only good episode in that series, although Space Farmers (Galacticans save migrant workers from oppressive landowners) wasn't too bad (And where I learned what a 'legume' is.).

    There was a script written which would have been the sequel to The Return of Starbuck, called The Wheel of Fire, which sounds like it would have been really cool, but the series was canceled before it was filmed. Tied up a lot of loose ends in the story. (Dr. Zee was Starbuck's son for one weird twist.)

  18. Re:For the love of god... on Throwing Himself On the Innovation Grenade · · Score: 1

    Oh fuckin waahhh. The graphics are bad. Big deal.

    Find something real to focus on. Is the game fun? Is the story good? Is it addictive? That's the real question. Slapping bad graphics on a good game shouldn't be much of a big deal (See Trade Wars, or a text MUD), and slapping good graphics on a bad game won't do much to improve things.

    No, you're not going to see super-uber graphics from most small outfits - doing graphics is a major pain in the ass and tends towards expensive. Spend your resources making a good game, not on graphics. Do the graphics later. Eye candy is for punks.

    Presence of Fluoridation "Coincidental" with Repression and Racial Tyranny

            When you consider that the part of the brain most affected by the fluoride ion is the Hippocampus, and that the Hippocampus is heavily involved in decision-making, motivation and ability to "challenge" threats (or for that matter tyranny), thus inducing compliance with "authority", it is no surprise that in the United States, all military bases and Indian Reservations are heavily fluoridated, and in another fluoridated country, Australia, all aboriginal water supplies are heavily fluoridated, it becomes quite apparent that fluoridation is "coincidentally" used in programs of racial suppression.
