  1. Re:HST says... on Donald Trump Wins US Presidency (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'll be happy if he:
    1. Nominates a special prosecutor to look into the Clinton Foundation
    2. Nominates actual conservatives to the Supreme Court
    3. Puts 10,000 troops spread across a 2000 mile border until Mexico decides to build a wall.

    They've got MS-13; all they have to do is remind their dealer that the supply chain will be cut off when Trump builds the wall.

    Because if we don't protect American Jobs, American workers who have lost their job will break into your apartment and steal your stuff.

  4. Thank you for that mental picture of Donald Trump as the Professor from Futurama (or Grandpa Simpson)

  5. "Drivers are independent contractors"

    Except in England, where it was recently declared that they were all employees.

  6. Are they aware that Portland OR only has ballot drop offs, not polling places?

  7. Sounds like you're denying the science of fetalology altogether, and going back to sacred texts that existed before the existence of ultrasound. Not very evidence based.

    Freedom abused should always be denied. We now have clear evidence of pain back to the 8th week of gestation- far before the "viable" point of 21 weeks- and clear evidence that the mother and child should be considered equals from the moment of conception. Any other point of view denies the last 30 years of research into what goes on in a human womb, and therefore should be discarded.

  8. Re:Don't worry guys... on IT Workers Facing Layoffs Jolted By CEO's Message (computerworld.com) · · Score: 1

    Pretty easy to fix. On the way out the door, steal a thumb drive full of customer data, and sell to the highest bidder. If enough "retirees" did that, the CEOs would never be able to do this again.

  9. Re:Obviously, a failed time travel mission on Secret Service, DHS Scramble To Secure America's Election (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    Next time count secret service agents to determine amount of ammo to bring....

  10. That would be because Human beings are not rational.

    Oh, and I'd point out that the science of fetalogy, does not rely on sacred texts, unless you consider an ultrasound picture a sacred text, in which case you've got a bigger problem with your cargo cult than whether or not to let abortion be practiced.

  11. Trump lost the vetran vote rather early with his crack about a second-rate real estate mogul knowing more about Syria than the generals.

  12. Re:Will Starship Troopers Follow Heinlein's Book? on Will The New 'Starship Troopers' Reboot Stay Faithful To The Book? (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 1

    Better than leaving it to the type of people who think that Trump and Clinton are saviors.

  13. Re:Right. on Will The New 'Starship Troopers' Reboot Stay Faithful To The Book? (hollywoodreporter.com) · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Given this recent election season, I think an unabashed film about a society where the vote is restricted to veterans only makes a heck of a lot of sense. Certainly better than the idiots who have voted for Republicans or Democrats.

    It's still a correlation. There is no direct connection between skin color and criminality.

  15. The Catholic Church has a similar problem. Apparently, Catholic Youth Organization sports promoters think that a better use of time on a Sunday morning is a sporting event instead of Mass.

    Give the 25% per year increase in my cost of healthcare for the last 3 years, yes, I'd like to see Obamacare gone. Affordable my ass.

  17. Re:Apple is primarily a jewlery company on Design For the Present (marco.org) · · Score: 1

    NeXT and Pixar are marketing companies, not hardware companies or even really software companies.

    All the power of a NeXT cube was already available in the Linux world.

  18. Re:Don't they already have those? on UK Government Wants Prisons Geoblocked By Drone Manufacturers (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    That was my first thought too. Pretty easy for hackers to replace the firmware in a drone. Pretty hard to defend against the far cheaper 12 gauge rock salt load which is non lethal (but very painful) and which will easily penetrate a drone's thin plastic skin.

    Better yet, iron filings load for drones- short'em out.

  19. Either that or "It is clear from your salary profile that we can no longer afford your services"

  20. You can't tell by his tagline? Obviously Organized Crime Systems.

  21. Apple is primarily a jewlery company on Design For the Present (marco.org) · · Score: -1, Troll

    They haven't been a technology company since Woz left. Jobs and now Tim Cook are just "queer eye for the queer guy" marketers with no unique features in their devices whatsoever.

    I'm of the conception that politicians are idiots, and don't know how to read two different e-mail systems on the same device.

    Pretty damn easy to get a sd card that can record 24-48 hours of low quality footage these days.

    Under a situation where you are required to wear a camera, why would anybody choose one that doesn't have local storage?

    It is still an irrational data point. Correlation is not causation.

  25. He said internet, but aside from that- since when does entertainment have no intrinsic value? Although a point can be made post-Seinfeld.....
