  1. Re:"could not recall" on FBI Releases Hillary Clinton Email Report (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Haven't heard Trump actually claim to have *forgotten* anything. His Modus Operandi is usually to claim that he CHOOSES to be an asshole who won't pay anybody what he owes them (due to something about not being satisfied with the work output while sending undocumented workers into homelessness when the subcontractor goes bankrupt).

  2. Re:Could not recall briefings because of concusion on FBI Releases Hillary Clinton Email Report (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Or somebody dies, mysteriously. I still wonder about JFK Jr's plane going down within two months of her grabbing the New York Senate Seat.

    In that she mimics another very old person who was President for 8 years- Ronald Reagan. Of course, it turned out a couple of years later, he had a pretty good excuse.

    "Ark in Kentucky, which many have noticed is landlocked"

    Currently landlocked. Have you seen the latest AGW scare maps?

    "It's a bit much to believe she has the worst memory ever, but only when it comes to things which are potentially damaging to her criminally and politically."

    Actually, Narcissistic Personality Disorder combined with trauma-induced schizophrenia would produce *exactly* this effect.

  6. Technology solves everything. Teach your children to think outside the box- and not only will they build a safer world for their kids and grandkids, they'll also make a ton of money off of fearful people in full panic trying to survive.

    Myself, I'm thinking that if we start to see sea rise in feet rather than inches, it's time to invest in houseboats.

  7. I'm more of a doubter than a denier- but this could explain men's fashion choices over the last three centuries, which has often baffled me (in that I see all of them as dressing far too warmly for normal room temperatures).

  8. Re:Louisiana is historically swamp. on Bill Nye Explains That the Flooding In Louisiana Is the Result of Climate Change (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    Exactly my thought. If I was building in Louisiana after 2005, my house would be a houseboat, on dry land, with pylons, and the back of the garage would have a boat in it.

  9. No, this is Bill Nye the Climate Change Guy, where what you had for breakfast is due to CLIMATE CHANGE

  10. Re:Offer a cloud virtual machine of the user's cho on Comcast Says There's 6 Million Unhappy DSL Users Left To Target (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    The people still on DSL are not Joe Sixpack. They prefer a slower line in exchange for the one thing that faster broadband can't give you- a static IP and the right to run a server.

    Give them an option that enables them to run their own server, and you'll capture that market.

  11. Offer a cloud virtual machine of the user's choice on Comcast Says There's 6 Million Unhappy DSL Users Left To Target (dslreports.com) · · Score: 1

    Offer a cloud server of the user's choice of operating system with every signup, and you'll have DSL customers beating down your doorstep.

    Well, if you're going to live in a city where it costs you $95k/year in just rent or mortgage, you're going to need $135k/year.

    Script kiddie development. The type people like me have to scrap and redo with 2 years.

    And who is that then? I have 20 years in the industry. I make a lot of money, but I have only once broken 100k

    Remo Williams plot was more on the mark- it was even about HAARP! And Satelites! And fake vaporware to get tax dollars (the bad guys even blew up the evidence, so that they could claim Remo did it and never have to prove that it didn't work!)

  17. Re:Venus should be habitable higher up on Venus May Have Been Habitable, Says NASA (sciencedaily.com) · · Score: 1

    Would be an interesting theory to try to reverse. A rail gun orbiting Saturn, with appropriate ballistics calculations, could shoot ice at it. Be massively expensive, but it would be one hell of a neat terraforming operation.

  18. This just makes me want to invent AirGapBluetooth on Cory Doctorow On What iPhone's Missing Headphone Jack Means For Music Industry (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 2

    In which a a stereo bluetooth speaker is paired with a pair of bluetooth microphones, encased in a soundproof case. To make DRM music non-DRM, simply play it to the bluetooth speaker and record to MP3 from the bluetooth microphones.

    What asshole decided to hide the fact that the location isn't in the database?

  20. Charles Babbage then? His looms were reprogrammable, even if he used punch cards for memory. Those three were hardly the first.

    There's an easy option for this called "System Restore". Works for both Chrome and Edge.

  22. No modern child is interested in that.

  23. The difference between science and religion at school level isn't that one tells you truths - they both lie, but science tells lies to help you on a path towards truth while religion tells lies to prepare you for bigger lies.

    Now I know why not Blaise Pascal. You are attempting to build a worldview based on an extremely narrow interpretation of fact- and 18 years from now you're going to be a grandfather because of it. Religion too, has truth, but you're going to learn that far too late for your little girl.

  24. Why not Pascal? Or aren't his mechanical Pascalines enough like a computer for you?
