    Good luck prying our tax dollars from the hands of the military-industrial-spy complex.

  5. What do you expect? on Use Tor, Get Targeted By the NSA · · Score: 1

    If you keep the curtains in your windows closed you are obviously doing something criminally wrong and should be prosocuted to the fullest extent of the law!

  7. Re:Hire professional people, get professional resu on Why Your Sysadmin Hates You · · Score: 1

    I am told by a doctor friend that the police almost never give tickets to doctors because they don't want blowback from a doctor if they are ever on the operating table.
    Sounds smart to me.

    Is it tasty?

  10. Re:Video articles on How Ubiquitous Autonomous Cars Could Affect Society (Video) · · Score: 1

    Another thing I like about reading is the ability to easily go back and review something just read when you didn't quite get the gist, as opposed to trying to re-position a video to repeat something.

  11. Re:The B-Ark? on UnGrounded: British Airways Attempts to Bottle Some Startup Spirit · · Score: 4, Insightful

    These aren't the best and the brightest, these are the CEO's and funders of the best and the brightest, so considerably less loss than you imagine.

    New York is actually raising, it is rebounding from the weight, since removed, of glacial overburden.

  15. Re:The Free Staters chose my town as the test bed on The Free State Project, One Decade Later · · Score: 1

    And the left hasn't done the same sorts of things in other places, notably in California?

    Could you be specific? The left hasn't needed to stack the vote in California because they compose about 70% of the population.
    Notice that there are no Republicans in state office. This is because all of California is 'stacked' left, figure it out.

  16. Re:The right and wrong way to go about these thing on USA Calling For the Extradition of Snowden · · Score: 1

  19. The Hand on Quadcopter Guided By Thought — Accurately · · Score: 1

    Personally I think the hand is still the best tool we have to do physical manipulation. That is what it was designed for and it is excellent. Since we don't use our 'minds' to move objects normally, I think the hand, or a hand-guided tool, will always be the best.

  20. This could get interesting: on White House Announces Reforms Targeting Patent Trolls · · Score: 0

    Can't Obama just drone-assassinate patent trolls?

  21. A simple question I have wanted to ask: on A Serious Proposal To Fix Windows 8 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    how is it 10,000 Microsoft engineers and managers couldn't pour piss out of a boot if instructions were on the heal?

    What charges? In fact there are no charges.

  23. Re:obama appointees.... on Google Maps Used To Find Tax Cheats · · Score: 1

    I read that and am impressed by how many people are included even though the authors can only say "did they drop out because of back taxes?", i.e., lots of accusations and inuendo without facts.
