  1. A Taste of Armageddon on Robot Soldiers Are Already Being Deployed · · Score: 1

    A Taste of Armageddon

  2. Proposal? on Google Tricycles To Map Footpaths For Street View · · Score: 1

    Do you have any concrete proposal, or are you just whining?

    Any "cure" to this would be far worse than the disease, I guarantee.

  3. Re:Automakers on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    It just makes sense to stop WASTING everything we can, just because we can.)

    What you really mean is, you want to use a gun to force everybody else to stop wasting, by your definition of waste.

    You've always been perfectly free to not waste.

  4. Re:Insightful? Mods on crack? on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    Your continued capitalization of the word "Science" exposes you as the cultist. You regard "Science" as your god.

    The new definition of "emissions" includes carbon dioxide. Indoctrination complete.

  6. Re:Paging James Madison... on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1

    Do you know what words mean? "Fix the standard of weights and measures" means everybody agreeing on how much is a pound, how much is a foot, etc. Nothing to do with requiring MPG in a car.

  7. Re:States rights on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Are you talking about the southern states where there was slavery, or the northern states where it was simply illegal to be black? Or the politicians who wanted to preserve the new territories for whites-only?

  8. Re:Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    There's nothing to do with interoperability here.

    And the goal here isn't to improve quality, it's to lower it. People don't want these cars. They only way they can get away with making them is if they're the only cars people can buy.

  9. Re:States rights on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Because the states created the federal government to handle particular tasks.

    The goal of our federalist system is not efficiency, it is freedom. A country where the government's primary goal is to ensure the efficiency of its subjects is certainly NOT one where I'd like to live.

  10. Collusion on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 5, Funny

    That's called "collusion", when the government isn't involved.

  11. Automakers on US To Require That New Cars Get 42 MPG By 2016 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Of course automakers are "on board"! They're now pawns of the government, just like the banks. Do you think they could really go against anything the administration wants?

    Basically now Obama can do whatever he wants. He's playing all the hands himself.

  12. They don't on Hosting a Highly Inflammatory Document? · · Score: 1

    There's no such word as "flammable"; it was made up out of ignorance of the word "inflammable", mostly for safety reasons so that stupid people wouldn't get confused and light everybody on fire.

  13. Re:Coreboot can't run both at the same time on Phoenix BIOSOS? · · Score: 1

    It could, if you coreboot into a Linux installation that has a VM hypervisor installed. Which is what this is.

  14. Re:For newbies? on Linux.com Relaunched Under New Management · · Score: 1

    If we're talking about the kernel, kernel.org.

    If we're talking about a full system, debian.org.

    Done!

  15. Re:What "Cash"? on Microsoft Raises $3.8B in Bond Sale · · Score: 1

    Sure companies sit on cash. It may not be bills in a mattress; it's in a savings account or something. These are called "cash accounts" because they are not investments.

    Can we get the comment count for each story back on the front page, please?

  17. Falcon NW on Alienware Refusing Customers As Thieves · · Score: 1

    I clicked on your link, and all that's there is a link to "Get Flash". No sale.

  18. Movies really lost something on For Super-Tough Spider Silk, Just Add Titanium · · Score: 1

    The movies really lost something when they changed the web goop from something Parker creates into something he excretes. eww.

  19. Re:It's the organization, stupid on Employee (Almost) Chronicles Sun's Top Ten Failures · · Score: 1

    Have you read Confederates in the Boardroom? It's about how decentralizing can make things more efficient.

  20. Spider-Man 3 on Klingons Cut From Final Star Trek XI Movie · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Everybody complained that Spider-Man 3 tried to cram too many different characters and plots together. Chill out! This is but the first in a new series of films. There will be plenty of time for Klingons.

    It's not about the software. It's about the documents.

  24. Re:Sickening on Time Warner Cable Won't Compete, Seeks Legislation · · Score: 1

    The solution is that government shouldn't have the power to grant their every whim. Then R&D becomes more profitable than lobbying, because lobbying nets them $0.

  25. Exactly! on Time Warner Cable Won't Compete, Seeks Legislation · · Score: 1

    The solution to "campaign finance" isn't to muffle speech; it's to reduce the power of government so that it really doesn't make all that much difference who's elected.
