  1. Well it's official... on Stern Will Jump To Sirius In 2006 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    ...I'll be using XM then. Shock jocks like howard give free speech a bad name...

    For all you reactionaries out there, no, i would never suggest strict censorship over stern, nor anyone else. Now getting him cancelled because it's a stupid show, that i'd be behind that all the way.

    Actually i said "search me." Not "Serch me."

    And since i have the ability to keep a virus localized entirely in my brain, or a container of a virus inserted in my brain safely, then i fear not your primitive lobotomy.

    Soooo...hard = impossible?

    I'm just saying its theoretically possible people.

  6. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    You know, i searched my comment over and over again, but i never found any text stating that by not proving he had no weapons that he proved that he had them. Gee, maybe it's because i never said that. I said that it was possible for him to have proven that he had none. So what's it like responding to imaginary posts? Fun?

    Phew! That's a relief!

    So, does God exist? I'm glad I finally found someone who pointed out that the existance of God is binary, and therefore is provable one way or the other!

    Well, don't keep us waiting! Which is it?!


    You know, i was gonna say that what i was saying didn't necessarily apply to everything, but i decided not do. I thought that a reasonable person would understand that my post was not necessarily indicative of my exhaustive inquiry into all instances of the situation, summed up in seventeen words. What an idiot, huh? Oh and what did i say to lead you to believe i automatically knew the answer to every binary question? Jackass.

    You idiot. I can't prove that there is no Loch Ness Monster. I can't prove that Santa Claus doesn't exist. I can't prove that a blue monkey doesn't control your thoughts. I can't prove that aliens DID NOT LAND IN IOWA LAST NIGHT AND MOVE A SLEEPING COW ONE FOOT TO THE LEFT, IN DEFIANCE OF ALL LOGIC!

    You can't prove a negative like that.

    Or, to use your "W00t!" lingo against you: PWN3D!


    Actually, though impossible when it comes to practical uses, i could prove the non existence of those things. Drain the loch. build a worldwide sensor sensor system to detect jolly fat men in red suits. find every blue monkey and kill it. Go back in time with another sensor system to find aliens landing iowa interfering with cows along with a time travel system.

    See, i can counter your retarded anologies with my own!

  8. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 1

    I heard people saying (before the invasion) that if no weapons were found, that would be all the proof we'd need that Saddam was trying to hide them and reason enough to go to war.

    So, because some people might decide to ignore a fact, it's impossible to prove said fact? So we haven't proven that the world isn't flat? Interesting.

    And by that logic, innocent until proven guilty == guilty until proven innocent. I hope you never serve on a jury.

    Oh, we were talking about an American jury trial? Here i thought we were talking about a country proven to have previously owned and used weapons of mass destruction. And who had agreed to prove they had no WMDs as a condition of continued sovereignty (under current leadership). It's really more like having to prove rehabilitation to get parole, then having to prove employment/change in behavior to stay out of jail, or having to wear a GPS ankle bracelet to prove location at all times.

  9. Re:Burden of proof on White House Lied About Iraq Nuclear Programs · · Score: 0

    uh...let them search me and my house for weapons, randomly and without limits?

    W00t! I figured it out! If something is binary, weapons or no weapons, it can be proved one way or the other.

  10. Re:Without the ICC, this won't work on Bruce Sterling says: Marry the UN and the Net · · Score: 4, Funny

    So its Fascist AND socialist?

    Apparently the ICC so evil that one extreme just isn't enough for it, it needs both.

  11. Won't Change on An Analysis of Various Election Methods · · Score: 3, Insightful

    To be honest, i dont think our voting msystem is going to change. Between public apathy and the unwillingness of the establishment to change what benefits them -- not saying they're necessarily evil, but come on, for them it's not broke, so why fix it?-- there's never going to be enough inertia in the movement to move it onto either the systemic or institutional agendas. And frankly, if the 2000 election fiasco wasnt enough to get people to go after their elected representatives, nothing will.

    Or maybe i'm just Apathetic.

  12. Re:Thank you sir, may I have another photo publish on Why You Should Never Lose Your Digital Media · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I can understand being mad, wanting an apology, and wanting the blog aken down, and maybe criminal proceedings if any laws were broken. But why do people think they deserve money for something like this? What have they lost? Mental suffering? Bullshit. People are just greedy bastards.

  13. Not that surprising? on Matching AirPort Express to Third Party Routers · · Score: 2, Interesting

    All the power to making your list of compatible hardware, but is it all that surprising that you Apple product doesn't play well with others? Back home my dad has an old airport, snow or graphite, and while his Mac laptop and now desktop always get a full strength signal, my desktop (across the hall), his tablet PC, and my friends' laptops usually get signals that are slow or drop often. Now, thats not the same thing thats going on in this instance, but i think its indicative of apple wifi in particular, and apple products in general.

  14. Re: Well....From the TFA- on Mushroom Cloud Reported Over North Korea · · Score: 1

    Um...yeah we were. We weren't the ONLY power (like now) but we were a power. Remember WWI, when we were a deciding factor in the Allied victory over the central powers? We were included in the peace talks afterwards, though we weren't necessarily listened to. After that, we still had less overseas involvement than in post WWII, but that doesn't mean we weren't a power.

    You know, maybe we will fuck up HHGTTG, but dont knock mos def as an actor. He's really rather good, i was surprised when i saw Something the Lord Made on HBO with him in a major role. I'm not sure about him as Ford Prefect, but hey, who knows.

    Man, i really hope the thought to test the standing up functionality.

    But seriously, i think i trust Mac to make something thats fairly stable, at least comparable to any LCD monitor. Also, we dont know what the base is made of. I'm thinking it could be weighted for exactly this purpose. Otherwise, make sure to stay out of high wind areas.

    Wow, this is alot more innovative than the desk lamp design. Throw in airport extreme, hi speed rf keyboard/mouse, and this is a pretty sweet comp to just set up in the kitchen or something. Ya know, for rich people. This really seems to be getting back to the spirit of the original design. The desk lamp always looked ugly and fragile to me, and ugly in comparison to the new G5 towers.

  21. Wrong president...? on Jack Valenti: The Exit Interview · · Score: 1

    I was in Dallas in the motorcade on Nov. 22, 1963, and I saw that day a brave young president murdered, and a new president take over. The president is dead, long live the president, the nation goes on. No one is indispensable, I learned that day in Dallas.

    Did this douchebag just compare himself to JFK? Me thinks Jack has a bit of an overinflated ego.

    Thats not true. In india, non violent protestors had a habit of getting shot at by the british. And theres been violence used against the nonviolent a few times in our country.

  25. Re:it's not really cheating on Cheating Made Easy · · Score: 1

    Well sparknotes isn't a paper-for-cash website at all. They have summaries and explanations of books. Once you get into a college or AP class, it won't help you on the paper that much, because for english at least, its all about the methodology. I would used it once or twice because i was too lazy to read an entire book, then dissect a chapter or two for methodology. I'd usually get an A or B, and thats good enough for me. More often however i would use it to brush up on characters and plot for all the books i'd read in a year before the midterm or final exam, since i usually never owned any of the books i had to read for my AP class. I'd say this hasn't harmed me at all, considering that i've gotten a 4/5 on the AP English test, and a 3/5 is good enough for college credit.

    Oh, and yeah, this post was half just for me to mention that i got a 4. What can i say? I'm sort of pissed that i'm going to college, where none of these tests matter, just as i get the grades for it.
