  1. Re:The definition of terrorism on New Congressional Bill Makes DMCA Look Tame · · Score: 1

    Terrorism = Islamic Facist as far as I'm concerned. It's the same shit, different day. Don't insult me your petty semantics.

    Dude, this guy specializes in networking, NOT power and water engineering. So regardless of whether or not these people lack security, hospitals, power, and water...he can't do squat about it. He CAN however apply his skill set to getting a network up and running.

    Don't be a fucking idiot! Start doing some research on the current state of Islam and you might learn a few things or two. Start off with this link for starters....you lazy bum.

    The *real* definition of terrorism is Islamic fascism. Of course, speaking this truth would be politically incorrect. As such, the term "terrorism" has been molded and melded into various issues by the politicos in office in order to maintain power.

    Don't worry; it will get worse...much worse after Iran detonates an atomic bomb over Israel.

  5. Re:A sexual revolution. Part 2 on Social Networking From Your Cell · · Score: 1

    Well, I do find the idea of promiscuality to be most unsettling. Not only do I find it immoral, but the advent of rapid AIDS exposure will literally cripple (if not devastate) entire developed nations around the world. Now don't get me wrong. I fully support individual freedom, but I also must stress the possible ramifications that come with it.

    For all you heartless bastards out there, I have good news. Evolutions will wipe out the thoughtless and careless (stupid) among our population.

  6. A sexual revolution. Part 2 on Social Networking From Your Cell · · Score: 2, Funny

    Sort of, you're closer than you think however. The *Real* next boom in cell phone services is sexual profiling. Follow me for a moment...

    Imagine having everything on your cell phone. Hell, even your genetic profile. On this cell phone, you would have your stated likes and dislikes much like a match.com or eharmony profile. Also, you would have your sexual profile available too. From here, you could walk down the street into a mall or bar. Within movements, your cell phone would vibrate the closer you got to a potential prospect. If you're lucky, you would be fucking your brains out in the next 10 minutes...

    Welcome to the new western sexual revolution. It's coming. Are you ready? Is society ready???

  9. These are not environmentalists on Tilting At Windmills · · Score: 2, Insightful

    These are anti-capitolists!! They HATE the human race. In fact, they would rather wish all human beings die. They see us as a virus, and not a natural part of Earths evolution.

    Fuck em!!! Time they are made irrelevant by the worlds population. Just fucking burry them.

  10. Enviro-wackos change its tune. on Wildlife Defies Chernobyl Radiation · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Gather around. Come one, come all. Time for the great DigiShaman to make a prediction... Ahem

    Let see now. According to the extreme environmentalists, it's human activities that are causing the greatest harm to the planet. We also know that while radiation is bad for humans, it's not bad for natural life. Ergo, radioactive material is *good* for the planet.

    Soon, I expect environmentalists (the extreme wacko kind, not all mind you) to endorse nuclear technology. Not just any technology, but the kind designed with shoddy engineering. You see, they need a "Trojan Horse" inside human civilization to lower our population count. Nuclear disasters are the way to accomplish this goal.

    I also think it generates less drag, but I don't remember why.

    Because the dimples create turbulence and thus a smaller low pressure wake on the backside of the ball as it's flying through the air. At least, that's how I understand it. You can read more about it here. http://www.aerospaceweb.org/question/aerodynamics/ q0215.shtml/

    I love to watch golf on TV. Something about the greens, sounds of nature, sounds of club/putter hitting the ball, and occasional golf clapping. It's so therapeutically soothing to the ear that it puts me to sleep.

    Call me utopist if you want, but finding something that "increase our safety, or decrease power of madmen and dictators" gets the #1 naive award (always thinking big shields and weapons, what a world).

    Uhh no! You sir, are the naive one. Case in point, we all know that countries like Cuba, Iraq (pre Saddam) and N. Korea get massive amounts of scientific funding... Seriously, untill such madmen and dictators are removed from the world (which will never happen), scientific research always takes a back seat in funding behind military. Unless however, such military funding is used FOR scientific defense research. Trust me, you would not be chatting over the Internet were it not for WW2 and the cold war. Sad, but true.

    Speaking of SCCA. If you buy a new sports car and want low insurance, it should be REQUIRED to take it out on the track for certification. There is no pass or fail. The idea is to allow drivers to know the limitations of their car. Once you know the "breaking point" of what your car can and cannot do, they should feel much more informed on the public roadways and hopefully much safer.

    When you do a 360 around a corner, maybe then you'll learn to not be such a jackass at an intersection and endanger the public.

    Trouble with personal checks are that even if they clear, they can still put a "stop payment" on it at any moment. With a cashier's check (not one from a bank), it's as good as cash.

    FYI, you get deminishing returns the more you try and reduce your emissions. It's exponential. So rather then spend X amount dollars to clean up 1% of our polution, the same amount of X dollars could be better spent to clean up their polution far more than just one percent. Trouble is, you can't just give the governmen the money. You have to do the work for them to ensure it's being spent in all the right places needed according to engineering.

    ...unless the spectators are in on the fun.

    Video/PC games, like Chess isn't very fun when watching players sit in one place. Unless the sport is athletic, don't expect much of a public following.
