  1. Re:Double Standard on Prosecution of Swartz Typical for the "Sick Culture" Pervading the DOJ · · Score: 1

    It may, but you have the right to counsel. So the court will pay for it, when dealing with criminal charges? Unless you have the money to pay for it. And if the charges are that outlandish, it is easy to get them thrown out.

  2. Double Standard on Prosecution of Swartz Typical for the "Sick Culture" Pervading the DOJ · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    We have such a double standard in this country. We scream when a person who is charged with a crime, makes a choice and takes their life because they where charged with a crime, that we are to tough. The next day we scream when another person charged with the same or a different crime gets off or only gets a light sentence. It is all subjective to the individual. What do you find important, right or wrong. I have no problem with them stacking charges, as long as they can show cause. The court system is already backed up, could you imagine if every charge when to trial. Nothing would ever get done, and most important people would complain (louder then ever before) about being called for jury duty all the time. You can't blame others, for the choice of an individual to take their life. If you do, where does the blame end? It wouldn't...

  3. Glad to be an American. on Standard Kilogram Gains Weight · · Score: 5, Funny

    That why I'm glad to live in America, where we still use the good old pound. Now all I have to do it sit back and watch your metric world unravel.

  4. Thank-you Dear Leader on North Korea Launches Long-Range Rocket · · Score: 1

    When you are willing to let your people starve and work them as slave labor, then kill them, sanctions doesn't really matter. What is the saying, I don't care about money, give me minions. This will continue until China steps in or the country revolts, which due to the level of imprisonment, propaganda, force, and international apathy is unlikely. Think about it. Who will be responsible to clean up the mess if the country falls? China? The US? Its easier to just let them be.

  5. Re:Your driving I'm watching. on Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank · · Score: 2, Informative

    So I did some more looking and it really is a death trap. The wheels are still exposed, and the steel is at most 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick, which would easy be penetrated by an AK-47 or an Nato 556 round. It is really just a death trap.

  6. Your driving I'm watching. on Playstation Controller Runs Syrian Rebel Tank · · Score: 4, Insightful

    WOW, this is not a tank, its a death trap. An old diesel car with light steel construction? I wouldn't drive this to my local geto grocery store much less a war zone with real tanks and explosives. Nice try, but fail...

  7. Hmmmm? on The Earliest Known Dino? · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    How can this be when the world is only 6000 years old? Hahahahahah I make myself laugh. No this is cool, lets clone it and get our dino bbq on.

  8. Does Yahoo even still exist? on Yahoo "Loses" $2.7B In Mysterious Mexican Yellow Pages Lawsuit · · Score: -1

    Is yahoo still relevant? I though yahoo had just become a none MS face for bing.When will people learn and just use Google.

    Why do you need more training when you have planes that almost fly themselves? http://www.airliners.net/aviation-forums/tech_ops/read.main/81570/

    But what will keep me warm on those long lonely nights while I watching inappropriate things on my phone?

  12. NAND Gate on From a NAND Gate To Tetris · · Score: 4, Funny

    I watched this video and it really does seem like it would be a fun course! I'm not really sure about the whole God giving man NAND. Though that is prolly why my belief in God is 11. Hah, what a crappy NAND joke.

    Um, something about Jesus, Jews and a cross, keeps coming to mind.

  14. Will they even post it afer its law? on Australian Government Censors Draft Snooping Laws · · Score: 1

    I wonder if they will even post it after its law. I would think that would make it very convenient for the state. State: Sir your under arrest for violation of a law you've never heard of or seen. Guy: Um, ok. Can I see the law now? State: No. Guy: How am I going to have a trail? State: Heh, No, no, you still don't understand, go directly to jail, do not pass go, and pay us $200 along your way. This seems like a very slippy slope.

    Anything would be better then getting karate chopped in the crotch by the poorly trained TSA guy, every time I fly and refuse the body scanner.

  17. To many new versions on Maybe With Help From Google and Adobe, Microsoft Can Kill Windows XP · · Score: 1

    I think a problem windows is having is they have to many versions. No one in the business word wants to upgrade to Vista and then to windows 7 and then in a year need to upgrade everything to windows 8 and in another year to windows 9 and so on, possibly loosing compatibility along the way and certainly making more work for themselves having to answer user questions on how to do things on the new system. They really need a slow moving Cooperate Windows they can put out and say, this is the next 10 year upgrade. A Home Windows that can change more rapidly and a mobile Windows that no one will still care about.

  20. See communism works after all on Chinese Man Builds His Own Prosthetic Hands · · Score: 4, Funny

    See communism works after all. You start with a need, put in a little hard work and entrepreneurialism and poof, new arms. Of wait that's capitalism. Disregard.

  21. Just stop and think about it. on The Nuclear Approach To Climate Change · · Score: 3, Insightful

    If you took all the effort and energy spent, developing green energies, clean coal, fracking. Couple that with all the energy spent fighting each of them for what ever reason. Just think how safe and efficient 2020 nuclear power plants could be. A new nuclear plant hasn't been built in the US since what the 80's. Thats 30 YEARS. Just think of the improvements and innovations we could make or had made had we pursued it. If you really think that global warming is the end of days, then how can you not embrace nuclear? Its like vegetarians who believe in evolution. It just doesn't make since.

    Am I the only one that wonders why no one is screaming antitrust? I guess Apple feels safe having the USPO fight their battles. I can see this ending badly for Apple down the road if they keep it up.
