  1. Re:3... 2... 1... on A Savant Explains His Abilities · · Score: 4, Funny

    I speak Twi'lek. I learned it playing "Knights of the Old Republic". It's easy, there's only three or four spoken phrases, each of which means everything you can conceive of!

    And, when their money runs out, it would be IMPOSSIBLE to send them back to 1 G, so you can just shove 'em out the airlock.

    I'm a libertarian too, but this was just too funny to pass up.

    I thought it was well established that at the center of the galaxy there is a planet, that God is on that planet, and that (as it is becoming abundantly clear), he needs a fucking starship!

  8. Version 2.0 on Large-Format Printable Wardriving Maps of Seattle · · Score: 1

    Nice job!

    Small problem. My buddy in Seattle just shut off his WiFi router. Now the map is out of date.

    For the next version, why not release this with a program that wardrivers can use to automatically detect and upload changes to the server? The open source/wiki development model seems to be even better suited to this than to, say, an OS or encyclopedia.

    It is called "contended tranlation" at best.

    Yeah, that's pretty much the gist of what I said.

    Yeah, sorry to suggest, that the leaders in the USSR could be anything else than murdurous warmongers.

    Your translation is the most sympathetic to Khruschev, while the translation "We will bury you" is the least sympathetic to Khruschev. But then again, if you weren't trolling, you would have gotten that point the first time I made it.

  13. Re:This whole "There is no crisis" on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    Before Social Security, old people froze and starved in the streets. After Social Security, the elderly can at least buy a cup of soup occassionally.

    That's what I call a stunning improvement. From freezing and starving in the streets to freezing and starving in the streets with an occasional cup of soup. Excellent.

    and if you get rid of it by privatizing, you must be willing to say it's OK for those people to just starve, freeze, and die

    Are you saying it's impossible for someone to, in good faith, disagree with you? Anyone who disagrees with you wants people to starve and die? Sounds like a good way to keep yourself from ever having to seriously confront views other than your own.

    So don't drive on their roads,

    They make me pay for it, I might as well get my money's worth.

    I don't. At least not federal loans.

    land got flooded out.. oops... no money for flood control

    I don't live on a flood plain. If I did I'd be more than willing to pay for flood control. They don't have to extort it from me.

    Society needs to be contributed to if it's going to work at all.

    That's what you say. What you really mean is, "Society needs to be contributed to under threat of physical force because, unless someone's getting a gun pointed at them, they're too stupid to take care of their own interests.

  17. Re:Accuracy on U.S. Kids Don't Understand First Amendment · · Score: 1

    No, that's a wrong translation and shows undue sympathy to the USSR.

    The translation is generally contested. From what I've read, Khruschev meant "We will attend your funeral" but said "We will bury you." But Khruschev wasn't the only politician with a tendency to misspeak.

  18. Re:China & Encryption on U.S. Army Guide to Code Breaking · · Score: 1

    Nice troll. It has more to do with the fact that one expect the government that's supposed to protect him to be able to keep secrets from the rest of the world. Any other government has the same prerogative, and the people those governments are intended to protect may have the same objections to their governments' secrets being publicly available.

  23. Re:Back to the Future on Episode III Opening Crawl Released · · Score: 1

    Episode II didn't even make much sense. Dooku's role is just bizarre, and even the first time I saw it was scratching my head as to why he's revealing to Obiwan that there's a Sith Lord controlling much of the Senate, when he's in fact the bloody f*cking apprentice to said Sith Lord.

    The villain explaining the entire evil plot to a captured hero is a movie cliche far older than even Star Wars itself.
