If somebody applied a boot to Glenn's ass they'd probably have to answer to Aldrin's fist.
His encounter with a moon landing denialist is an interesting video to see even if Aldrin isn't proud of it.
Thing is, Aldrin was an active astronaut during Gemini and Apollo. Glenn resigned before Gemini to go into politics. I can overlook a lotta stuff, but becoming a politician?
Glenn was 77 when he went up in the Shuttle. If somebody would have applied the appropriate boot to his ass, HE would have taken the record for oldest astronaut taking a spacewalk as well as longest spacewalk ever...
the NSA staff 'take protecting your civil liberties and privacy as the most important thing that they do, and securing this nation.'
Is anyone else having difficulty parsing this sentence?
Is anyone else having difficulty believing them when they tell me my liberties and privacy is their most important task? Or is it violating said liberties and privacy that's their Job One? There's a reason why one of the 4 great lies of history is "Hi. I'm from the Government and I'm here to help!"
Maybe so, but it's obvious that its primary mission will be military in nature. Sure, retasking military resources for civilian use can be a Good Thing, but using one of these without retrofitting or demilitarising it? Not a Good Thing, IMNSFBHO.
How in the hell is my neighbor's drone legal? Under 600 feet he's tresspassing and invading my privacy. Over 600 feet he's subject to FAA regs, and they don't license them anymore for private citizens, haven't since '04.
Oooo! Oooo! Me... I'll shoot a lobbyist! We should declare a season... find someone who'll stuff and mount them for our living rooms!!! Why yes, I bagged this fine specimen wandering the hall right around Speaker Boehner's office. He tried to scrabble down a stairway and boom! Funny thing is he's lobbying for the NRA!
I see two problems with this.
Finding a taxidermist willing to deal with hazerdous materials. Lobbyists are full of bullshit. Inflicting that on a poor taxidermist could be considered cruel and unusual.
Once you clean all the bullshit out of a lobbyist, the available material to work with is measured in milligrams. Be a damned small trophy to mount...
Well, it's expanding copyright by default and allowing private corporations to infringe on a person's rights, and making the government enforce it at tax payer expense.
Welcome to the USSA, where you get all the justice you can afford.
Is there potential legal repercussion for reading these documents? I remember the Wikileaks files were off limits because they were still classified, and anyone reading them would be potentially in breach of their clearance.
Would the person who released these be held responsible for any judicial action? Or just the person who obtained them?
I'm thinking it'd be just like calling $SERVING_FED_POLITICIAN an idiot. You'd get busted for revealing state secrets.
Of course they will, except for a couple weeks every 20 years when you get the opportunity to buy the game again for a limited time before it's vaulted again to keep Disneycorp profits up.
What, you don't know how to rip a DVD down to an AVI???
The ONLY DVDs that give me shit to rip are those 8 gig ones. I know there's a trick to it, I just haven't figured it out. In the meantime, I can run it through a DVD player set to output on Chan 3 and pipe it to a capture card and save it off there.
OK, 'The Wire' was a co-production of HBO and a private company, Blown Deadline Productions, who may or may not be wholely owned by HBO. HBO seems to have reserved the DVD rights and the merchandising rights, and they sold the hell out of it overseas as well. HBO sure as hell wouldn't have kept it going for 5 seasons if it wasn't profitable, their shareholders would lynch the board of directors. I doubt any of the actors made a dime out of the foreign sales or the merchandising due to Hollywood accounting.
Keep in mind that according to Hollywood accounting, nobody has made a profit in Hollywood for over a century.
I'm thinking standard rezz pirate video would help sell the HD rezz. I TIVO a lot of tv shows then move them to my computer, then buy the DVD set to rip down when they come out to get rid of the 'bug' in the lower right hand corner.
Germany was scientifically advanced, but the Nazis weren't. The Nazis believed in pseudoscience. The same is true of the Soviets (look at their agricultural theories for one example).
Lysenko for another. Individuals don't go threough Lamarkian or Lysenkian evolution, they pick up where their parents left off. CULTURES go through Lamarkian evolution.
Wrong question. "Where can I get fuck magnets???" is the correct one. I'm assuming you wanna get laid like the rest of us?
Not if I'm a long-standing fuck magnet connoisseur striking up conversation with another. I'm more than happy with my Penetron 3000, but I know those in the industry prefer the Klunge-O-Matic.
I guess we really need to keep FinCrime busy now that all those bankers and investment brokers are in jail. Oh, wait...
But foolishly, folks, this looks like a way to puff up the arrest numbers and make for some easy convictions to justify their shrunken budget (FinCrime got seriously defunded the instant they started looking at the big banks and investment houses) to Congress. The prevailing metric of any police force is their arrest record and conviction rates. Go after small fish you can steamroller cause the whales fight back.
Disagree. Freedom includes the right to make an asshole out of yourself. Preventing somebody from doing that not only violates their rights to life liberty and the pursuit of happiness (note the right is for the pursuit, not the attainment!). Hey, if making themselves an asshole makes them happy, who am I to complain? I only worry when the assholes demand that everybody else in government must be investigated on suspicion of being liberal, impeached, and replaced with yet more assholes.
No, your followers, if any, will be relegated to 'free speech zones' and never heard from again. If you're not one of the Big Two, you won't be invited to any presidential debates no matter how many followers you have (They learned that one with Perot).

Beats the hell out of waiting for a youtube video to load. Besides, the patent ran out on gifs. We can use them without being sued.
At least, until DisneyCorp buys the IP behind GIFs, and by extension, animated GIFs...
You forgot the awards for Best Tits in a Dramatic Work, Best Tits in a Comedy, Best Tits in a Documentary...
If a Creative Director, a corporate officer of a subsidary isn't considered to be a spokesmutant for said subsidary, who the fuck is?????
"State-run media"? More like "Media-run state" from where I sit...

What, no Ass Master 10K???
My kingdom for mod points!!!
And I'm still trying to figure out how the fuck magnets work!
Where did you get your fuck magnets from? I had no idea it was so high-tech!
