  1. Do not..... on Child Porn As a Weapon · · Score: 1, Insightful

    "Look, the people you are after are the people you depend on. We cook your meals, we haul your trash, we connect your calls, we drive your ambulances. We guard you while you sleep. Do not... fuck with us. "

  2. As usual on To Ballmer, Grabbing iPad's Market Is 'Job One Urgency' · · Score: 0, Redundant

    "Don't worry, we will copy Apple like we always have."

  3. iPhone on When Will the Automotive Internet Arrive? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Or just the small bit of programming that lets my iPhone know when it is in my car?
    Then it can give me all that data and I don't have to buy the expensive, soon obsolete hardware in the car.

  4. oddball on Rent an iPad For Inflight Entertainment · · Score: 1

    Actually there is a reason.
    No normal electronic device you would get at Best Buy will cause any problems for aircraft systems.
    But, it is possible that some oddball, third world, home made one could.
    Since the airline cannot take the time to inspect every gadget you bring on board, you get the current rules.

  5. Take a beating on UK Students Build Electric Car With 248-Mile Range · · Score: 1

    I doesn't sound like they have ever driven the Alaska Highway.
    Muddy sections, Gravel sections, Frost Heaves, Mosquitos, Moose.
    A Radical SR8, electric or not is going to have a rough time.
    I look forward to hearing about the effort

  6. Cowboy on Review: Red Dead Redemption · · Score: 1

    I prefer to play cowboy with real guns.

  7. Map it? on Auto-Scanning the Names People Choose For Their Wireless APs · · Score: 1

    I wonder if we could use this list of access points to find and map his drive?

  8. bad on Health Care Reform · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Read it for yourself. What I read is a wet dream for the insurance companies and penalizes anyone who is self-reliant.

  9. Re:Arm your citizens... on Defending Against Drones · · Score: 2, Funny

    Mandatory drug deprivation would save more lives, currently lost to drugs.

  10. Re:How is that sustainable? on Chinese To Supply 600 MW Wind Farm In Texas · · Score: 2, Funny

    You really don't want a large wind turbine on your block.

  11. Re:But is it dead, or is this mutated mitosis? on PSP Go Debuts, Disappoints · · Score: 1

    In my world, "FOREVER", doesn't mean "until Sony decides to take down the server".

  12. Re:Free speech and democracy? on Flickr Yanks Image of Obama As Joker · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They don't seem to have a problem with the photoshopped Sarah Palin porn, so I'd say not very.

  13. mask on Railway Workers Get Daily Smile Scans · · Score: 1

    Where is a guy fawkes mask when you need it.

  14. Re:Every state needs to step up. on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 1

    "Why else do you think the wealth gap is growing out of control?"
    Ok, I'll bite on this.
    I know lots of very wealthy people and also very poor people.
    The wealthy people I know are motivated and make good decisions.
    The poor people I know make bad decisions and don't take responsibility for their condition.
    I'm sure there are exceptions on both ends but this applies to the people I know.
    So let's not pretend that some kind of magic causes one or the other.

  15. Re:Every state needs to step up. on Rhode Island Affiliates Banned From Amazon.com Sales · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "Once wealthy individuals pay their fair share of taxes, then we can talk about eliminating some business taxes."
    You mean once ten percent of the population no longer has to pay ninety percent of the taxes?
    You mean when fifty percent of the population finally pay more than zero net tax?
    You mean when the vast majority stop getting more benefits than they are paying for then maybe we can spend less?
    Yes that sounds great.

  16. Re:That's the real meaning of "voting with your fe on Amazon Cuts Off North Carolina Affiliates · · Score: 4, Funny

    "It's true, I have often found it takes a lot more Lysol to kill a legislator than it does to kill mildew."

    I think this warrants extensive testing just to be sure.

  17. Sim City on US Plans To Bulldoze 50 Shrinking Cities · · Score: 1

    Just like Sim City, you doze the high crime areas.

  18. Re:Gov representing reality is rare on Obama DoJ Goes Against Film Companies · · Score: 1

    When did we have non intervention?
    If the government directs the lending institutions that it controls to make loans to people that a regular market would not consider worthy and the other banks have to compete with that, how is that non intervention?
    When organizations take stupid risks because they know their government buddies will bail them out, how is that non-intervention?
    We have something working that is worse than non-intervention, we have stupid and crooked intervention.
    Before anyone starts with partisan crap, do your homework, both sides of the aisle are astoundingly stupid and crooked.

  19. Children on Robot Warriors Will Get a Guide To Ethics · · Score: 1

    What I have wondered is how a robot will respond to children with bedsheets.

  20. Logo on Portables Without Cameras? · · Score: 1

    Stick an official looking logo or brand name badge over it.

  21. MMORG Mail? on EU Data-Retention Laws Stricter Than Many People Realized · · Score: 1

    What about the mail systems in MMORGs.
    What about the chat or emotes in WOW.
    Do we need to log every Chuck Norris joke spammed on the trade channel in Stormwind?

  22. Re:Cartridges not Bullets on Man Is Injured While Hammering Bullets · · Score: 1

    Projectiles beyond small arms caliber that contain explosives are not referred to as bullets.
    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullet

  23. Cartridges not Bullets on Man Is Injured While Hammering Bullets · · Score: 1

    Bullets are just the projectile.
    Cartridges are the complete assembly of casing, powder, primer, and bullet.
    Hammering on a bullet is a non event, nothing happens.

  24. Re:Fighting the last war on US Pentagon Plans For a Spy Blimp · · Score: 1

    "Osama bin Laden doesn't have any giant lasers, not the last time I checked."
    Or sharks to mount them on for that matter.

  25. Re:I loved Pushing Daises but... on Could Fuller Take Trek Back To TV? · · Score: 1

    You should give Dead Like Me a try. I even liked Wonderfalls.
