  1. Re: basically doing the same as china? on Facebook Is Clamping Down On Fake News, Partners With Fact Checkers To Flag Stories (slate.com) · · Score: 1

    Well, reality does have a well known liberal bias...

  2. They can't change the law. It would require a Constitutional Amendment and I can't see 37 states being willing to give up their power so that the big states like California and New York can marginalize them. Luck with that.

    Except their lack of population marginalized them already. Why not just admit that you don't believe in the principle of one person, one vote?

  3. Proof? Hint: Breitbart.com doesn't count.

  4. How sad that Asimov's vision (the Three Laws of Robotics) seems to have lost out to James Cameron's post-apocalyptic vision from "Terminator".

  5. Re:Never that specific program on Hillary Clinton Used BleachBit To Wipe Emails (neowin.net) · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. The alleged ability to read data that's been erased multiple times (with slack space overwritten as well), is a blind for the black bag placement of keyboard readers and EMF bugs.

  6. Re:Suggestions anyone? on FBI Unlocks iPhone Without Apple's Help In San Bernadino Case (recode.net) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    You still think this was just about getting access to that phone for intelligence reasons? Are you telling me the FBI didn't even know about this Israeli security firm that could unlock iPhones? Because they obviously didn't even bother asking them before going to the courts.

    Please. They backed off because they saw the wind wasn't blowing in their direction. The *last* thing they wanted to do was to lose this case and set a negative precedent.

    Wish I had mod points. The FBI back down because they were about to have their ass handed to them in Federal Court, setting exactly the opposite precedent that they wanted!

  7. Re:And yet on Judge Rejects $324.5 Million Settlement For Tech Workers, Argues For More · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Are you posting because the pages to your copy of "Atlas Shrugged" are stuck together again?

  8. patent troll on Nokia Sues HTC, RIM and Viewsonic · · Score: 2

    If you can't innovate, litigate.

  9. Won't! on Why Everyone Hates the IT Department · · Score: 2

    Won't lead. Won't follow. Won't get out of the way. What's to like?

  10. Re:In other words, we should give up. on Ron Paul Suggests Axing 5 U.S. Federal Departments (and Budgets) · · Score: 1

    And thus, his point is proved.

    NOAA services are not free, they are paid for by taxes. TANSTAAFL. The fact that you call them "free" means you've stopped associating government services with the costs incurred through taxation.

    This is one of the big problems. Too many people think of government services as "free" because there is no direct association with the taxes required to pay for them. The true costs are hidden, so people make foolish decisions because they don't see a cost.

    I like paying taxes, with them I buy civilization.

  11. Re:And... on Ubuntu Wipes Windows 7 In Benchmarks · · Score: 1

    Really? I haven't had a Flash crash since early in Hardy Heron 64-bit. Sounds like FUD to me.

    I'm no apologist for the war in Iraq, but come on!
    OTH the governments of the U.S. and the U.K. have KILLED tens of thousandst s of Muslims in an unprovoked war of aggression.
    How is 3500 dead in New York and Washington not a provocation? How is an invasion of a neighboring state not a provocation? That said, due process is needed to see that no innocent people are detained in the name of security.
  13. Re:Illegal? on NSA Had Domestic Call Monitoring Before 9/11? · · Score: 1

    "International Law" only exists because nation-states permit it jurisdiction. If I-L negatively impacts national interests, nation-states will no longer grant it such permission. End of discussion.

    When the European countries were world powers, they understood this...

  14. WMA? on Virgin's New iPod Rival · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Since when is WMA considered an open standard? How about FLAC or OGG?

  15. Re:Two Words: Public Domain on NASA Open Source License Still Up For Discussion · · Score: 2, Informative

    It already is. An often overlooked feature of the U.S. copyright code is that works produced by U.S. government (including works for hire) are not eligible for copyright protection. Since copyleft is a form of copyright, no license is appropriate.

  16. real Silver CD's on Say Goodbye To Your CD-Rs In Two Years? · · Score: 1

    The silver salts used in black and white photography have a known life span of over 100 years. Instead of dyes, use silver halides! A problem may lie with Polaroid patents.
