  1. Re:What's the point on Apple Store Employee Attempts To Form Union · · Score: 1

    I agree, nobody should try to better their own situation as long as anyone else has it worse off

  2. Re:Gold is different. on Friday's Big Swings, Mostly Down, Illustrate Bitcoin Value Volatility · · Score: 1

    Especially when it's encased in brass and has a primer behind it

    bingo, copper jacketed lead is the only "currency" worth stockpiling vs. the USD, because if the USD crashes you can bet your ass that your shares in gold paper slips will be worthless and the guys who sold them to you will be unavailable (and likely dead)

    people aren't going to wake up one day and say "well shit, the dollar crashed and is now worthless, i guess i am penniless and had better start working for someone who will pay me in gold"

  3. Re:Bitcoin is imaginary on Friday's Big Swings, Mostly Down, Illustrate Bitcoin Value Volatility · · Score: 1

    bitcoin is backed by math and cryptography, the USD is backed by the US government, which due to the failure to raise the debt cap will likely be engaging in inflationary money printing soon enough.

  4. Re:You Know... on English City Council "Not Ready" for Zombie Attack · · Score: 2

    shotguns are great to exceptional. a little $400 Mossberg pump gun is easy to handle in close quarters and very reliable. 12Ga shotgun shells are also probably the easiest ammo te get your hands on as it is carried literally everywhere that sells ammo, it is restricted by law pretty much nowhere, and it's cheap to practice with target loads

  5. Re:You Know... on English City Council "Not Ready" for Zombie Attack · · Score: 2

    AR 15 is a horrible gun for fighting zombies.

    relatively sensitive to rough treatment and inadequate servicing, the direct impingement gas system tends to foul faster and under sustained firing can build up enough heat to melt lacquer coatings from coated ammo, leading to jams that are very fun to clear with the parts so hot.

    if you want to use a semi-auto or assault rifle for zombie protection there are two families of rifle to look at, AK47 and SKS, both are tolerant of rough treatment. my personal preference would be for the SKS the more streamlined 10 round internal box magazine will be less likely to snag while sprinting through woods or close quarters, and the hinged bayonet is long enough to take heads off if it comes to that, though once they are that close it's more a matter of how many guests you bring with you to hell

  6. Re:Implicated? Yeah, and then what. on Research Suggests Tobacco Companies Add Weight Loss Drugs · · Score: 1

    what would be needed is to require health insurance to cover inpatient addiction treatment like we do with other drug treatment.

    the harm is clear and the tobacco companies do everything they can to make it harder to quit.

  7. Re:Nokia on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores · · Score: 1

    not a chance, nokia makes their money on dumb phones, obviously they don't want to get shut out of the smartphone market but they still make every non pile of shit dumb phone / feature phone out there.

  8. Re:MS can fix that easily... on Windows Phones Getting Buried At Carriers' Stores · · Score: 1

    microsoft would do better to work with RIM to ensure blackberries and WP7 devices play well with each other on each other's networks, license blackberry messenger for WP7 and position themselves in between blackberry for emailing-all-the-time obsessed execs and the mailroom guys with their androids and iphones. push it as a smart phone for people who don't want to learn how to use a smart phone.

  9. Re:Specific technical reason its not supported? on Want iCloud With Windows? Ditch the XP · · Score: 1

    The last line of your post is the reason. Apple wants N% of xp users to downgrade to a Mac

  10. Re:DUI Checkpoints on Apple Bans DUI Checkpoint Apps · · Score: 0

    Your impression is wrong. Trucks driven under a commercial license (CDL) would be subject to different rules and restrictions, but private citizens retain their constitutional rights when in their vehicles.

  11. Re:It wouldn't be the first time on Silverlight Developers Rally Against Windows 8 · · Score: 1

    before zune there was microsoft "plays for sure" that sure doesn't play on a zune.

  12. Re:why not use some sort of authenticator? on Court Rules Passwords+Secret Questions=Secure eBanking · · Score: 1

    it would be possible, but would need to be particularly clever. the malware would need to sit idle while the user plays then take over the authenticated session after the user clicks to log out, while intercepting the log out message and spoofing back the normal log out procedure.

  13. Re:Respecting freedom on Stallman: eBooks Are Attacking Our Freedoms · · Score: 1

    It is our moral responsibility, as people who understand the dangers and consequences to do what we can to educate people. We can't and shouldn't try to force them, but they have a moral right to a fair warning

  14. Re:CNN science articles are for morons on Physical Pain and Emotional Pain Use Same Brain Networks · · Score: 1

    people LIKE matte finishes better, people are ATTRACTED to shiny screens in the store, so they sell better.

    put it down to humans are really not much better than our monkey ancestors

  19. Re:E-Ink on Solar Powered Laptops · · Score: 2

    IMO it would be better to put the collectors on the case as an optional accessory, you could get full charge size cells or ones that just extend battery life, it also would make any future improvements in solar tech easy to integrate with existing devices

  20. Re:antibiotic resistance has already been solved on New Superbug Strain Found In Cows and People · · Score: 1

    so swallow a spider to swallow the fly? no thanks

  21. Re:Scaring you away from healthy foods on New Superbug Strain Found In Cows and People · · Score: 1

    antibacterial is completely different from antibiotic, topical antibacterials do not function at all the same way they are just general antiseptics.

  22. Re:It's bigger than the FDA on New Superbug Strain Found In Cows and People · · Score: 1

    over use in general causes it, agribusiness makes over use of antibiotics a primary part of their operation in order to grow bigger fatter animals faster.
