    When we are talking about 2% loss, it is not about voting accuracy, it is about vote retention.

  4. Re:I don't know if someone proposed this but... on Better Living Through Nukes? · · Score: 3, Funny

    I suggest blowing all the ice in Antarctica to put more water into oceans to dissolve all that dangerous CO2 to keep it away from the atmosphere to stop the global warming and finally to avoid the melting of Antarctica.

  5. Re:No,he is very clever :) on Obama Calls For Nuke-Free World · · Score: 1

    Also, those people that you nuke, most often have relatives outside of the nuked zone, and they're going to be upset.

    Just nuke them too. Problem solved.

    No, it is right on time for Russia.

  7. Re:Does the law have the right direction? on Graphic Artists Condemn UK Ban On Erotic Comics · · Score: 1

    It's yucky and I don't like it personally so you shouldn't be allowed to do it. Decent people (like me) both agree.

    There fixed that for you.

  8. Obligatory on US Forgets How To Make Trident Missiles · · Score: 1

    Politicians come from regular public. Garbage in, garbage out. (who said that?)

  11. Or money back on Designer Babies · · Score: 1, Informative

    I remember a story about someone who used a certain modern "scientific" technique to provide a guarantee of baby's gender. If he was wrong he promised the money back. Of course he got to keep the money in about 50% of the time.

  12. Re:Could be worse on Teacher Sells Ads On Tests · · Score: 1

    You can not take away tenure for saying truth. Or what he thinks truth is. Or just express whatever opinion he got. I remember a case when some university could not fire a tenured teacher who said something like USA deserved 9/11 the next day when it was a huge deal. I heard this has something to do with the US constitution.

  13. Re:I would on Would You Add Easter Eggs To Software Produced At Work? · · Score: 4, Funny

    Subtlety is indeed a key. There was a Russian developing team working on games for a big American company. So the manager demanded that the coders would not put the word "dick" (in Russian it is as offensive as "fuck") anywhere in the game. He stressed that repeatedly saying that Russians are notorious for mentioning the dick somewhere on the wall or something. He pleaded and begged, saying the game is for children and he would fire everyone before getting fired himself.

    So they released a game, and only few noticed that if you look at some plane drawing smoke pictures in the sky from a certain angle, you would see that it writes the infamous "dick".

    unlike, say, AIG, who's failure would have untold repercussions throughout the financial industry).

    That is what is called an inoperable cancer. You can not remove it even if it leads to one's ultimate demise.

  15. A solution to the financial crisis on US Financial Quagmire Bringing Out the Scammers · · Score: 2, Funny

    Paulson's plan is nothing. Throwing $700bln into the financial system... pfft. I am willing to negotiate my plan with Bush and his administration. All I have to do is to realize my loss, and all the stocks will rally to the sky. It will also solve bankruptcy of several big corporations in which I have big (err, now small) positions. I have done so many times in the past, I single-handedly stopped dot-com collapse, helped to avoid a complete meltdown after 9/11, last fall I helped Dow to regain $14k. Unfortunately I have decided to invest a lot in May 2008 again and doubled down just recently. Now the market awaits for me to close all my positions.

  16. Re:Sweet? on $700 Billion Bailout Signed Into Law · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Scumbags managed to lose lots of their money, now they can rejoice for they now can lose your money. If you are an american taxpayer, your participation means that you are down roughly $5k.
