    But then, the Iraqi might have stepped up and participated in their own Arab Spring. We will never know that, and worse, neither will they.

    Correcting grammar to avoid confusion or unnecessary arguments is anathema to everything which /. holds dear.

  5. Re:Questions on Bill "The Science Guy" Nye Says Creationism Is Not Appropriate For Children · · Score: 1

    It is if you created that road and that pothole and then directed people in cars down the road to break their axle if they don’t heed your warning about that pothole you put in the road. It is all a ploy to give yourself meaning, with built in punishment for those who ignore you. That makes you an egocentric prick and AND an asshole.

  6. Re:Unfortunately, UK has become Uncle Sam's lapdog on UK Authorities Threaten To Storm Ecuadorian Embassy To Arrest Julian Assange · · Score: 2, Interesting

    In 1945, the British were partitioning India and redrawing the maps in the middle east, the French were experiencing difficulty reestablishing their colony in Vietnam, the Chinese had almost unified their country, and the U. S. was presiding over the four-way split of Berlin; for all of which, I must take full responsibility and profusely apologize, since I was one year old in 1945, and was thoroughly briefed while having my nappies changed. Finally, I also have little difficulty remembering the American man-in-the-street’s responses to the 1981 storming of the United States embassy in Iran, as not just a diplomatic affront, but as a de facto declaration of war. It immeasurably lowered Iran's international reputation and was the assumed reason why America began supplying weapons and Intel to Saddam Hussein on the Iran–Iraq War a year later.

  12. Re:Pardon? on Parents Baffled By Science Questions · · Score: 5, Funny

    When I asked my mother where I came from, she said, "Cleveland."

  13. Okay, so maybe it will be possible someday, on Can We Build a Human Brain Into a Microchip? · · Score: 1

    but why do we want to produce a computer that accepts the relevance of other computersâ(TM) data based upon the color of their covers, or pays less for other computers' computations based upon that computers' perceived gender?

  14. Re:All that I need now is google underwear! on Google Router Rumors · · Score: 1

    Unless there is someone in your shorts with you, you should already know from where they came. All your really need is a dispersal pattern.

  16. Re:They got a refund on Overzealous AirTran Boots 9 Passengers Off · · Score: 1

    I am uncertain whether or not I should find it reassuring that it was the FBI who had the most rational reaction to this non-emergency. Has their judgement improved, or has everyone else's deteriorated?

  25. Re:Boycott CD's and DVD's on Law Profs File Friend-of-Court Brief Against RIAA · · Score: 1

    We should all just boycott buying any CD's or DVD's at all...they'll get the message. When will we start seeing those film and recording artists -- so quick to tell us what we should support or boycott -- start refusing to participate in the projects of producers and distribution companies that support the MPAA and the RIAA?
