  1. Re:Disband the DEA on DEA Argues Oregonians Have No Protected Privacy Interest In Prescription Records · · Score: 1

    Since the Supreme Court okayed the Interstate Commerce Clause as an abuse club, pretty much anything has been fair game. And this is why we are where we are.

  2. I didn't say anything like that.

    Slashing minor costs like a $3B per year department is like me putting my change in a jar for retirement. It ain't gonna help.

    Not saying it doesn't need to got, but if you're actually interested in saving significant amounts of money, start with the DOD and stop them from being the world's policeman.

  3. See, this is why the DEA exists. Because you're on drugs if you think getting rid of a $3b per year department is a 'great way to reign in the deficit'.

    She's not in Oregon, is she?

    You don't think the DEA might look through her records and some idiot there says 'Hmmm, that's too much for one person. We gotta stop the drug user.'?

    That would be more 'intriguing' than what horse_ebooks was.

  7. Re:XBOX? on Why Is Microsoft Setting More Money On Fire With Surface 2? · · Score: 1

    The GGPs link shows that Microsoft has lost over $3 billion on Xbox in the last 10 years.

    So even if they didn't have to repair a single RROD, they'd still be $2 billion in the hole.

  8. Re:jerk on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    Ahh, love the overly judgmental, holier than thou attitude.

    I don't think I'm above the law. I pay the tickets when I get them. How is that thinking I'm above the law?

    You're just bitter because you spend an extra 50 hours a year sitting in your slower car than I do. Sorry you value your time so much less.

    Well you better get out of the way because I don't :-)

    Why don't you get out of the left lane, grandma?

    The car, the roads and the weather are perfectly fine for driving those conditions.

    Have you been reading up on the BSA lately?

  13. Re:jerk on Georgia Cop Issues 800 Tickets To Drivers Texting At Red Lights · · Score: 1

    I go 15mph over the speed limit just about everywhere I go. Except neighborhoods & school areas because kids seem to like to jump out from behind parked cars in those areas.

    I get a ticket about once a year.

    I figure the time I save over the course of a year more than justifies the price of the ticket.

    I think that duty was passed to another part of the government.

  19. Re:Impractical? on What Will Ubiquitous 3D Printing Do To IP Laws? · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Yeah, the whole point is that everyone becomes a manufacturer.

    The problem with this is that it will never be 'free' or close to free. Printing has never been cheap. And that was just ink and paper.

    Why does everyone think that printing in plastic/metal at a usable structural level isn't going to be orders of magnitude more expensive that buying something wholesale, for at least a generation? Like how it took almost 20 years for laser printers to become common at home.

  20. Re:Well, obviously on Brazil Announces Plans To Move Away From US-Centric Internet · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Per NPR this morning, she cancelled it because she was pissed. As in not rescheduling it. That's about as big a slap in the face as a diplomat can get.

    Maybe Mr. Schmidt should encourage the US government to stop forcing people into fiefdoms just to have some security.
