  1. Re: Just deport him back to Germany on Volkswagen Executive Faces Jail Time After Guilty Plea (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    No, he'll still be rich when he gets out, so America will welcome him into her bosom. The "criminal record" stuff is only fro the poor.

  2. Re:Corprorate Death Sentence on Wells Fargo Sued Again For Misbilling Car Owners And Veterans (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    If you look at ANY of the big banks in the US, or really anywhere in the world, they all do this shit.

    Hell, it's why the US has Frank-Dodd (more for brokers/financial services), and why the Republicans are hell-bent on repealing that as well.

    Once a bank gets big enough that it can't really "grow" (or grow as fast as before), it has to boost profits somehow. The easiest way is to defraud a lot of little people who don't know any better. This is a basic law of banking. They all do it.

  3. I don't care how much you clean it, I'm not going to even touch his seat. Either of them.

    Except the insurance company is also supposed to apply how likely the event is to happen to the cost of it happening.

  5. It would be if big media could properly monetize it, which they can't because people are stealing the pictures nilly-willy.

  6. Minutes before the bill is voted on, it will be altered to also permit state and federal prosecutors go after copyright infringement as well, because people are stealing approximately 14.8 quadrillion dollars from big media. Every day.

    But now who will SNL use as part of their skits with Trump? Just Bannon gets boring.

    I was looking forward to something like an Austin Powers setup, with Dr. Evil and the mooch portrayed as mini-me (hyper-agressive sycophant looking for a father-figure).

  8. Re: i will never forget... on Scientists Genetically Engineer the World's First Blue Chrysanthemum (sciencemag.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure a lot of people in the southern states in the USA tried this already, and they remained scared of black people. Of course, instead of genetic modification, they just beat the hell out of a lot of black people to make them blue.

  9. Re:Why does it even send the info back to iRobot? on Roomba Is No Spy: CEO Says iRobot Will Never Sell Your Data (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    "iRobot will never sell your data"....however, we will share your data with our trusted partners, who just happened to have given us a bunch of money for no specific reason.

  16. Re:It's quite telling what they left out. on NASA Uploads Hundreds of Rare Aircraft Films to YouTube (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 2

    They also made a documentary out of it.

    It's called "Independence Day".

  17. The pay is better if you are a guy...

  18. Re:This is what happens... on Game of Thrones Pirates Being Monitored By HBO, Warnings On The Way (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    No. Anytime someone watches one of HBO's shows, and HBO doesn't get all the money for watching the show, means that somewhere, an executive is passed out in his chair, and there is still a small amount of sperm left in his balls.

    Won't you think of that sperm, and make sure HBO gets all their money, so that a hooker can return to that office, and suck out that sperm? In between snorts of cocaine of course.

    After the shooting in Minneapolis a couple of days ago, the number of people calling 911 to report something should go down...

    Sorry, he's still busy swirling Donald's balls with his tongue, because Donald's penis doesn't come close to filling his mouth.

    Now Donald has a real department to refer to when he goes around talking about "the cyber".

    Normally, your post would seem completely odd, but it completely fits in with a sci-fi article.

    Not a trillion. Just every bit of currency in every denomination in the world. Paid to them each year.

    Naturally, they will be sure to fairly distribute 0.000000000001% of all revenue to their artists. Because they care.

  25. Re: Oh please! Really? on Congress Seeks To Outlaw Cyber Intel Sharing With Russia (onthewire.io) · · Score: 1

    Again, totally different goalposts.

    This "collusion" is not about a President interacting with/negotiating/talking with foreign governments/leaders.

    This "collusion" is about one or more private citizens working with a foreign gov't to possibly corrupt an election.

    Two weeks ago: "Me and my campaign never did this, and would never do this. It's completely ridiculous."
    Now: "Um, it's not illegal, my son is a fine person, everyone would do this, it's completely normal"

    And then Trumps ridiculous tweet today (June 16/2017, one week AFTER his son released info on how the top three people in his campaign went to collude with Russia) went back to mention the "Russian Hoax", like it no longer happened in his reality.

    And again, you deflect to wanting to see corporations tax returns, ignoring:
    a) every other candidate for President has released their tax returns, for a long time.
    b) Trump gave a completely ridiculous excuse not to do it, but did say that he would do it, after his tax audit was complete, then, once elected, changed it to "fuck you, I'm not doing it"
