  1. The lawyer speaks from which perspective? on Working Off the Clock, How Much Is Too Much? · · Score: 1

    "Greg Rasin, a partner at Proskauer Rose LLP, a New York business law firm

    Somehow that seems to be code for someone who facilitates activities against citizens. It wouldn't be that too far off to suggest that he would be willing to do the same if asked.

  2. I didn't know WWASPS had Chinese offices. on Teen Killed At Chinese Internet Addiction Camp · · Score: 1

    While they have them for kids addicted to the internet, ours are willing to kidnap them for less specific deeds(and to relatively far-away lands).

  3. Mod parent up, facts != troll. on GM's Hummer Brand To Be Sold To a Chinese Company · · Score: 1

    There are national security implications in selling off that particular brand. Never mind the entire bit about China being the eternally broken copier, creating junk wherever it goes. One need only see the parallels between the Lenovo case and the IBM one. Second, China has not been known for quality throughout history.

  4. Re:I have one sure way on How To Create More Jobs · · Score: 1

    Just be sure to reward them with a zero percent tax for going that route.

  5. Re:cancel the h1bs (mod parent back up) on How To Create More Jobs · · Score: 1

    Too many qualified Americans rejected so that H1Bs can replace them (for the same money). Makes no sense whatsoever. Cancel the H1Bs.

    Same with the L1's and other areas. Have an indefinite moratorium on the practice on the condition that it can only return in a more regulated, transparent, citizen-friendly format.

    How true, and it's a shame that they modbomb you in such a way.

  6. There are other things first. on How To Create More Jobs · · Score: 2, Interesting

    1: Cancel all H1/L1 programs indefinitely, but with a condition that they return at some point in a more regulated form. 2: Reclassify transplant manufacturers as import manufacturers of that particular nation and tax accordingly. 3: Zero taxes on businesses that would comply with a strengthened "Patriot Business" standard. That is, loopholes would be removed. 4: Domestic preference for education and funding thereof at all levels. 5: Put a moratorium on new fuel taxes or changes that effect an increase of any kind. 6: Revert all of the environmental standards for vehicles to 1980's standards.

  7. Giving the transplants more ideas? on Nanocar Wins Top Science Award · · Score: 1

    It's enough that they can't do affordable performance (read: more than an I-4 in a car that is under $20k new and isn't a compact) - this makes the Smartcar look huge. No thanks, but I'll take mine with a bit more muscle and metal per dollar, from the Big Three. The other problem with a nanocar - you don't scrape the ice off of it - it's already coated the whole car.

  8. How about something a bit more meaningful? on Apple Hints At Future Liquid-Cooled Laptops · · Score: 1

    Given that Lenovo has been forced away from AFFS/IPS, how about using some of that clout to move to something that's a lot better than TN and putting that into a laptop? Not RGBLED, not OLED, but something comparable to what Lenovo had with Flexview? Of course, cooling's fine, but it's not as if you can just find whatever panel will fit of your choosing and put it on there.

  9. Re:Then have it server-side where it belongs. on Multi Theft Auto - San Andreas Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    Then by all means leave the authentication code be a platform independent black box; let the network code go open. That way open servers don't need to be hobbled by having platform-dependent net code. Besides, it's not as if one couldn't intercept the calls they may be making to generate it and feed them easily manipulated data.

  10. South Carolina == Sellout Carolina on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    As of this year, the number of meals per day was reduced to 2 and you don't want to know what they serve.

    Nutraloaf? Or make sure the other 47 sane states (save for AZ/TX/SC) make it possible to pardon a crime just for it being in those 3 remaining ones.

  11. You have another problem, Bentonville. on South Carolina Wants To Jam Cell Phone Signals · · Score: 1

    Also known as the home of a "Benedict Arnold" business that knows not of quality or anything made in the United States.

  12. Then have it server-side where it belongs. on Multi Theft Auto - San Andreas Goes Open Source · · Score: 1

    One more reason to go to a model that only puts the authentication modules in a "black box" and made server-side as much as possible. If their netcode is that bad that they have to put it in a DLL black box, then you've got an oracle in the making.

  13. It's still missing some code- net/security modules on Multi Theft Auto - San Andreas Goes Open Source · · Score: 2, Insightful

    All our source code available through this project page is licensed under the GPLv3 license. This excludes any dependencies and our net modules for both the client and server: these are still covered under our proprietary license. These modules have been excluded because of reasons involving security and cheating, but contain only a minimal amount of code.

    No reason not to include them in source form.

  14. Somewhere in Alaska, there is a disappointed on Ted Stevens Loses Senate Re-Election Bid · · Score: 1

    ...governor. Now it will have one for a while longer. The only shame is that this will be an end to the "series of tubes" jokes.

    ...governor and I forget who it is.

    How true, it's a shame that someone had mod points to knock it and the next post down.
    Now the series of tubes will be replaced by a series of tubular shaped bars.

    I guess someone wanted "Disagree" and thought that was the replacement.

    ...then become a lobbyist.

  16. Reaganomics and its false promises. on The Greatest Scientific Hoaxes? · · Score: 1

    Since it's a science, why not include something from economics? The hoax would be the part where it was supposed to help versus the reality of it causing long-term harm.

    He lost his conservative media blessing. (Score:0, Flamebait)

    It's not as if the parent poster couldn't see that coming. Who gave Palin fans modpoints?

  18. Well, he certainly did lose it on Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    He lost his conservative media blessing. (Score:0, Flamebait) Now when will it be Palin's turn, or will they just simply say that they didn't have the authority?

    Not much difference between the two, except Stevens caused a bit more benefit. Expect a Palin-hostile candidate if not a Democrat to replace him. That's presuming that he doesn't get pardoned.

  19. Mod parent up, quality *is* a good concern. on Asus Launches Touchscreen Eee Desktop · · Score: 1

    Get Modbomb'ed much? Is quality too much to ask, and pointing out where ASUS does cut too many corners?

  20. Re:Other helpful practices: smart braking on Fuel Efficiency and Slow Driving? · · Score: 1

    This tactic can be quite entertaining if, for example, an impatient bozo in a SUV comes up behind you while you're coasting, honks, pulls around you and speeds ahead only to stop at the light, and then you smoke him as you coast through the light just as it turns green.

    Of course, that presumes nobody is in your lane or theirs, and they don't switch. Then you have to stop.

    ...then whatever entertainment value is thankfully and rightfully lost.
    (-1, Overrated)

    One more reason to stick it to environmentalists and choose Detroit.

  21. Where's the original? on Google Accidently Revealed As eBay Critic · · Score: 1

    It's a bit hard to believe when the only copy has the stripped metadata - where's the original? Otherwise it just seems like a PR stunt.

  22. Parent is spammed troll link, notice is relevant. on YouTube Video Stats, Sharing, and 2007 Re-Mixed · · Score: 1
