    What's more, though the quality suffers the videos are even generally intelligible!

    But I never reached the rank of General. Heck I was an enlisted man.

  5. Re:On the positive side on US Airport Screeners Missed 95% of Weapons, Explosives In Undercover Tests · · Score: 1

    After my last airport screening, I'm now fairly confident that I don't have colon cancer.

    yet.

    Why do you find it strange that ignorant politicians and greedy media moguls are ham-handed in their dispensation of "justice" in the protection of their revenue streams. I'm waiting with bated breath for Edger Rice Burroughs to "innovate" a new series of Ganymede novels wherein the plot goes: hero meets girl, hero loses girl to evil antagonist, hero chases antagonist and saves the girl and they (i.e. hero & girl, not hero & antagonst) kiss (and nothing else!) at the end. I hear Ernest Hemingway is recovering nicely from his suicide by using all that generous royalty income towards the latest medical technology to cure his malady and will be penning a sequel to "For Whom The Bell Tolls" just in time for Xmas gift giving. Let us all fervently hope Roger Zelazny will provide us with a new Amber novel and a astonishing collection of short stories. Would it be too much to ask for another six dimensional Lazurus Long novel from R.A.H.? I have a burning need to know if Mycroft and Athena ever "get it on" and Colin Campbell and Hazel Stone survived to write more "Scourge of the Spaceways" scripts .

  7. Re:More info please on DNA On Pizza Crust Leads To Quadruple Murder Suspect · · Score: 1

    Wait..Is toppigenetics the study of the DNA of toppings on pizza?

    No its the study of the mitochondrial inheritance mechanisms of topo gigio [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Topo_Gigio]

  8. Distinct lack of SATA ports on Rate These 53 Sub-$200 Hacker SBCs, Win 1 of 20 · · Score: 1
    Only the minnowboardMax [http://www.minnowboard.org/meet-minnowboard-max/] provides a SATA port and according to the FAQ the SoC doesn't support port multipliers although expansion via mPCI is hinted at (no HW recommendations to accomplish it, though) and it appears to be limited to 2GB max. ZOTAC just announced a new box, the RI531 [http://www.zotac.com/news/press-releases/article/archive/2015/may/article/zotac-elevates-the-mini-pc-with-all-new-r-series.html], but I doubt it will be under $200, even barebones (no disc, no mem),$399 more likely.

    What I would really like to see is Arm 64bi@1Ghz+t, RTC, 4GB+, 2 SATA (power&Data, 2 ethernet (PoE in [& out with extern P/S] would be nice) with Arch or Fedora 22 linux on bootable SD and a case to mount 2 2.5 drives and the board.

    I dont suppose there is any hope he would commit suicide after charges are brought?

  13. Re:Liars and traitors. on Senators Demand CIA Director Admit He Lied About Spying On Senate Computers · · Score: 2

    Seems like an awfully close correspondence with"To serve Man"?

  14. a logarithmic fee increase would be better, apply the additional funds towards deeper and more comprehensive examination of that patent.

  15. These jerks are not just poisoning the well, they're throwing dead goats in it.

    Is that before or after they sodomize the goat?

  16. Re:Terrible Then Too on The Future Deconstruction of the K-12 Teacher · · Score: 1

    The union should care enough about the kids and their own profession that it wants to keep bad teachers from working.

    will never happen, non-working/fired teachers dont pay dues and collecting dues and expanding the flock of payers is the fundament of a union.

    Have to rule out twinkies, they'd still be soft and deliciously golden brown.

    Any windows "update" without providing domain membership & policies or RDP capabilities is worthless and will be (& has been) replaced with Linux. If your windows game wont at least run under wine, then I wont be purchasing it. WTP is filled with useless 'features' "Picture of the Day", "live" tiles, sports, weather, disabled/deleted where possible. Needs a pre-installed group policy/wizard to turn such bloat off.

    almost as effective, dont pee on you hands (although urine is essentially sterile as it leaves your body) or wipe yourself with the bare fingers of your left hand.

    only because there is not enough time to sign all the executive orders that would be required. The spirit is willing, but his fleshy fingers cramp up.
