    The government has already proven it will detain people just for what they know, without criminal charge, without provocation, without family access, without legal representation, without regard for international criticism, without regard for international laws and norms, without safeguards for personal safety, without justification or oversight by the courts.

    Al Quida has already proven it will behead people just for what they know, without criminal charge, without provocation, without family access, without legal representation, without regard for international criticism, without regard for international laws and norms, without safeguards for personal safety, without justification or oversight by the courts.

    Big difference, beheading and detaining. but then War is hell. Best to hope the next missile doesn't fly up your ass or perhaps you would best fight the war with tea and more BS.

    The phrase "coin-operated policy dispenser" not only reminds me of Alex of Tacoville but also our beloved Congressman and Representatives.

    Not really. Someone crumpled and trashed the blueprints and they never quite got them straightened out.

    Dearest Anonymous Coward,

    Thank you for the "building" info. As to the last instruction, before I get into that situation and since you are such a sweetheart, show me how to do that.

  5. people vs. BIG Corps on Walmart Begins Rollout of RFID and EPC Tags · · Score: 2, Insightful

    More and more it looks like the fog on the divide is lifting. For some of us the Corps have taken our jobs and our dignity, control our government and "our" (Ha!) representatives, and are dictating the necessity of a police state. This is the direction things are going, so what now? I am an Infidel but the idea of Corporation terrorist doesn't seem to sound to bad at the moment. (I'll regret saying that! Now I am surely on THE list.)

    A magnetic pulse generator does strange things to RF devices. Anyone know where I can get the plans for one. Perhaps designed to fit within a cane?

  6. A little help on Moving Up the IT Ladder in a Poor Economy? · · Score: 1

    A CS degree, being tough minded, hard work, and recognization of your knowledge is good. It is expected. Things are tough these days when a lot of the jobs are being sent to India, China, Russia, etc. so it helps to have a little leverage, ...like some naked pictures of your boss.

    Ya gotta love this guy. What else can I say... Before long M$ will hire you Jon for a million or so a year just to keep you dormant.

    I have a suggestion for the name of that new "house"....

  9. Re:Three Mile Island on Chernobyl...18 Years Later · · Score: 5, Informative

    The Operators and Techs at Chernobyl were doing low power Physics testing and trying to take the reactor critical at the time of the accident. The reactor design was stable and proven. The reactor had been just previously shutdown and had been operating at power. While operating at power one of the fission products that is produced is Xenon, an isotope that has a huge microscopic cross-section for absorption for neutrons, and hence a reactor poison. Unknown to the Operators and Techs this Xenon buildup prevented the reactor from going critical to do the low power testing and they kept bypassing safety circuits to achieve criticality. They also kept pulling "rods" to expose more of the core until nearly the entire core was exposed. They achieved criticality and in a short time the worst thing imaginable happened. Xenon burn-off came down the curve and was no longer an inhibitor to neutron population. The resulting super-critical pulse blew the reactor apart, set fire to the graphite moderator, and in general destroyed the physical plant. The rest is history.

    The photojournalist should get some kind of reward for an excellent presentation. This is the best coverage I have seen to date on the results of "Chernobyl".

  10. MPAA? Get a court order! on Losing Control of Your TV · · Score: 1

    If the MPAA wants control of my TV set they will have to get a court order to enter my house to plug it in. It's 'new', with the little plastic baggy still on the plug, unplugged for four years now and supports a flower pot. Perfect application.
