    If corrupt politicians were assassinated on a regular basis, the media cartels wouldn't be able to buy congress and we wouldn't be in this mess in the first place.

    The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time, with the blood of patriots and tyrants.

  2. Re:Libertarians? on Are Engineers Natural Libertarians Or Technocrats? · · Score: 0

    Just because they might work for a company that may happen to have a contract from a local, state, or Federal government doesn't make his point any less valid. The engineer has to make sure the bridge is sound regardless of if the Feds are paying for it or if it's a foot bridge in a shopping mall.

    Maybe the underlings should get jobs and skillsets that can't be automated.

    Power requirements, probably.

    Though maybe if they slip a Fermi or something inside they won't have to rely on heaters.

    The simple solution would be to just report the costs for the probe as double what they really are, and build two. Then we can have one probe go north and the other go south.

    It's not like Congress can tell the difference.

  6. Re:The US Military on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 0

    Vietnam, Iraq, and Afghanistan aren't examples of the US military and its technology being defeated by simple, low tech opponents. They're examples of the US military and its technology being defeated by politicians and the media throwing wrenches into military operations.

    I guarantee that if the war were being carried out like a war and not like a reality TV show, the missions would have been accomplished and the troops would have been home within a year.

  7. Re:Oh Waa, NASA Doesn't Have Any More Moon Rocks! on NASA Missing Hundreds of Moon Rocks · · Score: 0

    How about we just ignore Congress and go anyway? If Congress doesn't have to use real money, why should NASA?

    Not if we can convince them of the economy of scale that three dudes with shovels and burlap sacks can provide.

  9. Re:not funny at all on Apple Loses Tablet Battle In Australia · · Score: 0

    Really, at this point a judge needs to use the whole "corporations are legally people" argument and sentence Apple to death for multiple counts of attempted murder, assault, and murder of other corporations.

    I used to live in the flight path of McChord AFB in Tacoma, WA. Maybe two or three miles from the runway at most. If I can put up with C-17s leaving skid marks on my roof all day erry day, nobody should be able to complain about airport noise.

    It wasn't Iran. It was Israel.

    I prefer to assume that everything on the cards and boards inside my computer is done with magic and witchcraft once you get past plugging it in and making sure the heat sinks aren't clogged and are seated correctly.

    It's less of a headache that way.

  13. Re:spin. on Bradley Manning's Court Date Finally Set · · Score: 0

    Neither. He'd have been tried and executed immediately, not several years later.

  14. Re:Why are they such assholes? on Apple Threatens Bistro Over "AppleADay" Name · · Score: 0

    At this point, a judge needs to use the fact that corporations are legally people and have Apple executed and its assets seized.

    I don't think that child pornography consumers, homosexuals, and blacks would appreciate being associated with the Jews.

    I must have missed the memo, but what in the name of Sagan is the point of Bitcoins?

    No kidding. All that is is a list of usernames and some worthless data that is publicly available. It's not really anything identifiable; especially since this is TOR we're talking about here, and only affects the people who are going around commenting on content. It wouldn't affect the many thousands who simply lurk and consume the content without contributing.

    "Anon" would be better off datamining 4chan for the posting habits of tripfags. At least that can be connected to the users themselves.

  20. Re:Inert gases are the way to go on Designer Creates "Euthanasia Roller Coaster" · · Score: 5, Funny

    Helium would be the best choice. All the effectiveness of nitrogen, but with the added benefit of the person's last moments being hilarious to any onlookers.

    Maybe you should be writing for the sake of telling a story or spreading information instead of worrying about sales because you see it as a way to make money.

    The only to make money by writing these days is to create gutter trash fantasy novels aimed at overweight teenage girls and illiterate adults.

  23. Re:Why an iPad? on British Govt Debates Swapping Printers For iPads · · Score: 0

    The Kindle is the only thing they should be considering. It's a quarter the price at least, has no stupid games, is a much better platform for reading documents, and can only really be used for information instead of goofing off.

    It also won't shatter if you look at it funny.
