  1. The pitty of it all on Bradley Manning Makes Statement · · Score: -1, Troll

    is that he wont have to answer for the deaths of his fellow service members his reckless actions caused.

    1. He's a traitor.
    2. He should he executed. I know he isn't. Not by the Gov.t Once again, we have to hope that the deserved final justice will be handed out by the people we have already convicted.

  2. Re:Huh. on How Many Seconds Would It Take To Crack Your Password? · · Score: 0

    You may not be factoring in distributed computing. I don't know how many computers the average bot net contains, but I'm sure you could set up a bot net to crack passwords. Distributed.net has been doing it for over a decade.

  3. Hard choices on Best Buy Chairman and Founder Resigns Ahead of Schedule · · Score: 0

    I've been burnt by BB in the past with their service. Since then I have not purchased a single item from them. Having said that they where one of my few choices. BB, Office Max and if I'm up for a drive ... Fry's.

    I might have to find a local shop to start a relationship with. If I can find any with personality I like.

  4. It's all good on Climate Change To Drive Weather Disasters, Say UN Experts · · Score: -1, Troll

    We just have to pay Al Gore his copy right claim for inventing global warming and it will all go away.

    True, but me being a pain in their ass wasn't a priority for me until this morning.

    But what about Rural Michigan ?

    If they want to impress me they will improve their own back yards before pond skipping.

  7. Just so you know on Hunters Shoot Down Drone of Animal Rights Group · · Score: 1

    Any of you bunny hugers that deliberately try to ruin my hunt better hope that the only thing that gets shot is their drone.

  8. Fatigue. on Troops In Afghanistan Supplied By Robot Helicopter · · Score: 1

    Hopefully this will allow human operators to get by with a little less fatigue. Lesson their op tempo a little.

    And do more with less. In this case, we have a need to deliver more cargo and we have won't need as many pilots to do it.

  9. Re:Military vs. Civilian Justice on Tech Forensics Take Center Stage in Manning Pre-Trial · · Score: 1

    Indeed ... I foresee him getting a lot of exercise at the USDB ... making little rocks out of big ones for the rest of his life.

    What makes you believe he didn't sleep for a year?

  11. Re:Military vs. Civilian Justice on Tech Forensics Take Center Stage in Manning Pre-Trial · · Score: 1

    Most likely he was held in solitary for his own benefit. Contrary to what a lot of people want to believe ... most military people don't like traitors.

  12. Re:Military vs. Civilian Justice on Tech Forensics Take Center Stage in Manning Pre-Trial · · Score: 1

    It's seperate because he is charged under the UCMJ and not under civilian law or statute. There are a lot of good reasons for this. For example. Commanders maintain good order and discipline within the ranks by administering punishments as laid out under the UCMJ. Non judicial punishments for smaller infractions and Judicial punishments for those infractions that demand it.

  13. Re:Military vs. Civilian Justice on Tech Forensics Take Center Stage in Manning Pre-Trial · · Score: 1

    All of the evidence matters. Right now, the Art 32 hearing is just that. It's an assessing of the evidence to see if there is enough evidence to proceed with a trial. The difference being that the procedures, laws and regulations are from the Uniform Code of Military Justice.

    The trial will be fair. All the evidence will be considered.

  14. Sounds great on In Nuclear Power, Size Matters · · Score: 1

    Lets just hope they aren't made in china and shipped here.

    From what I hear ... the things they are having factory made and shipped into the US from china to use in the nuke plants is of dubious quality. There was a time when the US would only use items made in the US at nuke plants. They seriously need to go back to that.

  15. That is all well and good. on DARPA Commits To Funding Useful Hacking Projects · · Score: 1

    But what is DARPA, or anyone else for that matter, about making sure chips made in china don't have bugs built in?

    I /refuse/ to purchase an item that is known to me to have chips made in china because I believe it to be compromised.

    How can one be sure that the hardware in the devices made there are not bugged?

  17. Not a fan on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    I hate driving in Carmel. Definitely a city to be avoided at all costs. Not just for the traffic circles ... but that is one of the reasons.

  18. Re:The Wrong Plan on White House Explains Transport-Energy Future · · Score: 1

    Show me again where Amtrak is making me money. I somehow missed that headline. 7:1 .... where is all the money ... I want 7:1 return on every dime we have put into Amtrak. And heck .. if this was such a great money maker everyone would be doing it. But they are not. Even cities with huge public transport systems (LA for instance) ... sell off their public transport assets and ;lease them back. If they where making 7:1 returns there is no way they would have to do such foolish things.

  19. Re:morons on Why Does the US Cling To Imperial Measurements? · · Score: 1

    I don't think they would .. I think they would revolt. As soon as someone figures out they are getting hosed even worse by the gasoline companies by being forced to purchase the get less for more liter .... and as soon as no one could figure out how far anything was anymore because of some fool calling it a meter instead of a mile ... people would go nuts and demand a return to normal measure. And don't even get me started on the lunacy of C vs F ... nope ... Leave it all imperial until after I'm dead thank you very much.

  20. Re:regauarding e books on E-Book Sales Have Tripled In the Last Year · · Score: 1

    The wife and I both re-read the entire Wheel of Time series every time there is a new book published. And Yes, the collection of books in the house has actually grown past the space we have to store them all. But that's ok ... we are getting some new shelves soon. LOL

    I can see some appeal to e books. But for me ... someone who /still/ prefers a printed version of whatever media I'm looking at the appeal of another dead battery housing is pretty much null. After all ... I already have flashlights and cell phones for storing dead batteries. Do I really need something else for that?

  21. Re:They are going to have to pass a law on Students Suspended, Expelled Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 1

    Have to agree. These schools Vs student facebook postings are ridiculous.

  22. Re:From TFA on Students Suspended, Expelled Over Facebook Posts · · Score: 0

    So irresponsible name-calling because of a low grade or something is now expressing oneself and an example of free speech? Nice.

    When did it stop being free speech?

    Seems to me the school needs a huge helping of common sense fed to them. "Out of the mouths of babes" ... maybe there should be laws to prosecute kids for what they say .. NOT.

  23. aiding the enemy on Bradley Manning Charged With Aiding the Enemy · · Score: -1, Troll

    While I applaud the new charges I am dismayed that they opted not to have him executed. If we get lucky we can expect that someone inside the prison will execute him for us after a long and thorough introduction to PMITA prison life. Pfft ... justice is strange though. He deserves a painful existence with a swift but equally painful execution but will likely be put up in some supermax solitary confinement, safe, sound and forgotten.

    Hopefully they can get a hold of the wikleakers and have them charged too.

  24. Re:Privacy on Talking To Computers? · · Score: 1

    Privacy IS a concern. Most of the time it's no one else's bizz what I am doing on my comp. I had to work on an apple comp that was always trying to talk to me. I hated that "feature." So did my co workers.

    Heck, I have two children and a wife that talk back. If my comp starts to talk back to me I will smash it with a hammer and then burn it.
