  1. Re:Thanks Australia on Pub Patrons Down Under Subject To Biometric Datamining · · Score: 1

    Banning firearms, IMO, is the biggest loss of civil liberty in Australia.

    Add to that this insulting idea that you can't have a drink without giving up your identity to an establishment that really has NO RIGHT to have or keep makes it plain that there are some serious problems in that county. I've always wanted to visit it. Have many friends who live there. But if the price of a cocktail is your identity, even your fingerprints? Come on ... why in the world would anyone put up with that?

  3. Re:Everything malfunctions on Sensor Measures In Fingertips If Driver Is Drunk · · Score: 1

    LOL ..... Half the thieves out there will still argue with you that the moon landing was hollywood fiction and the entire reason they are behind bars is all about trying to stem the spread of whatever religion they claim. I'm sure we wont have problems convincing them that cut off fingers wont work.

  4. Great news on Police Arrest Five Over Anonymous Attacks · · Score: 1

    They need to be able to track down cyber criminals and bring them to justice. Hopefully they are sentenced to 10 years hard labor and never being able to have a computer again.

  5. Re:Hmmm on Anonymous Organizes Global Protests For WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    I still call BS in your little fasinating story that it would have ended the exact same way. Sure Hitler had F'd himself. But for all those boots you casually discard they very likely would have had a workable nuke by the time Russia was able to do it all by themselves. Oh .. and since what if is part of your fantasy ... what if .. Japan had invaded russia and divided their war efforts?

    Yeah ... so many possibilities .. so many randoms when you decided to arbitrarily change what has already taken place. Nice effort to be an ass though.

  6. LOL on New York Times Reports US and Israel Behind Stuxnet · · Score: 1

    And somehow the NY times has some credibility?

    Not with me they don't. Pretty easy to make up anything they want and publish it as fact when Neither of the Gov'ts involved will be willing to say "yup .. we did it" LOL

    Someone with money bought a boat. News at 11.

    I mean come on ... who the fraq cares?

  8. Re:Hmmm on Anonymous Organizes Global Protests For WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    Don't forget to see where a lot of Russia's war material came from. A lot of it had a Made in USA stamp on it. If it wasn't for that they may have been speaking german too. But to say that our but its biggest effect was to ensure that the Russian advance stopped after they got to Germany ... is leaving a great big ole WTF going through my head.

  9. Dems can't stand an honest process on Democrats Crowdsourcing To Vote Palin In Primaries · · Score: 1

    This is just one more way those asshats will go out of their way to insure a skewed election result. Once in a while I get a sot spot for some piece of the dems liberal agenda and then they do this sort of shit and I'm right back to saying F em.

    Go Palin! Kick their asses!!

  10. Re:Cut YouCut on 'YouCut' Targets National Science Foundation Budget · · Score: 1

    But why start there? Why not start with those worthless science programs? If we can get the soccer study nerfed then maybe we can get grants to something much more pleasing.

    I watched the video. I don't see anything to get upset over. The real problem is getting enough 'real people' involved so that input from 'special interest' groups don't influence the process.

  11. Re:No such information is in evidence. on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 1

    I would have to say that in general, everyone allows their personal bias to influence their positions.

    I think I would rephrase you last little bit there. Fox news viewers don't want the liberal slant on news. You know, the kind where conservative and or christian values are vilified. SO they take what they can get. YMMV

  12. I am sure on Survey Shows That Fox News Makes You Less Informed · · Score: 2, Insightful

    That a survey designed year after year to bash Fox News isn't at all biased in design, intent, delivery, execution and conclusion.

    Good job liberals .. more FUD for the fodder. Mixing cool aid is Fun !!

  13. In a strange twist of fates on WikiLeaks Defenders Threaten Amazon · · Score: 1

    This has me breaking out my Visa to put money on my paypal account and make a purchase on Amazon I had not planned on. All in all this may be a boon for the companies those criminals are attacking. And it's going to be bad for the criminals at wikileaks also. As it's causing people like me to actually sympathize with the corporations under attack. Something I would normally NEVER do.

  14. Re:I call BS on Pentagon Papers Ellsberg Supports Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    The butchers bill isn't paid in full yet. The people who run Wikileaks should have to pay in kind.

    The people who release info to wikiLeaks also. Only one way to deal with rabid animals ..

  15. I call BS on Pentagon Papers Ellsberg Supports Wikileaks · · Score: 0

    "any and all exposure of even the most misguided, secretive foreign policy"

    Oh yeah ... I suppose that's exactly the issue. NOT.

    The issue now, as it was then. Is it's irresponsible to release the information. Leaking the Pentagon papers was bad then just as this is bad now.

    This BS about information wanting to be free is a huge load of crap.

  16. Pallin is correct on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    "So that means we should spend billions of dollars and not catch him? Good plan."

    Nice way to troll there Taco. Worked too I see. Good job.

    But Yeah, I agree. Wikileaks peoples should be hunted down and captured. What to do with them after that? Hard question. After they edited the helicopter video to try to depict the US army as shooting civilians for fun I say hang every one of them.

  17. Re:Hope It Helps End the Fighting on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Point taken.
    My point was the production lines have been open for a very long time. It's simple and cheap to produce. When the new system's production lines are up to speed the price per unit will fall.

  18. Re:Hope It Helps End the Fighting on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    There is economy of scale to play in to it also.

    M-16's have been around forever. They have made lot of m-16's and it's variants and to date, the variants still roll off the production lines. Production lines that have been in place a long long time.

    This new "gee wizz batman, I sure wish they had had that when I was in" $35k rifle will get cheaper as production lines and development are finalized.

    Even then the system and it's components wont be cheap. In the end though, it really is a revolutionary tool for the war fighters. When the troopers get up to speed on how to actually use it I think the price wont be as big an issue as it is now. $35k for a rifle is an astonishing price. But then, this is more than a rifle and the capabilities are well worth it.

    All I can say is Finally it's here !

  19. I hope the DOJ hems them up good on Scalpers Bought Tickets With CAPTCHA-Busting Botnet · · Score: 1

    For years now I have been trying to go see a certain artist perform. Only to find the only tickets available ... moments after scheduled release, was at the shady reseller sites. I've always refused to pay 5x the face value or even 2x face value. Especially when it is blatant fraud on the part of the re-sellers.

    Hopefully the DOJ hems them up in prison for a very very long time indeed. Say, one day for every ticket they snatched up .. or one day for every dollar they made. Or just take them out back and shoot them. They deserve it.

  20. Finally on WikiLeaks 'a Clear and Present Danger,' Says WaPo · · Score: 1

    Some common sense. The US should use every tool in it's inventory to kill, capture and destroy this rouge, private espionage service.

    Not only the US. Every nation has a stake in it.

    The sooner the better IMO.

  21. I hope on Tor Developer Detained At US Border, Pressed On Wikileaks · · Score: 1

    That they figure out a way to arrest every one of the dirtbags who has ever worked on wiki leaks.

    Classic example of good idea gone bad.

  22. I still say on Interview With the Man Behind WikiLeaks · · Score: 1

    If something awful happens to befall the guy he gets what he deserves. I'd even support any Gov't efforts to help that something awful along. He's put the lives of people in jeopardy. He thinks it will somehow serve a greater purpose if those people (our sons and daughters serving as war fighters) get killed rather than allow the Govt's to have classified communica. He's a buffoon.

  23. Wiki Leaks need shut down on WikiLeaks Publishes Afghan War Secrets · · Score: 1

    There is a line between 'serving the public' and recklessly endangering the lives of our war fighters. They have crossed it and need to pay the piper.

    The people who sent the information and the people who have decided to publish it deserve whatever awful experiences are in their future.

  24. I for one on Wikileaks Founder Advised To Avoid American Gov't · · Score: 1

    Hope that the US Mill gets their hands on the guy.

    Send in an A team .. .and grab this dirt bag. Set him up a nice cozy spot in some far away place and sweat him for a bit.

  25. There are problems with ethanol. on The Great Ethanol Scam · · Score: 2, Informative

    Ethanol attracts moisture. A stabo additive is required.

    It attacks fuel lines. This spring I had to change out the fuel lines in all my lawn equipment. The line trimmer had (was cheaper) to be replaced.

    It's a nightmare for the marine industry. Not only attacking the fuel lines, but the internal fuel tanks also.

    Needless to say, I've learned my lesson. I go out of my way to purchase fuels that don't have ethanol mixed in.

    Maybe in the future everything will be ethanol tolerant. But that day isn't today.
