    No, they're Italian-American. That's why they make a wop wop wop noise.

    Effectively through an extension of drug law powers previously made constitutional by the massive expansion of government power granted the to government during FDR's threatening of the Court during his New Deal.

    Hey, certain famous sci-fi authors already knew about the life-extending properties of lower/microgravity for over 50 years. The real question is why it took real scientists so long to catch up

    That would have to read "filled with men and women" to sound like the US Congress.

    Yes, because in responding to PopeRatzo's specific comment on Al Gore I moved the goalposts for all flavors of AGW skeptics. That's right, I'm the most important man in the world. With a single /. comment I persuade movements.

    Out of curiosity, during the MWP which was recently found to have occurred in the Antarctic as well as Europe, why didn't the Greenland warming melt the Arctic and release the methane?

  8. Re:could be eco terrorism on Insects As Weapons · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Nothing, ABSOLUTELY NOTHING, that Al Gore proposed would have done anything to significantly change humanity's effect on the ecosystem. Assuming, of course, that he's correct about the magnitude of AGW's effects. Not to mention on a significant scale your tales of the Eisenhower administration mean nothing. Let me know when wheat starts growing in Greenland.

  9. Re:Duh - Who else would have done it? on US, Israel Behind Flame Malware · · Score: 2

    Bullshit, the original leak on the Stux/Flame bit was from a BOOK coming out before the elections, which the NYT then published an excerpt from along with additional details.

    Well no, he asserted that his gun ownership PREDATES the belief that the 2nd amendment guarantees a personal right to own and carry a gun. As that belief was quite common prior to WWII, he's full of shit.

    I'm sorry, you're over 230 years old now? The "collective rights" interpretation didn't gain steam until after the Miller decision against a dead defendant with no representation bunged things up.

    ... Define better please. The M-60 is heavy, complicated, bulky, and uses rifle ammo which is much more expensive than pistol ammo. So why would a criminal who didn't want to be shot dead by the police be carrying one around?

    WAS certainly possible, given Obama's election year "leaks" it's pretty much definitely the US and Israel.

    And in F451 they were censoring all complex thought. Although I'm not quite sure how they were able to make ultrafast cars when nobody had two neurons to knock together anymore as TV rotted their brains.

  17. Re:His most famous work on Ray Bradbury Has Died · · Score: 4, Insightful

    According to Bradbury it wasn't about censorship. According to everybody else and their mother it WAS about censorship. So clearly the takeaway is that Bradbury sucks at getting his point across.

    From the perspective of all the Japanese citizens that survived vs would have been killed in the course of invasion or even just a sustained firebombing campaign over all of Japan's major cities. the nukes were also a good idea.

    Except unless he wanted to open himself up to massive lawsuits, a legal defense fund cannot be used for anything other than paying your lawyer. Not to mention the existence of the fund was known to both prosecutors and the judge during the bail hearing.

    According to DeeDee, Tray's "girlfriend"(A lie pushed by Crump et al to drum up sympathy, merely a friend.), Tray made it to the back porch of the place he was staying and WENT BACK. Given that the available evidence suggests he straw-purchased a blunt using a couple of older kids at the 7-11 and none was found at the scene, one wonders what he dropped off.
