  1. Re:But OWS was co-opted from day one on US Copyright Czar Cozied Up To Content Industry · · Score: 1

    If that's what we've been doing why has the amount of laws only increased. There's a serious fucking problem when not ONE person in the government, NOT ONE, can tell you how many federal laws are on the books. Not even what they're all about, just the fucking number.

  2. Re:Sooooo on US Copyright Czar Cozied Up To Content Industry · · Score: 1

    Well, except for wasting 3 times as much money and being directly responsible, all by his lonesome with no input from Congress, for the deaths of 3 Americans and 200 Mexicans and committing what was in fact an act of war against Mexico.

    Solyndra, Fast and Furious.

    Because of course the banking crisis about to hit Europe shows that socialist policies totally work right?

  5. Re:Co-op is awesome on Mass Effect 3 To Include Co-op Multiplayer · · Score: 1

    Was it an IMI Uzi, an IMI Micro-uzi, or a Mac-10? Cause with the latter two it is in fact possible to completely miss from 10 feet away.

  6. Re:I would ask them why only 3 days on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 1

    Pre-orders aren't limited. Collectors Editions are, but not pre-orders. The reason for the CE being limited is because they are only commissioning so many of the Gentle Giant statues.

    Which as a game was fine. The reused areas were fucking irritating, and it should not have been a Dragon Age game, but it was a perfectly good game ignoring those two facets.

  8. Re:I would ask them why only 3 days on Ask Slashdot: What To Do In SW:TOR For Just 3 Days? · · Score: 1

    Aaand you're wrong. Beta participation is decidedly not based upon preorder.

    All of which, except for the timed password AFAIK, are publicly available info on the SWTOR forums themselves.

  10. Re:Bullshit on NY Senators Want To Make Free Speech A Privilege · · Score: 1

    No, they're claiming that their law falls under previous exceptions to the1st amendment when it decidedly does not.

  11. CERN on 2011 Nobel Prize In Physics · · Score: 1

    Out of curiosity, assuming that CERN in fact broke the light speed barrier, how does that effect things like the dark energy equations, if it effects them at all?

  12. Re:Lets see if I understand this. on Theater Professor's Firefly Poster Declared Threatening · · Score: 1

    Unconstitutional restrictions. Being a public university means that content based restrictions unless containing a direct threat or obscenity are unconstitutional.

  13. Re:This is one right way to do space. on SpaceX Reveals Plans For Full Launch System Re-usability · · Score: 1

    Unless the .gov regulates him out of existence.

  14. Re:Thermite? on Ask Slashdot: Best Way To Destroy Hard Drives? · · Score: 1

    This, if you want to destroy something you can move or you don't mind ruining the surroundings of, thermite is the only answer.

  15. Re:So now we're down to catching the nutcases on Man Charged in Model Airplane Plot To Bomb Pentagon · · Score: 1

    Well, with both Beverly Purdue(NC governor) and Peter Orszag(Former Obama White House employee) calling for suspension of elections so that they can "get things done", I'm gonna go out on a limb and say that the Dems are running full tilt towards that goal.

  16. Re:Catching nutcases was always the goal on Man Charged in Model Airplane Plot To Bomb Pentagon · · Score: 1

    The people who made that decision were faced with cold blooded mass murder in any case since last time I checked they wouldn't have been present during a mainland invasion.

  17. Re:What other products on Healthcare Law Appealed To Supreme Court · · Score: 3, Informative

    All of which use separate insurance pools for each state.

  18. Re:Head Start? on Australian Aboriginal DNA Suggests 70,000-Year History · · Score: 1

    That we know of. The fact of the matter is that without some sort of historical tradition, we have no damned clue whether they regularly killed each other or not.

  19. Re:Lineage on Australian Aboriginal DNA Suggests 70,000-Year History · · Score: 1

    In order to provide decent access to medical care you must either translate everything into abo, which is impossible, or force them to learn english, which comes with a predisposition in the way you think. So no, you can't.

  20. Re:It depends on what you mean on Australian Aboriginal DNA Suggests 70,000-Year History · · Score: 1

    Given human nature the de facto line will be the one where we can't mate with other humanoids.

    Neanderthals were a separate branch, not a preceding one.

    Sooo, we'd need a couple of WWII tanks at the very least then.

  23. Re:government idiots on EPA Bans CFC-Based Asthma Inhalers · · Score: 4, Interesting

    The amount of CFCs pumped into the atmosphere by asthma inhalers is negligible at best. Even if every person on the planet used one, which they don't.

  24. Re:Einstein replied "Check your measurements, son" on CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    Basically, the math says things can't happen that way. If Cern is right, then the math is wrong and all these though experiments predicated upon faulty math are irrelevant.

  25. Re:Einstein replied "Check your measurements, son" on CERN Experiment Indicates Faster-Than-Light Neutrinos · · Score: 1

    The guys at Fermi have to be banging their heads against the wall for not trying to test that out further.
