  1. Re:Cut to the chase on Breaking the Codes In Oslo Terrorist's Manifesto · · Score: 2

    Well, except for all those calling for more gun control, even though given how methodical this ratfucker was all the gun laws in the world wouldn't have changed the outcome. Although to be fair from what I've found on the matter more calls for increased gun control seem to be coming from Sweden than Norway, which is rather amusing.

    The thing people seem to forget whenever something scary happens is that some "bad guys" aren't stupid. .

    I propose a new definition of race. Those with Neanderthal DNA and those without. Those with the Neanderthal DNA are of course superior, as evidenced by the course of history.

    I'm confused as to how the TEA party is turning the US into a bunch of islamic warlord(a type of government) controlled villages. Enlighten me.

    Um, WWII bitchslapped them? Right now there IS no other currency that would work as a reference currency. The Euro is in dire shit, and with the Yuan pegged to the dollar like a pinned butterfly it can't be used. That leaves the Yen, and the Japanese are leveraged out their ass worse than us.

    If it weren't for labor's precious FDR fucking with SCOTUS for his precious reforms the vast majority of laws causing non-violent drug incarceration would not be constitutional.

    You would set the machines to randomly reboot the VM within a 12 hour period. The infection rate would never get large enough to wipe out a backbone but would tie up a significant mount of malware processing power.

  9. Re:Only solution left on Ruling Upholds Gene Patent In Cancer Test · · Score: 1

    Sooo, the answer to fix the product of a crap system of regulations(the patent office), is to pass more crap regulations? That's just fucking sad. Why not redesign the progenitor of the problem?

    GIGO, computer models assumed that mortgage derivatives would never crash and just make money.

  11. Re:McCain should look in the mirror. on McCain Decries "Hobbits," Accused of Ringbearing · · Score: 1

    And you remember incorrectly. It started to spark at the state level in New York and Seattle, and less than a moth later turned into a national firestorm when Rick Santelli bitchslapped the utter stupidity of the mortgage bill on CNBC. The stupidity of which, I might add, has merely postponed the full crash of the real estate market, not stopped it, and has therefore prevented any sort of recovery from taking place as everyone waits for the full realization of value to occur.

    It would only have remained balanced if the dot com bubble(and associated governmental revenues) had stayed stable. In his 2nd to last year in office it had already started to pop.

    Whereas if Sony is really smart they'll wait until the final specs are published and then out compete on the processor and gpu by 20% and double the memory.

    The cheapest BD player was, at the time of PS3 release, over $800 USD. And that was for an utterly craptastic bare bones model. For anything approaching PS3 capabilities you needed to put down over a thousand dollars.

    The only weapons moved by Fast and Furious were legit in the US for civvie use. There are plenty of heavy weapons in the hands of the cartels, but all of these were sold to the Mexican government or private entities either by or with the express permission of the US government. Of course, Mexicao is such a corrupt shithole that extremely large numbers of these weapons get used by the cartels.

  21. Re:Not yet a "terror" attack on Terror Attack On Norwegian Government · · Score: 1

    Timothy McVeigh's attack, as horrific as it was, was a direct response for the events at Ruby Ridge and Waco where the government was directly responsible for the deaths of numerous innocents and then tried to cover it up. Since I am unaware of the Norwegian government treeing a bunch of right-wing Norwegian whackjobs in their compound and than dropping incendiary grenades directly on top of their fuel stockpile, resulting in the murder of numerous women and children, whoever did this was manifestly not another Timothy McVeigh.

  22. Re:Take him to the airport on Terror Attack On Norwegian Government · · Score: 1

    Bullshit, what they want to do is conquer the world. We could be the utmost tyrannical government ever and they would still attempt to force us into subjugation because we are not them and their entire belief system requires them to impose said subjugation through any possible means. I'd say it was like Christianity, except even at it's height Christianity was never as rabidly and violently expansionist as Islam. The closest religious violence I can think of would have been the Aztecs.

    You mean the US MI complex that keeps scandi citizens safe at night in their bed since they currently have all the military might of a small poodle(I kid, their soldiers aren't that bad, but their current militaries are so small as to be useless without US assistance in the event of an invasion with the possible exception of Finland, cause the Finns are fucking hardcore) and would be defenseless against foreign(russian) aggression. The idea that things would all be just spiffy if the american military establishment disappeared on the international stage is flipping laughable.
