  1. Re:Uhhh on US Patent Office Fast Tracks Green Patents · · Score: 1

    Your drugs are cheaper because we subsidize them.

  2. Re:Half a game? on Pirates as a Marketplace · · Score: 1

    You don't need to phone home every time you play the DLC. Unless it installs incorrectly, however there's an easy fix which turns authorization off.

  3. Re:consequences on Super Strength Substance Approaching Human Trials · · Score: 3, Insightful

    They would have wiped out their food sources faster than said food sources could reproduce, so no, it's not an evolutionary advantage.

  4. Re:Like GM? on CRIA Faces $60 Billion Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    Are we talking about the same 'little people' who immediately sold off their shares to pay for their pensions?

  5. Re:It's ugly but it's the future of space explorat on Virgin Galactic Unveils SpaceShipTwo · · Score: 1

    Clamp a couple of rockets on it and crash it into death valley

  6. Re:You Just Don't Know When to Shut Up, Do You? on Woman Filming Sister's Birthday Party Gets Charged With Felony Movie Piracy · · Score: 1

    Disney's not stupid enough to go after a normal person singing Happy Birthday, mainly because the press received from such a venture would quite possibly cause more than enough backlash to reduce copyright length.

  7. Re:the real threat will be government intervention on The Noisy and Prolonged Death of Journalism · · Score: 1

    The problem is that the internet is truly a groundbreaking technology. It is the first system in which relatively unconnected people who live vast distances from each other can at any time of the day get together and compare ideas. Moreover, they can convey information and facts without having to distribute them through a third-party. This means when said third parties attempt to pawn a falsehood off on others *cough* Dan Rather ANG Bush letters *cough* it can immediately be discredited for the hackjob it is.

    The military is only equipped for those duties if they want to spend the manpower of trained soldiers to do so. Which leaves less manpower for every other job in the AOR that the military is supposed to carry out. The same for base security.

    Actually, for any serious diagnosis like cancer going to several different doctors if at all possible is a good idea.

  10. Re:the real threat will be government intervention on The Noisy and Prolonged Death of Journalism · · Score: 1

    The American government sucks, but it's still better than any other government out there.

    Sweden, where Russia would be if Finland wasn't in the way.

    But...But.. The corporations act all corporationy.

  13. Re:"Pol Pot?" Come the frak on. That's ridiculous. on Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout · · Score: 1

    Of course, both those mechanisms were much more direct in how they worked, and so much easier to prove right. Whereas certain effects from CO2 we should be seeing, we aren't.

  14. Re:Politics on Scientists Step Down After CRU Hack Fallout · · Score: 1

    CFLs do not stand on their own by any means. If there weren't such a push and incentive to get rich quick over the 'green' phenomenon the proper progression would have ignored CFLs and just waited for the LED tech to mature.

  15. Re:Code Name is Offensive on Intel Shows 48-Core x86 Processor · · Score: 1

    Look, just because Tina Fey had a picture of Vladivostok painted onto her windows is not a reason to insult the rest of Alaskans.

  16. Re:Yes... on Scientology Charged With Slavery, Human Trafficking · · Score: 1

    Did these sworn testimonies come about before or after the raid?

  17. Re:Yes... on Scientology Charged With Slavery, Human Trafficking · · Score: 4, Interesting

    AFAIK, there was never any sort of actual evidence of this. It was merely rumors without an established source. Of course, the rumors did give the .gov the excuse to attempt to invade the compound during which they killed off most of the Branch Davidians and then managed to lose the 6 separate locations worth of film that was running during the process so that they couldn't be released through FOIA requests.

  18. Re:Most publishers... on Nintendo Upset Over Nokia Game Emulation Video · · Score: 1

    No, they can make a copyright infringement claim over the video itself. It would be the same if a microsoft commercial had someone playing half-life without Valve's authorization.

  19. Re:Well, then... on Should You Be Paid For Being On Call? · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're in SWEDEN. Not the US. Attempting to compare the two systems, which have the same name but under the hood work off of entirely different precepts, is foolhardy.

  20. Re:Why not real guns? on Air Cannon Ties Pirates In Knots · · Score: 1

    Actually shit for brains, in a civilized world, nobody carries guns because there's no violence. Unfortunately for your pipe dream riddled ass, we live in a quite uncivilized world.

  21. Re:Why not real guns? on Air Cannon Ties Pirates In Knots · · Score: 1

    Who the fuck would put a locker ship off the coast of Somalia?

  22. Re:Why not real guns? on Air Cannon Ties Pirates In Knots · · Score: 1

    Well no, that's because Obammy wants a show trial to prove that he's not soft on terror. When in point of fact giving that fuck a civvie trial ultimately proves he is soft on terror, and given his nice little comments to the chinese about it has actually thrown some doubt on whether they'll even be convicted. Not much, but a shitload more than they had before he made those comments.

  23. Re:Golf balls? Ropes? Parachutes?! on Air Cannon Ties Pirates In Knots · · Score: 1

    Ahem, the use of deadly force to steal stuff, On the High Seas. Or if we had zeppelin shipping, In the Sky as well.

  24. Re:And what happens.. on Air Cannon Ties Pirates In Knots · · Score: 1

    Actually, it's more along the lines of, Person A invents the weapon, and the bad guys are gonna use it whether you do or not.

  25. Re:Reading comprehension. on New Aluminum-Ice Rocket Propellant Tested · · Score: 1

    Burning Iron Oxide+Reactive= Thermite. Gets you a nice flame at around the boiling point of the reactive and some nasty sunburn if that temperature point is hot enough.
