  1. Re:At least there's a vendor involved on Book Publishers Making the Same Mistakes as Record Labels? · · Score: 1

    No you can't. Last time I checked Eye of the Storm wasn't out on TPB.

    I dunno, Mr. Correia got my money directly, and now his book's even being published by a respectable publisher which doesn't screw over their authors.

    This only applies if the author is doing the one reading.

    Hey, calling someone a cigarette is a perfectly good insult. It implies that they are foul and cancerous to be around.

    No, it's about pheremones, body parts, and some neurons that went twisted earlier up the line.

    That explains why every time I go up into Wisconsin the roads get worse.

    Now try to find some statistics on live births. You'll find that a significant amount of earlier babies are born and then die, leading to the higher infant mortality rate.

  9. Re:Just More of the Same Change ... on Obama Admin Fights Missing White House Email Lawsuit · · Score: 1

    He was a quasi-good guy in an economic situation so different from the current one as to make it incomparable, and when the 'rightful king' stepped back in he quite quickly stopped dicking around. Not to mention that it wasn't a stock market bubble, it was a housing bubble, which caused everything else to crash. If the housing bubble hadn't been created in the first place, the market still probably would have been above 10,000 points, but since it did crash it wiped out all the major money dealers, which caused the disturbances since.

    Yes, creating the RAT board was certainly the best way to create honesty in government. Lets force our inspector generals to clear any controversial investigations with Congress and the RAT board. That's a good idea.

    Except for the minor matter that UN conventions aren't actually international law. For one, the US does not recognize it as law unless the senate were to ratify it, although given the people currently in power if TPB did try this route there would almost certainly be a party line vote on it.

    Guns work perfectly well against knives and 200 lb unarmed rapists as well, along with abusive spouses and stalkers.

    Has anyone been prosecuted under the DMCA for pointing yet? The only people who might have been ended up losing their case for an entirely different reason, mainly because they were idiots that tried to destroy evidence on the internet, which is NEVER a good idea.

    Shhh, you're upsetting his worldview.

    Um, you do realize that just because the 'people' won, doesn't mean that the good guys won. Populist bullshit like that is what got us into the current financial mess.

    And if we hadn't passed the 17th there would be a hell of a lot less laws on the books because the Senate and House would not have nearly the same aims, which means there would be quite a bit less government intervention.

    I'm still confused by this France as allies bullshit. It would seem to me that the best way to win a war would be to get the French to join the other side and attempt to do something. Then, when they massively fuck up because their command structure sucks the big one and always has, you have the perfect opening to end the war.

    Um, 2nd hand smoke is not HIGHLY carcinogenic. It requires massive doses from prolonged exposure in order to have any large effect on a person's chances of getting cancer.

    Guns are a fuck of a lot simpler than cars. The maximum amount of controls you'll find on a handgun are 7(Hammer, Trigger, Slide, Safety, Mag release, Laser sight/Scope, Flashlight switch) Of course, anyone actually carrying around a handgun with both laser sight and flashlight on it deserves to be bitchslapped, but that's another matter entirely. There require very, VERY little skill to handle properly, they just require you to pull your head out, something that the majority of humanity seems to be uncapable of doing.
