  1. Re:No. on Verizon Employees Fired For Snooping Obama's Record · · Score: 1

    7 is not true, he hasn't fucked up anything on the national scale yet. He's fucked up plenty on the state scale though.

    Well damn, you just excluded over 50% of the human race. Gratz.

  3. Re:I'd care more on US Officials Flunk Test On Civic Knowledge · · Score: 1

    Question 9 is wrong as well. Congress ratifies treaties, it doesn't make them. The president and state department 'make' them.

    Dozens? Specifically on the national level?

  5. Re:It's no more appropriate than the local library on After Columbine, Eric Holder Advocated Internet "Restrictions" · · Score: 1

    BULLSHIT. Holder's position on internet regulation is the exact fucking same with the same fucking language as his and Obama's position on gun control. See Holder's Heller amicus brief and pretty much every single fucking statement of Obama's on guns outside of the ones where he knew being watched on the presidential campaign trail. Only because a bunch of assholes who were either too fucking lazy to properly research their candidate or agreed with his positions on all this shit voted for him are we now dealing with it. The next four years with Obama's authoritarian socialist bent are gonna be ugly indeed. What the fuck did you people expect when you elected an Illinois Machine politician?

    Positive rights aren't. Which is to say, you have no right TO anything. Rights exist to keep the GOVERNMENT from doing things. Laws exist to keep PEOPLE from doing things. Rights trump laws. Must in order to keep a free society.

    Ahem, while religious fanatics still hold the record for total number of people killed, the largest individual slaughters were done by 'enlightened' communist regimes, which were notably all atheist.

  8. Re:So what was he *really* standing in front of? on AP Suspends DoD Over Altered US Army Photo · · Score: 1

    Well, the AP draws the line per source. If the source is the US .gov, anything they find out about is immediately struck with a nice lengthy article. If it can be used to discredit the US .gov, it stays until a dull roar collects about the photoshop.

    Given that many Americans are better shots than pretty much the rest of the world except for certain military units, this isn't a surprise.

  11. Re:What about radiation shielding? on Researchers Getting the Lead Out of Electronics · · Score: 1

    Well, yeah, but on a space station where it's cheap(relatively speaking) to get more fuel it's not that big of a deal.

  12. 15 minutes? on Should You Get Paid While Your Computer Boots? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    How the hell does it take anyone 15 minutes to boot up their computer. Even at it's most malware choked, my girlfriend's took less than 10 to get to desktop.

  13. Re:Wow! on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    No, an AM bomb would be much more efficient than a thermonuclear device, which is currently the most efficient energy generation system available.

  14. Re:Holy Mackerel! on Anti-Matter Created By Laser At Livermore · · Score: 1

    Bzzt, wrong. Converting M into AM takes a certain amount of energy which may or may not be(probably is) less than the energy released by a M/AM annihilation event.

    It was regulation of the lending market in the first place that led to the housing bubble(which would have occurred anyway even without the securitization of loans) and multi-trillion dollar debt. If the government hadn't made not lending money to people for houses that couldn't pay it back legally risky in the form of litigation on the denied party the problem never would have existed.

    Only for the PS3. MS has deliberately crippled such functionality for the 360.

  17. Re:Read Atlas Shrugged on "Challenge Room" DLC Doesn't Follow BioShock's Strengths · · Score: 2, Funny

    No it wasn't. There were more plotholes in that game than Star Wars. The most glaringly obvious being that all forms of economies require expansion in their very nature because without expansion even the most heavily regulated economies become nothing more than a slow multi-generational death. Therefore, anybody creating a 'capitalist paradise' would account for such phenomenon and place his paradise accordingly. Which means that first things first, Bioshock would have been set in space.

    While what he proposes is folly if they intercept a single patch, the more patches they intercept the more feasible it becomes. So if they can intercept 100 patches, it becomes much easier to crack individual keys for that firmware update.

    C) The guys in the Army were told to do a study on the possible uses of Twitter and reported what is could genuinely be used for. Unless you're saying that the intel report is somehow wrong?

    Actually, this is illegal in the US.Which is the point of the article.

    It's in the first damned paragraph.

    "State and local officials are investigating if state and law-enforcement computer systems were illegally accessed when they were tapped for personal information about "Joe the Plumber."

    Punishment would work perfectly well if the punishment were applied to the proper people. When everyone is subject to the punishment however, it loses effectiveness. It's just the nature of the game that giving one time incentives out is much easier than punishing the proper people.
