  1. Re:People who always say "both candidates are evil on How Can Nerds Make a Difference In November? · · Score: 1

    With Obama in the current race and his special little podium that he used for his speech, along with his plans for mandatory youth 'volunteering' the fact that you're comparing Bush to Mussolini and Franco is fucking hilarious.

    Personally I found Gore to be a monotone money-grubbing holier-than-thou little bitch. I'm pretty sure his involvement in the carbon credit Ponzi scheme and the myriad dishonesty in An Inconviniet Truth bear me out on that.

    Given that I have 4 definitions for nerd and 3 for geek, I think your estimate is a bit low, even accounting for overlap.

    The issue is that he has a plan to force anybody to 'volunteer' their time at all. That it is juveniles is even worse. It could be a single hour and yet it would be a perfectly good reason to vote for the opposition.

    Continue to fail in basic economics. Convert others to a Rousseauian view on life. Bury whatever information about Ayers that has the Obama Campaign pissing its pants. Delete everything on Rezko accessible from the web. DDOS one McCain supporting website, then DDOS multiple Obama sites to make it seem like retaliation. Force your children to work more than 50 hours a year 'volunteering' for govt. run programs to set an example. That's a good enough start I would think.

    The NSA already hacked WikiLeaks and is perusing the information as we speak. Why would they pay for it?

    Given the Tribune's coverage of the Heller case, it's certainly clear they are paid to BIAS their stories in a certain way. Ironically, the local FNCs are almost certainly less biased than their counterparts. All that national talk show bullshit really doesn't count for any of the when it comes to the bias of the news IMO.

    Unfortunately, that analogy doesn't work. Now if you had seen the waiter spitting in someone's soup, then the analogy would come into line with reality.

  11. Re:developing technology for a nuclear weapons prg on Iran Announces Manned Space Mission Plans · · Score: 1

    Certain Russian nukes are man portable. In the sense that a single person can carry them. However, Iran doesn't have anywhere near the tech to miniaturize a nuke to that degree, so unless the russians are giving away their suitcase nukes, I doubt the iranians will have one anytime soon.

    Actually, assuming no outside implements, it takes two to tangle as well, unless the one person is a damned good contortionist.

    If guns kept people safer we'd be allowed to carry them on commercial flights.

    It should be noted that this only applies in a completely rational universe. Instead we get the universe that supplied us with the TSA.

  17. Re:meh... on Photoshop Allows Us To Alter Our Memories · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The newspapers are collapsing as much from their own moral ineptitude as anything else. Before the widespread adoption of the internet, there was no real way to get major news other than through newspapers or off the tube. The percolation of information through the internet takes the filters off that are present in the aforementioned mediums. Why would people read a newspaper when it can easily be demonstrated that they are attempting to push their own agenda upon their readers instead of to convey the news as pertains to reality.

    It should be noted that they never got around to doing Doom again. Instead they gave us a really crappy horror flick. Hell, if they really wanted to make money off the Doom 3 engine, they'd release a rebuild of D/D2 for 10-15 bucks. Those things would sell like hotcakes.
