    "But not a threat to the American way of life or culture (those have come solely in the government's response" Look dork, one suicide bomber at your local mall, and when is the next time your wife and kids go to the mall? And the entire west lays down their arms, and fanatical muslims do what, stop all of a sudden? Your world view will kill us at some point.

    Let's get this straight.
    Thermate was used in a controlled demolition of the World Trade Center towers?

    So the bombs were set at a specific floor and the inexperienced pilots were told to hit the precise floors where the thermate was set, all going 500+ mph? You do know the second plane was actually even lucky to hit the damn building as it was moving so fast and changing direction?

    Or was thermate set everywhere, and then the unused was just "cleaned up" from the site after the collapses?

    Holy God man, get a life.

  10. criminal on InkJet Printers Lying, Or Just Wrong? · · Score: -1

    My Epson CX6400 all in one will totally shut down if it SAYS one of the ink cartridges is empty. So, even if all I want to do is SCAN something, not using any printing capability, it still wont operate. WTF? Also, the PCB on the cartridge is a memory chip only, there is absolutely no provision for actually measuring any ink. It stores data on page count, clean cycles, etc. and then ESTIMATES where the hell it thinks the ink level really is. If if thinks it is empty, it programs the chip and VOILA, even if that cartridge is totally full, it is forever labeled empty. Thanks Epson, I will never purchase an Epson product again......ever.

  11. This is not about safety at all. on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: -1

    It is about revenues. They are not police, but tax collectors. Around any modern city at rush hour it is impossible to maintain a safe distance without someone cutting you off. It is also about Laser Technology greasing the right palms for some fat contracts, like the red light cams. All BS.

  16. any of you basement dwellers have kids?? on Students Banned from Blogging · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Sheesh, blow a simple issue up to 1st Amendment status? Please. Try this. Your 15 year old daughter has a myspace account. She has posted pics of herself, info on where you live, where she attends school, her first and last name, and where they are all meeting at the movie on saturday. Ask me now I know. Yes, 99% of all I have seen on myspace is harmless, but there does seem to be a lot of pimpin your look going on. I am sure all you 1st Amendment sockbois will be getting all your daughters myspace accounts immdiately. Most all private schools have codes of conduct that are in force 24/7. You read and sign the student manual and pay good money to go there. Your choice. Save the rhetoric for Bush and the Patriot Act.

    Why would you have an expectation of privacy? Hell, cant I get the records with a FOIA request? And for Christ's sake, librarians are not freaking policy makers. They run the library. Their OPINION on privacy matters carries no more weight then that of their patrons. They have bosses and have to follow the rules just like everyone else. I'd fire a crapload of them.

  25. Vet with a study.. on Closed Source -> Charges Dismissed? · · Score: 0

    Machines like breathalizers should be vetted in a public study. We could test them on state, local, and federal govt employees, teachers, etc.
    This could be cross checked with blood tests and urine tests. When we all felt good that the machines were working ok on these folk, then we could use them on the populace.

    Also, is anyone aware of the "burp" procedure? Supposedly they cannot administer a breathalizer test with 15 minutes of your burping since it brings fresh stomach contents back up into your mouth. Since I can burp at will, this could take awhile.....
