Disgraced Republican Candidate for Governor
on
HP To Cut 30,000 Jobs

· Score: 5, Funny
Anyone who watch Meg Whitman run for governor should realize by now that she is an abject retard.
I wouldn't put her in charge of a car wash, much less a multinational company.
I guess after that other Republican candidate, Carley Fiorina started driving HP into the ground they needed another mentally handicapped Republican to finish the job.
Too late... Blackberry is on my 'Do Not Buy' list

BlackBerry 10 Unveiled
·
· Score: 1
I bought a blackberry because I couldn't stand the idea of letting Apple control another one of my gadgets, much less my phone.
What I got is an obviously flawed piece of technology that had to be replaced twice and even when working correctly was underwhelming at best. Even iTunes is better than using a Blackberry.
While I bought a BB with high hopes which were crushed over the next two years, my trusty Android has served me well for over the past couple years. Unlike with my blackberry I wasn't impatiently waiting out my 2 year contract eager to get a new phone.
That said, I'm really looking forward to the Galaxy S3
But here you are, bending over backwards to defend a man that chased down and killed an unarmed teenager.
There was no knife. Just a gun toting vigilante who chased down an unarmed kid and killed him in cold blood while he screamed for help.
Not just that... you're defending the fact that he hasn't been charged with a crime, even though it's blatant that he chased down and killed an unarmed teenager.
I know what you people are up to. You don't carry guns around to threaten the government and preserve freedom regardless of your overheated rhetoric.
Your threatening us. The people just minding their own business walking home from the store that don't match your expectations are your real target.
Well, I don't plan on taking that lying down, dumb ass.
wandering around the neighborhood in the middle of the night in the rain wearing a "hoodie" instead of rain gear or carrying an umbrella is suspicious behavior.
1. A "hoodie" is rain gear. It's what I usually wear in the rain. 2. He was walking to the home where he was stayin, in the neighborhood.
Even if what you are describing was truly suspicious, instead of normal, it doesn't give armed vigilantes the right to pursue, confront, and kill this young man.
Treyvon was walking to his home in the neighborhood. Treyvon was killed closer to his home than to Mr Zimmerman's.
Clearly this gun toting vigilante should have stuck to calling the police when he sees blacks instead of commiting a capital offense.
If there is any justice, Mr Zimmerman will have plenty of time to reflect on this chain of events behind bars, with the other cold blooded killers.
Google has had an electronic NFC based wallet in the market for almost a year now.
I assume now that Apple has patented a technology that Google developed, they will extort Google to pay them for them for writing software hadn't even developed yet.
At least now that Steve Jobs is dead, Apple is willing to license patents to Google instead of just trying to sue them into extinction.
Somebody should congratulate Apple on becoming more evil than Microsoft.
When it's time for government to help the country out of a recession or help the poor get into the middle class we're "all out of money"
Every time sensible policies come up for a vote, Republicans all vote in unison, "We can't afford it".
Bridges - we can't afford it. Schools - we can't afford it. Compasion - we can't afford it.
Every single Republican. Almost every single time.
Yet, when their campaign contributors or pet causes come up, all the rhetoric they used to sabotage the recovery goes out the window, and government is the only answer.
Wait.. so now Republicans are the ones pushing for government built spacecraft while Obama and the Democrats fund corporate space travel.
I thought Republicans wanted government to be just big enough to fit in your bedroom. When did building spaceships get added to the list of things Republicans think government should do instead of private industry?
I've got a feeling government contractors like Lockheed martin have given generous "campaign contributions" to every Republican politician pushing for government spacecraft construction, with government sized profit margins for their chosen defense contractors.
1) A 12 mile radius exclusion zone (& larger radius which people will avoid) is huge in a small country like Japan. Do you really think that Japanese people have chosen to have among the highest population density in the world even though they have a bunch of unused land?
When we consider how common Fukushima's reactor design is, and how reluctant power companies are to invest in new reactors, despite proven safety problems with their design, a disaster like this seems almost inevitable.
2) American nuclear workers carry dosimeters and are closely monitored. Children operate in a very different environment. Children are more susceptible to problems than adults, since they are still developing. I doubt that a nuclear plant would allow a worker to bring their child with them as they are exposed to radiation.
3) The loss of so much electricity in the Tokyo area has caused shortages in many components crucial to Japanese and global commerce. There is nothing innovative about turning off the air conditioning in an unplanned 30% loss of power. There is something deeply honorable about it though.
Summary: Large scale electric generation will always have drawbacks, but it's foolish to ignore their potential for destruction. As far as I know, the only part of Japan that 6 months after the Tsunami is uninhabitable by humans surrounds Fukushima.
I don't oppose nuclear power, but when the risks are ignored or downplayed (like in your post and in TEPCO's policies) a nuclear disaster is inevitable. And when people notice that you've been downplaying the risks, their unlikely to trust the industry to build new reactors, even though they improve safety.
What a relief! I wonder when they'll start moving people back into Fukushima Prefecture. I can't wait to sink my teeth into some Fukushima vegetables and I know you feel the same way.
When do you suppose that 12 mile radius exclusion zone will be lifted? This decade or next?
Now that we've decided that the maximum radiation dosage for a Japanese child is the same as an American nuclear worker, it's only a matter of time before they play in the shadow of Fukushima again!
And let's not forget how much better Tokyo is with 30% less electricity.
One could even make the argument that voting Republican is the best move, because the sooner the country loses its remaining faith in government, the sooner we can start rebuilding it.
At least we agree that the best way to bring the country crashing down is to vote Republican.
In the time that Democrats were in power we finally started getting this country back on track. In the short time that Republicans have been back in power they've managed to totally screw things up again.
We went from funding projects that will help us recover economically, and make the country stronger, to debating shortsighted budget cuts with a GOP gun to our head.
That's what happens when progressives don't show up to vote.
Democrats may (as a group) be more conservative than european progressives, but that doesn't change that democrats are the progressive influence in American politics.
The republican party is fighting to cut funding for important government programs while cutting taxes on the rich.
The other party is seeking to raise taxes on the rich to fund important government programs. Programs like pell grants, infrastructure, education, and health care.
Only a total fool wouldn't be able to tell the difference as they parties play a dangerous game of brinkmanship with our national credit rating.
People who don't know the difference between our conservative and progressive parties are part of the reason that our political system is so broken. Politicians are playing us for fools, because we are too ignorant to tell the difference.
Wow.. great job not voting.
How are you going to stick it to the man next time? By sitting on the couch or compalining on the internet.
I'm sure they can't wait to appease the people that are too dumb to use their vote.

You say you have a right to defend yourself.

What's more interesting is how amazingly people are failing to connect the dots.
These racist gun toting morons passed laws to allow them to kill blacks based on a nebulous suspicion claimed by the killer.
They showed up to a political event carrying guns. That's an implied threat.
There are racist black people
Racially motivated terrorism has increased since Obama was inogurated, and now a cold blooded murder went unprosecuted.
It doesn't make sense until you see the picture of the victim, and look at the hateful gun toting morons that have taken over the Republican party.

The Ukraine is weak.
That's true, but Rep. Foghorn Leghorn thinks he is still fighting the civil war.
However clever Nintendo may be, they still haven't figured out that dual thumb-sticks are a necessity, not an option.
I'll leave the jihad for and against various corporations to those who don't have anything better to do.
It's the blatant hypocrisy that kills me.

"You know, a one-term president with some balls who actually got stuff done would have been, in the long run of the country, much better."
Why do you think Barack Obama passed health care reform even though he knew it would cost him the House of Representatives?
Barack Obama passed health reform after the last 7 Presidents failed to pass universal coverage.
He earned a second term with that, but it may cost him his second term.
Barack Obama is not perfect (as described here) but he has earned my vote.
And to the petitioners, try rephrasing the accusation as, "Please comment on Chris Dodd's controversial new career peddling influence."
The best thing about European newspaper stands is that they often display magazines which feature topless women on the cover.
It's really nice to be able to look to your right as you walk down the street and see multiple nice pairs of tits on display like tennis shoes.
Of course that's got nothing on the red light district in Amsterdam, but I can see I'm getting off topic...
I've never wanted to use Twitter.
Looks like you've gotten the year off to a good start by posting a hilariously angry rant about how New Years occurred in your time zone first.
It's still 7:45 PM here in Texas, and I hope this is the last dumb thing I read this year.

That's alot more than can be said about our federal tax laws which are more like a record of bribery and scams than a rational tax code.
Google dodges taxes using techniques known as the "Double Irish" and the "Dutch Sandwich" to reduce its tax rate to 2.4 percent.
