  1. Re:Rip-off on British Aircraft Carrier For Sale On Auction Site · · Score: 2

    It could make an awesome skate park and general party place.

    They're only after a couple of million, too. I bet Tony Hawk and Bam Margera could get together and buy it for filming Jackass 4...

  2. Re:Out of curiousity... on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    For Interpol to get involved at all you have to commit crimes in more than one member country.

    The job of Interpol is to coordinate investigations which need the involvement of police forces from more than one country. If you've only committed a crime in one country there's nothing to coordinate and Interpol shouldn't be involved at all (in fact it's against their constitution to get involved...!)

    Interpol is not an extradition force.

  3. Re:Legit? on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Plus: For Interpol to get involved you're supposed to commit crimes in various different countries. Interpol is there to coordinate investigations between the various police forces.

    In fact their constitution forbids them from getting involved unless several countries are involved to how this got elevated to Interpol level is a clear sign of corruption at high levels (if only he could get hold of *those* documents...)

  4. "Espionage"? on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    Did he personally break into US government buildings at 2am to steal these...?

    If anybody's guilty of espionage it's whoever got hold of the documents and sent them to Wikileaks. This whole thing is just a case of pissed off governments sitting down with their law books open and saying "what can we get him for?"

  5. Yeah, but ... *INTERPOL* ??? on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    "Interpol's constitution forbids its involvement in crimes that do not overlap several member countries..."

    How the hell did "maybe had rough sex in Sweden" get elevated to the Interpol level?

  6. Re:Hope It Helps End the Fighting on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Not after it's been through accounting...

    "price" is a very ethereal thing in defense contracts.

    You may now retort with "but they didn't pay $600 for a hammer!!" and I'll retort "whoosh!" in advance (to save time).

  7. Re:Hope It Helps End the Fighting on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    This. Isn't it a very bad idea to be shooting at things you can't see? Especially when the enemy are extremists fighting amongst civilians....?

  8. How much are the bullets? on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 2, Funny

    Is it like the inkjet scam? $35,000 for the rifle then $200 for each bullet...?

  9. Re:Hope It Helps End the Fighting on US Army Unveils 'Revolutionary' $35,000 Rifle · · Score: 1

    Well....yes, but the military pays $600 for a hammer.

  10. Re:16,800 W? - WTF?! on First Electric Cars Have Power Industry Worried · · Score: 1

    A mains socket...? 16Kw isn't really a lot, look up the power consumption of electric showers and room heaters sometime.

  11. Re:Alarmist on First Electric Cars Have Power Industry Worried · · Score: 1

    Isn't there any way the home chargers could trickle-charge an ultracapacitor 24/7 then charge the car from that when needed (maybe even recharge as fast as the battery can take it)

    Same thing for the A/C ... an ultracapacitor could grab a load of cheaper night-time electricity for use during the day.

  12. 32kW? on First Electric Cars Have Power Industry Worried · · Score: 1

    I'm not sure how many households will have two Tesla Roadsters charging at the same time...

    If you want to seize my mother-in-law's domain that's fine by me.

  16. Maybe they were just being smart on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    They didn't tell the terrorists they were going to shut them down so the terrorists didn't have time to take advantage of the lax security...tada!

  17. Re:Get used to the Police State... on A Peek At the National Opt-Out Day Numbers · · Score: 1

    Yep, this is the real reason. Most people will just bend over whenever the government tells them to.

    What if they move around and mix up the bits?

    Also "drum kit"... :-)

  20. Re:Step after that on Next Step For US Body Scanners Could Be Trains, Metro Systems · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Terrorists can easily target the areas where people are queuing to be scanned. I demand that everybody be scanned and frisked before entering the scanning area. It's the only way to safeguard the American public.

    OTOH ... maybe she should be paying for the car that she's driving around (you don't really think she stopped using it, do you?).

    I'm sure they didn't do this because the payment was a couple of days overdue.

  23. Re:Wrong problem on Making Airport Scanners Less Objectionable · · Score: 1

    There's also this thing called the fourth amendment. Something about having the right not to be searched without probable cause.

    Put it this way: I bet you can think of at least one person you'd like to get in the scanner for a few minutes....
