    I'll bet they've got the terrorist video from Jay & Silent Bob Strike Back in there somewhere...

    Jay: I am the master of the C.L.I.T.! Remember this fucking face, whenever you see C.L.I.T. you'll see this fucking face. I make that shit WORK! It does whatever the fuck I tell it to. No one rules the C.L.I.T like me. Not this little fuck, none of you little fucks out there. I AM THE C.L.I.T. COMMANDER! Remember that, commander of all C.L.I.T.s! When it comes down to business, this is what I do. I pinch it like this. Ooooh you little fuck. Then I rub my nose with it...

  4. Re:WIKI is an acronym for "What I Know Is" on CIA Details Its Wikipedia-Like Tools For Analysts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    My company uses Confluence as an internal wiki for project and technical documentation. It's a piece of cake to create groups and assign fine-tuned privileges with regards to viewing, editing, commenting and destroying. I agree that an organisation with actual classified data is going to make damn sure the system they use can accommodate multiple clearance levels and 'need-to-know' groups.

    I know you're being funny, but I kind of like the idea of a parsable legal coding language. Employ a decent supercomputer to recompile the lot every time something gets changed and notify us of contradictions, divide-by-zero errors and broken dependencies.

    I thought you were joking! For anyone else who thought the same thing:

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tycho_Brahe#Tycho.27s_elk_and_dwarf

    ...his mentor the Landgraf Wilhelm of Hesse-Kassel asked whether there was an animal faster than a deer. Tycho replied, writing that there were none, but he could send his tame elk. When Wilhelm replied he would accept one in exchange for a horse, Tycho replied with the sad news that the elk had just died on a visit to entertain a nobleman at Landskrona. Apparently during dinner the elk had drunk a lot of beer, fallen down the stairs, and died.
  8. Re:What about the 2nd? on How Tech-Savvy Will the Next President Be? · · Score: 1

    Is it worth considering that arms were drastically less advanced at the time the Bill was written?

    Compare 18th century firearms to, for example, an AA-12 shotgun (admittedly not legally available to civilians) which is automatic, almost recoilless and can take 32-round magazines of fin-stabilised mini-grenade rounds. That's a huge difference in the destructive power that a single person can wield as they see fit.

    I've neither handled, nor witnessed the use of, a functional firearm in my life, and don't consider myself qualified to opine one way or the other, just throwing this out there to see if anyone more informed or closer to the issue wants to weigh in.

    A few days ago, I saw someone use the phrase "begs for the question," which nicely sidesteps the logical fallacy definition whilst keeping the desired meaning of the oft-misused "begs the question."

    Panels on the roof/hood for trickle-charging, mains adaptors for specially equipped parking spots, regenerative braking, quick-charge stations that will become even quicker if/when ultracapacitors become a viable option, there are plenty of options to keep you rolling. The infrastructure is pretty much there already, it's just a case of building demand - soon as there are enough of these on the road, an entire new industry is going to centred around keeping them there.
