    But I want to plant my fields, feed my chickens and kill a few mobsters really really bad!!

  2. Computer unable to defeat Nuke on US Unable To Win a Cyber War · · Score: 4, Funny

    The headline should really read: "Overseas hacker's computers unable to defeat incoming U.S. nukes."

    That would be much more accurate, if we are going to talk about WAR.

    Yeah, so the cost of upgrades required by the government come out of their asses right? If you think you are not going to be the one paying for the FCC-mandated upgrades, you are living in la-la land. Who do you think is going to pay for it, the isp? No, the customer will.

  5. What's next? on FCC Proposes 100Mbps Minimum Home Broadband Speed · · Score: 1

    Besides FCC not having authority to do this, why is this the government's job? What's next, mandating home delivery of groceries? This is government run amok.

    Awesome...wait but it's Microsoft...so it's not awesome! It's crap!! :)

    Really, will critics of MS ever recognize anything good that comes out of that company?

    This means that Obama's speeches would really encourage pests to grow and have healthy development?

  8. Re:Fascinating on Virus-Detecting "Lab On a Chip" Developed At BYU · · Score: 1

    What is more amazing is that the technology was in fact invented at a Mormon school, and as everyone knows, Battlestar Galactica is the obligatory connection.

    So this story is really not about virus detection, but over whether or not Star Trek is really stealing technology from Battlestar Galactica!!

  9. Game changer? on Pen Still Mightier Than the Laptop For Notetaking? · · Score: 0, Troll

    The teaser text is nonsensical; how would the iPad be a "game changer" since it doesn't support a stylus due to its capacitive screen? What do you think people will do, write cursive with their index finger? Or middle finger would be more appropriate?

  10. Re:Religious Nutjobs on US Grants Home Schooling German Family Political Asylum · · Score: 1

    So perhaps we should remove children from their "religious" homes soon after birth, educate them as the majority sees fit, then return them to the parents?

    Does that meet your approval?

    Dude, WTF? So now your dumbass can think that you can make better or superior judgment calls regarding a parent's choice to raise and educate children? What does their religion have to do with anything?

    That's for a jury of your peers to decide, and the purpose of the legal system to make these decisions. What amount of damages could redress in any other civil case related to life and death? GM makes faulty breaks and causes people to get in accidents and die, tobacco companies kill their customers with their product, etc. The courts are filled with liability cases where a product caused serious injury or death. I don't see how this is any different.

    So when you run out of substance, you poke fun and walk away? That's what I thought - people love to bitch about how the free market screws them...when I give them a way to deal with the problems, they still bitch that's too hard. So we have an entire nation of bitches who can't wait to wear their gimp suits on election day.

  19. Re:Riddle me this on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    Why is what? I am not getting your question. There is no central regulation in the legal system...there is the law, and that's it. The law allows that if a company's product causes damages to an individual, you can sue the manufacturer.

  20. Re:Riddle me this on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 1

    Pickup the revised code in your state and read it. That's what I did. You don't need an expensive lawyer to sue and win against a company like Monstanto, not to mention that a judge will almost always nudge you and guide you along the way in a pro se case. What costs you a few hours of your time a week can cost Monstanto hundreds of thousands of dollars in attorney fees.

  21. Re:Riddle me this on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Yeah, I was out sick during that meeting where Monstanto's board of directors issued the "we need to kill all our customers" directive.

    This thing called "the legal system," where someone could sue someone else for damages, trespassing, etc. is amazing from what I hear. People from everywhere can come in, fill out paperwork and ask for these things called "damages," but hell..what do I know? I am just a free market enthusiast.

  22. Re:Why wasn't Monsanto required to reveal this inf on Organ Damage In Rats From Monsanto GMO Corn · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They do it through lawsuits. They are a very litigious company as they sue their own customers for failing to disclose harvest data and seed information. Since they patended certain varieties of soybeans and corn, you cannot keep seed from one year to the next. Also, a neighboring farmer who has his own non-Monstanto crops contaminated by Monstanto crops are also being sued and asked to prove themselves innocent.

    It's a travesty. I am not opposed to GM foods by any means, but this company's approach to solving problems with their products is completely unreasonable. A class-action suit seems to be the only answer.

    WTF? So your dumbass logic is that Walmart wants to kill their customers and we need you, the courageous regulator to stop the murderous Walmart from going through with their evil plans!

    1. The crap is made in Communist China, in a government factory.
    2. GOVERNMENT agents failed to inspect it when it entered the country.
    3. A private enterprise (Associated Press) discovered the dangerous toys...without government telling them how to do it.

    It seems to me that in every instance Government failed and private enteprise, on its own, succeeded.
