  2. OWS is fake on New Documents Detail FBI, Bank Crack Down On Occupy Wall Street · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    look who the big contributors to OWS are, it's bullshit. it has another purpose than what it says on the tin. It did, however, let the government and those with government in their pockets know who troublemakers are....

    the unemployed lazy slobs I saw probably didn't

    let me let you in on a little secret. our government is in the pockets of wealthy elite, and wall street is a part of that (though 2nd tier to the real power holders). but the OWS movement is also backed by those kind of people, it's just convenient thing for their particular agenda. in short, the whole thing is bullshit.

    Actually, half the things you named were done by legal means. MLK Jr. and the riots didn't give anyone civil rights, Republicans did that

    Freedom of speech does not mean you get to squat in the town's park after hours and poop all over the place. As a taxpayer I find that kind of behavior on the part of non-taxpayers to be offensive.

    Do some research, there is high correlation between flourescent light exposure and many diseases by credible scientists

  8. these are not the bulbs you are looking for on Cree Introduces 200 Lumen/Watt Production Power LEDs · · Score: 1

    these are suitable for directional applications only, not a replacement for the common light bulb. just like every other LED light to date, just not quite right

    quit thinking so hard, it's simple. of 99.9% of people who have used "office product", it will be Microsoft Office

    besides which more satellites to do the same job already are scheduled for launch, that will not change with 8% budget cut. I'm for doubling or tripling NASA's budget at least, but this kind of sensationalist crap doesn't help the cause.

    Neil Tyson earned his degrees and made accomplishments long before becoming a facebook poster. his best work behind him, brain power declining, winding down in late middle age, he now posts on facebook.

    . Who gives billions in aid to the world? Capitalist countries. Meanwhile, the communist and extreme socialist governments are comprised of the most selfish bastards on the planet.

  13. Re:My few thoughts... on Want a Job At Google? Better Know Microsoft Office! · · Score: 1

    wrong, if they only specify one office product that is NOT a sign of seeking well rounded person. Even less that it's a Microsoft one, any moron off the streets can lay claim to using it.

  14. Re:can we mod summary as on Want a Job At Google? Better Know Microsoft Office! · · Score: 1, Interesting

    not at all, it typifies the downward spiral in the Google hiring process as quality of management declines. It's a danger sign for an internet tech company to require a skill in any specific software product rather than interpersonal skills, reasoning, etc.

    that is not why anyone got killed. the problem was between the left ear and the right ear of religious whackjob killers. they will kill again for no reason

  18. Hahaha - Unity even fails mobile on Ubuntu Focusing on Tablets and the Cloud in 2013 · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Clearly Unity is unsuitable for the desktop, so many of us dumped it. We assumed it was designed with myopic focus on mobile, and made jokes about it being for a one meter tablet to be worked with knees and elbows. But now mobile users are saying it is poorly designed for that space also. Canonical needs to toss their UI rubbish in the can, leave that to those who are gifted at it.

    of the thousands of climate models generated, most are discarded and a few chosen that conform to what the weather has been doing recently. The draft IPCC climate report for 2013 has been released and they are retracting much of their alarmist nonsense because reality has disappointed, and even their cherry-picked models haven't panned out

    the IPCC is about as reliable a source as FOX news. Both are rubbish and you would do well to avoid using either of them as sources as they are agenda driven political organs.

    no, I'm not being funny. go look at the motherboards on egghead.com or fryes. they have serial port - the header pins will be there and can be hooked to cable going outside the chassis even if most of the time that isn't done.
