  1. Re:Privacy on Researchers ID Skype, BitTorrent Users · · Score: 1

    "Personal information gathered without an investigators license is against the law."

    Only in certain states. There is no Federal ruling on this issue that I am aware of.

    "Do you realize what it takes to lift and move a railroad rail? That's not something one homeless guy could do. It takes teams, cranes, and trucks."

    Hacksaw, stolen pallet jack, and a lever, and my crippled ass could make off with a fuckton of railroad track on my own.

    It doesn't take much. Just ingenuity.

    "Adaptations of this quote to every possible privacy or liberty issue deeply offend me."

    That's okay, because your utter inability to get off your ass and do anything about it offends me.

    Start fighting for your rights, maybe your favorite little phrase wouldn't get misused so much, asshole.

  4. Re:Courts hold driving is a right, not a privilege on TSA Doing Random Truck Searches On Tennessee Highway · · Score: 2

    "A right to use the public roads is not a right to drive, but a right to travel along them in a legal manner."

    Guess what? Most major roads prohibit travel by foot or non-motorized vehicles, especially interstates.

    Which makes your entire argument moot.

    Quite funny, there's no place on my DL to sign. Everything is a barcode.

    Nope, the government is your authority since you're too weak in the spine to stand up for your rights, you worthless coward.

    I'm looking at the back of mine and I see nothing about giving up my rights.

    I think you need remedial education - particularly in the reading and comprehension department.

    "I am part of the 1%"

    You're below me, that much I can guarantee. You rely upon me for your food.

    Also, just because you completed economics don't mean you're even close to being aware of the thermodynamic limits of economics.

    Bitcoin actually bothers with the thermodynamic aspect.

    No other currency does.

    This is why BC is more feasible than any other currency.

    You think your economics education is worth something? Better look at our country and try that one again, because sooner or later, your position in the 1% is going to drop. (In the meantime, I'm globally secure, so no worries here.)

    Too bad you never took any economics courses. You'd almost be spot-on if not for a few tiny oversights.

    Too bad you never took any economics courses.

    Speaking as part of the 1%, just FYI.

    Are you failing to understand the referencing to fundamental economics here, or are you just willfully obtuse?

    Thank god you aren't in charge of our economy, it would have failed even FASTER.

    Nope, it's still in process. I filed my answer against the douchelord, the courts said I didn't pay yet they filed my answer (and cashed my check for filing fees which they said I didn't pay,) and my last move was getting them (successfully) to vacate their prior default judgment against me. Now we're waiting on the court system to gear up for whatever's next, likely a trial before the judge.

    Minority Report.
    And I've already had an 80's Chevy S-10 flatten me, so stabbing me in the face with a Buick won't be nearly as effective as you'd like.

  16. The math does not add up on Can the Hottest Peppers In the World Kill You? · · Score: 1

    If it takes THREE POUNDS of naga jolokia to potentially kill someone MY small size, these people had to have been eating something in the neighborhood of 15-20 pounds of food in one sitting. Even eating three pounds of food is a very rough task for any regular human in one sitting.

    Something else killed these people, I'd wager, it wasn't the peppers, unless they were seriously starved people calorie-wise in the first place.

    Was thinking PWM for twitch/thrash potential. Twitchy tails during a solo would be just about perfect.

    Problem with using a voice coil is my ass will begin to hum.

    Otherwise that could be done with a PWM driver made for handling/pushing huge amounts of power, but getting it to respond realtime is the issue, there. Thankfully, I have enough raw programming experience to do that much.

    No blog or anything like that. However, I will be making a journal when I get to work on the project.

    Long-pile fur, custom shaved, either glued or stitched to a body-fitting suit. Headmask will be as fitting as possible, gonna need some excess length to make a nape/wire shroud. Gonna have the guitar plug directly into the suit and broadcast via wireless transmitter. Purely a show/performance suit.

    The bitch, the absolute BITCH, will be getting the tails controlled. That might be linked to another movement or general movement direction.

    No, Latin Vixen does not count as good, every bit of criteria I mentioned above is like her Hallmark.

    Wake me up when they make heads more realistic and give them the ability to use your natural eyes.

    Also, more realistic movements. I'm already working on one with sound-tracking ears and facial mimicry. LV doesn't have the engineering/mechanical experience to make that kind of thing.
