  1. Re:I'll take the wine instead on The Mathematical Case For Buying a Powerball Ticket · · Score: 1

    Clearly you've never been to Vegas (max bet, spin, max bet spin... Ding ding ding!). It's stupid to buy just one ticket. You have just one change to not only get the jackpot, one change to get every other combination as well. In Maryland one woman didn't get the jackpot, she got the 1M other prize. It's stupid to not buy at least $20 at a pop. I often buy $80 - $100 when I buy them. I think I didn't win something about 5 years ago.

    Understand that the $100 to me means very close to nothing. I'll never miss it. I probably do this 3 times a year or less? Something like that.

  2. Re: Science... Yah! on Science's Biggest Failure: Everything About Diet and Fitness · · Score: 1

    You're talking out your ass. Read the latest UN report? Says they are more sure than ever man is causing GW, yet admit they have no idea why it's not warmer now given the CO2 levels. They can no longer defend their models, it's been over 15 years. Statistically impossible to believe them anymore.

    Ignorance we can fix, stupidity is forever. Question is - which are you? Look up Maurice Strong sometime. Get mad at being fooled.

    Thinking back to kids I knew in elementary school, now over 40 years later, those that were in trouble have the most interesting lives now. They're someone without exception. Those that conformed are your nurses, factory type workers, well drone bees.

  5. Re:its not about the ring, its just a lesson. on Texas Boy Suspended For "Threatening" Classmate With the One Ring · · Score: 1

    I have to disagree on this one. He didn't threaten the other kid. Make you disappear? Come one. How about what I used to hear - kick your ass, beat you up, take all your money... and so on - now they're threats. Almost never carried out. Make you disappear is right out of a David Copperfield show. A trick.

    I suppose it also goes to show that you don't have to have a brain to be a principal. I bet she used the one she has now.

    No shit Sherlock. Why do you think I said they wouldn't vote for Obama, or any Democrat toeing his line?

    Because you didn't say that. Check your own post.

    Either you're a raving dammfool lunatic right wing nutjob, or you're just a raving dammfool lunatic nutjob. There's insufficient evidence to decide between them.

    You're way out of touch to the point of ignorance. Not that this is bad, ignorance we can fix. Stupidity is forever. I'm not to the right, I consistently test right in the center. Open your eyes. Better yet, listen to the horses own mouth - "dreams from my father" Obama will read it to you himself. He wants to ruin the US and he is quite clear about it, what do you think "fundamentally change America" meant? Wake up.

    They missed the most obvious target. You can usually find police at a police station. No Waze required. Also, they are often found at Donut shops.

  11. Stupid as the SFRA is. on White House Drone Incident Exposes Key Security Gap · · Score: 1

    Right after 9/11 they imposed an ADIZ, then changed the name to Special Flight Rules Area. For 10 miles around DCA, there's no flight for almost all but a very special few. Between that and about 20 miles, you can go there if you ask - Mother May I (Follow rules). Of course this only applies to GA aircraft - something not used in a terrorist act anywhere in the world. The aircraft that were - big commercial jets continue like before.

    Even so, we're not "at war" anymore. So no excuse. They should eliminate it.

  12. Fairly low tech on Anonymous No More: Your Coding Style Can Give You Away · · Score: 1

    Used to be able to tell which student's code I was looking at towards the end of a semester, in the 1980s. No need to look at who submitted it. From time to time I'd find one student's work turned in by someone else. That would result in an inquiry and usually an action against that student. Ye old dumpster dive.

    Years later I would do code reviews. Hardly any time I could tell you who wrote it. Even if they had departed the company. Certain people do certain things predictably.

    Do you know what a "Dixiecrat" is?

    Doesn't sound like it. None of you "Lincoln was a Republican!!!1!1" idiots do. Well, either that, or your cynicism knows no bounds.

    No cynicism. You're lost in the fog and that's intentional. They lie a lot. Often they'll say something true, slip in a really big lie, then another truth. This administration often doesn't even bother with that, they just go for really big lies.

    You're a liberal that doesn't know what conservatism is. Things are conservative because they worked. Wherever this socialism crap is tried, it fails. That is what the Democrats today really are. Not new, I can take you clear back to Roman times. Same bullshit. I bet you don't even know that if I were to take the National Socialist Party's platform from the 1930s and the Democratic party's platform from 2008, you wouldn't be able to tell which is which. I have a feeling you don't even know what the National Socialist Party's better known name is and that they are to the left. Right of communism, however to the left.

    As for this dixicrat BS, not just a southern thing. That's another big lie of theirs.

    Ignorance isn't anything to be ashamed of. You can fix that. If you don't, then you're stupid. Nobody can fix stupid.

  17. Senator Byrd on Blogger Who Revealed GOP Leader's KKK Ties Had Home Internet Lines Cut · · Score: 1

    Dude was a KKK grand dragon and proud of it. Served until recently. For some reason this was never a concern because he was a Democrat. Lots of racism in the Democratic party. Yet they accuse Republicans of being racist even though they clearly aren't. Lincoln was a Republican. Republicans gave women the right to vote. Republicans - Eisenhower tried to give blacks the civil rights act, which LBJ defeated. LBJ only passed it, the THIRD time it came to him and only because he had to. Jim Crowe laws - all democratic. Check out Governor Wallace. And on and on. If you're a Democrat, you're a racist in my opinion.

    Don't mod this as flame bait until you check. Facts hurt sometimes. Once you know the truth - mod as insightful.

    My age too. I disagree. We had stupid people like this back then too. They were told to shut up. I can remember in Weaton, which is not far from where this happend the Lyons girls were kidnapped. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/L... . All the parents in the neighbourhood were a bit concerned, yet still sent us out. Be back by dark.

    Police with the help of the PC bullshit are a lot more stupid today than they were then. Too PC. Black guy, with a crow bar, walking towards a store in the middle of the night. Back then, they'd watch him. He might be planning to break into a store. Today - nope, that's profiling. Surprise, surprise, next day a store was broken into.

    Well the police were called by an asshole. They had to do something. Can't tell the caller to shut the fuck up and mind their own business, can they?

    Once they were told the situation and that these were not abandoned kids, they should have returned the kids and moved on. No CPS necessary.

    You know what they say. If you're not a Democrat when you're young you have no heart. If you aren't a Republican when you're older, you have no brain.

    Prove it. We can show water vapor increases temperature, even methane. I have yet to see anything other than "it's obvious" to show co2 is increasing temperatures.

    Bad thing was calling it a "greenhouse gas". Greenhouses don't contain CO2 in much of a concentration. They'd be consumed by the plants, obviously. Greenhouses are hot because of other reasons.

    Carbon dioxide is a symptom historically, not the cause and they know it. That's why the UN has said that the temperature isn't going up and they don't know why. Somehow, they are even more sure of themselves even though their models are clearly wrong. Even to middle school students. This is all natural, and they know that too. Go back to the 13th century and you'll find Venetians trying to keep the Adriatic sea out of their town. No MM Co2 back then. Breaks their whole model of course.

    Just some very wealthy people trying to bullshit all of us into paying them boat loads of money for something that is happening naturally, and we can't stop.
