  1. Re:As long as tasers have lasted... on UK Police Test 'Temporarily Blinding' LASER · · Score: 0

    Tasers generally aren't used on large crowds at once. Firing something like this into crowds is going to drastically increase the chances of at least one person walking away seriously injured almost every time it's used.

    Or past the first cop who tries this shit on someone with a mirror.

  3. Re:When will Iran apologize to humanity? on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 2

    If you think that coup is utterly unrelated to the subsequent history of Iran and U.S./Iranian relations you're either a complete idiot or willfully deluded. I'll give you the benefit of the doubt and assume the latter.

  4. Re:Now these guys have some balls on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    And by "balls" you mean "many, many wars which he cannot win and cannot afford."

  5. Re:All Ur Drones R Belong 2 Us on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 5, Funny

    I bet they could make them cheaper than Lockheed Martin. Might work out for us in the end.

    Yeah, because a competent President would have started World War III rather than give up a single lousy drone.

    In all fairness, most of it was probably made in China.

  8. Re:When will Iran apologize to humanity? on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Probably the same day the U.S. apologizes for the coup that overthrew democracy in Iran and put the Shah in power in 1953.

    A better analogy might be a peeping tom throwing a camera through someone's window and then ringing the doorbell to ask for it back.

    You'd be surprised how often that works, BTW.

  10. Yeah, and I want to clone Brittany Murphy on Iran Wants To Clone Downed US Drone · · Score: 3

    But let's face it, it just ain't happening.

    the LHC cannot disprove the HB

    And you of course realize that he's currently running for President again, right?

    Look, he's even offering to throw a tea party for all of you with doubts. Drink up!

  14. Re:Take action at EFF on House Panel Moving Forward With SOPA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The 44 cents in postage I would waste would pale in comparison to the $68,000 the media industry donated to my representative last year.

  15. Re:Glad some found on Two Lost Doctor Who Episodes Found · · Score: 2

    Not only that, but pre-1940's nitrate film was actually very dangerous to keep around in archives. Keeping highly unstable and flammable film stock around in your archive was like storing your valuable book collection amongst a bunch of oily rags and gasoline cans.

  16. Geez, we're down to scare tactics now, huh on Site Offers History of Torrent Downloads By IP · · Score: 2, Funny

    The MPAA must really be getting desperate. I guess owning Congress just isn't what it used to be.

    what it called 'psychological warfare.'

    Big words for a country that built an entire town on their side of the border, just for propaganda.

    The rest is just bookkeeping.

  22. Re:Trojan horse? on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    I would like to believe the CIA was that clever. But, having read about their rather long history of goofball moves, I find it hard to believe they could pull off something which would make for a great twist in a heist movie, but probably would never work in real life.

  23. Re:Oh Iran ... You Are Too Cute on Iranian TV Shows Downed US Drone · · Score: 1

    Considering that the big defense contractors own Congress, I'm pretty sure they're going to be pumping tons of money into the next generation of *every* form of military tech, regardless.

    If the movie Looker is any indication, this can only end in a lot of deaths and a nude scene with Susan Dey.
