  1. Re:Don't live there on Man Sues Neighbor For Not Turning Off His Wi-Fi · · Score: 1

    Can you prove it doesn't?

  2. Re:*First post.. on Public School Teachers Selling Lesson Plans Online · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Way to troll, I had several PHDs teaching me through my education. Three in High School and one in middle school. At no point did creationism ever come up, evolution was taught by the biology teacher, and the heath class passed out condoms. Your opinion of our education system is vastly skewed by the media who over reacts (maybe rightly) to each incident.

  4. Re:isn't that why we have judges on Data Entry Errors Resulted In Improper Sentences · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A good lawyer is expensive, some criminals can't afford good ones. Instead they end up with overworked public defenders who might have read the case file before going into the court.

  5. Idiot Sheriff on Judge Rejects Sheriff's Suit Against Craigslist · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The sheriff in question was no doubt trying to just drum up some publicity for himself. Remind me again why he's enforcing laws he clearly doesn't understand?

    Yet curiously, none of that infrastructure is there in an emergency. Hard copies are always useful.

  7. Re:Wow on UK Police Raid Party After Seeing "All-Night" Tag On Facebook · · Score: 5, Informative

    Since 1994 with the introduction of the Criminal Justice and Public Order Act of 1994.
    I cant take credit for this info though, shamelessly stolen from the discussion on reddit yesterday.

  8. How does thie help the defense? on RIAA Moves To Keep Revenue Info Secret · · Score: 0

    Forgive my ignorance, but how does this help the defense to have this info? It is my understanding that statutory damages are for when actual damages are hard to prove. The damages are pretty hard to prove so how does this help?

  9. Re:Taxes on New Video of Tesla's Mass-Market Electric Car · · Score: 1

    Troll, that's a loan. Loans typically have to get paid back with interest.
    Also, according to wolfram alpha, there are approximately 115.2M people employed in the United States. The loan was for $465M. This averages out to $4.04 per taxpayer. Not a whole lot to take off now is it?

  10. Re:Miley Cyrus REAL 20 year old boyfriend on Tennesee Man Charged In "Virtual Pornography" Case · · Score: 1

    Because nobody has lodged a formal complaint with the police. Furthermore, there is no evidence of the crime nor anyone that will testify. Just because the guy dated her doesn't mean they had sex either.

  11. Re:Well . . . on In Round 2, Jammie Thomas Jury Awards RIAA $1,920,000 · · Score: 1

    He is able to do that because he has an objective stance. He not invested in either side. As far as i can tell, he does not like the outcomes, but he tries to maintain objectivity. I Think if he was emotionally invested, and put on the spot like that there would be plenty of times for him to say, "Damn, I should have done X but I did Y"

  12. Re:Yeah, why is that? on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 1

    Because, if your read the faq, it was to promote more intelligent conversations. Funny is the low hanging fruit, it gets rated up a lot more often than the informative post that tells you exactly how far that not-a-moon is away.

  13. Re:Gandhi isn't always right on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Exactly. Ghandi had the ideal conditions for his style of protest. He was not just a silly idealist, but rather a clear headed thinker. He looked for the method that would cause them to lose face at home. Iranians don't have such a situation. They are the voters who have been decieved. They are rising up and telling thier governement that they do not approve of being lied to.

    They arent just comitting random acts of violence as far as I can tell. I watched a youtube video earlier where the crowd attacked a riot cop who was on a motorbike swinging a baton at the crowd. They pulled him off the bike and torched the bike. Yet they spared him any attack beyond that. In a mob situation like that it is easy to lose your humanity. The crowd could have killed him, yet they didn't. That shows to me that they are genuinely angry yet still responsible about it. Even Ghandi would have approved of this.

    Funny doesn't give karma, Some use insightful as a way to say, " Your funny and you deserve karma for that comment."

    Hate to break it to ya Mr. Amish guy, Oppressive rule has been around since we learned how to beat people over the head with clubs. Pollution is caused by population. And so far, only two nuclear bombs have ever been detonated. We have never had full scale nuclear war, and it looks like we never will.

  17. Re:Gandhi isn't always right on Iran Moves To End "Facebook Revolution" · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Even Ghandi recognized the power of violence. He once said that the best kind of person to lead in his non-violent revolution was a person who had served in the military or police. You see, he recognized that even though violence was a solution, there were other ways for him to achieve his goals. He never said violence should not be used; Only that it should be a last resort. Iranians have tried the path of peace, the problem here is: You can never get a person who thinks he has god on his side to believe he is wrong.

    It will be bright enough to read by at night when it does go. The neutrinos may cause an increase in cancer rates, but humanity would survive just as we always have. Depending on how long it lasts we will likely see some climate change. But again, life will go on

  19. Re:Nonsequitor in the summary on Square Enix Shuts Down Fan-Made Chrono Trigger Sequel · · Score: 2, Interesting

    If you can't make money off a product so popular that people want to invest 5 years of thier lives to make sequels and give it away then you are doing something seriously wrong. The production of the sequels indicates large demand, yet no supply.

  20. Re:HS chem may be a fading memory but... on Lithium In Water "Curbs Suicide" · · Score: 1

    What, are we going to add tap water to things women shouldn't ingest when pregnant?

    This is obviously a plot by expecting mothers to be able to drink alcohol during their pregnancies. Thank god you figured it out man!

  21. Re:Why? on Music Copyright In EU Extended To 70 Years · · Score: 1

    70 years after your death isn't any family you would have really known. Your grandchildren will likely die around 50 years after you die. So this is your great-grandchildren your leaving stuff to now. That doesn't make a lot of sense for locking up the culture and sure doesn't promote artists to create new works, which was the purpose of copyright.

    This will be your chance to make some money off their commercial use of your art, a good chunk of money at that. All you have to be able to do is prove when you created the works and when they started using them.

    Good luck with your new found source of revenue!

  25. Re:Cow of the future? on Tesla Releases First Official Photos of Model S Sedan · · Score: 3, Insightful

    The cow is dying anyways for food. Why do we need to waste it's skin just so some hippies can feel better about it. The Native Americans used to pay honor to the animals they hunted by finding a way to use every piece of the remains, letting nothing go to waste.

    Besides, that's imitation leather anyways.
