  5. Re:I hope this gets tossed out on Apple Is Served A Search Warrant To Unlock Texas Church Gunman's iPhone (nydailynews.com) · · Score: 1

    They know who did the shooting, they know what happened, unlocking the phone doesn't do anything for this case.

  8. Privatize the gains, socialize the losses on RadioShack Is Preparing to File For Bankruptcy Again (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Their bankruptcy filing should be thrown out by the judge. Its absurd that they can turn around a bankruptcy before the ink is dry on the first one.

  9. The more they talk about loving Voodoo Donuts, the more doubts I have about the claim that you're from Portland too

  10. More people are killed with BARE HANDS than are killed by someone using any kind of long gun.

    Maybe so, but your hands can do lots of things, where as hand guns and assault weapons are designed specifically with only one purpose in mind.

    By applying that same logic, those types of firearms are simply not needed since your hands are equally or more effective than guns

  11. Alternative facts on The Leap Week: Did Apple Really Have a Record Quarter? (lapcatsoftware.com) · · Score: 1

    Its not a down quarter... Just alternative facts

    I'm not worried about the human labor downsizing..
    I'm a people person. I bring the specs from the customer to the robots. Well, my secretary does that... or they're faxed.

    Have you tried their app? I happen to live in Portland and work downtown.. the Starbucks at US Banc Corp Tower is probably the busiest in the city -- ordering ahead already saved me about 20 minutes last week.

    Doomed to fail.

    Its been a massive success for both employees and customers. This IS the way regulars will order for the foreseeable future.

  22. Re:they must hate cash, too on MasterCard Rails Against Bitcoin's (Semi-)Anonymity · · Score: 1

    Agreed. This is MasterCard complaining about how they're business model is threatened by BitCoin. Interchange is what keeps them printing money.

  24. Re:Calories on Soylent: No Food For 30 Days · · Score: 1

    EVERYONE'S bodies behaveexactly the same to identical diets (eventually)

    Not true. Thyroid, autoimmune issues (certain diseases like Crohn's), gut flora,... can absolutely have a significant impact on metabolism or one's ability to properly digest foods. The body often compensates by either burning/storing more or less depending on certain circumstances. Even environmental conditions contribute to the big picture. Its an oversimplification of the metabolic process to say everyone responds the same to the same diet.

  25. Re:Why? on Why Is Broadband More Expensive In the US Than Elsewhere? · · Score: 1

    Look on the bright side, if you carve off select states, namely anything south of the mason-dixon line and east of new mexico, we do rocket up the list in education.
