  1. Re:Okey dokey on Gay Guild Recruitment Disallowed From WoW? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Er, I don't know about you, but personally, I would find a guild advertised as 'non-caucasian' to be exclusionary, racist and offensive.

  2. Re:Downsite? on Steam Hybrid Car from BMW · · Score: 1

    Except that a turbo is a type of supercharger....

    Supercharging is simply forcing extra air or charge into the combustion chamber.

    Extra air requires extra fuel if you want your engine to live.

    So at the end of the day, we own it.

    Incorrect.


    By whose definition? We own the governing organizations, we own the infrastructure inside of the U.S. I suppose you could argue that no one can own the Internet, but we certainly control it, and I have yet to be presented with a reason why it shouldn't be that way.

    Ever hear the expression, "fool me once, shame on you... fool me twice, shame on me"?

  6. Re:End Social Security on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    No, read the COTUS. If you change your statement to be : "If The local Government is justified in providing public sanitation service...", then you would be correct. The states and the people are not under the same restrictions as the federal government per the COTUS.

  7. Re:End Social Security on Mathematics of the Social Security "Crisis" · · Score: 1

    Because public sanitation, police and fire are all handled by the state and local governments. The COTUS talks about the Feds. You might want to actually read the COTUS before making a statement like that.

    What about a space elevator?

  9. Re:Why else? on Your Right to Travel Anonymously: Not Dead Yet · · Score: 1

    The right to privacy is not in the Constitution. It is what is known as an penumbral right. It has been guaranteed by the courts even though it is not expressly stated as such. That being said, privacy != anonymity.

    Mostly true, but in Micro$oft's case they owe
    allegiance to their stockholders, which is why it
    is "imperative to acquire/accrete more
    capital and expand its markets"
