  1. Give them FEMA ! on Unusual Open Source · · Score: 1

    Should we give FEMA to be run by the staff of the Economist then ? They seem qualified enough !

  2. Re:Just because you agree with him on Diebold Whistle-Blower Charged With Felony Access · · Score: 1

    There is crime and bigger crime.... If you commit a crime to prevent a much bigger and reprehensible crime...the law should help you there....isn't that logical ?! Would we the law punish somebody who stole from Hitler in trying to prevent Hitler from killing people ?

  3. Crack-Berry addicted ? on Hopes Rise for RIM · · Score: 1

    Or is it rimming congressmen ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rimming/

  4. Sad on Britons Unconvinced on Evolution · · Score: 1

    "On one hand, I'm happy to see that rampant idiocy isn't a uniquely American trait."

    This statement make me feel sad.... Its like saying we have slavery here and its bad...but it mnakes feel happier you have it over there too !!

    The less people are bigot anywhere will help reduce bigotism here....just because the flow of information tend to make people aware of other options or way of thinking (at least that what i think but then i am wrong many times !)
    .

  5. Re:Fantastic Logic ! on Peter Quinn Explains his Resignation · · Score: 1

    In simple terms bubbub...you do expect politics not to be involved in many governmental jobs...otherwise you're dead as a duck !

  6. Fantastic Logic ! on Peter Quinn Explains his Resignation · · Score: 1

    Surely you mean then that government run emergency service should be run by politics... Boy don't ever hit 911 if your logic should apply !!!

  7. Why not make their own stats on DoJ search requests: Yahoo, AOL, MSN said "Yes" · · Score: 1

    Instead of fighting this in court if the government was really interested in statistics ...they could pay a few students to just google for 2 weeks and make their own statistics on how often porn turns up...What's the point of asking a search engine to give this. Are they really interested to make an argument or is it 1984 revisited...

  8. If there were a free press ... on Bush Backed Spying On Americans · · Score: 1
    If there really were a free press and not journalists coniving and hobnobing with political powers then there would not have been the war in the first place.

    Journalists would have gone in iraq and showed that there were no wmd or that the aluminium pipes were not of the types to be used in nuclear weapons or that there was no yellow cake deal or.... No they were busy whipping patriotic feelings.

    When is it last that NYT did some real investigative journalism and came promptly to the public about it ? I can't seem to remember !

  9. Re:Hmm on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 1
    You obviously have not eaten at the Owl (whose burger compares well to McDonald's) and Manny's (Manny is dead and its run by his son now for the last 4 years i think) recently !

    I am not the only one

    Check the link http://men.style.com/gq/features/full?id=content_2 526/

    Unless you confused booger with burger then you are right !

  10. Re:Hmm on Virgin Galactic to Build Space Port in New Mexico · · Score: 1

    And if you drive north of T-or-C to the small town of San Antonio, you can stop at the Owl Bar and Cafe for the best green chile cheeseburgers in all the world. [end shameless plug] No...then you havenot tasted the best chile cheese burger yet....its oppsite the Owl bar at the place called Mani's...Owl used to be good i heard but deteriorated of the last few years.

  11. Oh boy you can't quote on The Point of Google Print · · Score: 1

    So according to this suit...remembering stuff from a book and quoting it in speech or articles or books is unfair use...because reading the whole book and to quote randomly is unfair use...because that's what google is doing...but using a computer to do it !
