  1. Re:The Littoral Combat Ship should be cancelled on Cyber Vulnerabilities Found In Navy's Newest Warship · · Score: 0

    I love ships and have quite a few model kits of them, but quite frankly the navy as a whole is irrelevant today.

  2. Re:Ah, now the delays make sense on TSA Accepting Public Comments On Whole Body Airport Screening · · Score: 1

    They immigrated in 2002 when one was 9 and the other 16 it's not like they showed up six months ago. Dzhokhar especially was Americanized, although it seems pretty plain his crazy brother was the one who set everything up.

  3. Re:Slippery slope. on Bruce Schneier On the Marathon Bomber Manhunt · · Score: 1

    We have THREE 24 hour news stations, maybe instead of reporting every false lead and repeating the same old information in alternating sentences they could have reported on other things and checked back for updates?

  4. Re:Nada in NYC on Aurora Borealis Likely To Be Visible In Southern NY and PA Tonight · · Score: 2

    I can not see anything from the NJ pine barrens, but a seven hour deviation is the entirety of night this time of year.

    And who boils live frogs anyway? Wouldn't crab or lobster make for a much better analogy?

  6. Funny, I remember Hans Blix going all over the place in the lead up to war trying to assure everyone that Saddam did NOT have any WMDs.

  7. Re:It's just a contract on Jedi May Be Allowed To Perform Marriage Ceremonies In Scotland · · Score: 1

    Yes well marriage has actually been a state-recognized union for longer than religion was involved. Its purpose was mostly concerned with property rights and inheritance rather than love. And religion and government didn't merge into one until much more recently (and even then, only in certain cultures). For some reason our country needs to believe its history comes straight from Israel to Rome to England to US. Despite the fact that there are quite a few people from older cultures and traditions living here.

  8. Re:Why did this need to go to the supreme court? on Supreme Court Upholds First Sale Doctrine · · Score: 1

    This was true in the 18th century as well, and we still considered the second amendment imperative. The biggest difference is the constitution was not intended to apply to state laws. That is a consequence of the 14th

    There's been like six popes named Benedict since the 12th century

  11. Re:Manning is a Hero and a Traitor on What If Manning Had Leaked To the New York Times? · · Score: 1

    Everyone pays taxes, they may not all pay income tax, but even the poor still pay property tax (through rent) and sales tax, and gas tax and sin taxes on alcohol. Maybe if you want them to pay more taxes you could pay higher wages Mr. Job Creator and bump them up a bracket or two.

  12. Re:It's a flawed way to keep a site up. on Game Site Wonders 'What Next?' When 50% of Users Block Ads · · Score: 1

    I can only imagine where TV would be today if advertisers expected you to stop in the middle of the show and click through to their website right at that moment.

  13. Re:It's still smart to look clean... on Court: 4th Amendment Applies At Border, Password Protected Files Not Suspicious · · Score: 2

    I thought they wanted to look at your hentai so they can send you down the river for any loli/shota you might have.

  14. Re:Not true on SimCity 5: How Not To Design a Single Player Game · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Because we WANT good games to play, and voting with your wallet is great (as I am doing with this game) but most companies also want to hear WHY you are doing so. In fact they pay lots of money for market research, and it is a positive thing for you and them to tell them what you as a consumer want.

  15. Re:Robot wars on Not Quite a T-1000, But On the Right Track · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In a war between robots, innocent civilians will be 100% of the casualties.

  16. Re:Internet access is a public utility on Copyright Alert System To Launch Monday · · Score: 1

    Get involved in your party primaries! Most primaries have an insurgent candidate and the very low voter turnout means a small dedicated force can beat the corporate sponsored party candidate. Especially in statewide offices.

  17. Re:Massive consumer backlash on Copyright Alert System To Launch Monday · · Score: 1

    Pickup truck + ballista + tarp (for covering in transport) = Lay siege!

  18. Impeachment on Leaked: Obama's Rules For Assassinating American Citizens · · Score: 5, Insightful

    This calls for Impeachment and trial of everyone involved. It will not happen of course, because murder is not as big a deal as getting a blowjob from an intern.

  19. Re:waste of money on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    I certainly agree, but I am one of few who believes dissolution of the US (and EU for that matter) is the best course for the future.

  20. Re:waste of money on Machine Gun Fire From Military Helicopters Flying Over Downtown Miami · · Score: 1

    I said 200 years because I was rounding to the wzr of 1812. Fighting other powers over colonial claims does not count as a risk of invasion. Nor does a terrorist attack or immigration in reference to the loony AC). This exercise, and about 75% or more of US defense spending is excessive and unneces

    Right, lets waste money prepping for Red Dawn. The US has not been at risk of invasion for two centuries.

  22. Re:Copyright protection on Jonathan Coulton Song Used By Glee Without Permission · · Score: 4, Informative

    There is separate licensing for covers and derivative works. Coulton only got a license to cover, although his certainly an original take on it, he has no special ownership over his version, anyone else getting a license to cover can perform a version identical to coultons.

  23. Re:Then why is overuse 5x as expensive as in-band on Former FCC Boss: Data Caps Not About Network Congestion · · Score: 1

    In America, when customers are unhappy with their product, we are free to bitch and complain about it. Companies tend to prefer this over us simply quietly switching to another service when our contract is up without telling them why they are losing their money.

  24. Re:Wi-Fi on Former FCC Boss: Data Caps Not About Network Congestion · · Score: 1

    I use wifi at home. At work, which is driving around all the day wifi is unavaioable. Pandora and forum/slashdot browsing are what I generally use it for, along with google voice texting, calling and instant messenging.

  25. Re:Then why is overuse 5x as expensive as in-band on Former FCC Boss: Data Caps Not About Network Congestion · · Score: 1

    Because the performance on the throttled speed is incredibly poor as to make it useless. In hindsight, I would have gone with AT&T who charge $10/extra gb. T-mobile also offers unlimited data to phones, but not tablets. Separating tablet and phone plans is collusion between the big three as functionally my tab is just a bigger cell phone (and with the European rom could even make calls).
