  1. Re: Home of the brave? on Top Five Theaters Won't Show "The Interview" Sony Cancels Release · · Score: 1

    No, it is because five of the major theater chains backed out of showing it and Sony doesn't want to release it wem half the country can't go yo see it. It was all about opening box office

  2. Re: Can you say... on Judge Rules Drug Maker Cannot Halt Sales of Alzheimer's Medicine · · Score: 1

    Is there a reason drugs are patented and not just kept trade secrets like the colonels secret recipe? Is it that easy to reverse engineer them?

  3. Re:that pre dates 9/11. laptops from late 90's for on Are the TSA's New Electronic Device Screenings Necessary? · · Score: 2

    There are way better places to hide C4 if you have access to it that they won't be able to detect.

  4. Re:About fucking time on Football Concussion Lawsuits Start To Hit High Schools · · Score: 2

    It's a problem for sure. It's not a fucking epidemic. People need to stop using that word wrong.

  5. Re: Early adopters on For Some Would-Be Google Glass Buyers and Devs, Delays May Mean Giving Up · · Score: 1

    I have a gear one, I have to charge it only every other night. My only real beef with it is inability to really respond to skype messages/google voice without pulling my phone out.

  6. Re:Stupid, trucks cause the problem on The Downside to Low Gas Prices · · Score: 1

    It could also encourage us to reinvest a bit more in our freight rail system. It's stupid to send two hundred trucks of stuff from coast to coast when one train can carry an equal amount.

  7. Re:Ok... just turned two score, but... on The Students Who Feel They Have the Right To Cheat · · Score: 1

    That's the fault of the site I copy/pasted from (and probably the fact that I'm too young even for Bye Bye Birdie)

  8. Re: here we go on How To End Online Harassment · · Score: 1

    As a male try getting a job as a receptionist or bank teller. It's nearly impossible. These may not be the best jobs in the world but when you are trying to push yourself up out of minimum wage retail and hold a BA or Associates degree having a penis is strikes 1 2 and 3 against you.

    I am not a straight white male (only two of the three).

  10. Re: Wonderful on Marijuana Legalized In Oregon, Alaska, and Washington DC · · Score: 4, Informative

    It means it is no longer a violation of state law, only federal. The federal government can still enforce the laws without using local resources but they don't really want to spark a fight between state governments and the federal.

  11. Re:What did you expect.. on New Crash Test Dummies Reflect Rising American Bodyweight · · Score: 0

    It's because low paying jobs are very sedentary and people working two or three of them don't have the time to hit the gym or go out jogging like all those upper middle class moms with their land rovers.

  12. Re:someohow I think on "Police Detector" Monitors Emergency Radio Transmissions · · Score: 1

    Although not a state, they are also illegal in DC and on military bases.

  13. Re: Sandy was not a superstorm on Study: New Jersey e-Vote Experiment After Sandy a Disaster · · Score: 1

    Beat? Maybe not, but a libertarian/right leaning Democrat could have certainly put up a strong challenge. I worked on one's primary campaign (Carl Bergmanson) but the Democratic party cockblocked us at every turn. Refused to allow us to speak at county party meetings, fought (and won) to knock us off the ballot, they were determined to put Buono up for slaughter.

  14. Re: Sandy was not a superstorm on Study: New Jersey e-Vote Experiment After Sandy a Disaster · · Score: 1

    No he got reelected because the Democrats weren't interested in trying to oust him. The candidate they put up was a crony who demanded her turn at higher office and this was the only chance she would ever be allowed to run.

  15. Re:No they're not on British Army Looking For Gamers For Their Smart-Tanks · · Score: 1

    You're confusing Enlisted personnel for the entirety of the military. They hope for creatives to join the officer corps.

  17. Re: F the UK on In UK, Internet Trolls Could Face Two Years In Jail · · Score: 1

    The same could be said of the US and Russia not going against Hitler early. It can also be said that because the US didn't join the League of Nations it lacked the teeth to do anything against him. Seems silly to blame the UK and France alone.

    Well, now Google can just point a link at the BBC's index of articles of with their links removed.

  20. Re:Or... Check this radical idea... on US Navy Develops Robot Boat Swarm To Overwhelm Enemies · · Score: 3, Interesting

    They want to stop another USS Cole incident, how about this radical idea. Put some frikkin armor on the ships. We went from 12in armor around the entire ship to 2.5in armor around vital spaces only. It's absurd. Our entire Navy is just one big expensive glass cannon (except without the cannon part, we got rid of those too).

  21. Re:Looney Tunes on The Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons Is Dead · · Score: 4, Informative

    First off, Speedy Gonzalez is LOVED in Mexico, he's a cultural icon there, not a stereotype (his slower cousin maybe not as well received). Also there was a recent show that featured all the characters and definitely as enjoyable or more enjoyable for adults.

  22. Re:Cable channels killed it and the OTA stations on The Era of Saturday Morning Cartoons Is Dead · · Score: 2

    It's so hard to believe they can make more off of infomercials. Cartoons had to have ten times their ratings easily. Even with parents usually just throwing ToonDisney/Nicktoons on and leaving it on all day nowadays.

    Animaniacs should be considered E/I. To this day I can point out Lake Titicaca on a map if I have to.

    I voted third party, it clearly doesn't matter whether you vote R or D, they're still stripping our freedoms, increasing taxes and sending us off to war. At that point there's no harm in sending my vote to a third party.
