    When did they revoke his license, before or after they blew up his car?

    There you go being rational again! Get on board the "We ain't payin' to educate darkies" program and stop whining! Seriously though, it's hilarious to watch all of these anonymous cowards regurgitate the corporate party line like it's the be-all and end-all of American freedom, when it's really just an attempt to justify corporate rule.

    An educator who can't write a proper English sentence? I detect the scent of BS.

    Might not be a bad idea. We should start with shutting down Delaware as a credit card processing facility. And, by the way, the story was about hypocricy, not the finer points of the distorted law enacted by corporate stooges in congress.

    At the very least he didn't bother to proof read what he wrote. At worst, he really doesn't know how to spell ejamacashun. From his right-wing attitude I would say he isn't terribly knowledgeable about much at all, and that would include the finer points of creative writing. "We don need no stinkin eduction!"

    Most "ganjadudes" tend to be progressive. You sound decidedly far right/Tea Party. Perhaps you should consider getting a more accurate handle, like, perhaps, IveGotMineLet'mStarve.

    ManufactureRs. Manufactures is what a manufacturer does.

    I think that's what the gigafactory is all about. While everyone else natters on about "costly batteries," Tesla is actually doing something about it.

  10. No It's Not on Lost City Discovered In Honduran Rain Forest · · Score: 2

    That's not a pyramid, it's just a vegetation encrusted natural phenomenon like the "pyramids" in Bosnia. Why is every orthogonal formation with four sides aligned with the cardinal points and a platform on top supposed to be a pyramid? Damned New Agers. ;-)

    Of course not. For starters, the guy works 80 hours a week--or at least he said once he's trying to get it DOWN to 80 hours a week. The man is far from a parasite. Not that there aren't CEOs who are parasites, but Musk is clearly not one of them.

    In the 1960s, John Kennedy tried to break up the CIA and throw the pieces to the wind, but they blew his brains out in broad daylight.

    The "people who want to do us harm" at the CIA, and their stooges, already have protection. And last time I looked, the constitution was still the law of the land.

    The local detachment of gun nuts must have run out of mod points, otherwise you'd be flamebait, queerbait, and fishbait all at once. Keep thinking for yourself.

    Clearly not a "physics expert." Nor a reality expert. I suppose if you had a revival meeting inside of a wooden barn in your home state of West Podunk, you might be able to kill a bunch of people with a gallon of gasoline, providing the locals didn't smell it and come out and beat the living crap out of you before cutting off your balls, but a gallon of gasoline in a modern building with proper fire exits could very well not kill anyone. Whereas emptying a 100-round clip into a classroom full of 6-year-olds is pretty certain to kill most of them.

    And keep in mind that there's nothing macho or ballsy about starting a fire with a gallon of gasoline. I don't recall any video games where you go around starting gratuitous fires. Whereas there are a butt load of games that glorify some macho pinhead going around shooting people.

    And of course I could also point out that your little gasoline scenario is pretty much hypothetical in that no one has recently set a pre-school on fire. Again, perhaps, because matches don't make much of a penus substitute for those closeted individuals who feel unmanly.

    I realize you're not the kind of person who is swayed by those nasty things called facts, but I should still point for those who think you are even verging on reality, that you can often run out of a burning building without the fire shooting you in the back.

    The sad thing is, the guys running Slashdot haven't figured out that they've been hijacked by a bunch of NRA plants. At least they should be proud that the crazies expend more effort distorting the facts here than they do over at Wikipedia, which is sometimes referred to as Wikiganda by the cognoscenti. And by the way, just to keep this discussion honest, here's the ENTIRE 2nd Amendment, including that mysterious bit about a well regulated militia:

    "A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the security of a free State, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms, shall not be infringed."

    It's not the general election. It's the primary where we could actually make a difference. Start with a database of primary candidates sworn to reinstate democratic procedures, end the empire, and remove all 1984 style laws from the books.

    There you go using "officer" and "think" in the same sentence. Police aren't hired to think. Some departments actually have maximum IQ regulations. They are hired to follow orders no matter how stupid or perverted.
