    Wonder how long it will take before a Virginian shoots one down...

    We can call them the transvaginal ultra drones...

  6. Re:How do they filter porn then? on Cost of Pre-Screening All YouTube Content: US$37 Billion · · Score: 1

  8. Smaug? on ISS Captures SpaceX Dragon Capsule · · Score: 4, Funny

    It does not do to leave a live dragon out of your calculations, if you live near him. Dragons may not have much real use for all their wealth, but they know it to an ounce as a rule, especially after long possession...

    It's to be called the "Good Day Array"...

  10. Re:Beauacracy on Obama To Agencies: Optimize Web Content For Mobile · · Score: 1

    My response was not anti-government, it is pro-efficiency. I was simply responding to what the President said. He is saying that someone has to get "information across different government programs" in order to find the info they want. I don't see how creating mobile apps helps that, seems like simplifying the number of programs a user interacts with would. As to which to "ditch", that's a completely different argument and one we've all been having for decades, and probably will continue too.

  11. Beauacracy on Obama To Agencies: Optimize Web Content For Mobile · · Score: 5, Insightful
    'For far too long, the American people have been forced to navigate a labyrinth of information across different government programs in order to find the services they need.'"

    Or perhaps we need to simplify the number of "programs", that might help too.

    ...but please noone ever do this again, or at least give good warning so that we can avoid going down the path until it's complete.

    Someone did do it, the right way. Steven Erikson and the Malazan Book of Fallen. Epic, big (10 very large books) and very well written, and yes, even complete. It can be done. You just need the right writer.

  17. The Asteroid Field on NASA Satellite Snaps First Image of Target Asteroid · · Score: 1

    I think my eyes are getting better. Instead of a big dark blur, I see a big bright blur.
