Welcome to capitalism.

I love my NT, I got a color before the Fire was ever released.

Many of the Ebooks I have are PDFs from DriveThruRPG, so color was a requirement and the Fire wasn't even an option at the time.

Now the Fire seemed, and still does seem when comparing it to the NTs & Colors, like an "Oh shit, people want this? We have to slap something together and get it out for the holiday season."

So next time you meet Mensa member be sure to ask them how their investment club is doing.

That would be a beautiful kick in the ass of the IOC.

And here I thought GA was stupid for helping the kids cheat.

I spent my entire school career dealing with teachers who essentially said: He can't be that smart, he has prove it. And of course by the time I proved it, it was time for the next class and the cycle started again.

Those fuckers need to be outright with prejudice with no severance and no golden parachute. But since that's not going to happen, a class action lawsuit by the parents against the fuckers is the only solution.

Fuck picketing and letter writing, nothing says disagreement like filing a class action lawsuit. And I'm certain with 1 in like 250 or so people in the US being lawyers, there are a few with children in school right now.

Once the lawsuit is filed, then start the negotiations from a position of strength. Just watch the how fast the "protect the children" fuckers roll over when they're the ones getting crucified for that shit. The'll learn real fast that shit cuts both ways.

They aren't pissy about the lack of men majoring in French or arts.

They're just pissy because technical fields generally make a shit load more money then the fields where women vastly out number the men.

Not voting is the same as voting AYE.

Obama was wrong, but at at least he bothered to vote.

And I'm proud to say that my congressman, one who I helped put in office, was one of the few to vote against then.

On the other hand the FISA amendments act is very vague.

Except this is not US jurisdiction and our bullshit surrendering of rights doesn't apply here.

I want to see what an EU court says about this. Under EU, Canadian or Mexican privacy laws are they allowed to prevent passengers from boarding a plane if they don't surrender their rights?

So we have an excuse for the in flight meals, what about the lousy taste of the food in the airport itself?

Give me enough booze and the quality of the food becomes less relevant.

I have a long term prediction for you. No matter how good technology gets, there's one disability that is not going to get fixed:

You can't fix stupid.

But the more important reason to preserve the current rules is a spiritual one.

I believe the words "Fuck off" come to mind as a response. You don't want time away from the silicon, fine, do it, turn off your device. But don't impose your spiritual voodoo on me.

So, Peter Bright, fuck off, because its none f your fucking business whether or not my electronics are turned on or off, and headphones + mp3 player are a good way of ignoring self-righteous assholes like you, even in the last 30 minutes of a flight.
