Comment comprimise on the volume of requests (Score -1) 301

Let's limit them to shooting incidents, police or bad guy. (No, that is not redundant). Of course we would have to have clear codification of what constitutes destruction of evidence. Maybe someone should develop a tiny ccd camera built into guns. That should satisfy the gun control crowd as well as the "hunters".
Seriously, you people call yourself a society? You are farm dwellers. As in Animal Farm. Sorry, if you don't get the multiple references, you'll have to read books that don't start with the word Face.
Attention moderators: ready, FIRE! , aim.

Nemesis doesn't exist. It was a worthwhile theory, intriguing in fact. But they looked and didn't find it. They expanded the variables of mass and brightness in the hope of prolonging the project, but it didn't help. Now I suppose all that is left is getting back to understanding how earth oscillating through the center of the galactic plane on one of Orion's arms effects climate more than exhaling CO2.
Besides, Nemesis was proposed for objects in the Oort cloud, not the Kuiper belt.

Holy smokes. What did you do to make them take away your graduation status?
All I know is Branson's insurance premiums are going way up, and I'm gonna be the guy that pays for it. Insurance companies profit even more than health care workers from other peoples pain and suffering. I hope Nancy Pelosi signs up for one of these flights. Maybe we can fly her to Africa to visit the troops.
and leave her there.

Comment Windows 8.1 is better than Windows 7 (Score -1, Informative) 192

The same dopes that can't find a start button couldn't find their ass with both hands.
If you are still running xp, that is fine with me, just don't get into a discussion about modern computing.
If you are running Linux, don't get into a discussion about something you know nothing.
Once you do a few tests and actually use the software, you will realize windows 8.1 runs faster and better than Windows 7.

Well yes, but this way they can coninue to suffer the same fate they inflicted on Compaq. The company that brought you the 386 was reduced to whoring itself with consumer grade plastic crap built peddled and supported by foreigners. Of course Packard used to have an almost revered name before Fiorina, with Whitman, it's just pathetic. Maybe HP should build rockets, how much worse could they be?

Don't single him out, the number of dopes posting about things they don't use and have no experience with is legion. Idiot probably uses systemd for good measure. Sorry to throw that non-sequitor in there, but systemd is the edith keeler of debian. If it doesn't die our future will be broken. Linus himself may collapse into a statistical nondeterminate improbability. And nobody wants that.
