So only 1% of the people who drive the car home to comparison shop between body shops or are waiting to hear from the other drivers insurance are screwed. Well then it is OK if their garage goes up in flames.

So why do we have crash tests? Oh right right, to use as evidence against the car companies the US government does not own.

If we applied science and we have test results ending with multiple cars catching on fire (even if delayed). Those results should either prove the car unsafe for the real world or discredit the test.

Don't steal it, patent it.

We in the US live in a republic, which, is much better than living in a democracy.

Just to be a dick, I'll point out that given we have a trading deficit, if no foreign countries wanted to trade with us, it seems reasonable that it would lead to more American jobs in the long run as we'd have to make things we needed and wanted here, instead of places like China. It would also hurt those holding cash (banks and insurance companies) the most and reduce pressure on those owning money. No doubt defaulting now would suck, but it would be better then our current model, which is to keep borrowing with no plan and a likely default in the future. The idea solution would of course be to cut spending to the point we are no longer borrowing.

Well, except for people, who can always stop buying products and services they don't want from corporations they didn't like. The only exception being Obamacare that requires we buy health insurance from really big, really wealthy insurance companies or pay a fine.

You're still in college aren't you?

We don't need universities or schools anymore. I have learned more about historic European and Russian firearms (something I find iteresting) and Linux (something that helps me earn a living) from youtube videos and online blogs and meetups than I have from countless books and experts who have come out of academia.

Truth, thankfully, is that a warrant is required to do a search, if a judge has a hard time understanding this, you can always go to a jury trial.

People who are pro-biomass, make me laugh. Isn't it more logical to use oil and natural gas first on this planet and then transition to biomass as it begins to run out? I believe the current supply of oil and coal came from something like 60 million years of tropical plants making that biomass and then 200 million years of it being converted into coal and oil. So whatever we could make in a year minus the energy it takes to get into a usable form, we have roughly 60 million times more in the ground and it requires less energy to get into a usable form. I know, I know there I go with logic again.

PS - C02 is not a pollutant or nearly as effective a greenhouse gas as say H20. Just ask your plants if they have a problem with C02 (Ok, that would be silly we all know the only plant that talks is marijuana after you have smoked enough of it's leaves). Carbon neutral, is code for give up more of your liberties. What is worse giving your rights and freedoms to the state (or worse world government) or having the temperature go up 1% in the next 100 years? That is assuming GW was real, which FYI it has gotten colder the last decade.

I would argue nuclear is the best solution. It has the smallest impact and the greatest potential for recycling and reusing materials. The problem with nuclear power is the fear people have about it.

You do know that green energy is the next economic bubble and Apple is an evil company, right?

I know people who call it "assembly" for short from my gen. Old school crew still call it "assembler". But everyone I know born after 1975, know calls it "assembly language" and "assembly" for short.

Some examples:

• Old school:
• • I used to program in assember and fit everything into 256K, because I wasn't spoiled with frameworks and run time environments and GBs of memory like you kids of today. Back in my day our only option was to compile our code twice before we could run it, while walking up hill both ways to work and school, at night because it was cheaper. It is Assembler, not assembly, but I don't expect you young trouble-makers to understand. Now get off my lawn ... I mean get off my lab bench.
  • Hey, if you kids really want to learn and gain experience programming in assembler, get yourself a Motorola 6800, in fact, I think I have a few chips and a breadboard you could have over in the that drawer. I really loved that chip and it is a great place to start, because it is 16bits.
• Gen X or later
• • That first guy was such a dickhead, getting upset, because I shorten "assembly language" to "assembly". I mean WTF is his problem, I don't know if I hate assembly because we have so many higher level programming languages or because he is just a tool that my negative feelings for him have tainted my perception of assembly code.
  • So the nice old guy who knows so much about the history of computers and programming suggested we get start with a 16 bit processor like the 6800, he even provided us with everything we need to get started. He made a joke as he gave us a three ring binder, commenting we could find everything we need online, but that binder has all his personal notes, documented gotchas and tricks in it. Interestingly enough I realized while we all call it "assembly" he refers to is a "assember".

By they I assume you mean the elitist 10% using Apple.

How Google Chrome of them.

You're retarded. Yes it is a right that was written down and recognized, because of the fact that a grass roots bunch of farmers grabbed their guns and kicked the piss out of the British regulars and pushed them back into Boston. This right doesn't go away, because we have an a standing army or not, or because you want it to, it's a social contract, it is a right, it is not a contingency plan.

Should the right to assembly and free speech "pretty much be thrown out" since we've wound up going with online forums and blogs? That is about as logical a statement as your argument, OK, it is a bit more logical, given that the right to assembly cannot truly exist without the right to bare arms.
