Lol. Yeah...no. I didn't vote for Obama (aka the Jr. Senator who made people feel good about themselves by voting for him).
You know, I hate war and death and whatnot but some of the technology and equipment of the military gives me what I like to call a War Boner.
This gives me a Science Boner. That's god damn cool, looks like something you'd read about in a science fiction book 20 years ago.
You mean like pricing a Mac Pro $2k less than you can buy the individual parts for it?
Lol, you're Captain Current Events. I saw those articles too, but I realized instantly they were asinine. This is like saying the Chevy Volt was a steal at $50k because it would cost you at least $10M to build your own from scratch.
Good luck with the switch but the grass is pretty much DEAD on the other side of the lawn.
Better to frolic in (lol) DEAD grass than drink rotten kool-aid.
You know who appeals to "the law"? Assholes, that's who.
Right and wrong are different from "the law". Usually they line up pretty well, but in this case the law is wrong (none of Apple's patents are novel) so to appeal to it as the ultimate authority is ridiculous.

You respond with outrage because it makes you feel good about yourself. I respond with apathy because I don't care. Comme ci comme ca.
It's all about poor ego development. It makes people feel good to think that they are righting some wrong by attacking people like her, or like Paula Deen, or Phil Robertson, etc...
It's dreary. I can see getting upset if someone is inciting violence or making threats, or even pushing for e.g. anti-gay legislation. That matters.
What some random tweeter says? Who gives a fuck.
People talk about the typical "ask a question, inflame people" approach of the article, but the real answer is I don't care.
I genuinely just don't care about it. I don't harass anyone, don't care if you're white or black or asian or anything else. I also don't care if CS is discriminatory. If it isn't, good for it. If it is, that's fine too.
I'm too busy actually trying to get shit done.
The laser could target only one mortar at a time,
In the words of 15 year old sarcasm-meisters from 1989, "No Shit Sherlock?". Though I for one welcome the innovation of lasers which are broad enough to simultaneously detonate a bunch of mortars spread out over several hundred feet in 3D space.
You cracked the case, Angela Fucking Lansbury. From now on, any time the government does something to force us to do some inane jackshittery we can all sit around and tut-tut sarcastically about how that silly government makes us not murder one another.
Seriously, do you know what a tool you are?
Government intervention should be a last resort when there is a clear, compelling, and massive social benefit to a majority of the nation. Forcing people to buy LED/CFL bulbs when there is already pricing pressure (the cost of your power bill) to do so is hardly compelling.
I tell them to turn to the study of mathematics, for it is only there that they might escape the lusts of the flesh. -- Thomas Mann, "The Magic Mountain"
