I consider myself a "god" in the computer realm and I re-use code on a daily basis.

I am not a biologist by any means. But I do have a strong enough understanding of science to understand that in reality, nothing will emerge from this lake that is hazardous to humans. Whatever lifeforms present in the lake will most likely be prokaryotic cells which do not have the capability of interacting the modern eukaryotic cells, since they have never had the chance to evolve into anything which has the potential to be damaging.

And as far as I am concerned, if someone is stupid enough to believe a Modded "Funny" comment on /. to be the absolute truth, then they should probably be banned from reproducing. It is not my job to "inform" the world about how non-dangerous any of this is. If people want to be educated, they can educate themselves. If they want to be stupid, they have that right too.

If you need me, I will be in my hermetically sealed Doomsday Bunker, just in case a vicious and contagious disease emerges.

But if the districts were determined by a logical algorithm, how could the politicians Gerrymander the elections? Politicians need job security too!!! /sarcasm

Is the sky blue?
Is the Easter Bunny real?
Do babies come from a stork?
Is this politician lying?

Baking soda and hydrogen peroxide is cheaper than C4.

You were in the Army? Cool story, bro.

That was not a drone. It was a video feed from an Apache. You are a complete idiot.

That technology is not installed on Apache helicopters. Drones, yes, but watch the video. The "kids" that you see on the tape are tiny white dots and there is no way to tell who/what those white dots were on the video.

You sir, are the one who has absolutely no idea what they are saying.
1. DOD does have an IG office. If you knew anything about the military, you would know that.
2. PFC Manning was a 96B (35F for you recent vets). That position comes with a security clearance. Each time someone is read on to a new unit, they have to get "read-on" to the facility where they work. Reading on is signing the agreement to not release classified information.
3. What's to stop an enlisted person from walking into a legislature's office? Their office buildings are public, anyone can walk into them.
4. The Huffington Post has press credentials. They are in the White House during their press briefings. So tell me more about the fact that websites do not have press credentials?
5. Your tin foil hat needs to be adjusted.

You are just an idiot. He's no Gary Gordon, Randy Shughart, Audie Murphy, or Daniel Inouye. Criteria for the Medal of Honor:
"distinguished himself conspicuously by gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of his life above and beyond the call of duty."

While engaged in action against an enemy of the United States
While engaged in military operations involving conflict with an opposing foreign force.
While serving with friendly foreign forces engaged in an armed conflict against an opposing armed force in which the United States is not a belligerent party.[73][74]

War crimes, I do not think that word means what you think it means.

I didn't see anything that was against the rules of engagement in Iraq in 2007. So how were two white dots supposed to be identified as children from 2+ miles away? Plus, what kind of irresponsible parents drives their kids to the site of an Apache attack 2 minutes later?

I am a terrorist, if you are the Roman Senate circa 72 B.C.

Thank you for making my point. Classified information was put into the PUBLIC DOMAIN by Bradley Manning. Therefore, he is on trial for that.

You are right, there is no such thing as registered, official press. I never said there was. Where do you people come up with crazy terms that I never used?
