That smacks of Illuminati conspiracy theories. The Internet is a complete cesspool of half baked conspiracy theories that the mentally stressed or ill should not be exposed to. Information overload.

The military really needs to deprogram these guys and integrate them back into the population. I would propose a type of "Combat Engineering" program, to shift these guys into some good paying, hard working jobs back home, via prepping them for things like road construction. We need to rework the infrastructure, unless we are just going to let the country fall into a vast wasteland. I present to you the concept of a Trans Americas Highway system, to tie the entire continents of North and South America together. A big project, but very handy for developing this part of the world. It's what advanced civilizations do.

That or something like it, to burn off a decade of war stress, by building something. Let's build it here, fuck them. They need to build something.

May as well start hanging people is right, but not for stealing movies and music.

The real crime here is a 675 thousand dollar judgement for 30 dollars worth of product. The criminals are the lawyers, judges and politicians.

I'm a hard core computer gamer, and a forum warrior. I am hell on keyboards. With that said, I have been through a G15, it served well for years, before one of the keys sticking. I replaced it with a G19 that is serving well as we speak. I had one of their G5 mice for years. I have a story for that one.

The G5 gaming mouse finally started going bad on me, and at the worst possible time it seemed in my games. Hence sending me to high levels of pissed off rage, I had a replacement in hand when it at last pissed me off for the last time. Instead of hanging on to it like a pack rat, I let my rage have a run and went to destroy it and toss it in the garbage. I figured it would be cathartic.

So there I am, swinging this mouse by the cord like it's a flail. I bring it down on the hard kitchen tile for the death blow, expecting it to shatter into pieces. It didn't. I was like wtf? So began the rage of repeated slams on the floor. I stop and examine my handy work, and just one of the mouse buttons is skewed off to the side and broke. I could have beat someone to death with it. Jesus! So I pitched it quickly in the trash before it decided to have it's turn with me. lol.

I was impressed and wanted another one, but they had stopped making them that well and I got a cheap assed, reissue of it that didn't impress me at all. If you come across one of those older G5, the high end ones, with the weights you can put in it, those are Dinobot tough.

My current mouse is a Razor Naga. The mouse is handy for MMO's and such, but the fucking SOFTWARE controlling it is god damn annoying as fucking humanly possible. You have to LOG IN to some server on the Internet to get your profiles. Yes, you read right. HAVE TO FUCKING LOG IN FOR YOUR PROFILE. The mouse is awesome or I would be writing them with instructions on how they could jam their mice and software far up their asses. If I find a mouse that I like close to as much as the Naga, I will be sending those instructions. That is unless they have a palace revolt and give me some software that doesn't make me feel like my damn mouse company is watching me like some damn creepy fucks. When this Naga goes, they can suck a bag of dicks, I'm done with them.

A washable keyboard is something to look into. Here's the burning question, will the damn thing last long enough that it needs washing? I normally advise people to just get a cheap keyboard and chuck it when it gets dirty. I've taken a few of them apart, it's not worth it, unless you are dirt poor, AND cheap.

Our help? How often is "our help" nothing more than glorified carpetbaggers wrapped in flags of diplomacy? We don't have friends, we have interests. We don't call it imperialism when its a corporation. How fucking handy, huh?

Have you been following what it's like in Russia? I mean even if you don't give one human fuck about them, then at least be concerned about how their well being can be used against you? If the ways of the West prove to be a poison to these people, they will hate us. I don't know about you, but I could do without that kind of potential problem. At least consider how their organized crime has become a monster. These elements have no respect for diplomacy, rules, boundaries, decency.

As far as profits are concerned? Why aren't we smart enough to flip the industrial war machine into a industrial space program? Peace can be massively profitable for everyone, where as war is hell. It's illogical as fuck, people need slapped.

Look you goofy bastards, all of you.

The Cold War ends, do you think the nukes magically vanished into thin air? What do you think happens to nukes when the commander of the base is out farming potatoes to not starve to death? In Capitalist Russian, everything is for sale? Have you ever heard any numbers on how many rogue nukes are floating around from that era? Who the fuck needed to build one when they had a garage sale on them?

You see, establishing healthy relationships with your neighbors in the world is a good thing. The world is a very small place, and we have better things to do than be fucking around with reptile brained, neolithic concepts of property and war, when the clock is ticking against us with global problems. You have to look to the horizon and see the bigger picture. This isn't about imperialism, it's about propagating the universe by getting our asses collectively to space. There are resources there for us all to chew on like Pacman. We need us all out there, we all make up the human equation. Once you poke your head up off the ground and look at things from a bigger perspective, and dare to dream, you might see it too.

The last time I saw pussy riot was when I changed cat foods.

You can play it several different ways.

Arresting a national hero like that probably wasn't the wisest thing to do. We are talking a Russian Chess Champion, something which is what we measure high end super computers against.

Frankly, I don't think we should be concerned about Russian internal politics. We the People, of America don't seem to have our own government in control. Somebody's driving it, but damn it, it's not us apparently.

It's not checkmate for anyone but Pussy Riot. Western decadence will not be tolerated I am sure.

We have nobody to thank but ourselves. We win the Cold War, and then let them rot because we were gloating dicks. We have more in common with them than we can imagine, and damn far more to gain by working together than fighting. Why is that oligarchies, that really controls us, have such short sighted, fear-biting, knuckledraggers leading them?

I wrote a paper on him for this gorgeous blonde who was struggling for one of her requisite classes for nursing. I got to help the world have another pretty, dumb blonde nurse, you are welcome world. I also got to read up on this guy, he's the superhero of science. The reason we don't know about him is because of the Cold War, you couldn't say nice things about people from that neighborhood. If you are my age or older and went through it, you will know wtf I am on about.

Sadly we've never given credit where credit is due. What I want to know is, have the FBI ever turned loose all of his papers that they ransacked from his dwelling when he died? I don't want whacked for asking, forget I said anything if it's sensitive. At some point in time as a student of things engineering since I was a crafty ornery lad, I would love to see his later works that he kept. Or not, you know what I mean. They are probably in a PDF some place, and I have missed them, like walking by a barn looking for it.

What kind of sensors in cell phones? Are they talking about sniffing out nukes? Are we aware of the sensors in our cell phones? Or are we to be used like some cheesy Batman plot, with some agency/entity sniffing at our phones? Why stop there? Let's sniff out drugs, firearms, etc. Once all of that is gone, then we can work on people's attitudes, we can detect anger management problems. If you use the wrong language, it will know.

I am a minimalist when it comes to this kind of use of technology. Sure it sounds all fine and dandy for now, but it never goes away and the problem that it was created for will. That leaves an irresistible tool in the wrong hands each and every time. It doesn't go away, and there is always some asshole improving it.

And of course this only sets us up for a major problem if an A.I. gets off it's reservation. Think Skynet, sure we can laugh now, but are we not building up to something like that or even something more fucked up? Nobody listens to the "crazy guy" until it's way too late. I was bitching about weather pattern changes and the threat of global warming back in the 80s. It's not so fucking funny now is it?

Apple: Litigate and Legislate, not Innovate.

And they have the Chinese make it.

In summary: Fuck you, Apple.

The problem is people are hysterical retards who flip the fuck out over stupid shit.

If anyone bothers to read this, (and this is an old story already, been done at Reddit) they will discover that it was due to be taken down in a half an hour. It was a half an hour early, BIG FUCKING DEAL. It's highly doubtful that they would have got the 2500 signatures in that time anyway. Besides these petitions are only for letting them know what people are on about, to get a public opinion. They don't set policy.

This is a none issue, only made an issue by hysterical paranoid loons.

What if in the rush to fill all of those orders, some chicken was undercooked and had some of that virus lurking around in it when someone sank teeth into it? So we end up with a chicken virus in a vast number of those out for "Chick-Fil-A appreciation day", we get to call that God's wrath? Does God hate haters?

Irony? Hypothetical, but imagine if it happened.

Cannibalism, shooting sprees galore, acid-in-the-face attacks, etc; please don't give 'em any ideas.

Wow, couple that with the Citizens United ruling and we have a SCOTUS that is in a race to the bottom.
