Comment Re:They will never learn (Score 1) 276

There are no secrets.. They eventually get out.

Who killed Lincoln? Who killed JFK? Who planned 9/11?

Tip: money makes truths.

Lincoln? The guy my great-grand-uncle rented the horses to escape afterwards to. His name was Booth, a reputable actor at the time.

JFK? I'm sorry, but you're not cleared to know that. Let's just say Germans do very good work.

9-11? He's at the bottom of the ocean. Having Pakistan as your buddies won't save you from us.

Comment Was reading about this in Seattle Times (Score 1) 292

After thinking about it, as someone who worked at Microsoft and has friends who work there, I think Elon has a very good idea there.

Going off mission like Ballmer did the last decade may feel good, but it's the wrong direction.

I may prefer LibreOffice or some other solution other friends are working on, but they really need to shake up the doom spiral that Microsoft is in, and get their heads back in gear.

I know many people who still act as if they don't have Internet.

Shows like Spartacus and Game of Thrones are their only boob intake. And they will proudly tell you they will watch them almost solely for the boobs. And spend hours discussing how great the boobs are, if you give them a chance.

Looking this sort of thing up on the Internet apparently will offend the wife, or their inner sensibilities, or something. But seeing it on HBO is just a-OK.

We still live in an eerily puritanical society.

I mean, if jellyfish were planning to take over the world, they'd have the largest ones in the world in Puget Sound, where the Pacific Ocean is right next to Seattle ...

Oh.

Wait.

And we'd be bioengineering jellyfish genes into other DNA sequences here at the UW.

Um. ...

I for one welcome our Jellyfish Overlords!

Comment Re:Not to worry, the NSA already has copies of vid (Score 1) 180

It's hard to use something that has been on the front page of newspapers as blackmail material. "Oh no, if I don't do what you say you'll publish this information that was on the front page of the paper? Oh anything but that! What if someone finds out?"

Unless you release the vids on the internal networks in France and make sure they show up during broadcasts ..

Comment Dear Republican congressmen: (Score -1, Troll) 382

Crawl back into your caves, you fucking troglodyte shitholes. How the fuck do you think fire was invented? How about the fucking stone knife? Some dude pounded on some rocks to see what would happen. I'm sure he should have been gathering berries for his tribe instead, but no, he decided to fuck around with rocks. And what happened? Civilization happened, you barbarian asswipes.
