WTF?

re:steven hunter

Where do you think the profits go? They money goes back to the homeland. Sure there are some small benifits, but nothing for the LONG term. Get it?

Jesus christ all, get off the spelling high horse. Im not going to waste my fucking time to make these little snippets perfect in spelling. If thats all you worry about in these little forums? If so, I worry more about that than the kids who really cant speel, er spell.

USA Citizen

As a USA citizen I am appauled by the lack of interest in this country for both Science and engineering. NASA should be in the top ten agengies that get US funds in this country but in reallity its ranking is more like 400. Our kids in this current generation are dumber than a box of hammers but they want to make a desent living. You cant do that when you cant count to ten. Although rappers have been succesful for years in making that type of money.

Stupid tax programs----Our stupid "Cash for Clunkers" program desighned to help the ailing auto industry and others like them only sent billions of dollars to over-seas auto manufactures. These are the types of programs that eat into the meat of the USA and destroys us from the inside out. We are being sold out by a bunch of low IQ morons who are getting rich based on these insane programs.

These idiotic programs should be diverted to colleges and there teachers, thats where the future lays. But that will never happen as long as we have special interst lobbiest--which should be outlawed, and politicians and CEO's who sell out their country for a few bucks.

God damn them all.

WTF?

And the bill goes to?

Who is going to pay for all this?

I have this problem with people who want to go green. Those people are the ones poised to make the most money by going green. And the rest of us are left to pick up the tab. Im not going green any time soon until this changes.

We, as a wolrd should have been green from the initial industrial revolution to now, but those greedy little shoe horns took everything and left the envirenment the way it is now. I see no reason why we should be left with the tab.

FSF launches Windows 7 anti-upgrade letter campaign

FSF driver please

What these FSF people fail to mention in going with a OS like linux is that lack of drivers and API's. We havea lot of propriatary hardware that only runs on Windows. Sure, going open source would be great but only if every one else did. And thats not going to happen.

Japan torture flick sickens UK film censor

And they lived happily ever after.

So, in effect, the BBFC should have banned and cencored the 9/11 attacks, all and any war coverage, and the 6pm news, even things in that so-called great book--the bible.

It just grates me that any group of people whether government or private people, has the right to ban, censor, etc... anyother group or people.

This Movie is nothing new. The things in it have been going on since humans have lived on this planet and to say that banning will make for a better society is just plain hog-wash.

Sad

Whats really sad about these and other fines is that the actual artist see none of that money. Its the suit and ties with wingtip bastards that get all the money. And we all know how much talent they have.

Too-tall terror snapper stopped by cops again

Just the begining

If this were happening in my country these cops might be looking down the barrel of a .45 then turned over to their supervisors while placed under citizens arrest.

In many states you can legally carry a concealed weapon. In my state of Michigan I carry a .45 auto by Para-Ord. Me and others who "carry" work with our police dept. to deter crime and keep our police honest, well, most of the time anyways. But, as they say, "absolute power corrupts absolutley".

It's amazing how much respect I get from law enforcment when confronted. I wish everyone could see the look on a cops face when they realize they are talking with someone who is armed the same as they are--legally. Very funny indeed. Very equalizing and puts everyone on the same level. Because I have found that all cops think they know everything, thats what they think anyways, in all countries. Its amazing what happends when issues a badge. Your assumed IQ goes up 100 points--perceved in their head.

In case you're all wondering how crazy Americans gets a license to carry. See this site, this is where I took the class for the test.

BTW, I carry a camera also.

To bad there is no site for cops to teach them how to treat the people they are supposed to protect.

Good luck to all in the protest--I hope you all make changes for the better. Here in the states we are fighting this STUPID patriot act. An act to prevent "terrorist" from doing what ever they do...ya right....more power for the politicians and law enforcement. Thats what it is.

Net sleuth calls eBay on carpet over shill bidding

You all have options

Dont use Ebay. Its that simple.

One poster said ebay has no reason to prevent shill bidding as it promotes higher revenues for ebay. I agree 100%. Ebay is just as guilty as the shill bidder.
