Re: Ah, let me tell you about the EPA.

You have no idea as you morons welcome the hand of government up your skirts every day. You whiny "intellectuals" don't even comprehend the scale of the US let alone what happens when the government is way out of control and overstepping its bounds by trying to regulate what supposedly qualifies as "wetlands". Just because there is an occasional puddle once in a blue moon doesn't mean this land is a regulated "wetlands"

It's not hate for the environment, it's hate for an unjust and tyrannical government that has overreached and overregulated the lives of many ranchers and farmers. Those people were living on the land long before BLM existed.

Would it be too much to assume that any of you 'tards understand anything you comment blindly on?

I guess so....

Re: ssl/tls overly complex

Thanks Mike,

I appreciate an explanation like yours that goes into enough detail to be understandable while holding back on the unnecessarily technical baloney, user opinion and general BS we see from too many commentards.

Re: Lies from the Top

Have an upvote!

Cook is in cahoots with Obama, they want to blame the "lack of skilled workers" on anyone but themselves. When in fact that clown has already had 8 years to do something besides roll his eyes and bluster. The Dummycrats had their time and wasted it all.

Hopefully Republicans can shove that "Common Core" and "multicultural studies" vomit up his kiester.

A return to REAL education (Math Science) might be more realistic, rather than the current high school/college indoctrination into various forms of social misbehavior.

Dummycrats sure had a great idea, let's encourage our children, under the guise of education; to be the very antithesis of their parents belief structure. This poison starts in grade school and continues through college, leaving its adherents unable to work, unable to think, unable to act, EXCEPT in a truly spoiled brat entitled way. It breaks down the family unit and leaves these children without a moral compass. What better way to promote atheism and communism? Those are the specific goals of our so called educators and politicians! So they can create a new pool of feckless, helpless leeches to vote for them and suck on the proverbial teats of government. To me, it smacks of the re-education camps of China, Russia and North Korea.

Lets make everyone the same ala Madeleine L'Engles novels in the "Wrinkle in time" series written in 1963 that railed against conformity (prophetic this happened at a time when all this PC conformity was just beginning to take hold of colleges and schools everywhere).

We can all live in the same house, open the same door and play at the same time with the same ball, wear the same style and color clothes and say the same things.

Isn't FUN to be the same as everyone else and give up all independent thoughts and actions and ideals? If you conform, you don't even have to think anymore.

Doesn't that sound like a MAC-o-lyte to you?

You also give up the best parts of humanity, you are no longer exceptional as you aren't allowed to be better than anyone else. This is a farce and an outright lie of progressives. Humans should always strive to be better, otherwise humanity is doomed and progressivism/liberalism are the cause of our downfall.

Re: Really?

I agree Credas, but that doesn't mean that someone would not use the stolen identity of a child to create a credit record that did have those items.

Re: Internet of Things...

The problem is that many or most of these reservoirs/dams are out in the middle of nowhere and are usually unmanned except during infrequent maintenance periods.

Municipalities being the skinflints that they are, one reason why they are on the Internet is the fact that there is no such thing as a commonly available telephone modem that works under Windows 7 or greater, the other is that there may be as many as 500 to 600 miles between facilities and central operations.

Having them all on the Internet so they can be monitored or controlled is a big cost savings for the water board. Notice that I never said they were concerned about "security"?

Who the hell do you think works most often for municipalities anyway? That's right, the relatives of politicians, that's whom.

I think we all know where this is leading.

Clicksafe, what a misnomer!

Re: Cute

Christoph,

Are you tilting at invisible windmills trying to equate everything this country decides as being against foreigners? Since you so obviously don't understand US policy or politics please stop commenting about it.

All these people are complaining about is scummy business owners who want to bring in someone cheaper to replace them by misusing the visa program which is only supposed to be used when a company cannot find skilled workers. The caveat is that they could have found them in the US but would have to pay them more than slave wages.

I SINCERELY hope someone uses an H1B visa to do that to you personally!

Re: All you treehuggers need to look at the numbers.

Alan, What kind of idiot are you? They didn't take that barbaric statement out of the most recent printing of the Koran. It's still there and it is gullible fools like you that discount their murderous behavior that will end up being killed by what you are trying to protect.

Stop reading between the lines looking for mysterious meanings, the threat is plainly obvious and they want all non Muslims dead. Jihad means war and you are a fool.

Re: talented men and women from diverse backgrounds and every walk of life

So, too frikking bad D@v3!

Bring something else to the table besides mouths to feed. Especially if you want consideration as a NASA Astronaut.

So you want be part of an American Government Agency? Then prepare to be required to be an American citizen, you moron. I'm sure the qualifications in Russia and China are much the same. Or you can start your own space program.

Screw "multiculturalism and diversity" if the only thing they bring are whiny, ungrateful, ignorant dolts that have no skills, no income and no chance of producing either.

They provide no value in this case, none whatsoever.

Re: The US govt are more concerned by illegal drones than guns?!

Steve, You are mixing two unrelated arguments deliberately to bring up the subject of guns which are NOT part of the FAA's bailiwick and are not part of this article. Since you don't know your ass from your elbow, I will try to explain so you might comprehend the difference

Tools can not kill people by themselves, only humans can show an "intent" to kill; not tools such as guns or drones. They have no ability to aim and fire or fly themselves under normal circumstances.

They REQUIRE a human to make them operate and that is what the issue really is. A human must decide to pull the trigger in order for guns to fire; making the human the only responsible party in a crime.

Guns cannot be jailed for a crime, only humans can.

In the same way, a human must pilot the drone and direct it's flight path, making that human responsible for the drone and where it goes.

.

Not on your life will I vote for that lying CNUT!

Get out of US politics and go back under the rock you crawled out from.

Damn right we will vote for Donald Trump so we can stop flamers like you from getting any more political weight and ruining this country any further. He's not a lunatic, he's not mincing words like you wimps and he's telling the truth about the Muslim threat to this country.

FTR, if polls say Trump already has 1/3rd of the Republican vote, you can bet that there are another 30% who favor Trump that won't answer pollsters. Most pollsters in this country are liberal scum and skew the numbers in their favor anyway.

Hillary Clinton is already under investigation by the FBI for her lying and misuse of classified information exactly like the issues that Obama's Department of "Justice" prosecuted General Petraeus for. If he should have been prosecuted, then Hillary has committed far worse crimes than Petraeus did.

Re: this is a bunch of watermelons who want to stop anything (@Tom 7)

No, it's the bleeding Demoncrats you moron...really I can't understand how someone so uneducated and ignorant feels it is your constant duty to interject retarded comments that don't even belong in this argument.

The political party you mentioned does not even have "a dog in this race" and neither do you!

These are dyed in the wool dummycrats holding up progress here.

New York State in USA

went to "electronic" voting but with a paper ballot that is scanned into the system at the voting booth location.

The paper ballot shows all the candidates and provides a small circle next to each that you fill in with a black marker.

For an example, think SAT (Scholastic Aptitude) test form. Still can be verified as a paper ballot but much faster to count into the system.

The only thing I don't like is after this ballot is scanned in, you lose all traceability.

I would much prefer a method that would allow secure direct entry electronically by me from the comfort of my own computer. Something that I can verify and "watermark".

However, we would need a completely independent division of the State to administer such a system, one that includes the death penalty for ANY kind of fraud. Also needed would be a change to the entire voting system to truly allow "One Human, One Vote" and abolish the "Electoral College" that prevents that.

If that were a possibility, then the government could see results of citizen opinions on much more than just general elections and we could have a far more responsive government that was more in tune.

Good Lord man!

Next thing you'll be wanting is a drop down menu for fonts and text formatting.

Re: Personal Liability

Sears already did that in a wrench case. They also did something similar with Windshield wiper blades.

Apparently they have a long history of taking the devices they have been shown (patent applied for) and making small changes and filing new patents on

Re: Am I splitting hairs

I remember the same whining I hear today about the impending "activation requirement" for Windows XP as I do about everything that came after Win 7.

Michael, have an upvote.

I especially liked Windows 98 Second Edition as that had most of the bugs worked out of it compared to Win 95 and Win 98.

For blast of the past, take a look at www.mgdx.com

This guy put a lot of effort into mixing the updated Dll files from Win ME into Win 98 SE. Worked a charm and gave it new life. Still a great resource for those of us who have to resurrect ancient computers.

Although when I finally gave in and got XP Pro, I never looked back at 98SE. Now that I have Win 7 I feel I have gone full circle.

Re: Bad move

True, John

Males should NEVER let any Female determine the worth of comics, graphic novels or any other stuff they have no interest in.

My father collected comics until he went to WWII. His mother decided to clean his room out while he was gone so his first edition Superman went to the paper drive along with hundreds of others he had collected over the years. Let's not even get into the values of the bubble gum baseball cards from the 1920's and 30's that went into that same bin.

I beg to differ but they DID know EVERYTHING in my town @Keith R

Maybe the Doctor did not divulge that a certain unmarried someone was pregnant but his secretary sure did.

And so did the Bankers secretary and the Pharmacists assistant. There goes your rebuttal.

And the fact that Johnnie looked like the milkman rather than his "father" wasn't lost on anyone in the garden club or the church choir.

Realistically, those people had a better intelligence network than many today.

And for the record you use the word "revisionist" to refer to someone who is revising history.

Since you're still not old enough to pee standing up you obviously weren't there and wouldn't know.

I am old enough to remember and I was there!

Re: Cover story weirdness...

Trident is a submarine missile and you must be thinking of the old style ICBM that had to be in an underground missile silo. The Trident ICBM's use solid fuel & oxidizer as this is far safer on a submerged vessel. This is also the missile that the US wanted to put in space (since it can handle pressure it can handle vacuum too) and may already have. Funny thing that the cargo hold on the Space Shuttle is exactly the right size to fit six of them and their transport rack. And the Military still has some operational units.

A Liquid Fuel ICBM was originally the "Atlas" style and several later variations that used liquid fuel.

However, the color of the flames vary with altitude and velocity. At full speed and high altitude, the flame will be more blue than yellow.

Re: Is there any chance...

Are you really that much of a chicken shit coward that you can't even comment?

Do you cry real tears when someone says something you don't agree with?

Because this is one place where having a thick skin is de regere. Perhaps you should plug your ears and go back to hiding under the stairs.

And for the record, I don't care much about "popularity" as a measure of a persons worth.
