Link 2200 PS3’s together for a government super computer
The US military has announced plans to buy 2,200 more of the game consoles, so that they can massively beef up the processing power of an existing, PS3-based supercomputer. A “Justification Review Document,” which has oddly been deleted from Google since I found it but is still [...]
A Pirate’s Life For Me
Out of context this might make less sense. The UK passed what’s known as a “three strikes law”, if copyright holders accuse you of stealing their material more than 3 times you’ll lose your internet, the legislation they put through went even further, giving the author of the legislation power to kick suspected users [...]
Scientist Emails Are Facts
I have some important news to share. According to youtube, google and every major, and a few minor, news organizations out there, on the basis of a few scientists emailing information about climate change to each other, have determined that global warming is a hoax. That scientists using the word “trick” can only [...]
Google Me This
A while back I found a video of leaked google seaches that were poking fun of what the people searched for. This is totally different.

Gay Marriage Really Is a Slippery Slope
A Japanese man married a video game character. As a result he can now see her in the hospital when she has a virus (he has a character in the game, but it doesn’t mention if he knows anything about programming beyond the limitations of the engine he’s working in). Japan has come [...]
Re: Mammogram Rationing
So since the congress has voted to take away mammograms for all women (and men) and single out people to choose who gets cancer I’m starting to see the hypocrisy clearer now.
The complaint is that sometime in the future it may be possible for this group of doctors to monetarily control the relationship you have [...]
HR 1207 Debate
It starts off with Grayson, who joins Paul supporting HR 1207 to audit the fed, wanting to strip the provisions from this “Watt” amendment that essentially guts the audit of fed to a simple suggestion. This is the very first time I’ve ever seen an argument against auditing the fed that was more than [...]
ACORN “Abuse” – Not Journalism
Not Journalism
More ACORN tapes have surfaced, this one shows the “undercover agents” asking an ACORN employee about setting up their international prostitution ring that may involve children 14-18 but the catch is that they want to disguise the profits because one day they wish to run for political office. Oh boy.
So as you can [...]
Republicans Block “Credit Card Rate Freeze Act”
So if I remember right the entire purpose of the previous Credit Card act was to stop this from happening for no apparent reason, the legislation doesn’t go into effect until February but credit card companies have decided to use this time to hike rates and drop customers instead of “time to change systems”. [...]
What Happened to a Public OPTION?
Call me crazy but both bills out of the house and senate have an individual mandate. This isn’t a public option, it’s a public mandate to buy health insurance (though you do have an option that is not for profit but all government).
Individual Mandate – Senate – Yes, penalty of $750 by 2016 for [...]
