    Arizona bill: gay discrimination or religious rights?

    I can't believe that anyone is okay with this. If you are fine with refusing service based on religious reasons, then would you be okay with a Muslim owned business requiring women to wear a Hijab?

    U.S. Appeals Court Killed Net Neutrality

    Why not simply let ISPs do QoS based on the type of application, but not on who is serving the data? For example, you can put any restriction you want on streaming video, but you have to apply the same rules to all streaming video (including any you happen to own). This will let them...

    House Dems "Nothing left to cut in budget — ‘the cupboard is bare’"

    FYI, the first thing in the Neocon Wikipedia article is: I'd agree the right has gone further right, but I wouldn't call that article evidence when it basically says it's biased at the beginning.

    Remember Zimmerman? Apparently he just pulled a family out of a car wreck.

    Wow he learned nothing. You are supposed to stay in your car and let bad things happen. I can't believe he stalked those people like that. They are just lucky they had a car crash before he could murder them.

    PSA: Taxes on ALL ONLINE purchases are imminent

    Amazon knows how hard it is to know what sales tax to charge for every municipality, county, and state in the country (and then to actually deal with sending them the money). They know this will make it harder for smaller competitors to do business. Why would they be against it?

    GOG D&D Dynamo Pack $21.10 All GOG D&D Games

    I own a bunch of them, but you still get the 80% off the ones you don't have. That is pretty awesome of them. (At least that's what the interface says)

    Obama smallest Government spender since Eisenhower

    I don't normally post, but did you even read the article? Above your graph it says: US Debt Accumulation by President: Based on time each President is in office (Erroneous Calendar Year) Above another graph that shows Obama in a much more favorable light it says: U.S. Debt Accumulation...

    The FACTS on Republican Gerrymandering.

    Look at the 4th and 17th congressional districts in IL and tell me that Democrats aren't just as bad. There needs to be better rules on how these districts are created. Wikipedia has some of the most blatant examples: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gerrymandering#Effect

    Judge: Mr. Hutz w've been in here for four hours. Do you have any evidence at all? Hutz: Well, Your Honor. We've plenty of hearsay and conjecture. Those are kinds of evidence.

    Should Chiropractic "medicine" be covered by a universal healthcare?

    I wouldn't take that seriously (and I wouldn't go back to that chiro). Like every profession there are some who make the rest look bad.

    Should Chiropractic "medicine" be covered by a universal healthcare?

    I go once every 3-6 months and it costs 60 bucks each time. How much is it for that hydrocodone?

    Should Chiropractic "medicine" be covered by a universal healthcare?

    I think it's funny that everyone hates on chiropractic care until they hurt their back and all traditional medicine will do is give you pain pills.

    When did "RPG" become synonymous with action games?

    RPG is a term that means less and less as games evolve. I'm not even sure it is truly a genre anymore. You can have RPG Elements such as getting new weapons (or upgrading them), and stats but do those really define a game?

    disclosing salary info to interviewers

    Give them all of them but the last one and tell them your last job had you sign a non-disclosure agreement that restricts you from giving pay information to a third party. They may not buy it, but that's the only way I can see you not telling them and still getting the job.

    What is the legality behind pirating and then buying a game?

    First of all any software I buy that doesn't work in my system should be returnable for a refund, period (well assuming the system meets the requirements on the box). If not then they are in violation of the implied warranty of the item. (and it could be considered fraud if they don't refund...

    The NFL rule shortfalls

    With the way they keep making defense harder and harder to play (can't hit the QB high, can't hit him low, can't touch the receiver after 5 yards, can't hit a defenseless receiver, can't lead with your helmet, etc), it makes the current overtime rules unfair. Play a quarter, make them play...

    Is homeownership truly better than renting?

    Where I live it's the exact opposite. I guess no one in this town has the credit rating to buy a house because the monthly payment is higher on renting.

    Do you tip if there's a "Delivery Surcharge" ?

    Delivery surcharge is to cover the cost of insurance for the drivers (they need insurance to cover them since the normal coverage on the driver's car doesn't cover commercial use), and the added cost of paying a delivery driver. If a place doesn't charge a delivery fee they are ripping off the...

    What are some good IT stories? And by good I mean horrific

    The best line I ever got from a user was, "Unlike IT, we actually use our computers." I wonder if she thought about that before she said it.

    How the hell does this happen? I lost sixteen pounds in one week.

    That sounds like losing water, but I can't image the whole 16 pounds was water. Personally, (as I hate doctors) I would wait a week and see if it levels out, but if it didn't I would see a doctor.

    How the hell does this happen? I lost sixteen pounds in one week.

    Your weight can fluctuate wildly during the day, I have lost 5-6 pounds in a day due to water fluctuations, but what you say you lost in a week isn't good. Did you highly reduce the number of calories you ate?

    The salaries they offer for the IT positions on craislist are laughable

    Nokia sues Apple

    From what I can tell, Nokia took so long because they were trying to negotiate with Apple in good faith. Once that fell apart then they decided that suing was the only way to go. I don't know the particulars, but in most tech industries you can't build anything without infringing on a...

    Do you tip if there's a "Delivery Surcharge" ?

    What I find funny is when I delivered pizza from a place that advertised "free delivery" people used that as an excuse not to tip. They would say, "Oh, it said free delivery so I assumed that meant no tip." What it comes down to is that everyone who doesn't want to tip will make excuses as...

    DVI to DVI Problem..

    This may not be the issue, but it's the best thing I can come up with. Most DVI ports send a legacy analog signal that analog adapters (VGA in this case) use instead of the digital signal. If the digital portion of your DVI port is broken but the analog portion is good, that could explain the...

    unions continue to show their scumbaggery

    Or use there bargaining power to do stupid crap like get the company to let them wear hats that have competitors logos on them, or fight the company because they can't smoke in the building anymore (state law). Both of those items almost got one of the unions in my town to strike. From what I...
