  They seem to change their minds a lot over at Fox News

  Do they not see the insanity of crying about overreach yet turning around and wanting the biggest overreach possible when there own man is in the White House?

  When Obama was President, did a week go by without them crying about something….anything that was “Government Overreach”?

• On the post: Cop Claims His Shooting Of An Unarmed Man Gave Him PTSD, Walks Off With A Medical Pension

  Question

  My question is going to seem like I am taking the cops side but I really am just wondering.....what exactly was the guy doing right before he was shot with his right hand? He did seem (and I could be wrong but I re-watched it a bunch of times) to suddenly throw his right arm back as if he was grabbing or doing something. Maybe I am wrong though.....I just was curious.

• On the post: IRS Identity Fraud Prevention Specialist Arrested For Identity Fraud, Filing Fraudulent Tax Returns

  

  iCleverUserName ( profile ), 05 Jan, 2016 @ 04:51am

  As someone who worked for the IRS, I am always surprised at these stories. I don't know how employees in/around me would be able to get such information without multiple systems alerting higher ups.
  
  I had the system alert my bosses several times and my requests were completely legal.
  
  I am not saying the story is wrong....I just have worked in several cities and thought I knew the IRS system fairly well.

  One would think that religious people would be outraged at life-saving drugs being kept at sky-rocketing prices so that most can't use them.
  
  Then again, according to some, Jesus loves the free market even more.

  Hilarious

  Republicans using the very government they "hate" to shut down a free-market corporation? Shocking

  Awesome. I can continue downloading shows in HD quality off bittorrent until they eventually allow me to pay for ad-free videos the day after airing?

• On the post: Netflix Says It'll Be Fine Without Net Neutrality Rules; But What About The Next Netflix?

  

  iCleverUserName ( profile ), 23 Jan, 2014 @ 04:43pm

  The pricing is already getting out of control and anyone who thinks Verizon, AT&T and others won't offer certain sites with good speeds....for extra $$$...is crazy, imo.
  
  I am close to cutting the cord and I am as big of a TV fanatic as there is.

• On the post: FCC Finally Starts Process To Dump NFL Blackouts

  

  iCleverUserName ( profile ), 28 Dec, 2013 @ 10:49pm

  Public Money

  My whole issue is why blackouts continue occurring on games in stadiums built at least 50% on taxpayer money. If the public is putting significant dollars into it, do they not have a right to see what they are paying for?
  
  If a team builds the stadium itself and puts together a team, I understand them wanting to protect their product (Not saying this is proper way to go about it...I am using their logic)....but the amount that cities are paying these days in terms of daily upkeep and building costs....is insane.
  
  "These 186 stadiums cost $53.0 billion in 2012 dollars, of which $32.2 billion?or 61 percent?was publicly financed." - http://deadspin.com/5964116/animated-infographic-watch-as-americas-stadiums-pile-up-on-the-backs-of-taxpayers

  Re:

  I don't disagree but the responses from the company seem to be so bizarre and off that I can't really seem to figure out if a young teenager is typing this because of the insults....or a foreigner that enjoys coming off as slightly coherent.

  Also found this googling the woman on facebook that states that she works at On Press Inc. It seems she has pissed off others as well (not really that surprising). I hadn't seen the other persons name though.

  "Just as a friendly reminder. when quoting someone elses work, be sure to site where the source is coming from or you too could deal with extra annoying emails from people such as Bill Slateson and Alexandria Hopewell from the alleged On Press Inc. heres their website, looks legit right? doubtful. How some people chose to spend their time is beyond me. http://onpressinc.com/"

  Did anyone notice that someone on Facebook has been using the regular language of On Press, Inc?
  
  http://www.facebook.com/jaincenter/posts/414795661941258
  
  Then you look at this woman's profile and it shows her work/employment as "On Press, Inc"
  
  I am curious if she is a supposed employee of these people

  "Don't you think Mike's personal beliefs matter?"
  
  On what? Tech news?
  
  Have you actually read his articles? I think virtually every writer here is pretty clear in their opinions in almost all articles.
  
  What specifically is lacking? Do you have any specific topics or posts that show this huge lack of personal belief?
  
  Also, do you understand how absolutely laughable it is that we are talking about this in relation to the story? It would be comical if not so pathetic

  You don't know his position on Copyright issues?
  
  Have you even read this blog before this idiot lady made a laughable claim?
  
  Trying to act big with the "You won't get rid of me!" type posts really doesn't make you anything other than someone so darn desperate to change the story from the stupidity of this woman to.....Mike's opinion on copyright which is very apparent from a reading of his stories here.

  BTW, why is Teri hiding behind these fake accounts with absurd "You don't give your opinion!" posts as if anyone here gives a hoot?
  
  We see this sites opinion virtually every day if not most articles....so I am not sure what in the hell that even means.
