  on Senator Schumer Says Bitcoin Is Money Laundering
  I could have sworn that the difficulty went up and that drove prices. I used to be able to mine 3-4 BTC a week, now I'm down to maybe 1.

  That's a rather large leap.

  on NBC News Produces Propaganda Video Highlighting NBC's Views On Domain Seizures
  To be honest, I had to check a few times to see if this was really done by NBC, since the production quality is awful and really amateurish, the sound mix is dreadful and the background music is too loud and out of place -- something way below the standard that I've seen done by NBC in the past:
  
  This definitely wouldn't be something they'd put on television, notably because the video mentions MSNBC.com, most likely this was done by one of the websites' interns.

  on Senator Leahy Supports Bringing Drugs In From Canada... And Also Banning Such Sites From The Internet
  Or maybe he understands that the Pharmaceutical Market Access and Drug Safety Act will fix the issue wherein it will be wholly illegal to import drugs unless it is done by a registered company. Which would then mean that their website, since they are a registered company, would be legal to run and not subject to being shutdown.

  Maybe he's like the majority of average people that had the legalese in the act read to him and he didn't manage to connect the nearly invisible dots connecting these contradictions.

  The formatting on his website makes it pretty indistinguishable. But I also hope that it was intentional.

  on Judge: Hangover 2 Can Still Be Released; But Tattoo Artist May Prevail In The End
  I was referring to the origin:
  1590–1600; < Middle French, equivalent to pet ( er ) to break wind (derivative of pet < Latin pēditum a breaking wind, orig. neuter of past participle of pēdere to break wind) + -ard -ard

  Unless he meant that they were violent wind-breakers.

  How many characters do the closing and name field allow? I'd end up writing the a counter position in, or put a hyperlink to a pastebin entry.

  Bravo

  on An Open Letter To Sony CEO Howard Stringer
  You summed up my feelings exactly. While I never have time to game on the consoles anymore, I still consider myself a fanboy of all things Sony. Heck I've got one of those mini-disc players, a PSP, an XBR4 television, countless pairs of headphones, used to have a Hi-Fi system, still have a CD/Clock Radio thing. Now that I've seen the eye of the storm, I'm not so sure that I'll be their bannerman much longer.

  Procedural?

  on DHS Boss: 'Very, Very, Very Few People Get A Pat Down'; Reality: ~1.8 Million People Per Month
  According to the policy posted to their website:

  You will next walk through a metal detector, (or you may request a pat-down inspection instead). Additional screening occurs when an individual sets off the alarm on the metal detector, or if he or she is selected for the additional screening. This screening includes a hand-wand inspection in conjunction with a pat-down inspection that includes the torso. A pat-down inspection complements the hand-wand inspection. In order to ensure security, this inspection may include sensitive areas of the body. Security Officers are rigorously trained to maintain the highest levels of professionalism. You may request that your pat-down inspection be conducted in private.

  
  
  This seems like a bit much to go through however it stipulates that this only happens when you set off an alarm or request it. Sounds to me that there may be a few people out there that don't mind being touched so much.

  So if they yell, "Police! Open up! We have a Warrant!" that makes it less likely for you to pull a gun on them?

  It could be construed as anything having to do with the internet and the overall security therein.
