"I had their lower end Airforce helmet. In ever picture I ever saw of myself wearing it, it always looked weird on my head." - Eric Moritz

"I like the catlike whisper. The [Lazer Helium](http://www.lazerhelmets.com/medias...) or [O2 helmets](http://www.lazerhelmets.com/medias...) are pretty sweet looking too." - Eric Moritz

"MapMyRide is good for making cuesheets from your routes, other than that it's kinda cluttered. Garmin Connect is better for analyzing your data after a ride. I've never used RideWithGPS but like you said, it looks promising." - Eric Moritz

"Actually, doesn't congress set the budget?" - Eric Moritz

"The IRS collected $2.4 trillion this year. $364,871,668,800 / $2,400,000,000,000 = $0.15 If we set aside 15 freaking cents from the income collected from the IRS, everyone could eat for a year!" - Eric Moritz

"Here's a point of reference. There are 304,059,724 people in the United States. My household of 4 spends about $400/m on groceries. This is overly simplified, but we can extrapolate that 1 person could live on $100/m on groceries, $1200/yr. $304,059,724 * $1200 = $364,871,668,800 or $364 billion Every citizen of the US could eat for a year on 40% of the annual budget of Pentagon." - Eric Moritz

"No, I don't believe that a direct democracy would be better. In fact I have no idea what would be better. However, I'm not going to delude myself into believing I any real control over what my government does." - Eric Moritz

"You're definition of "a lot" is a little exaggerated. All I can do is vote and write letters and hope they listen. Despite a rep district being small, I'm still one voice in thousands. In my book, that is very little control over what my rep does. We live in a republic, any semblance of democracy is an illusion. All we can to is vote and plead that they'll do our bidding while lobbies with more power (i.e. money) are the ones with the actual influence." - Eric Moritz

"and my point is that we have little control over what our elected officials do. If we were a democracy, we'd have more power than we actually do in our federal republic." - Eric Moritz

""laissez-faire regulatory policy" isn't that a oxymoron?" - Eric Moritz

"we're not a democracy, we're a republic." - Eric Moritz

"Reddit as a whole isn't altruistic, we do things because they're hip. Take this for example: http://www.reddit.com/r... In his presentation, Splashy wasn't chosen because it's the most relevant choice. We chose it because it was funny and ironic. It became a meme and the power of the community fell in line behind it. In the end the entire community is one giant hipster in skinny jeans." - Eric Moritz

"That's fucked up. That was a really disturbing episode. It's amazing how much the mind can harm itself." - Eric Moritz

"I don't get it. Are you implying that he's gay?" - Eric Moritz

"He is one, sorry. He's a self-righteous prick. Another fool that pull a gun out during a snowball fight would go to jail. He was intimidating them and chest beating, trying to insight them. Did you watch the video? He needs to be fired." - Eric Moritz

"The nature of Samsara." - Eric Moritz

"I don't know if this was the intent of the editors, but her presence in a collection of such horrible photographs made me feel how petty and empty celebrity truly is in the grand scheme of a decade's worth of history. Though at the very least, celebrity distracts us enough to forget about all the shit going down around us. If religion is the opiate of the people, celebrity is our cocaine." - Eric Moritz

"It's that HTML5, they just changed the doctype and badabing! Awesomeness." - Eric Moritz

"I don't think human sexuality is so black and white. There's definitely folks who are genetically gay, just like there are folks that are genetically straight. There are also folks that are genetically straight or gay that choose to go against their nature just because they're not so hung up on attraction and see sex as an opportunity to get their rocks off. Then of course there are bisexuals that aren't genetically gay or straight and are sexually attracted to either gender. If attraction was needed to have sex, we wouldn't see drunken one night stands. I don't understand the whole choice vs nature debate since I don't see human sexuality as so black and white. It's neither definitely a choice or definitely genetic and shouldn't be part of any debate." - Eric Moritz

"There's a old DOS app called "Computer Narcotics" that supposedly uses Binaural tones to simulate drugs. Who knows if it's a placebo or not but there seemed to work in a short lived, mild way." - Eric Moritz

"Oh, here it is, http://www.packetstormsecurity.org/poisonp... I think it works with dosbox." - Eric Moritz

Hurray! - Eric Moritz

"When you get it in, say, "Hey, looks like you have a little Jewish in you"" - Eric Moritz

"Probably because we don't hear about the considerate hackers that contact the faulty site in secret." - Eric Moritz

"That wasn't a smart ass comment, I was sincerely saying, "I need to get an NVIDIA card" if I can get hardware accelerated video decoding in Linux. Currently I'm running XP as my media PC because I can us DXVA with [MPC-HC](http://mpc-hc.sourceforge.net/) I'd love to ditch XP and run Ubuntu" - Eric Moritz

"Well alright, I'm going to have to get an NVIDIA card then." - Eric Moritz
