Russian Police Seize Kasparov

An anonymous reader writes "Russian police seized Garry Kasparov, the Russian chess champion, for staging a political rally against Vladimir Putin. IBM's Deep Blue computer was the first to beat a world champion when it defeated Kasparov, who is one of the strongest players in history." He's also been a giant critic of the Russian administration which is increasingly restricting free speech.

    Interesting choice of words, "against Putin."

    I didn't RTFA but have a passing familiarity with the context in Russia...

    One might have said, instead, "in opposition to", or "promoting a party which is an alternative to". But democracy is such a quaint concept these days - as Reichsleiter Gonzales might say. (Even the recent ouster of Australia's pygmy fascist Howard does not restore confidence, since that public already elected Howard twice, the second time unforgivably.)

  2. godless corepirate nazis seize weather/population by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    chilling the creators' little ones for just a bit more mammon.

    the lights are coming up all over now. pay attention. it's cost effective, & could help make the future brighter for all of us. don't forget to get a little more oxygen on yOUR brain, so you'll be alert when witnessing the big flash.

    there's lots to be done. the planet/population remains in crisis mode.

    we're intending (do not underestimate intentions) for the philistine nazi execrable to give up/fail even further, in attempting to control the 'weather', as well as a # of other things.

    micro management has never worked. it's an illness. tie that with life0cidal aggression & gangster style bullying, & what do we have? a greed/fear/ego based recipe for disaster.

    the creators will prevail. as it has always been.

    corepirate nazi execrable costs outweigh benefits
    (Score:-)mynuts won, the king is a fink)
    by ourselves on everyday 24/7

    as there are no benefits, just more&more death/debt & disruption.

    fortunately there's an 'army' of 'angels'(light bringers, for those who are afraid of/confused by heavenly stuff), coming yOUR way

    do not be dismayed, it is the way it was meant to be.

    the little ones/innocents must/will be protected.

    after the big flash, ALL of yOUR imaginary 'borders' may blur a bit?

    for each of the creators' innocents harmed (in any way), there is a debt that must/will be repaid by you/us, as the perpetrators/minions of unprecedented evile, will not be available after the big flash occurs.

    beware the illusionary smoke&mirrors.con

    all is not lost or forgotten.

    no need to fret (unless you're associated/joined at the hype with, unprecedented evile), it's all just a part of the creators' wwwildly popular, newclear powered, planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    or, it could be (literally) ground hog day, again? many of US are obviously not interested in how we appear (which is whoreabull) from the other side of the 'lens', or even from across the oceans.

    vote with (what's left in) yOUR wallet. help bring an end to unprecedented evile's manifestation through yOUR owned felonious corepirate nazi glowbull warmongering execrable.

    we still haven't read (here) about the 2/3'rds of you kids who are investigating/pursuing a spiritual/conscience/concious re-awakening, in amongst the 'stuff that matters'? another big surprise?

    some of US should consider ourselves very fortunate to be among those scheduled to survive after the big flash/implementation of the creators' wwwildly popular planet/population rescue initiative/mandate.

    it's right in the manual, 'world without end', etc....

    as we all ?know?, change is inevitable, & denying/ignoring gravity, logic, morality, etc..., is only possible, on a temporary basis.

    concern about the course of events that will occur should the life0cidal execrable fail to be intervened upon is in order.

    'do not be dismayed' (also from the manual). however, it's ok/recommended, to not attempt to live under/accept, fauxking nazi felon greed/fear/ego based pr ?firm? scriptdead mindphuking hypenosys.

    consult with/trust in yOUR creators. providing more than enough of everything for everyone (without any distracting/spiritdead personal gain motives), whilst badtolling unprecedented evile, using an unlimited supply of newclear power, since/until forever. see you there?

    "If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land."

  3. Mod GP "Funny" by Morosoph · · Score: 1, Offtopic
    There are no mod-points in "funny", and indeed a funny mod can lead to more punishment if it is followed by down-mods.

    Also, the authour is anonymous; what does it matter? Without a name, it matters little what the intent is. You don't even know whether the other reply to your post is the same guy! Despite my comments about punishment above (a disguised critique of the fact that funny can't at least cancel down-mods), there's no need to punish such people. If your find it funny, mod it accordingly! If they don't, then your mod takes on an ironic quality.

    Oops, didn't see the subject line of your post, sorry for the other reply...

    But yeah, I feel the need to try and make the more egregious trolls both look and feel like the degenerate fools they are. In my opinion half the reason things are look as dark as they do in the world (specifically my little corner of it, the US) is that people like the troll I'm setting flame to get away with pronouncing such utter bullshit without opposition. Oh, I know that ignoring them is a type of opposition, but when people hear (or read) such bile without someone else stepping in and pointing out how foolish it is, well, then that thought now has a spot in your head where it floats around without being solidly opposed. I just can't let memes like that go around programming people without trying to 'debug' it somewhat.
