  1. Making fracking unprofitable on There Would Be No Iranian Nuclear Talks If Not For Fracking · · Score: 2

    How is making fracking unprofitable a negative thing?

  2. Re:Macs? Linux? on Why Internet Explorer Still Dominates South Korea. · · Score: 1

    No virtual machines in South Korea?

  3. Re:Sounds legit on German Report: Obama Aware of Merkel Spying Since 2010 · · Score: 1

    Yes, BILD is utter garbage, but sometimes they do land a scoop, for example, when they found out that Christian Wulff borrowed 250K to purchase his new home.

    Given the topic, I'm inclined to believe them.

  4. Re:What happens to non-essential staff? on U.S. Government: Sorry, We're Closed · · Score: 1

    Nah, not paying the non-essential people would be unfair as well because they were out of work through no fault of their own.

    Everybody should get paid and the essential people should get extra paid vacation days.

  5. Re:Example: Comments on online local newspaper on Can Internet Pseudonymity Be Saved? · · Score: 1

    So your dog isn't real?

  6. Re:What the fuck is going on? on FBI Admits It Controlled Tor Servers Behind Mass Malware Attack · · Score: 2

    Sweden cooperates closely with Five Eyes. Apparently, their intelligence service is out of control as well. Sorry, no links, but you can google it yourself. Incidentally, that brings a few incidents of the past into a new light, e.g., the raid on the pirate bay servers as well as the charges against Assange.

  7. Re:What do you mean by "can"? on How To Foil NSA Sabotage: Use a Dead Man's Switch · · Score: 1

    Well said.

  8. Re:Getting tired here on Most Tor Keys May Be Vulnerable To NSA Cracking · · Score: 3, Interesting

    Hackers can't afford to be apolitical anymore. It's what brought us to the current situation.

  9. Re:Impeach Obummer! on EFF Wins Release of Secret Court Opinion: NSA Surveillance Unconstitutional · · Score: 1

    Bush has been out of office for 5 years now. Obama owns this shit now. He may not be responsible for establishing the surveillance state (by some accounts that has been going on even before 9/11) but he's doing nothing to reign it in either.

    And once you've impeached Obama you can send Bush and his goons to The Hague.

  10. So they're building a system to BOSS us around on Public Facial Recognition Is Making Gains In Surveillance · · Score: 1

    You know you lost the war when the surveillance isn't subtle anymore.

    "If you want a vision of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a human face - forever."

    Excuse me, I'm gonna huddle in a corner and cry...

  11. I am paying 27,48 € per kwh.

    I don't mind by the high prices per se but by the exceptions that big energy consumers get from taxes. The whole point of rising prices is to incentivise lower consumption.

    BTW, I am with Lichtblick.

  12. Re:NO NO NO on Germany Produces Record-Breaking 5.1 Terawatt Hours of Solar Energy In One Month · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In case you haven't noticed: This is an article about SOLAR power, not COAL. Nobody in their right mind is proposing to keep using coal to get off nuclear. You don't have to chose between the two. Germany plans to get rid of both. And consistently bringing up the radiation danger of coal plants (which are based on a single study from the 70s and does not take current technology into account) in discussions about renewable energy is a straw man.

  13. Re:What's the point? on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 1

    That's great but Wikileaks is not a person but an organisation. Or do you mean to imply Wikileaks = Assange?

  14. Re:What's the point? on Wikileaks Releases A Massive "Insurance" File That No One Can Open · · Score: 1

    If Wikileaks has evidence of serious misconduct by high-ranking politicians it should stop being subtle about it and leak the info ASAP. I am under the impression that this is what Wikileaks is about.

  15. Re: Yuuuuucckkkkk! Bleah! Ugh! on What's Stopping Us From Eating Insects? · · Score: 1

    Maybe your preconceptions would change if you're stopped thinking about it and started doing it. In other words, it's all in your head.

  16. I wrote my thesis in Orgmode and converted it to LaTeX when finished. Orgmode is an outliner for Emacs which supports plain text formatting (e.g., *bold*, /italics/, etc.), lists, tables, images, code block, and everything else you could wish for.

    Since the file is plain text it is dead easy to edit. On the other hand, you have to use Emacs, so your non-geek friends are probably still out.

  17. Re:good on US Promises Not To Kill Or Torture Snowden · · Score: 2

    [citation please]

    It sounds to me like you've swallowed the American exceptionalism propaganda hook, line, and sinker.

    Or did you mean that Americans have never made the right decisions? Ah, logic, it is such a confusing invention.

  18. Just wow! on Current Doctor Who Warns Against Facebook · · Score: 1

    An actor who is afraid that other people play out their acting fantasies.

    What a dick.

  19. Re:Oh grow up on Whistleblowing IT Director Fired By FL State Attorney · · Score: 1

    The median of your 15 numbers is 5. If you randomly choose a number from that list half the time it will be below or equal to 5. That is the definition of median.

  20. Re: Offtopic on Smartphones May Help Reduce Traffic In the Near Future · · Score: 1

    Nah, it's different from hitchhiking horror movies because it's not random anymore as you've noticed. A serial killer could profile his victims using the car sharing social network.

  21. Offtopic on Smartphones May Help Reduce Traffic In the Near Future · · Score: 1

    A car sharing social network would make a great plot device for CSI:NY. And by great I mean stupid.

  22. Re:Translation is a copyright owner's exclusive ri on Police, Copyright Industry Raid Movie Subtitle Fansite · · Score: 1

    Exactly, you wouldn't want that. Which is why US publishers have always respected the copyright of UK publishers and paid them for their work. Oh, no wait, they didn't. In the 19th century, US publishers routinely republished UK titles without paying royalties. Only when US culture came to dominate the global market did they join in international copyright protection rackets^W schemes.

  23. Wrong name on HTTP 2.0 Will Be a Binary Protocol · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't it be called HBTP then? You know, HyperBinary Transfer Protocol.

  24. Not surprising. on According To YouGov Poll, Snowden Support Declining Among Americans · · Score: 1

    Snowden is a traitor! The nice man on the TV told me so.

  25. Re:Snowdon is not on the plane to Havana on Wikileaks Aiding Snowden - Chinese Social Media Divided - Relations Strained · · Score: 1

    On what grounds would a country deny a plane with Snowdon on board to fly over its territory? It's not that he's contagious.
