  1. Re:Different strokes on Turkish Assembly Votes For Censoring of Web Sites · · Score: 1

    Emmigration costs money, which is your point, I believe, but immigration is much worse. Especially to the US.

    You need a VISA to come in to and stay in the US. Maybe you change your plans once you're there (e.g, you want to work, or you want to go to college, or something), but that probably involves going back to your country and requesting a new VISA... if they'll even give you one so soon after your last.

    Some immigration policies verily suck. I'd say all of them, but I bet I would have to take it back eventually.

    The results would probably be censored in those kinds of countries, though.

    The politically correct term for them is "travellers" in the UK, thank you very much...

  7. Re:New item. on Google 'Toilet ISP' Gag Not Without Precedent · · Score: 1

    Apparently, my sense of humour is too indirect [and sophisticated] for the /. audience.

    Let me rephrase my post...

    Subject: New item [on the spam menu].

    Spam, spam, spam, spam, spam, eggs, digested spam, and spam [-- why take regular old spam when you can have spam that's already been eaten? Our digested spam is collected from the finest sewers, through a process involving wires and robots, all for your visual (and nasal) delight! May contain methane.]

    OTOH, you might as well cue the obligatory "You must be new here" replies.

  8. Python on Morfik Patents AJAX Compiler · · Score: 1

    Aha, Python's not on the list!

    Must be too high-level.

  9. Re:As a Christian, I oppose this on Linux and OSS to Aid the Library of Congress · · Score: 1

    Well, it IS offensive.

    That's why it's modded as flamebait.

    I mean, honestly, putting communism and homosexuality together? Hah.

  10. baadweek on RIAA Can't Have Defendant's Son's Desktop · · Score: 1

    Maybe, like bacteria, the RIAA will evolve their strategy after failing enough times. Hopefully that doesn't mean rewriting copyright law. Oh, and a suggested tag: baadweek

  15. Re:Why would it drive demand? on PC Makers Say Vista Is Not a Seller · · Score: 1

    Most consumers won't buy Vista boxes until their old box breaks. So that's why Microsoft made XP so stable!
  16. Which is worse? on DHS Wants Master Key for DNS · · Score: 2, Interesting

    The fact that the US Government wants this key, or the fact that it has requested it publicly?

    Honestly...

  17. Re:It might just take a while on Using the Terahertz Spectrum for Wireless Communication · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Well, if Internet speeds keep getting better (which I'm sure they will), this could be used to make a faster Wi-Fi router. It shouldn't be too difficult in a few years. Amirite?

    Admittedly, I don't know if I am.
