  1. Re: Trump just says stuff on Trump Says He'd Make Apple Build Computers In the US (businessinsider.com) · · Score: 2

    Reminds me of this phrase:
    "For every complex problem there is an answer that is clear, simple, and wrong."

  2. +1 for Rex Kramer reference

  3. Re:The moon could have been artificially created. on The Moon's Two Sides Look So Different Thanks To 4.5 Billion-Year-Old Physics (forbes.com) · · Score: 1

    But what about the distinct whooshing sound the moon makes when passing over your head? Can you explain that?

  4. Cut off ISIS oil sales on EU Set To Crack Down On Bitcoin and Anonymous Payments After Paris Attack (thestack.com) · · Score: 1

    More effective would be to go against the middlemen who buy oil from ISIS for half the market value and then make a nice profit by reselling it on the open market.

    Unless those middlemen are too big to fail and we can't do anything, of course.

    Power Armor has changed from the previous parts.
    Now its more like a vehicle, which you can use in addition to your other armor.

  7. In this case its mainly the European publishers.

    Oh and btw. it's not so much anti-Americanism but being tired of the "We can do what the fuck we want" attitude of your glorious leaders.

    I'm sure there are plenty of decent americans. Just not in politics.

  8. Re:Only criminals will use hyperlinks on The European Commission Is Preparing a Frontal Attack On the Hyperlink (juliareda.eu) · · Score: 1

    They should do a compromise, and allow some links to be copyrighted while others should be linkable. Private, copyrighted links should be like "http://server/privatepage.html_priv"

    Or they shouldn't put their shit on the web when they don't want it linked.

    Bookmark it and do not lose it.

    But don't forget to get a permission before bookmarking. A bookmark is a link too.

    In my opinion OP was spot on.

    Guns make you cocky - not polite.

    I admit though, a gun pointed at you can make you polite temporarily.

    There certainly is a little bit of distinction left between sending naken pics and murdering someone.

  15. Re:Happy, happy, joy, joy... on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 1

    Proportional representation fails where it is implemented because you always end up with fringe nutters getting seats.

    Under the assumption that parliament should represent the whole population I consider that a good thing.
    When a small part of population has a certain unpopular opinion, that should be reflected in parliament.
    Otherwise it's like taking the right to vote away from people you disag.. oh .. you actually propose that in your next sentence. Nothing I can do here I guess.

  16. Kids theese days on Cameron Tells Pornography Websites To Block Access By Children Or Face Closure · · Score: 1

    Only 10% of pubescent kids addicted to porn? Whats wrong with the rest?

  17. Isn't that because of the memory refresh, which wouldn't be needed for that kind of memory?

  18. Re:better late than never on Ex-TEPCO Officials To Be Indicted Over Fukushima · · Score: 2
    From the second linked article:

    When Japanese prosecutors bring charges on their own initiative, they win convictions more than 99 percent of the time, but cases forced on them by citizens’ review panels are different. Almost by definition, they involve charges that prosecutors saw little hope of proving.

  19. Re:don't trust new mega competitor on Interviews: Kim Dotcom Answers Your Questions · · Score: 1

    OP was probably referencing Kim Dotcoms first "enterprises"

    His early years seem to be missing from the english wikipedia page

    Here a translation of the relevant bits from the german version:

    He was a member of the then flourishing mailbox scene with its mailboxes "Beverly Hills BBS" and "House of Coolness BBS", where among other things, Warez were traded.
    It is said that he recorded the message of the users of this BBBs to gain inside information about weaknesses in the telephone system and software.
    He later ran a partyline which became a forum for phreakers in which he again collected the latest information by listening to its users.

    The term robot comes from Chech where it meant a slave laborer!

    I always thought it came from polish, meaning worker.

  21. Re:data-mining encrypted data? on MIT's Bitcoin-Inspired 'Enigma' Lets Computers Mine Encrypted Data · · Score: 1

    Still can't wrap my head around that.

    The one applying the data-mining computations will still not see the result, because it is still encrypted.

    or can you do some forms of statistical analysis on the encrypted data, which gets unencrypted results?

  22. Re:data-mining encrypted data? on MIT's Bitcoin-Inspired 'Enigma' Lets Computers Mine Encrypted Data · · Score: 1

    I think the original poster meant that doing operations on encrypted data is something else than data-mining.

    For data-mining you need to know the data. But the point here is that actually the one doing the operations does never see the results.

    How can you data-mine that?

    Bollocks. The United States of America is the nexus of true freedom in this universe. They love whistleblowers, I hear they want snowmen back to apologize to him about the whole misunderstanding and return the ill gotten rights of the government, obtained by one or two bad apples, to the citizens. Furthermore the USA would never resort to underhanded tactics like that. How could you be so insulting to such great nations? I dare you to find a SINGLE real world example!!!

    True story.
    In fact they are a prime example of selflessness.
    They brought so much justice and democracy to the world that nothing of it is left at home.
