  1. Re:Human rights advocate? on McAfee Is Doing a Live Broadcast Tonight · · Score: 1

    Also, how do you know he hasn't done this crime?

    I bet he does not. He probably is just one of those old school "Innocent until proven guilty" hippies.

  2. Re:Apple bashing on Australian Police Warn That Apple Maps Could Get Someone Killed · · Score: 2

    So you're saying that people shouldn't trust a multibillion dollar company vs a company say tomtom whose worth a 1/500th (if not less)? meanwhile a company like Google which is supposedly valued at half the value of Apple can be trusted?

    How is the net worth of a company connected to its trustworthiness?
    I don't see a correlation there. (Or at least not a positive one)

  3. Prior art on Verizon Patents Eavesdropping Using Your TV For Ad Targeting · · Score: 5, Funny

    Isn't there prior art from 1984?
    (I leave it to you if I meant the year or a certain novell)

    In other new where are all my line breaks going??

    You have to pray for them.
    Or if you are a more realistic person you can use html <br> tags or switch to "plain old text" under options.

    I like its color.

    To put it yet another way: you are both correct. (until someone measures one of you)

  7. Re:If I recall..... on Quantum Teleportation Sends Information 143 Kilometers · · Score: 1

    Oh, I don't know... seems to me that's a great way to generate private encryption keys at 2 different locations without having to worry about anyone capturing those keys in transit.

    The entagled photons have still to travel to both parties.

    Why shouldn't it be possible to measure one of them on its way and thus gain the key?

    Is there a way to notice if a measurement was taken on it?

    The enemies in Skyrim aren't scaled to your level. This was only the case in Oblivion.

  11. Re:Or WikiLeaks Pulled Its Own Plug... on Wikileaks DDoSed Again · · Score: 1
    actually there seems to be intent
    http://justice4assange.com/US-Extradition.html

    29 February 2012: Stratfor e-mails have revealed that a sealed indictment has been issued by a secret grand jury in Alexandria, Virginia, for Julian Assange. The email is dated 26 January 2011. This means that there has likely been a sealed extradition order for over a year, which will be activated (unsealed) against Assange in Sweden, Australia and the UK when the US Government gives the order.

  12. Re:Awesome! on Australian Billionaire Wants To Build Jurassic Park-Style Resort · · Score: 2

    Notice how no one's actually tried to take over the world lately?

    No - just policing the world and snatching a few resources here and there.

    That should be able to overwrite it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ta3QRz9ghbI&feature=related

  14. Land of the smiles on Giant Mech Robots From Japan · · Score: 1

    ..., and its 6,000 round-per-minute BB Gatling guns are controlled with the pilot's smile

    This gives the term "land of the smiles" a totally different meaning.

  15. Re:Doesn't surprise me one bit on IFPI Won't Share Pirate Bay Damages With Musicians · · Score: 1

    Sounds much like the german GEMA

    Thanks to them a large portion of youtube videos with music isn't accessible from a german IP adress.

    Their latest coup was changing their billing system which led to 5 to 10 times the fees for discotheques and clubs.

    no - now he's the plane man

  17. Re:Garzon on Spanish Superjudge To Represent Assange · · Score: 2

    When you represent an organization which is acting against american interests, attention whoring is probably a matter of survival. And from my point of view Julian assange tries to get attention for the ideals of governmental openness and transparency. Which basically seems like a good thing to me.

    And anyway how do you punish a robot that has not protected its own existence?

    The same way you punish a successful suicide bomber.

  23. Re:God's experiment in free will on Debate Over Evolution Will Soon Be History, Says Leakey · · Score: 2

    Just that atheism isn't comparable to Religion.
    Those tyrants like Hitler, Stalin and Mao didn't build their regimes because atheism told them.

    It's not a believe system that tries to teach you what is good and what is evil. Atheism is the simple recognition that you don't need supernatural phenomenon, like an almighty creator, to explain this world.

    An Atheist has to get his ideas about what is good behavior and what is bad from somewhere else.
    Even partly from religion.
    I think the moral values of western civilisations are much influenced by the stories of Jesus from the new testament.
    And I even think they are great examples of open minded behavior and treating others like you want to be treated yourself.
    I don't think those are "true stories". But that doesn't change their value as moral examples at all.

    Oh and by the way - throw away the old testament right away. So much blood and gore there. That stuff isn't for minors.

    The Link in the comment of the article was quite interesting.

    Basically stating that there is nothing statistical about quantum phenomenon and that Bohr got it wrong after all (to my limited understanding).

    Slightly off topic but that reminds me of an old joke from the DDR.
