    This might be a more useful comparison. This plot of porn and sex, ranked by sex, shows the countries that are most affected.

  5. Einstein on rail guns on World's Most Powerful Rail Gun Delivered to US Navy · · Score: 4, Insightful

    I don't know if World War III will be fought with railguns or belt-fed airport screening devices, but World War IV will be fought with sticks and stones.

  6. Also on Suppresed Video of Japanese Reactor Sodium Leak · · Score: 4, Funny

    Wiki leaks server suffers a meltdown after 9.1 MB video gets slashdotted.

    I don't get. We have had, in theory, the protocols to make cryptographically secure verifiable & anonymous e-voting for years now, and yet it hasn't been implemented.

    A bunch of hungover CS undergrads with 24 hours till their deadline, would come up with a better e-voting implementation than the hopelessly naive excuses spewed up by diebold et al.

    From the page linked from TFA:

    "It is such a strong urge to type the domain name into the address bar and see what website comes up. Most users think perhaps there is already a company using the name and this will be a quick end to the question. Wrong! This is the most dangerous thing to do.
