  1. Re:Find a new site on Website Mass-Bans Users Who Mention AdBlock · · Score: 1

    Yes I noticed that as well when I tried it. Didn't get modpoints for a long while when I got plenty of them before. Now it's unchecked and I get modpoints in droves. Might still be coincidence though.

  2. Re:Prediction on Volcano Futures · · Score: 1

    That seems unlikely. Maybe I'm just naive but I'm pretty sure they will have thorough inspections of the engines after flying through the ash clouds. Not doing so could be catastrophic and I doubt any airline would risk it (not to mention they are supposed to do a lot of inspections before flights anyway).

  3. Re:The USA needs a "Pirate Party" on Entertainment Industry's Dystopia of the Future · · Score: 1

    The american pirate party does not have a complete program for every possible issue. You will have to look at the positions of individual candidates; just as you would if they were democrats or republicans.

  4. Re:Crazy Australians. on Oz Pirate Party Tells the Elderly How To Bypass the Net Filter · · Score: 1

    To frequent polling will cause apathy in the general population and only the most radical will want to vote on an issue. Also powerful groups like cults can make their members vote in a certain way and easily become a majority because of few voters.

    Wow... you have time to hit the stop button before google is loaded?!

  6. Re:And they told us consolodation was good... on Verizon CEO Says "We Will Hunt Heavy Users Down" · · Score: 3, Insightful

    What we really need is 10-20 cables running down the middle of the street, each one offering a different ISP.

    Oooor you could mandate sharing and achieve the same thing with a lot less waste.

  8. Re:Console vs PC on Game Devs On the Future of PC Gaming · · Score: 1

    You don't need the best video card to play games with quality equivalent to xbox 360... You probably couldn't get an equivalent computer for the same price as an xbox 360 but it wouldn't cost more than about twice as much at least (and as an anonymous poster pointed out, games are cheaper for pc).

    Are you serious? Why wouldn't there be? There are even celibate straight people.

    Things aren't as bad as they seem. The media gives a very skewed vision of reality (and it's increasingly getting more so).

    why isn't it simply being done electronically?

  14. Re:4Chan on China's Human Flesh Search Engine · · Score: 4, Informative

    The difference being the Chinese are motivated by a sense of moral justice (at least on the surface) instead of a nihilistic quest for lulz. Frankly I like the 4chan way better, seems more honest.

    They are also motivated by their love for cats.

  15. Re:512x4=4MB?? on Exploring Advanced Format Hard Drive Technology · · Score: 4, Informative

    It was never KB and never will be. kB perhaps but not KB.

    Apparently I was wrong (at least if you believe wikipedia)

  17. Re:Keeping proposed legislation secret on EU Privacy Chief Says ACTA Violates European Law · · Score: 1

    Laws similar to the FOIA are not uncommon among member states though unfortunately it is not universal and I don't think there is something like that on the EU level.

  19. Re:As opposite to making them unlawful ? on Push To End Online Gambling Ban Gains Steam · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Wow.... you obviously haven't done the math on that statement. Very large tax on people who are poor on math -> people with nothing to lose -> crime -> tax on everybody + general suckyness....

    How ironic that you would censor yourself there=P

  21. Re:Fuck ACTA on Making Sense of ACTA · · Score: 1, Informative

    Exactly why do Europeans care that we do not have national healthcare? They care because they see it as the US rejecting their ideals. I see the same people posting that they will be happy when the US collapses and it's people talk about how we should all have national healthcare.

    No, it's because we realize the stupidity and inefficiencies of your system and feel sorry for you.

    Questionable, in Stockholm it's great, in most medium cities it's okay, anything more rural it's often quite spotty.

    In Scania it is very good.
