  1. Re:Not surprising on FBI Sought Approval To Use Spyware Through FISC · · Score: 0, Troll

    "That's not necessarily a bad thing. It could be that the government only goes to the FISA court when they have solid evidence that supports a warrant. There isn't enough information available to determine what is going on with FISA." That's by design you idiot. It's a secret court! It is by its very nature a bad thing. This is not freedom. It is fear. It is opression. And when the government doesn't have solid evidence, then what do they do? They indiscriminently kill innocent people-- just like they have for 120,000 years.

    No. This means that we are the Harkonnen.

    "Further development in this field will lead not only to fewer pilot deaths, but oddly enough also to reduced defense spending." but probably increased "collateral damage"-- but that's ok-- they're not Merkan.

    "researchers are looking to birds and bats for insights" I, for one, am shocked.

  5. This is exactly why I hate GUIs on The GIMP UI Redesign · · Score: 4, Insightful

    They had better have a feature where the GUI looks exactly the same way it does now.

    I don't want to learn a new gui.

    Why would you need to keep the kernel current if you're using old hardware? Isn't it normal to run old OSes on old machines?

    You are a humorless pedant. You are also wrong.

    Wikipedia:

    "Godwin's Law (also known as Godwin's Rule of Nazi Analogies)[1] is an adage formulated by Mike Godwin in 1990. The law states:[2] As an online discussion grows longer, the probability of a comparison involving Nazis or Hitler approaches one. Godwin's law is often cited in online discussions as a caution against the use of inflammatory rhetoric or exaggerated comparisons. The rule does not make any statement as to whether any particular reference or comparison to Hitler or the Nazis might be appropriate, but only asserts that one arising is increasingly probable. It is precisely because such a comparison or reference may sometimes be appropriate, Godwin has argued,[3] that overuse of Nazi and Hitler comparisons should be avoided, because it robs the valid comparisons of their impact."

    Lighten up man.

    You know, I always thought Godwin's Law was a little tongue-in-cheek until today.

    There are only two choices. Don't blame me. I voted for Kodos.
