  1. Re:what a waste on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    Seriously, spending so much time, effort, money and resources on something so utterly useless.

    Maybe they didn't spend that much time, etc? They just made a beowulf cluster of smaller bombs.

  2. Re:Fighting terrorists with bombs on Russia Tests World's Largest Non-Nuclear Bomb · · Score: 1

    I don't agree that your statement is valid in all situations. It depends on which people you kill. There's a big difference i.e US killing iraqi civillians by accident, and russians killing russian civilians by accident. I agree that the first will create more terrorism, but the latter is a rather good deterrant for terrorist. The reason that terrorism is more effective against US, is that the government will go to any length to defend it's citizens. The russians will go to any length to defend it's territory, regardless civillian loss. The russians showed this mentality in the Moscow theater incident, when they used gas to paralyze everyone in the building. When the terrorist where taken out, they didn't bother to give the hostages proper medical treatment and many died. I don't mean that they are doing it better than the west are, but the lack of respect for human life that you usually find in russia makes terrorism less effective.

  6. Re:your analysis is incomplete and wrong on California Blocks RFID Implants In Workers · · Score: 1

    so why choose a more expensive, more likely to be rendered useless, more invasive method such as RFID tagging people?

    I think "invasive" is a key word. The pointed-hair people in the RFID-implant-demading coorporatins would love to know where their employees are at all times.

  7. Re:The US Navy Is Not Such A Secret on Virtual Earth Exposes Nuclear Sub's Secret · · Score: 2, Interesting

    During my time in the norwegian military, there was also the rumour that a Norwgian sub "sunk" the Enterprise. The US navy supposedly demanded a coverup, but norwegian officers were too proud to keep quiet.

    The way they did it was that they turned the engine off and waited (in a strategic place) for a big boat to come close enough.

  8. Other telcos should support it on Anonymous Programmers Reveal iPhone Unlocking Software · · Score: 1

    Other telcos could start supporting the extra functionality like voicemail for the iphone. Then we will begin to see ads like "works with iphone!", and apple would start to sell their own (better looking) crack.
