    We love them for it. Wish more countries did that as well.

  2. Adblock dejunking your interwebs on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    Just make an ad-block filter like so: |http://www.facebook.com/*
    If you are unwise enough to want to look at facebook you can whitelist the domain. This way facebook addins are blocked on all sites, save for when you are on facebook itself.

    Additionally you can ad-block the entire "social sites buttons" div and everything in it.

  3. In other news on Facebook Is Down · · Score: 1

    People with soul rejoice all over the world.

    Edison is a dick.

  6. Re:What makes XYZ TV so special? on Google TV Next Month, Boxee In November · · Score: 1

    Nothing, it's just a damned tvtuner with a remote. a hard disk and connector ports. It's a DVR for those that want to just buy a box and hook it up and have it work.

  7. Re:Where will I put it? on Google TV Next Month, Boxee In November · · Score: 1

    Put it on it's proper edges. It doesn't have to stand the way they are showing you.
    Glue GI Joe and Warhammer minis to the sloped edge or something.

  8. Re:I want google TV in my TV on Google TV Next Month, Boxee In November · · Score: 1

    Have you tried to cram hardware in a small PC case? We need that space exactly becouse the PC is modular. If you don't like it get a mini-itx.

  9. Re:Flamebait on EU Surveillance Studies Disclosed By Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    The EU doesn't have to impose anythings, the countries here are happy enough to do everything by themselves...

  10. Re:Athors are from Slovakia on EU Surveillance Studies Disclosed By Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    I guess some one should visit the authors and remind them of the freedoms they enjoy today.

  11. Re:Yes but? on HDR Video a Reality · · Score: 1

    Trust me you want porn capturing equipment to stay the way it is. You do not want to be staring at the tiny hairs in glorious future resolutions and HDR exposure magic.

  12. Re:HDR? on HDR Video a Reality · · Score: 2, Insightful

    HDR looks so unreal even if at times aesthetically pleasing. Their "more real" filter didn't do the scene much justice too.
    Was the guy supposed to look that way?

  13. Re:Dumb Question.... on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    Malice? Script kiddies grinding their teeth? People hate people?

    Working with people has made me jaded and callous but not enough to start writing viruses.

  14. Re:People still fall for this? on New Email Worm Squirming Through Windows Users' Inboxes · · Score: 1

    If you still use outlook you deserve to get what is coming for you.

  15. Re:Hey, lets burn some books!!! on Rackspace Shuts Down Quran-Burning Church's Sites · · Score: 1

    Digital books can be copied and redistributed with ease, you can burn flags if you want they are just a symbol. Books are knowledge. You should donate your old books instead of throwing them away but that is more of a suggestion.

    Your browser cache is irrelevant. You should aim to preserve rare information even if it is in digital form.

    I have a problem with specifically burning books. And when I say you I mean we, as a people.

    You can look at it from a polytheistic point of view. ( To steal an idea from D&D: ) You can have many gods in a universe, if the rules are so that they grow in strength with the number of followers they have and if these three are hateful fucks they might as well tell their followers they are the ONE TRUE GOD and that you shall have no god before them. But after all this is all theoretical.

    Burning books is not ok. Burning books should be a criminal act punishable by a hefty fine and/or prison.

    Way to go Sweden. This makes me loose even more faith in humanity.

  25. Re:Hold Me, I'm Scared on Freetype Lands In... Microsoft Office? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I respectfully disagree. Science is about knowledge. There is no world even among the fictional ones and theoretical universes that can not be studied, even theoretically.
