    While carrying him back next door, Ardolf allegedly kissed the boy on the lips.

    You know what that word means, right?

  2. Why the sex offenders registration? on The Wi-Fi Hacking Neighbor From Hell · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The guy didn't download the CP for sexual purposes. He's not a paedophile, just a warped anti-social individual.

    That register is for people who have a proven (and acted upon) attraction to minors; Those who are a danger to children. Adding him to the list dilutes it and mitigates its usefulness. What he did should be covered by libel / defamation laws. He deserves to be taken out of society for what he did to that family, but there's nothing in there which supports the idea that he's dangerous sexual offender.

  6. ePoS terminals are clients on Ask Slashdot: An Open Handheld Terminal For Retail Stores? · · Score: 1

    It doesn't matter what they run. I helped develop an ePoS system for a public house running on LAMP, with the ePoS terminals bought on eBay running Damn Small Linux and various brand hand-held devices with wireless networking running WinMob, accessing different addresses for their respective interfaces. One of the only times I've done work in exchange for free beer! :D

    Conversely, once I've spent my entire knowledge and skillbase setting up your systems to be as bulletproof as possible, with multiple level contingencies and $ImpressiveTechnicalJargon, you're free to outsource my position to company in a developing nation for 1/10th my wage to do nothing but babysit cron jobs and remotely reboot a crashed switch.

    Building in a little safety net may not be the best for your business, but it's the best for me. Corporate $Country isn't looking out for the workers anymore, so they're having to look out for themselves. I'm not going to cost you hundreds of thousands of dollars in manufactured downtime and easily avoided failures, but by the same token I'm not going to have my damn hard work rewarded with redundancy because my setup is awesome and your boss wants to get a new Mercedes.

  9. Re:More on the budget on New IMF Head Says US Must Raise Debt Limit, or Face 'Nasty Consequences' · · Score: 1

    -When we have a surplus, state or federal there is a big push from our fools to give tax rebates and tax cuts INSTEAD of paying off the debt. This is what we do each time so the debt grows.

    So, you're telling me that Democracy works until the general public realise they can vote themselves largesse from the public coffers? I'm sure I've heard that before.

    So why do new release movies on DVD cost more than a deluxe cinema ticket? I would expect your "single experience" DVD to cost pennies compared to the costs of running a whole movie theatre.

    The Inverse Square law applies to fragmentation munitions. At 200m from the device, chances of a) encountering a piece of shrapnel, and b) that piece of shrapnel having sufficient kinetic energy to seriously wound, are incredibly slim.

    Want to work it out? 0.5(4/3[pi]r^3) for the radius of the blast, and divide that by the surface area of each piece of shrapnel. I'd wager you come out with a probability of contact around seven decimal places.

    You must not know about the "special relationship" the US and UK have.

    To put it bluntly (yet in a work-safe parlance), the UK gets the shaft in the wrong'un, and we get to agree to outrageous demand to extradite british nationals on flimsy "evidence" to a country which incarceration is big business in return.

    The Proles have their bread and circuses. They feel empowered because they pushed a Rage Against The Machine song to Christmas No. 1 in the charts.

  19. Re:Way before 1990 on Roundabout Revolution Sweeping US · · Score: 1

    Although a traffic circle is sometimes called a roundabout even in the U.S., U.S. traffic engineers make the distinction that in a roundabout entering traffic must always yield to traffic already in the circle, whereas in a traffic circle entering traffic is controlled by stop signs, or is not formally controlled.

    Uhh, forgive my language, but ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME?! Not formally controlled?!

    I disagree. Sticking with cars (as is appropriate here), I'd consider it a design error if the stereo volume control knob was a SPST switch, a manufacturing error if it was installed connected to the seating controls, and a programming error if it caused the drivers seat to fold completely flat, then completely fold forward, three times a second.
