  1. Re:Five years?! on China Plans To End Executed Prisoner Organ Donations Within 5 Years · · Score: 1

    Those organs would be LOST anyway... Their not beating their wife, they save peoples by ripping of organs from those who actually killed their wife or someone else. Sound good to me. It should be "We'll stop when we'll be able to grow them in lab" instead.

    We should do that here too, as long as we can't grow theses in lab for cheap.

  2. Can we grab tons of energy? on One In Eight Chance of a Financially Catastrophic Solar Storm By 2020 · · Score: 1

    I don't know what I'm talking about at all, since physics isn't my field at all, but could it be possible to use this event to capture insane amount of energy?

  3. This should be done worldwide on Japan Plans To Merge Major Science Bodies · · Score: 1

    This should be done worldwide, not just in Japan.

    Science discoveries should be flagged as GNU stuff, free for all or every country who contribute to the common knowledge.

    But that won't happen anytime soon...

  4. Re:Can we end the CRTC already on Outgoing CRTC Head Says Technology Is Eroding Canadian Culture · · Score: 2

    What canadian culture is ?

    -1 Big families (this one is phasing out)
    -2 Religion (this one is phasing out)
    -3 Living with nature (this one is phasing out)
    -4 Food stuff (bacon, "tourtiere" and special thing like thoses ) (this one is phasing out)
    -5 85% english 15% french (this one is phasing out)
    -6 Hockey, and it's not phasing out...
    -7 Try to propagate peace and stuff like that beyond the world, which appear to be phasing out.

    So you can resume the entire canadian culture with only 1 word : HOCKEY. it's sad.

  10. Re:Signs point to on Was .NET All a Mistake? · · Score: 0

    .Net isn't a fail. .Net is a revamped J++ with a new interface ripped from Delphi, and it does the job well. And due to many M$ fanboy, it's used here and there, running interpreted code while it's not even helpfull (no crossplatform = what's the need to be interpreted?)
    I dunno why M$ didn't bought Borland instead of "Embarcadero" (not sure of the spelling)... .Net with native compilation would have been the best of both world.

    But for now, I'll stick with C++, maintaining and adding features to some old shit ;)
