    Sure. Poop will slide from roof right onto a window.

  2. Re:I guess ... on Netflix Pondering Peer-to-Peer Technology For Streaming Video · · Score: 1

    Why would they do it ? They will whitelist most popular ones and if customer complains about speed on different speed tested, they will blame the site and advise to test on whitelisted one.

  3. Re:Booo, America sucks on Administration Ordered To Divulge Legal Basis For Killing Americans With Drones · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Bravo! USA is finally taking its well deserved place among countries like China and North Korea.

  4. Re:Militia, then vs now on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    Quite interesting, thanks for pointing this out.

  5. Re:Militia, then vs now on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 2

    If it was fundamental right, there would be no point in explicitly granting it in constitutional amendment.

  6. Re:The Canadian Exodus.... on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    It reminds me of how religious people treat whatever is written in their holy books as arguments:

    - how DARE you question me! It is clearly WRITTEN here in god's own words so it must be true!
    - everything should be read literally as fact?
    - um, well. You have to interpret it right so it means what I want it to mean. Then it is obvious that I am right.

    Why downmodding? That's all you idiots worshipping 2nd amendment seem to ignore: either take it as it is written (with no limit on weapon types) or don't use it as argument at all.
    So what it will be: disarmament or ICBM (with complimentary sarin canister) for everybody?

  8. Re:The Canadian Exodus.... on Retired SCOTUS Justice Wants To 'Fix' the Second Amendment · · Score: 1

    And what gives you right to draw any lines? 2nd amendment does not specify 'only some weapons'. Either you accept the amendment as it is written or you don't get to use it to support gun ownership.

    Please stop being a bigot and trying to limit my PERSONAL rights!

    Why not? Your "right" got introduced in constitutional amendment and another amendment can remove it - if enough people agree.

    Sure. You go first. I will be right behind, supporting you with tweets and facebook posts.

    For many managers it is breaking news.

  12. Re:I hate these numbers on UN Report Reveals Odds of Being Murdered Country By Country · · Score: 1

    Do you seriously pay taxes under name "holophrastic"? What country allows this?

  13. Re:I hate these numbers on UN Report Reveals Odds of Being Murdered Country By Country · · Score: 1

    Parents are in general source of official name. Of course you are free to sign your post with any combination of characters instead of your actual name, but then why do you have such a problem with 'Anonymous Coward'?

  14. Re:I hate these numbers on UN Report Reveals Odds of Being Murdered Country By Country · · Score: 4, Funny

    Damn, your parents really hated you to give you name like 'holophrastic'.

  15. Re:And no charges will be filed on Hewlett-Packard Admits To International Bribery and Money Laundering Schemes · · Score: 2

    From TFA: "The Polish government has elected to charge several individuals — both from HP and the government — in criminal cases in an investigation related to the guilty plea from HP" . So charges in fact have been filed, just not in USA.

    Nurse! Patient calling himself 'anonymous coward' has complete break from reality again.

    Does it include right to demand any particular mode of travel? You can always walk. See you in a month or three.

    Great justification. You don't mind if I kill you, right? You are going to die sooner or later anyway.

    Good. Fallback in case of security is just another word for insecurity.

  20. Re:First amendment only applies to our friends on Some Mozilla Employees Demand New CEO Step Down · · Score: 1

    They are trying to create enough of public shitstorm to pressure board of directors to fire Eich. Not all that much different.

  21. Re:First amendment only applies to our friends on Some Mozilla Employees Demand New CEO Step Down · · Score: 1

    Or maybe Eich is not a drama queen with huge chip on his shoulder and he will simply hire the best qualified person he can find for the job.

    Quite easy considering that UK is island country. Transport them to a nearest shore and expel them 20 miles forward.

    Even checkbox 'don't ask for password for 15 minutes' (checked by default) would fix it. It is not damn rocket science.

  24. Re:Just start the war already! on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 2

    They knew damn well that they are not going to win alone. They were pinning down and bleeding majority of German army waiting for French and British forces to roll in from west. Maybe WW2 would be over in several months if only supposed allies had guts and basic decency to honour their obligations.

  25. Re:Riiiight on Ukraine May Have To Rearm With Nuclear Weapons Says Ukrainian MP · · Score: 1

    The moment Russians think that Ukraine is seriously trying to build a nuke, it WILL become shooting war. And not just to capture Crimea and (maybe) eastern part of Ukraine, but to unconditional surrender of whole country.
