    women find sex repulsive, and so do anyone beyond the age of nineteen.

    Except one of my friends. She just borrowed a porn VHS from her teenage brother. Then again, she doesn't read /.

  4. That's exactly the quote I remembered on Ethernet at 10 Gbps · · Score: 1, Insightful

    when I saw the news item.

    I mean... there's no such thing as too much of anything in computers. When's the last time you said "Accursed be this high transfer rate" or "I wish the computer had less RAM so it would swap more!".

    Come on.

  5. It's fairly simple, AC on Just Add, Umm, Water · · Score: 1

    It is correct that our military is smaller, but there are only ~5 million of us. We spay way less per capita than the US on our army. The US spends nearly 4%* of their GNP on the military (and I suspect that figure does not include R&D, Homeland Security, CIA, etc.), whereas Denmark uses roughly 1½%*.

    The reason that our basic training is set to a higher bar is, logically, that we have a smaller army. The US army works thru the principle of redundancy; otherwise flak jackets (or better) would be standard issue to your troops in Iraq (and elsewhere). Having so small a military as we do simply means that we have to make sure that all parts can function at least somewhat autonomously, and that the least possible number of troops are lost or disabled in combat.
    I don't care how the President and Congress say they feel about military losses, they don't take proper care of their troops.

    STFU, mister AC, or get proper arguments. At least have the decency to step up to the plate with a name if you wish to tell me to get a clue.

  6. Not superior minds *inside* the military... on Just Add, Umm, Water · · Score: 1

    I mean, Danish privates are better trained than most American sergeants and lieutenants...

    It was both AC and formatted, I don't know what got into someone. Then again, I didn't have any problems getting onto the site.

  10. Nigerian bank account on 419ers Diversify Into Assassination Threats? · · Score: 1

    If not for any other reason, the diplomatic pressure could be aimed at making it harder for criminals to have anonymous bank accounts - and by anonymous, I also mean the accounts made on badly forged IDs.

    I would like to congratulate you on this special day, and I'm happy to say I've found the perfect gift for you this year (I'm really sorry about the awful ties last christmas)...

  16. "Most free"?! on Bobby Fischer Found · · Score: 1

    I'm not even going to go into that. Shit.
    Except one thing (which predates recent amendments to the US constitution):
    I can say "Wouldn't it be fun to see our prime minister get shot", and no federal agents would come knocking on my door.

    What I will get into is this:
    I gladly demonize the wealthy - I demonize everyone I see as morally fucked up. I mean, there are human beings who are starving to death while we're writing this, but if I look out my window, I'll see cars that cost more than two dozen Sudanese families make in five years. That really pisses me off.
    I live in one of the most heavily taxated countries in the world - and I feel fine about it. If I break my leg? No problem! My health insurance is included in my taxes. If it turns out that my knee has become useless, and I can't work? I get disability and benefits. If I get terminal cancer? No fuss with the insurance company about how much my insurance covers.

    And oh yeah, what made America rich is imperialistic war, just like the old european countries before. Jeez. You should study history and other political isms more closely before just letting the propaganda-machine rip.

    Oh, and get an account.

    Cost/benefit-analysis. It's called capitalism.
    Apart from that, Mac charges extra for everything, whereas doubling the price for the use of a free tool do not give extra money to pay the developers.

    And by all logic, Mac applications shouldn't exist.
