  1. Re:So what on Windows 10 Now Showing Full Screen Ads On Lock Screen (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    Seriously, you can't see Microsoft going down the YouTube route with this? The next thing will be that you'll open your computer to login and have to wait through five seconds of advertising before you can click "Pay now" to get to the actual username/password prompt.

    I'm all for being intimate with my computer, but I'd like to be the one doing the fucking, not otherwise.

    But think about the convenience!
    We already know all about you, your relatives, your friends, what sites you visit, what you bought since installing Windows 10 and so on.
    We're just showing you relevant ads based on your profile.
    Don't worry, in our next upgrade we'll even order them for for you.

    You're doing it wrong. For home defense you need rate of fire.

    Note the AND between tatoo and chip. You must have tem both in order to work. It's not called 2 factor authentication for nothing.

    I'd say go one step forward: tatoo a barcode on everyone's forhead AND a chip inside the head.
    Forget the ATMs, think of the posibilities: easy tracking, no more anonimity in public, oh, the options are unlimited.
    No more muggins as it's quite hard to carry 2-3 severed head with you.

    Don't know about banks in your country, but in mine the interest rate is below real inflation + bank fees.

  13. It may be so, but if only 3 people were left in the world and 2 of them have a quarrel, the third must act as a judge.

  14. The population of the undeveloped parts of the world was simply not that high

    The 'kill ratio' or rate you talk about was greater during the colonial period, but the numbers weren't because there were not enough people to kill.

    We already have too much filtered news everywhere in the world because people ask for it.

    We don't want to have to think for ourself, it makes our heads hurt.

    If you are opposed to online ads why are you commenting on a website that finances itself through ads? Oh, wait, I thought you people had principles... oops. My bad.

    I do have principles and one of them is: no ads, thank you.
    If a site doesn't let me accesss it without disabling adblocking and/or enabling scripts from a shitload of third party domains then I don't access it.

    I beg to differ. What we need is clear laws, written in common terms.
    Then we can round up all the lawyers and send them up into the Sun.

    You can't require someone to act against their will. That is called slavery.

    Nope, it's called law.
    I don't want to pay taxes but I have to otherwise I will face fines or incarceration.
    I don't want to go to jail/be executed if I steal/kill/traffic something but I will if I get caught.
    I don't want to go 100 mph on the highway, I want to go 160, but I must, because it's the law.
    I want to smoke in public, but I can't. Shall I go on?
    So, you see, the state always requires someone to act against their will and we don't call it slavery.

  25. As far as I've been able to figure, Nazi Germany and Imperialist Japan murdered at a much greater rate than Communist China and the Soviet Union, but were stopped sooner. I'm not going to try to pick one out as better than the others, because they're all farther in the moral abyss than I'm willing to reach.
