  1. Re:Copies are not you! on Dmitry Itskov Wants To Help You Live Forever Via an Android Avatar · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Another idiot that doesn't realize the difference between a copy and themself.

    Define "self".

    But crazy billionaires are the best chance for all of us to reach the Singularity! I feel a little ill after typing that.

  3. Re:Phone-based ransom-ware? on Apple's War Against Jailbreaking Now Makes Perfect Sense · · Score: 1

    It's funny really, in Australia all that is needed is an IMEI number to report to the police as stolen and the networks will prevent access. In America it appears that you need to agree to have your phone effectively owned by the company instead of you before they'll agree to shut it off.

    Or maybe because he was breaking the law. Not intentionally, but once notified if he'd continued then he becomes a criminal. According to your logic if he had a weapon, he'd be an armed criminal.

    There's 2 main different types of Marmite, the orignal British and a New Zealand version. There was a major shortage of the NZ variety after the Christchurch earthquake.

    Baby diapers will burn quite well, too, as that's mostly paper and plastics.

    From the summary "...pursue fines of up to $1.7 million for organizations that are repeatedly breached...", this act covers that eventuality.

    Parent has been modded troll? It wasn't OT, it wasn't a "frist post" although it did lack meaningful content... but most jokes or attempts at them do. I'm surprised by the modding on this occasion.

    So the inherent problem is with GOVERNMENT, not with ID cards and road pricing.

    Perhaps you would like to explain what is inherently wrong with ID cards, and road pricing... without descending into hysterics without justification?

    As long as they guarantee the right within reasonable boundaries, what's the problem with registering...? Unless you believe that your government is already fascist, in which case it's too late to worry about it.

    Check out which media mogul is leading the charge against these laws in both the UK and Australia... Rupert. I'm guessing that most of the stories in the MSM against these reforms are being led by News Ltd.

  18. The Netherlands on Where Can You Find an Electric Vehicle Charging Network? Estonia · · Score: 4, Interesting

    I just recently got back from the Netherlands and it amazed me how seriously they take charging points, they were everywhere. Along with high rise bicycle parks. I suppose when your country is mostly below sea level you take global warming and conservation as a proven fact. Simple countrywide risk management I suppose.

    No doubt it'll be structured that way to avoid liability for whatever parent group owns them. A nice little sock puppet to take all the risk and pass any reward on to the limited shareholding.

    Please note that most of the intervening countries aren't signatories to the UNHCR, and their lives are in danger if they stay there. I'd pay good money as well to flee a country that doesn't provide any protection to a refugee, if I HAD the money.
