  1. Re:Not just Win8 on German Government Warns Windows 8 Is an Unacceptable Security Risk · · Score: 1

    Yes of course. I misread it as "working with MS developers" not "working with the MS developers". My apologies.

    Which Microsoft software are you referring to? If you expect people that develop in ASP.NET to know how the Windows kernel works, do you also expect people who develop websites in OSS languages to know the intracacies of the Linux kernel?

    Nope you're a plutocracy.

    I so wish I had mod points right now.

  5. Re:Money and age on International Climate Panel Cites Near Certainty On Warming · · Score: 2

    There are quite a few countries in the EU bigger than the UK. Quite a few of those countries have managed to create decent public transport systems, something that the UK has been destroying for the past 5 decades.

  6. Re:Easy solution on Netflix Comes To Linux Web Browsers Via 'Pipelight' · · Score: 1

    Available without having to resort to technical trickery I mean.

  7. Re:Idiots on Info Leak Wars To Get Messier · · Score: 2

    There is however the European Convention of Human Rights and Fundamental Freedoms enshrined in UK law as the Human Rights Act 1998. It's not as good as the US Constitution but a lot better than what we had before it, despite the current view of it here as a terrorists' charter (oh the irony).

  8. Re:Easy solution on Netflix Comes To Linux Web Browsers Via 'Pipelight' · · Score: 1

    Netflix has one major advantage over Hulu. It's available in other countries.

  9. Re:When Paintball Guns are Outlawed... on Next Up: the Jamming Wars · · Score: 1, Informative

    Exactly. The right to bear arms didn't do Edward Snowden or Bradley Manning a fat lot of good either.

  10. Re:How many knew that it was a global release? on Despite Global Release, Breaking Bad Heavily Pirated · · Score: -1, Flamebait

    10 minutes lol. You're hilarious.

    You get the first month free and can cancel at any time. It's probably easier and quicker to do that than it is to torrent it.

    And Chrome, Safari, Firefox. Don't be a fucking retard.

    ASP.NET allows you to develop websites that work on a variety of browsers and platforms and Web services that can be called from any application you like. All hosted on IIS.

  14. Re:A sort of betrayal on Administration Seeks To Make Unauthorized Streaming A Felony · · Score: 1

    I don't get the reference.

    I just wondered why you thought this representative of the elite would be any better than the previous representative of the elite.

    Why?

    I think you should update this page then with the true reasons including all your references.

  19. Re:nature and consumers on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    Not in my case. In my case it's a reasoned opinion based on corners being cut in the name of profit. Now I didn't know about all those but when a member of my government speaks up in favour of it, then I know there's something fishy going on.

  20. It's simple on Monogamy May Have Evolved To Prevent Infanticide · · Score: 4, Funny

    Monogamy evolved because it makes great furniture.

    Imagine being suspicious of secretive multinational corporations. we all know they only have our best interests at heart after all,

  22. Re:nature and consumers on GMO Oranges? Altering a Fruit's DNA To Save It · · Score: 1

    However the multinational corporations (and their pet politicians) currently pushing this have shown time and again that they cannot be trusted to give a shit about people's welfare. Until that changes expect GMO to be viewed with extreme suspicion.

    Samsung have fixed this on their newest devices. My Note 2 received the patch a while ago.

    Journalists have a long history of lying to their readers but somehow they are still trusted implicitly.
