    Exactly. But none is going to do it, publish it or sell it. And it would most likely be banned right away.

  2. Re:Not so fast.. on Russia Recalls Modern Warfare 2 · · Score: 2

    You do not think in a full picture either. USA/UK took a lot longer to come to far, because they had to mobilize their units. Russia didn't really have time for that, as Nazis we're already coming and attacking. They had to fight with lots of casualties to keep them away, and if they didn't the whole war and world could be a lot different now. Nazi's would had a lot more power if they had crushed Russians before US/UK came to war.

    Just turn it around. Try to even think about the uproar if some game developer released a game where Americans are associated with terrorism and the famous "No Russian" level would take part in lets say New York Airport, instead of Moscow.

    What does this have to do with history?

    If you have played the game, its clear it makes Americans seem as the true, innocent heroes fighting against bad bad Russia. Even after so long after Cold War Americans still have the type of thinking that Russians are The Evil.

    The war is started by Makarov's set up, but its clear the whole game romanticizes Americans.

    Google generates much much more than a million dollars to the top 1000 e-commerce websites, and in a few days. This has to be a joke.

    The Pirate Bay, Mininova and Isohunt too? Good, now we finally settled the issue about if the sites are running just to make money, instead of being some kind of freedom fighters.

    There's also a DDoS possibility, since the remote computer can send a 50 byte message that results in the DNS server getting 4 kilobytes of data back to query it. DDoS'r does many of those and your network is filled with that crap.

    Why would a cable/adsl modem have an open recursive DNS server? There's not a single reason for that - either use your ISP's autodefined DNS servers, change them to something else or set up your own.

    Exactly, and I fail to see how vodka+red bull would have tremendous side effects on people any more than other liquor.

    Beer mixed with coffee sounds quite horrible. In fact, anything mixed with beer does.

  15. Re:Mines a vodka and red bull... on Caffeinated Alcoholic Drinks May Be Illegal · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Or will they start monitoring in stores now that you wont buy vodka and red bull at the same time?

    It's also interesting that alcohol is being kept legal while it has a lot more health issues than like cannabis, like heart disease, dementia, cancer, alcoholism, diabetes, strokes and then the usual ones like hangover and weight problems. It seems it should be other way around.

    That being said, I prefer good vodka (Russian Standard Vodka) over beer any day. Usually the best mix is just some smashed ice and lime. I used to mix with red bull, but it tastes like shit now.

  16. Re:Why bother? on URL Shorteners Get Some Backup · · Score: 1

    Only time I use url shortening services is when I need to paste a url with cyrillic or non-ascii characters and the program or website doesn't support them. For example Steam breaks the link and cant show characters, so you have a non-working link. Same thing here on Slashdot. For that kind of thing it works ok.

    (tho arguably programs/websites should just fix their goddamn utf-8 support)

    Seems his facebook status update alibi is in connection with what witnesses said too;

    Bradford and witnesses insisted he was innocent. They said he was at his father's Harlem apartment when the crime occurred.

    So it's not only about the status update. Also, I would think a murder case would get more investigation than a robbery too.

  19. Re:Of course, there is another solution on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    The russians have already found aliens, but they're actually living in earth.

    The Russian navy has declassified its records of encounters with unidentified objects technologically surpassing anything humanity ever built, reports Svobodnaya Pressa news website.

    “Fifty percent of UFO encounters are connected with oceans. Fifteen more – with lakes. So UFOs tend to stick to the water,” he said.

    On one occasion a nuclear submarine, which was on a combat mission in the Pacific Ocean, detected six unknown objects. After the crew failed to leave behind their pursuers by maneuvering, the captain ordered to surface. The objects followed suit, took to the air, and flew away.

    “On several occasions the instruments gave reading of material objects moving at incredible speed. Calculations showed speeds of about 230 knots, of 400 kph. Speeding so fast is a challenge even on the surface. But water resistance is much higher. It was like the objects defied the laws of physics. There’s only one explanation: the creatures who built them far surpass us in development,” Beketov said.

    “Ocean UFOs often show up wherever our or NATO’s fleets concentrate. Near Bahamas, Bermudas, Puerto Rico. They are most often seen in the deepest part of the Atlantic Ocean, in the southern part of the Bermuda Triangle, and also in the Caribbean Sea.”

    Another place where people often report UFO encounters is Russia’s Lake Baikal, the deepest fresh water body in the world. Fishermen tell of powerful lights coming from the deep and objects flying up from the water.“

    I think about underwater bases and say: why not? Nothing should be discarded,” says Vladimir Azhazha. “Skepticism is the easiest way: believe nothing, do nothing. People rarely visit great depths. So it’s very important to analyze what they encounter there.”

  20. Re:Of course, there is another solution on Vatican Debates Possibility of Alien Life · · Score: 1

    Well, if the universe would be running in a computer simulation, theres nothing stopping the simulator to hide all the information we would need from people. This is also true if there was a god.

    I actually believe more in the computer simulator thing than there being some god. The argument that it would require a massive supercomputer to simulate everything on earth and universe also makes little next to none a valid argument, considering how fast we're generating and improving technology and that the calculation power can essentially be infinite. We just base our views on our technology.

    Of course we could just be living in some aliens "ant aquarium" in his living room.

    It's actually pretty funny Google itself didn't see this coming. Results in Google for go programming language are about the existing Go! language and the main developers book about it.

    "We recently became aware of the Go! issue and are now looking into the matter further," a company spokesperson said in an e-mail.
