  1. Re:they don't want real broadband... on Major Carriers Shun Broadband Stimulus · · Score: 1

    american internet is around 8 to 10 times more expensive elsewhere and it's actually non-functional. where i live i can get 100mbps cable Internet for only $60, vs what in the US? 600?.. and it's actually commercial here too, there simply is NO competition in america just why your health-care stinks (our system is also commercial and it works! it scores higher than anything else, and yes it's regulated by the government but it works... the government here is only a observer of law, if a company fails they get a penalty and if a market lacks competition we'll find a way to make it competitive (America in general is anti-competitive in it's nature, and that's why everything including health/social/tech usually failed in the past) if your government either runs things or 1 gigantic monopoly runs it, of course it isn't going to work.. time to grow the fuck up and start regulating your market, and stop bitching and start working on it! (elect some more socially economical thinking people instead of truly idiotic capitalists scums of the universe, and you will see that America can be a competitive market). social economics, has nothing to do with communism (if that's how your 2 dimensional mind thinks), think instead of spend "it works here, time for you learn from others for a change!".

  2. name 1 really new thing. on XP Users Are Willing To Give Windows 7 a Chance · · Score: 0, Troll

    name 1 really new thing. and no DirectX11 isn't one of them as that's also going to ship to vista... so there is truly nothing new, and it's also slower with games even vs vista if you have vista simply don't upgrade "it's a waste of your well earned cash"...

    Boeing costing americans money vs airbus today actually bringing in money to the EU.. time to dump Boeing into a shallow grave...

  4. they don't want real broadband... on Major Carriers Shun Broadband Stimulus · · Score: 3, Insightful

    they don't want real broadband... they only want to offer crappy 256kbps, and pander it off as broadband. which btw isn't broadband anywhere outside the US. time for the US government to start their own broadband service.

  8. Re:WTF isnt a space station permanent? on Panel Advises Longer Life For Space Station · · Score: 2, Insightful

    particles in space will eventually destroy everything. the Russian mir was full of holes at the end of it's life. but till date it was the safest space station ever created by man, the same people also made 75% of the ISS :P (Russians yup)

  9. just typical American on Noctilucent Clouds Likely Caused By Shuttle Launches · · Score: 1

    poor quality american electronics. if the entire system was built by the Russians we wouldn't even have a single issue... the advantage of the russian system is that it isn't man-controlled, if 1 single blip comes up on their computer the entire shuttle is turned-off it can't take off (like the hacked around nasa ones). it was funny when on the discovery channel the Russian ISS engineers said: we always have to rewire all the american made ISS parts because everything is done in inches (the only country in the world to do anything in inches). just face it NASA: a bankrupt state can supply better products, than one which pretends to be the richest...

    it's a hoax, that russia can't get in. they want the Russian mob "which still exists" to use skype..

  13. rubbish ebay on Skype Apparently Threatens Russian National Security · · Score: 1

    rubbish ebay lets governments-in on key-sniffing... i think this is a way to get some people by using their own stupidity of false security. Skype if you want to be secure isn't secure not as long as it's run by a company as Ebay, and isn't transparent about it's sourcecode... anyone thinking skype is a shield against governments "police" is an idiot...

  16. Re:i have entire 1995 CD-R spindle on Up To 10% of CD-Rs Fail Within a Few Years · · Score: 1

    if you pay crap you get crap. i've also never really had an issue with DVD-R's besides their being more brands of burners vs 1995. i think it has more to do with the amount of quality burners vs just the poor quality of media.

  17. i have entire 1993 CD-R spindle on Up To 10% of CD-Rs Fail Within a Few Years · · Score: 5, Interesting

    i have entire 1995 to 1998 CD-R spindle's and all 400 of them still function just fine. i recently had to run trough all 400 of them, and had zero read errors. i guess my discs are possessed by some magical force, or this is just bogus.

  18. Re:luckily for us on NASA Plans To De-Orbit ISS In 2016 · · Score: 1

    Nasa is nothing but a tax rip-off scheme except without any return. nasa is highly inefficient compared to other space agency, even commercial ones make a profit. Nasa manages to make losses after losses, it's strange a government would keep funding something which drains money and isn't contributing much to technology compared to even commercial company's in space.

  20. i would like to disprove it. on Progress In Brain-Based Lie Detection · · Score: 1

    i would like to disprove it. i once had great fun with an american police officer demonstrating a lie detector to European police, who said a lie detector could not be manipulated. i proved him wrong, all the lies i told were registered as the truth. i would have killed 1million people, and I've slept with 5000 women, and i visited mars once or twice. i had great fun shattering someone's believe, and so did everyone surrounding it. i think i could even fool this :D

    other animals have become resistant to humans, they haven't. thus evolution didn't have it in for them. my motto against protectionists: evolution is a bitch! if you don't like how the cards are dealt you could as well give up.
