    I sure hope it's better then the 12-step program I followed last year!

    Be a man... don't get a hard one on (or in) my juicy ass. And come out the closet, anonymous non-hetero.

    my escape is next the F1, a bit aside from it, on all my keyboards btw. Not so handy :( Vi and Emacs should really adapt and change to the capslock. Or even better, keyboard makers should kick the caps to the ctrl place... and ctrl to caps. That would make sense. Gives the trolls rsi and us an economic place for a key we actually use.

    Copying is not stealing, nothing is lost, as a matter of fact. things are duplicated. I for one, welcome my new Overlord 'thief' that duplicates my money! (and then there is this other little detail... they haven't been found guilty... (yet) )

  7. Re:Good replacement: Visual Studio on Emacsy: An Embeddable Toolkit of Emacs-like Functionality · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Hmmz, actually, despite being modded down, I also think VS is the best IDE. Maybe because I know it best, but I would love a port to linux. It's a fast IDE that gets shit done. I did skip on 2010 though, but 2008 is my weapon of choice. It's actually overkill for the coding I do, but I prefer it any time over vi, emacs, eclipse or monodevelop. (ah yes, this linux-user does .net, please don't hurt me to bad!)

  8. Re:None of this specific stuff should be illegal on Quantifying the Risk of Texting Drivers · · Score: 1

    Here in the Netherlands they found a way to do just that... Having a mobile phone in your hand is illegal. You don't have to be texting, having a phone in your hand is enough to get a ticket (and a hefty one!). Luckily it's still legal to eat, read the newspaper, solve a sudoku, scratch your balls or having a book or mp3 player in your hands. Just not that phone!

    No, fans of something can't do all these things. Maybe someone without any feelings could, but normal people can't. Some have it with a tv show, others with Diablo 3 and some with reading slashdot, getting an icecream, going to church, or just seeing their partners. People love things and love is a powerful emotion that will subject you when it comes for you. These things make us humans.

    Come on, if you can't patent sending a message asking someone to meet up with you, than what is the point to further try to innovate? It probably took millions spend in think-tanks just for the idea! Let alone the implementation!

    Truth to be told, here you would probably get the escort also. It's more the fact I can get frustrated about cctv and global following of citizens. I lost my nerve a bit when I posted my first comment.

    Neh you are right, it's just that we are being told by our personal overlords "yes but in the UK they also have cctv and it's working great". But in no way did I mean the average Brit. I like those!

    Last thing any sane person would want is being constantly followed. Now we know the Brits are willing to do this if they think they can get something out of it. So far for privacy. Oh and next time you're in the car with your pregnant wife trying to get to an hospital but can't because the lights are red... Well, the police chief is probably on his way home and needed the lights to be green...

    If we would do that on the US as a country, we might as well kill you all.... Lend Lease...

Your statement can only hold any value if you distance yourself from US politics in the last 100 years... Which would make you penilless, banned and a typical asshole, according to your own post here.

    You sound awfully nice for an American...

But you are right. But don't forget, most people see that the USA is being runned by handfull of very very dangerous 'services' as you call them and don't blame Joe and Jane ;) We blame George and George ;)

  20. Re:Problem? on US Grabs More Domain Names, $1.4M From Online Counterfeit Operations · · Score: 2

    What needs to be changed is very simple. The US does this for her own coorps and citizens btw. If you sell something, the rules apply from the country from which you are selling. If someone from another country decides to buy from you (foreign) than it's his/her responsibility to make sure the item bought is legal. Not the other way around like some countries act now.

  21. Re:We need a new DNS fast on US Grabs More Domain Names, $1.4M From Online Counterfeit Operations · · Score: 1

    I think it should be possible to implement a system that tests multiple dns-peers. But yes, the implementation of such a system won't be easy. We can see this with TOR. It's a secret that the Dutch government has set up many tor-exit nodes. Effectively being able to snoop on lots of TOR-traffic, and while not completely compromising TOR, it's getting dangerous. But I agree with you, it's hard to come up with something that will be secure. But the current system as it is, should still be replaced. At least, that's what I think ;) Others might disagree :D

    Yes, I agree with you. It will be the only way and despite the bad guys could and would use this system too, I still feel that would be the way to go. The bad guys are going to do their things anyway. Might as well make sure we have, the good guys, have the same rights and level of protection.

    We don't agree. The USA even has 'sealed' cases about seizing domains... So even the lawyers don't know why their clients domain was seized in the first place. If there is one country that has proven over and over again since during it's whole history to be not trustworthy one has to say it's the USA. With all due respect to her citizens. To answer your question, best would be a true decentralized system. Next stop would be a non-profit formed under the watching eye of Richard Stallman, who as proven over and over again to be the last true hacker and freedom lover. If he doesn't want the job, let him appoint some one. At least then we know it's in good hands.
