  1. Re:China is whaaat? on Why Avast Won't Show Source Code To the Government, But Others Do (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    I know the history quite well, I was an adult working in the defense industry for the whole thing. There was never any claim that Saddam had anything to do with 9/11, that was why the invasion of Afghanistan happened, not Iraq. Iraq was about WMD and the very strong and right belief of WMD there. Saddam thought he could bluff having the nukes to keep the US and Iran from invading him, he prevented UN weapons inspectors from entering the country and inspecting the weapons sites. He bought Yellow Cake Uranium, presumably to build the bombs. He had previously gassed the Kurds, and it was widely believed that he was insane enough to attack Iran and incure the wrath of the world, where Kim in North Korea is too chicken to try it.

    It was a widely held belief on both sides of the Isle that Iraq/Saddam posed a real danger of nuclear and chemical war, it wasn't just some rumor.

    Says the same folks that fingered Iraq for 911?

    So, um, no one?

    Iraq was about their claims to be building a nuke, while importing Yellow Cake Uranium, and refusing nuclear arms inspectors. It never had anything to do with 9/11 except that it happened shortly afterwards.

    Haven't had mod points in about a month, used to often get 15, but I don't think that the 45 points that APK accuses me of are in any way possible, how could someone run enough accounts, and maintain positive Karma on all of them to have enough mod points to mod bomb a single person who posts near 100 comments in a day? I don't have enough time to keep up with everything on one account, let alone 10-20 I am being accused of running by a troll who shitposts constantly anything that mildly disagrees with him or points out flaws in his logic. I don't have time for the Troll APK, and refuse to respond anymore to a post signed APK.

In the case of the EM drive though, the photons can't escape the system and have not been measured escaping from the test setups.

    According to the voting rights act, you can't even have a literacy test for voting, it is racist apparently to expect people to be literate and actually know what is going on before they can vote.

    This is the same act that put in federal law that districts had to be gerrymandered to create minority districts, as if you don't you must be discriminating against minorities.

    You mean gerrymandering required by law? That gerrymandering that the Democrats forced on the Republicans?

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

    Those districts that are being pointed out as gerrymandering in for instance North Carolina are being demanded by the voters rights act to allow the minority voters to have their own districts so as to prevent dilution.

    I have seen many attempts to attack the Republicans for Gerrymandering, but when the Democrats passed a law requiring gerrymandering of districts to pack all the minority votes, what do you expect to happen?

    The term gerrymander actually originates in Massachusetts, to describe what the Democrats did to the districts up there to prevent Republican voters from having power. It is a fine tradition continued today in Mass, Maryland, California, Florida, PA, and Illinois. Yet all the Democrats seem to be able to point to and claim gerrymandering is a single district in North Carolina. So, who is the worst at gerrymandering? Also, if Gerrymandering is so powerful for the Republicans, why was a Republican Governor elected in Maryland this past round when it is a state firmly in control of the Democrats?

    Interesting, so either he has an account, or the search engine he uses also shows the signature. There has been some rumors that APK uses a search engine to find any post mentioning APK, so perhaps my sig is being indexed somewhere, which would explain why all of a sudden the explosive amount of posts from him. I had gone a few weeks without the replies, now he is posting 4-15 times on every post of mine.
