    I love how "chemicals" somehow is implied to mean something opposite of "natural".

    Idiot...

  2. Re:What did we expect? on Losing the Public Debate On Global Warming · · Score: 3, Informative

    It's a problem of definition.

    You say it's a child, I say it's an embryo.

    When you say I want to allow the killing of children I get defensive. Because that's not what I'm allowing.

    Holding on to that is "so important", because being bullied because of someone else's religious beliefs makes people defensive.

    All of those, including the garbage resistive screen and 3hr+ battery are irrelevant for this project.

    Why are you bringing up Google Chrome? Do you want to run a desktop on the thing? All that says is that you have NO idea what to use it for. I'd take a debian install with repos ANY day over android for what this thing can be used for.

    That tablet will NEVER be anything but a painful experience to use.

    The Rpi can be perfect for a number of projects, and infinitely more configurable.

    graffiti artists... oh boy. If I caught someone tagging or "expressing themself" on my property, I'd have no problem shooting them in the knee (if I could get away with it)..

    Powerful powerful reasoning there.

  7. Re:our car can go 100mph! on Apple May Need To Rethink 4G Claims (and Pay Refunds) In More Countries · · Score: 2

    Well, if you advertise the car as a 100mph car, and OTHER cars don't have a problem driving 100mph, but your can't because the special fuel isn't available this side of the atlantic, I'd cry foul too.

  10. Re:Does that mean.. on Facebook Asserts Trademark On "Book" In New User Agreement · · Score: 0

    So that basically boils down to:
    1) "My friends don't use facebook"
    and
    2) "I don't befriend people who use facebook"

    all joking aside, my point still stands

    Q: How do you tell if someone isn't on facebook?

    A: Don't worry, they'll tell you.

    They should have ALL their trademarks invalidated by shenanigans like this. BOO!

    What do you base that on? Western Europe can hardly be called culturally homogenous..

  18. Re:Failed big time on Raspberry Pi Now Has Distributors -- and Will Soon Have Boards for All (Video) · · Score: 2

    wow, are you me? Because you almost word for word repeated my comments from another site.

    When I tried to comment on the "company only" ordering in Denmark, they kept retweeting comments from british users who said something like "you don't have to fill out the company name". After 3 hours they didn't feel like commenting on the fact that ordering was impossible for individuals in many countries.

    Oh, and it took around 1½ hours of F5'ing to GET to the last step in the order process, the part where you have to fill out the "vat registration number" for companies. That was a funny surprise. A heads up BEFORE I tried to order would have been nice.

    .. we got rid of the 25 øre in 2008. So now the lowest denomination is 50 øre (around 9 cents). Swedens lowest coin is 1 krone (around 15 cents).

    We've been rounding since 1972, and it omes very natural.

    3G just means 3rd generation. So while W-CDMA is a 3rd generation network technology, it does not mean that all 3rd generation technology is W-CDMA.
