  1. Re: As usual, please refrain from blindly chiming on Mozilla Accepts Chinese CNNIC Root CA Certificate · · Score: 1

    As always, one small typo gets blown way out of proportion. Oh well. Have fun with it.

    Aha, yet another typo! Right ther--oh ...wait. Okay, never mind.

    What will make EVERYONE happy? Nothing.

    Ah, clearly we already have the solution, then! And bonus, too, because doing nothing costs almost nothing as well!

    Jail time? Because making jokes is a criminal offence... I forgot.

  4. Re:Really? on "No Scan, No Fly" At Heathrow and Manchester · · Score: 1

    Indeed, but it sounds like you are just making shit up based on "paedophiles are disgusting". Because obviously all paedophiles also have every other fucked up sexual fetish one can get, just because they are paedophiles :/

  5. Re:Not There Yet on NZ School Goes Open Source Amid Microsoft Mandate · · Score: 1

    Middle-click drag? And why the fuck would you want "all users" desktop items? They were one of main irritations I had back when I used windows. Random icons on my desktop that I can't get rid of without administrator priviledges? No thanks.

  6. Re:I'm an idiot on Artwork Re-Sells Itself Weekly On eBay · · Score: 2

    I thought you read TFA? "they must first pay any fees to eBay and give Larsen 15 percent of any increase in value of the artwork"

    Hence:
    - If you sell at the same price (increase in value of 0), you only lose the amount of ebay's fees
    - you only have to sell at the original price + 118% of ebay's fees to break even

  8. Re:Misuse Of Statistics on Scientists and Lawyers Argue For Open US DNA Database · · Score: 1

    That's more of a case of P(A | B) != P(B | A). That 20% of criminals are Hispanic doesn't mean that 20% of Hispanics are criminals.

  9. Re:chimps have 97% of human DNA on Scientists and Lawyers Argue For Open US DNA Database · · Score: 1

    Scientists aren't asking for access to the database in order to systematically verify the data. They would probably use the data with the assumption that it is correct.

    Uh, what? I think TFA would disagree with you there.

    If only one of them is heads, the one that isn't heads is... not heads.

    Unless of course you meant "the first one is heads" in which case the second one has a 50% chance of being heads.

    Or if you meant "At least one is heads" the answer is 1/3

  11. Re:So.. hmm. on Eolas Sues World + Dog For AJAX Patent · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Someone should call estoppel on patent trolls. Not enforcing a patent when they could, in full knowledge that it is being used, is deceptive, as it is good grounds for others to assume they don't have the patent. Therefore to enforce the patent now would be in bad faith, yada yada. I am not a lawyer, nor do I know any lawyers, or anyone who knows a lawyer, but I do know some big words. So there is a good chance this won't work.

  12. Re:Momentum Conservation on How To Build a Quantum Propulsion Machine · · Score: 0

    That would cause a change in momentum of the entire system while travelling. Citation for this "little loophole"?

    BTW it would be more like: use initial force to accelerate, reach destination, use reaction force to decelerate and stop, since you are still moving when you reach your destination.

    "Democracy in Iran" has nothing to do with fingerprinting, datamining and facescanning in the regime JoshuaZ lives in. The US is not the world, remember?

    You know, writing that you expect people to mod you offtopic/troll/flamebait doesn't necessarily make you not any of those things...

    Repercussions? What repercussions? That's what protection is for...
    Or do you mean the repercussions of someone (FBI?) finding out and thinking it's their business to ruin someone else's life?
    Just guessing here.

    This is the internet. Censorship is wrong. Stop being a fucking child microsoft, and start being a human being.

    If Microsoft was a human being, I'd hate to imagine what he would look like. (A terrorist? A lawyer? I don't know which is more likely)

  19. Re:Some Funny Things About This Event on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 1

    A skeptic is someone who is dubious, but willing to be convinced by sufficient evidence.

    If you feel all the "data and analysis" is too biased to make an opinion from, then I would guess that it is not sufficient evidence. ie. A murderer standing over the corpse holding a bloody knife, pointing at a random person walking past and saying "he did it" is not sufficient evidence to conclude that said random person is the murderer, due to bias. IOW you fit GP's definition, assuming your analysis of the bias-ness of the situation is correct.

  20. Re:RealClimate has a big reply on this on Climatic Research Unit Hacked, Files Leaked · · Score: 1

    You forgot "(S, H) = Oops, the warming destroyed the ecology our agriculture and horticulture was based on, and the world economy collapsed due to famine."

    By the way money isn't some magic 'gold' we can use to buy supplies from conveniently placed NPCs in the next village. We buy stuff from each other. If everyone "saved billions of Dollars, Euros, Yuan and Rubles" then all you've got is a slower economy. If the amount of money actually increased somehow all we would get is an equivalent increase in the price of goods to compensate.

    The given situation is that the people in question are murderers. Did you miss that subtle little point?

    Does the fact that the sky is blue mean I can refuse to hire people with green eyes?

    If we applied the death penalty, would it be justice? All we'd have is two dead people instead of one.
