  1. well, well, well... on Car chase notification service · · Score: 1

    Xenophobia is alive and well, and living in the USA.

  2. Actual Notice on Toshiba and EULA · · Score: 1

    So call the computer company and ask them for another copy of the legal documents so you don't have to open your box. If they refuse this, they're just shifty bastards and you should buy elsewhere anyway.

    It can even vary with time on a running kernel. Never heard of modules?

  4. Lots of people will have to fly on China's innovative solution to y2k problems! · · Score: 1

    The reason being, there isn't room for all the aeroplanes in the world to be grounded at the same time. There have to be a large number airborne all the time.

  5. Re: the KKK on Linux in healthcare computing · · Score: 1

    Try telling that to the next black minister who finds his church razed to the ground one Sunday, or the next black guy they burn alive.
    I'm sure they'll agree with you completely.

    Idiot.

  6. Interesting dilemma for Americans on India's Red Alert - no more US software · · Score: 1

    Because it isn't an advantage. There are a great many strong encryption systems in the world, most of which have permeated the world outside the US anyway (and once they're out of US it's legal to distribute them further from other countries).
    From my desktop, anywhere in the world, I can get strong encryption software easily. Banning the export from one particular country is like blocking off one of the holes in a sieve. All it does is hurt the companies within that countries, who cannot compete in the export market.

  7. This is probably a good thing. on Lucas to end Star Wars · · Score: 1

    Lucas hasn't been hyping it much. Apart from the trailer and stuff on the web site (which, let's face it, not everyone has access to) I have seen very little official. The only people who have been hyping it are some of the die-hard fans. If they are disappointed, that's their problem. I'm just going to wait and see what it's like. I'm quietly confident that it'll be good, but I'm not working myself up over it.
    Hey, get a grip! It's just a film!
