  9. Re:It should make stuff legal... on UK Authorities Accused of Inciting Illegal Protest · · Score: 1

    Have you not see any of the studies or read reports on them investigating precisely this situation? They all show people are very suseptible to instruction from people suposedly in a position of authority see: The Milgram Experiment.

    It's all well spouting the general libertarian personal responsibility stuff, but people aren't logical robots who act intelligently all the time, if a person in a position of authority has told someone to do something unethical they should be held partially responsible.

    I am very much looking forward to not being beholden to various despicable middle eastern regimes simply because of what lies underneath their feet.

    However i do wonder if those same places will remain valuable simply because of what lies above their heads, ie. the sun.

    True, all forced marriages are arranged, but not all arranged marriages are forced, needed to be more careful with that distinction

  13. Re:Doing in wrong... on UK Politician Arrested Over Twitter 'Stoning Joke' · · Score: 1

    Nope, just nope The Home Office has a specialist unit set up to deal specifically with forced (aka "arranged") marriages, and efforts are being made to educated people about the danger of cousin marriages. Compared to America, where entire communities are free to setup cults, marry each others daughters and eject unwanted sons.

    Also see the case of Banaz Mahmod, her father and uncle were jailed of her murder in 2007, and more recently two cousins also jailed for life for murder. Prosecuting to the full extent of the law is hardly "turning a blind eye".

  19. Re:25x more dense, not 5x more dense... on New Silicon-Based Memory 5X Denser Than NAND Flash · · Score: 1

    it only has one time more

    I was going to let this slide, but you blew it at the end (and in the middle). "Two times more" is perfectly acceptable and correct english, it means the same as "double the number of cells". "one times more" does not makes sense at all, I think you are getting confused with "100% more" which also means double

    "X is two times more than Y" translates as X = 2*Y + Y

    Im sorry, but no, just no, it does not mean that. Your confusion seems to be about the word "more" eg. "there are twice as many apples in that box" and "there are two times more apples in that box" both mean the SAME I'm English, I know.

    BP owned the well Transocean owned and operated the rig Haliburton (how are they involved?) I'm not quite sure how BP is getting all the blame, is Transocean just a front company owned by BP or something? Who is responsible (apart from Obama, who seems to be the only person saying that atm)?
