    Yep, if no one has seen any aliens, you could assume that they don't exist. BUT, if you see even one alien, you could say that they are everywhere.

  13. Re:Remember kids... on Bennett Haselton's Response To That "Don't Talk to Cops" Video · · Score: 1

    That's why you have to follow the letter when you are arguing your ticket. And because most of the cops who are sloppy, are actually sloppy, that means that they did not follow the letter, and made some mistake, big or little, does not matter, as long as this mistake invalidates your ticket.

  14. Man, you better take some history lessons on Bennett Haselton's Response To That "Don't Talk to Cops" Video · · Score: 0

    Still waiting....anyway, another flaw in your "thinking" process: society N.E. sum of individuals. Man, for real, take some math courses too, please.
    Another flaw: "crime"....You do know that kissing your wife at public space is a crime...in China? Oh, sorry, i forgot, you dont have wife, and you dont kiss her at all.
    Just for the record, there are only limit number of statutes, and limit number of amendments. i would say less than 100 in total. Not 10 000 rules, conditions, etc. And no, all these 10k "things" are just that, rules, not laws, in any meaning of the word. So breaking any of these "rules" is not a crime. Sorry man, take some other courses too.....actually, why don't you just go to preschool and start from the beginning?

    Actually, it is the opposite. I don't know what kind of idiot did make your opinion "Interesting", but you both need some special medical attention.

  18. Re:Consolidation in the Cloud? on NSA Internet Spying Sparks Race To Create Offshore Havens For Data Privacy · · Score: 1

    There is only one little problem: The IP addresses are limited. Of course, if every country does setup their internal network, and if you want to connect to your home computer only while you are not leaving your country, then it will work pretty well. Of course, it means BYE-BYE internet, HELLO intranet, but nevertheless, we are fast going this way....

    And that was my reason to not even look at Intel's motherboards, at all, no matter the consequences. Sorry guys, you lost me long time ago with your TPM chips.

  25. The simple fact that Snowden was able to get all these documents, and publish it, means only one thing: The question is not if this could be prevented, but when it will happen. As simple as that.
