  1. The inflation is coming... on Canadian Mint To Create Digital Currency · · Score: 1

    The real news is that the Canadian government is intending to kill the penny. Or for those of you who have not read about the importance of the penny, this is the only way to control the spending of the central bank. It is actually quite simple, if the cost of creating a penny is 1.6 penny, then the central bank is "encouraged" to not to cut too many pennies, and thus to not to print too much money, and thus to not to lend the current loans to our future generation. Simple, ain't?

    And if we have to continue this analogue, where would you put USA, EU, or any other "good" country, willing to fight, torture, steal, and pretend to be the "goooooood" guys? Btw, kissing on public space is forbidden in China, why don't you go and "liberate", i mean kill 100/200 millions of chinese?

    I am always amazed at how the "good" guys are so willing to fight and kill and torture and steal, while the "bad" guys want only one thing, to be left alone. Amazing, ain't so?

    Actually it does, and that's one of the reason for using nginx as a proxy and cache server before the appache server.

    And just as a comment, if you are smart enough to pinpoint this critical little piece of code, which you could write in C/C++......then your skills would be pretty much enough to write the same program on C/C++, and i dare to say, even with less skill set. So, what was the point again of learning Python!!!

    Man, there is a free advise for you: Before saying anything stupid, first go, open the dictionary/treasure, check the meaning of the word, its history, its translation, its description, and then open your mouth.

    Now it is time for him to sue the Canadian government for "unlawful and wrongful" prosecution, or whatever the legal term is. I am ashamed. Sorry man, these guys are not representing me. They should be put in jail for waisting so many resources for going after an artist. Anyway, i wish you luck and keep fighting.

  18. Re:Plausible deniability... on FBI Tries To Force Google To Unlock User's Android Phone · · Score: 2

    I happen to know how the statistic is calculated, and i also happen to know what fact is:
    1. Fact: Something that happens 100% of the time.
    2.Statistic: Something that happens with less than 100% of the time.
    Here, take this, write it down, and show it the girls next door. There is some chance you will end up in their bed, but as you already know, it is not fact.

  19. Re:Plausible deniability... on FBI Tries To Force Google To Unlock User's Android Phone · · Score: 2, Informative

    It is useless to argue with people that cite statistic in order to imply fact. What is wrong in his post, and partially yours, is that you say "black people are 8 times more likely to.....". Do you see where is the problem? Let me try another way: "......if you go in your backyard, the probability that you will see dinosaur is 50%. Because you will either see it, or not see it....."
    But the FACT is that you don't have dino in your backyards, and you will never have, no matter what the "fact", i mean statistic says.
    The same with all these "...8 times more likely....", and then you put in a row 1 black and 1 white, and everybody would be convinced that it was the black guy. Oh, never mind, who am i to argue with the facts.

    You, man, are full of bullshit. What you cite as a fact is actually STATISTIC. You do know what is the difference, right? Oh, never-mind, the fact is that your are an idiot.

    Most of the time the choice is not between being in jail and not being in jail, but being found guilty (which means criminal record, and sometimes child custody), and maybe eventually being found guilty, but after long and expensive process. Oh, never mind, only the ignorant people could say there is any choice to be made.
