  1. Re:My right of notbeingrecognized is being recogni on Germany Says Facebook's Facial Recognition Is Illegal · · Score: 1

    Lets say this scenario: you a have few "conflicting" social circles and you are not suppose to have gatherings with one circle or another. You don't want either circle to know you still have social ties with the opposite circle, however they found this out thru the unconsented photo tagging, and causes unwanted "attention"
    Well, i guess its quite common in real life as your social circle expands and conflict of interests deemed to arise, but shouldn't new functions make your life easier than causing extra havoc?

  3. My right of notbeingrecognized is being recognized on Germany Says Facebook's Facial Recognition Is Illegal · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Finally someone recognizes the right of "not being recognized without consent".

  4. What happened to HRA 1998, ECHR Article 10? on Movie Industry Files Injunction Against UK ISP · · Score: 2

    Right... And i thought such injunction is inconsistent with HRA 1998 / ECHR Article 10, freedom of expression. You shouldn't block the public access to information...

  5. Honestly, she would have died anyway... on Stem Cell Tourist Dies From Treatment In Thailand · · Score: 1

    Honestly, she would have died if the disease is incurable, why take her "right of taking her own chances" away ?

  6. Another report ? on Sweet Molecule Could Lead Us To Alien Life · · Score: 1, Funny

    Tired of hearing journals suggest places may have foreign life... wonder when will there be "concrete" evidence to show life from other planets ?

    Hopefully Soon ~

  7. Yup its true ! on China Eases Licensing Rules For Foreign Media Sources · · Score: 1

    I just had a night stay over yesterday in China and some news site I wasn't able to access (during Olympic period) was able to access !

    Hopefully they lift more bans of sites in China so I will not die of boredom to surf in China~

  8. Electricity $$$ ? on PetaBox: Big Storage in Small Boxes · · Score: 3, Funny

    Wow - have they calculate how much is the running cost per day ? I might just stay with my iPod instead for the time being~
    Haha~

  9. Re:Neutral Countries News? on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 1

    Sorry there is a typo in the URL - it should be www.scmp.com - South China Morning Post

  10. Neutral Countries News? on Looking for Unbiased War News? · · Score: 1

    I am not sure if this is "Neutral" enough, I would think news from areas such as Hong Kong (China) South China Morning Post maybe a more "neutral" source of news. More ?

  12. When will we see full human cloning ? on Embryonic Stem Cell Research Legalized in California · · Score: 1

    I think when there are enough demand - the whole Human Cloning thing will just be legalized -

    I think this will be quite close, maybe next 3-5 years.

    But think about it- its like you know this technology will save hundred of lifes and it cost lifes if you don't go research on it.

    If you think in terms of cells - million of your cells die per day, and you are actually murdering million of cells for each day you live -

    If you think on spiritual-wise - is this the eternal life we all strive for ?

    This is quite philosphical I guess ~ I think eventually cloning of humans will get through ~

    I guess I am too young to talk on this topic ~ haha

  13. This is kinda stupid... on Oracle Changes Certification Requirements · · Score: 1

    I was hoping to take an exam two weeks later, and now they announce this~
    I really have to check if they did already did impose this requirement in Hong Kong....

    Else I probably earn an OCP ASAP~

  14. Maybe one day all OS will run in flash BIOS ... on A Web Browser in Your BIOS? · · Score: 1

    Judging this new feature, do you think one day a whole OS will put placed in a FlashBIOS - so there will be no HardDisk etc~

    Hehe, I am waiting for that day~~

  15. Anyone recalled the space elevator? on Billion-Degree Cloud Around Earth · · Score: 1

    Anyone recalled the story on the space elevator ?
    Maybe this can be the powersource for the elevator :)

  16. Why not just change your web host ? on Obtaining Access Logs for User Web Sites? · · Score: 1

    If I were you, I would have jump ship long time ago, givern its fairly easy /cheap/or even free to transfer to another ISP. Anyway, if you don't want to do this, look for other some web page counter sites, I think they provide free site-stat tools. Upon google search on "web counter" + "site statistics" return tonnes of sites which might be suitable for you...

  17. He is missing something - some people like ads on Turner CEO: "PVR Users Are Thieves" · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I personally like to watch commercials if they are good quality.
    i.e. Nike ads etc
    so if they can make ads attractive enough, ppl like me will WATCH it

  18. But HOW (to eat)? on Space Ramen! · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I know there are 2 types of raman u can eat in Japan, one is hot soup based and one is where you eat it cold (dip into soya-sauce).

    However in space if u eat it with hot soup, you can't really "pick" it up from zero grav, nor can you dip it into the sauce first then eat, which is where all the fun is.

    Further more you need to pick them up using chopsticks ?

    or maybe the final product will be straw ("slurp") based, who knows ? :)
    But then it won't be raman anymore ...

    Hope there are futher info on the final product when it is implemented in future.

  19. Re:Life on mars on Probes May Drill For Liquid Water On Mars · · Score: 1

    I don't think so, I always thought all living organisms will evolve and survive to adapt their surroundings.
    Therefore I think different lifeforms could still be living in Mars even between -120 and -20 degrees.

  20. pls Don't Nag... on Communicator dumps proprietary DOM support · · Score: 1
