    Most peoples in the world do not hate Americans on a personal level, they mostly hate your government and his [sic] vulgar display of power.

    So most people in the world have a lot in common with most Americans.

    The FBI will not come to one's house; rape and kill one's wife, girlfriend, mother, daughters, and/or sisters while making one watch; and then torture one to death, cut off one's head and leave it in one's lap for the police.

    No instead they will come to one's house; rape and kill one's wife, girlfriend, mother, daughters, and/or sisters while making one watch; and then torture one to death, Then frame you for the rape and killing of your family and have the world think you committed suicide over your horrible crime.

    It's a suicide. Looks like she caught herself by surprise. /police-squad

  3. I ANAL on Ask Slashdot: How To Securely Share Passwords? · · Score: 1

    Actually as far as bank accounts go... I don't think you can legally "pretend" to be a dead person by writing checks in their name or logging in to their back account. In any event you need official death certificate plus will papers to access old accounts. My power of attorney papers expired when my parent did. I had to re-access the accounts as the executor of the will. Continuing a business via Ebay or otherwise is probably fine, as you are acting as an agent of the business not impersonating the deceased.

    Also, my condolences, losing a parent unexpectedly is a massive depressing event. The headache added due to all the legal / paperwork stuff the state imposes is not fair. It seems to me that only the truly wealthy can afford to let someone else take care of the paperwork crap and be correctly prepared.

  4. Re:Bad idea for glass doors on 'Invisible Glass' Solves Screen Reflection Problems · · Score: 2

    People would be more likely to fail to see a glass door if it has anti-reflective film, resulting in them walking face-first into it and hurting themselves and possibly also damaging the door.

    I wish it were possible (FAA Regs would be a serious problem) to have the slide in beds like in the Fifth Element for red-eye flights. I can never sleep worth a damn when sitting bolt upright with no head support (and those stupid neck pillows don't work) and it makes the whole flight a chore. If I could lay down for the flight I would be much happier.

    Some Amtrak routes still have sleeper cars. Sadly Amtrak rarely go from where you are to where you want to go.

    I know of a nuclear power plant in Argentina that makes every employee and high level manager live near the facility (e.g., no farther than 5 km.), and they even let a few cows run in a tiny farm next to the plant.

    I missed the word in the first time I read that. I wouldn't let cows run a farm.

    require major changes to farming practice (which, maybe, are needed).

    If we, as a culture, were willing to pay 25 to 50% more for our basic food (grains, fruits, vegetables, meat, dairy), there would be no reason to take the risks of persistent pesticides and the other "necessities" of monoculture farming.

    But what would actually happen is the 25 to 50% would go into the pockets of corporations and they would continue shoveling crap to the public. What we really need to do is get the general public to give a crap about what they eat, and not just "healthier == $$".

    How many people can play Brawl on one Wii console at once? Four. How many people can play a game on one PC at once? Typically one, due to publishers wanting families to buy two to four copies of a game for multiplayer.

    What does that have to do with running your own os on a console?

    I often eat breakfast on my way to work. A granola bar or an apple while driving on lightly populated city streets isn't a difficult task.

    Once I was standing at a bus stop and saw a guy come to the intersection eating breakfast while driving. It was bowl of cereal, with milk, and eaten with a spoon while the hand holding the bowl holds the wheel.

    I tried flagging him down to ask him "What the hell are you doing?", but he just sped off when the light turned green, oblivious as to why I might have a problem with what he is doing.

    Another way of doing this is developing the highly advanced skill of walking out of a store if they don't have what you want.

    Seriously, I do not understand this about people. They have something in mind that they want, so they go to a store. If they don't find that item (it is sold out, not sold there, or not exactly what the person wanted), they buy something else instead.

    Sales people, of course, are trained to sell people anything, especially crap they don't need. You don't need a sales person for something that is needed, such as basic food items or basic clothes. Worse, it seems like people are more likely to do this when they were looking for a big ticket item.

    I want to stab people who tell this story: "I went to the car dealership and they didn't have the model/options/color I wanted, but they gave me such a great deal on this one." or "Oh Wallworts didn't have the gyazofrazzer I wanted, but they did have this wonderful flabagaster, isn't it great that I did my civic duty and bought a bunch of crap I don't need?"

    No; if they don't have what you want, walk out of there and go into a store that does!
