    That made my day. Great joke.

    Right, so to prevent Islamic fundamentalist terrorism all we have to do is convert to their brand of Islamic fundamentalism, tear down science and knowledge, re-enslave our women, kill all the infidels and submit to the absolute authority of a few wealthy imam. Glad to know. That sounds like a good idea.

  3. Re:Force on Spam Text Prematurely Blows Up Suicide Bomber · · Score: 2

    Even without force, religion causes harm. Even for those who willingly accept it, it still poisons the mind and can lead to derangement and self harm. And can lead to people harming themselves. Even Buddhism isn't immune from this effect, some still starve themselves to death seeking enlightenment.

  5. Re:The Standards Really Never Have Been the Standa on The Abdication of the HTML Standard · · Score: 1

    Exactly. A standard provides a goalpost for minimum uniformity. It provides a stable reference point with a known set of features. Implement the standard and standard sites will just work. Its ok to go beyond that and experiment with new features. But you need to meet the minimum standard of compliance.

    The new method of an ever shifting and non-enumerated standard is a huge step backwards. No one will ever be able to implement the standard because it changes all the time. Without versions, there are not even signs on the road to tell you how far you have come and how far you have to go. It is a ridiculously bad decision.

    At least now they can't say that spam never killed anyone.

    evil? no. Beauty? Death? Petrification? Anti-magic? sure. Evil is in the alignment of a Beholder.

  8. Re:It only sues everything... on Sony Wins Restraining Order Against Geohot · · Score: 1

    I recently bought an old 20 gig ps3 for just this reason (it came with 5 good games and I also got a cheap 250gig hd for a combined cost less than a new ps3 without games). My ps2 was failing and I wanted something more than just a skinny replacement.

  9. Re:No.. that would be silly. on Sony Wins Restraining Order Against Geohot · · Score: 1

    I would not go so far as to grant the death penalty for voting in an unconstitutional law. Perhaps just a fine equal to the sum total of his pay (including kickbacks and campaign contributions) for the duration of his stay in congress, for each such vote.

  10. Re:Legit or Government sponsored? on Openleaks Goes Live · · Score: 1

    Because the people making leaks would rather not be thrown in prison, sued for everything they could ever earn, have a mysterious accident, have their families brutally massacred or be disappeared through extraordinary rendition. The whole point of wikileaks was to protect the source from identification and therefore harm.

    You are romanticizing the Yakuza. They went after poor shopkeepers as much as the wealthy.

    Yes. Just like a mob riot. Except without the threat of permanent property damage. Except without the threat or possibility of bodily harm.

    I do not think that is the case. The policies enacted in Bush Sr actual presidency were different enough from the Reagan debacle that I do not see much of a continuity between the two.

    Doesn't removing a photo tag on facebook make it so that the friend that tagged you can never tag you in a phota again? or am I misremembering that feature?

    My little sister has a degree in architecture, mechanical engineering and drafting. after she graduated 3 years ago she has had 2 part time barely above minimum wage jobs, but has been mostly unemployed. So yes, things are really bad in the field.

  17. Re:Pathetic on Aerospace Engineer Named Lego Czar · · Score: 4, Insightful

    Interesting. except doing that gets you exactly the same amount of money and only 2 years of lego play instead of 3. It also does not account for the fact that you would have to buy your own lego's.

  18. Re:Everyone wants something for free. on Senators Bash ISP and Push Extensive Net Neutrality · · Score: 1

    Wrong, there is only a market if the big boys don't buy the local government to enforce a monopoly. That is precisely what they do. Small private company tries to compete? cant, monopoly. Small local government gets tired of shitty service and provides a utility? Can't, the cable co will buy off the state government and pass a new retroactive law that disallows internet utilities.

    Are ye daft? Reagan oversaw the 4th worst economic downturn in US history. The three that were worse were the Civil War, the Great Depression and the Presidency of Bush jr. His economic policy was amazingly bad. Its the kind of backwards hairbrained proven bad bs that you might have expected some uneducated cowboy actor come up with.

    And Clinton left 10 years ago. I liked Clinton because he did his job well enough. I need to have made a new years resolution to keep tangential subjects in separate paragraphs even if I only intent on using a couple sentences, I also need to avoid excessively long sentences, and possibly excessive comma splicing.
