  1. Re:Thank goodness! on UN Wades Into Patent War Mess · · Score: 2

    I thing they practically invented wading through red tape, so what's not to like about them?

  2. Re:Inevitably... on Nukes Are "The Only Peacekeeping Weapons the World Has Ever Known," Says Waltz · · Score: 1

    Or in the hands of whacko religious states that see starting a war by making up false accusations about non existing weapons as a means to gain oil, profit for the weapon industry and re-election.

    And isn't sending soldiers to war also sacrificing citizens? Maybe with the difference that it's not certain they will die, but they're sent, knowing they could die and if they return, they'll probably be fucked up mentally so they commit suicide.

    In war there is no them or us.
    In the end it only knows losers.
    The only way to win is not to play.

  3. Boom boom!!! on Texas Scientists Regret Loss of Higgs Boson Quest · · Score: 1

    But no. Congress fancies other types of bang.
    If they, and many other governments, would spend more money on research instead of war...

  4. Don't install that shi* on Facebook API Bug Deletes Contact Info On Phones · · Score: 1

    I had an android and made the mistake to install Facebook.
    It was so friendly to add my phone number to my profile within seconds. Thanks. That is one more bit of information that will never be deleted from the FB database.
    My apologies to everybody in my contact list that are also registered at FB now because of my stupid action. I should have known better...

    I'm so sorry :(

  5. Re:It's no surprise.. on Dotcom Search Warrants Ruled Illegal · · Score: 1

    Here, there and everywhere the government of the people in reality is the government of the corporations. We just get to do our ceremonial duty every so many years. That's all.

  6. Re:General observation on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    Oh wait, mister breaking in burglar guy. I know it's in the middle of the night and I was sleeping, but let met get my gun from one save and my ammo from the other safe opposed to damn, I wish my son would never have found my loaded gun under my pillow.
    And Columbine. Were was the NRA fan club when you needed them??

    But that's something I'll never understand...

  7. Re:Only in America... on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    Not having the intention to piss off anyone, but...
    Whole countries are "regulated" because a hand full of religious morons misbehave badly, so what's the problem with a bit of gun regulation.

  8. Re:Only in America... on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    So guns don't kill people and neither does irresponsible behaviour.

    What I would expect from responsible people is not to end up in the situation where they would have to try to put out the fire.

    But maybe it's just a very valuable (and expensive) lesson for everybody. They're called fire arms for a reason.

  9. Re:General observation on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    But still 90% goes to prison for starting fires and 10% doesn't because they started fires with fire arms.
    That sounds reasonable :)

  10. Re:General observation on Fires Sparked By Utah Target Shooters Prompt Evacuations · · Score: 1

    I think you misunderstand the problems Europe face at the moment.

    There is a distinct difference between going to congress and ask if the debt ceiling can be raised to, let's say 16.000.000.000.000 currency units and telling countries to get their finances in order.

    I agree, it doesn't look very nice at the moment for some of the countries, but most of them are doing fine.
    But that is something completely different than totally ignoring the problem.

    But making your point with a hyperbolical comparison to the USSR is an overreaction. davester666 has a point, but his point is not US specific, but it applies to companies all over the world.

    And about fire arms. We're not living in the times of the wild west any more.

  11. 6 feet, 6 meters on Have Your Fingerprints Read From 6 Meters Away · · Score: 1

    Something got lost in translation, I guess...

  12. What't the problem? on Samsung Galaxy S3 Face Unlock Tricked By Photograph · · Score: 1

    With the SII it also works. I took a picture with one phone and showed to the other phone to unlock it.
    That works. No problem.

    But I think it's also marked as insecure, so this wasn't really a surprise actually.

  13. Re:Helping them watch us watch them on Kinect: You Are the Controlled · · Score: 1

    I show it ads.

  14. Just 4 on An HTTP Status Code For Censorship? · · Score: 1

    being 00100; use fingers; do maths.

  15. Proposal on Patent Troll Now Armed With Thousands of Nortel Patents · · Score: 4, Insightful

    You can only get money from a patent if you actually produce something that uses that patent.
    Otherwise, you can hang it on your wall and look at it.

  16. No, really. on Ultra-Orthodox Jews Rally For a More Kosher Internet · · Score: 1

    There is WHAT on the sinternet?!

  17. Finally. It's been said! on Why You Can't Dump Java (Even Though You Want To) · · Score: 1

    "Instead, we allow almost all cyber criminals to get away with their Internet crime without any penalty."

    Why do you never hear about covert CIA flights from China, Russia and Nigeria with a shit load of spammers / scammers / other scum on board?
    THAT'S the real problem.

  18. Who came up with the idea? on FDA May Let Patients Buy More Drugs Without Prescriptions · · Score: 1

    I'm sure some pharmaceutical organisations helped the FDA a little bit in coming up with this idea...

  19. house on Why You Don't Want a $99 Xbox 360 · · Score: 1

    Fuck it. I'll take the a subprime mortgage to buy a house!

  20. Choose on India Test Fires Long-Range, Nuke-Capable Missile · · Score: 1

    Either threaten India with total nuclear destruction or STFU about North Korea and Iran.

  21. Re:Why is this modded Funny? on Europe Agrees To Send Airline Passenger Data To US · · Score: 1

    My mistake.
    Manual cavity search, since the use of body scanners is controversial.

  22. Re:Why? on Europe Agrees To Send Airline Passenger Data To US · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think fire should be fought with fire.
    I demand blood samples and fingerprints from all Americans entering the EU.
    And a cavity search.

  23. HEY SCHOOL!!! on Teacher's Aide Fired For Refusing To Hand Over Facebook Password · · Score: 1

    I might have a facebook account on which I might have posted something about you.
    "we will assume the worst and act accordingly."
    So what will you do now?

  24. SOPA and stuff??? on Dutch Court Forces ISPs To Block the Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    Harmonize this!

  25. Yes it is. on Kinect For Windows Releasing On February 1 · · Score: 1

    The hardware will be different. One of the things is the normal kinect starts detecting from about 80cm.
    If you want to put a kinect on your desk, that's not very practical, so they changed that.
    And there are more changes, for what I know...
