  2. Re:Subject bait on A Skeptical View of Israel's Iron Dome Rocket Defense System · · Score: 1

    Highly debatable, actually Palestinian Arabs are descendants of Levantine Semites as much as Jews, so you wouldn't say that yours is the only civilization still around.

  3. Re:Alternate use for this technology on DARPA Successfully Demonstrates Self-Guiding Bullets · · Score: 1

    ...and gets promptly taken down by a dumb old bullet.

    Yes, and the result was dicks. They're sending us dick pics.

  5. Re:Hm... on US Arrests Son of Russian MP In Maldives For Hacking · · Score: 1

    I'm asking this out of personal interest, I'm European too, and I would like my children to study in a school that would allow them to place well-known island groups in the right ocean.

    Malvinas and Maldives are different islands, and very, very far apart. Where did you study?

    Exceptionally prototypical.

  11. Too late on Study Finds Porn Exposure Associated With Smaller Brain Region · · Score: 1

    This made it on /. too late, local media here is already spinning it as "porn makes you stupid (and blind)".

  12. Re:Don't understand the hype on Watch Dogs Released, DRM Troubles · · Score: 1

    Well, there are walkthroughs on youtube already if you want to get an idea. As far as the story line might sound sci-fi, the game in general is much closer to GTA5 than DeusEx. The latter actively encourages a stealth approach, while in Watch Dogs you'll find yourself in the middle of (unavoidable) shootings very often, but don't worry, your average hacker can apparently take a lot of bullets...
    I was also having high expectations for this game, but so far a big let down. Not plausible enough to be a good DeusEx, not batshit crazy enough to be a good GTA5.

  13. Re:Don't understand the hype on Watch Dogs Released, DRM Troubles · · Score: 2

    No, it's basically GTA5 with less crazy shit and more techno-babble.

  14. Re:Correlation vs correlation on U.S. Drone Attack Strategy Against Al-Qaeda May Be Wrong · · Score: 1

    I did not say living under retrograde religious fanatics is great, I just say that having death raining from above, without trial, sentence, or discretion, might push toward extremism. And no, they don't pray for further American intervention.
    I also proposed an alternative strategy in my first post: cut their fundings. Proselitism, weapons, training camps... that stuff costs, and someone ought to pay. This of course includes also when the payers are the U.S. and its allies (see the Lybian and Syrian "freedom fighters").

    ...are you for real?

  17. Re:Correlation vs correlation on U.S. Drone Attack Strategy Against Al-Qaeda May Be Wrong · · Score: 3, Insightful

    You're not the only one, but you're wrong. The "collateral damage" is effectively supplying terrorist organizations with unlimited manpower.
    Cut their fundings instead, this might also lead to some surprising discoveries...

    We all know the answer: sloppy programming.
