  1. Re:What make it possibly for Germany to find Faceb on Germany Threatens To Fine Facebook Over Hate Speech (go.com) · · Score: 1

    Saudi Arabia, Russia, Spain and UK officials will gleefully agree with you. Being mandated by law does not make it kosher.

    I am European, no doubt about that. Have a look at my profile.
    As much as I do not enjoy facebook malevolence, I am also not particularly fond of each little nazi country trying to legislate the Internet, or worse yet, the latest global brouhaha/propaganda about malicious/fake/illegal content in facebook.
    The truth is the powers that be want to control information, and many good people in the establishment is not at ease people only see and believe what they want "in facebook".
    Wake up and smell the coffee, people also read whatever news they fancy in the newspapers, buy specialised mags of questionable content, and google what they fancy.
    what next, will they assign Herr Merkel to my house to look over my shoulder to my Google searchs, or will use metadata and cut out your Internet access if you do not access the sites party once every two weeks?

    Look the definition of censure, Herr Comrade

    And in Spain it is illegal to criticise the Monarchy and the Church. Better use VPN+Tor, not necessarily in this order.

    Hell, put there - every European hates that cunt with passion.

  7. The premisse is the title is flawed on Aging Process May Be Reversable, Scientists Claim (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    There is little interesting in reversing the process of aging after the damage is done to bones and tissues. On the other hand, you want to slow it down after your late 20s.
    Obviously, if ever there is a public technology, they would be much more interested in spinning it down to older people that has more disposable income, however ultimately, it would be the ultra rich taking more advantage of it for a younger age.

    I would agree the malware just works. The rest, no so much.

  9. Lets bring censorship to facebook, linked.in and Youtube, because in the Internet age, they are the only way of sending extremist videos.

  10. iWatches are not the thing on Apple, Which Doesn't Reveal Watch Sales Data, Says Watch Sales Are Great (mashable.com) · · Score: 1, Insightful

    iWatches are not practical at all, are too big, have a feel of cheap/plastic/a toy watch, and are too wayyy overpriced. The technology is still very early, as much as only by the time Apple got to iPhone 5S, it was worth to use it. Despite having many of the Apple things at home, the iWatch wont be in my list for several years to come. Add to that the fact I have not used a watch for years now, and the iWatch is even less appealing. As for social status, I do prefer an expensive analog watch to go with a suit for a wedding for instance, than the iWatch...which is ridiculous for a straight male wearing a suit. Apple also seems quite lost in their orientation, and it is sad to see that the dead of Jobs put someone there that seems more worried about a political affirmation and giving face to minorities than being maniacal with the glitches of events and improving the quality of the current Apple portfolio.

  11. Do I have to read such drivel, and see to many people eating hook, bait and the whole fishing pole? This is just BS talk to justify censorship...politicians think we are all damn morons.

    While the experience is similar, deb management is more flexible, and in fact, being the master package databases state being text instead of binary, they do allow interesting things like doing live migrations from 32 to 64 bits instead of reinstalling the server, of getting out of inconsistencies or slight corruption of list of packages and dependencies.

    Purism is hardly "libre", in my entirely personal opinion, it seems some guys subcontracted a Chinese vendor, installed a customised Linux on it, and are selling it overly overpriced to a load of gullible guys. IT is a shame, because the ideal behind hit was quite good.
