  1. Re:Venture capitals are more conservative in EU. on Where Is Europe's Silicon Valley? · · Score: 1

    The reason is that it's so close to Las Vegas. They've learned that in gambling, you win in the run, not on the hand.

  2. Re:War to end all wars on Another Call For Abolishing Patents, This One From the St. Louis Fed · · Score: 5, Insightful

    What a shame, in your rush to get the first post, you mistook patents for copyright. Sadly, this is not the case. The industries that (ab)use patents are much, much bigger than a few pathetic media companies that don't even total up to a trillion dollars a year in profit. Removing patents would really anger manufacturing, engineering firms, software companies, and especially pharmaceutical companies. Do they influence the government more than the banks? I can't say, but they have the advantage, as they only have to convince congress to continue not changing a thing.

  3. Re:more privacy oriented Bing search engine on Microsoft Urging Safari Users To Use Bing · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Perhaps the same could be said of everyone.

  4. Re:Waste of money on US Military Tested the Effects of a Nuclear Holocaust On Beer · · Score: 5, Insightful

    The cost of throwing a few cases of cheap beer a round and then testing them is practically infinitesimal to the cost of setting of a nuclear weapon. It's not as if they blew the thing up just to test the drinks.

    We irradiate our food to ensure its safety. Radiation is not a threat to food... at least not once its been picked or killed. Radioactive material is, of course.

    That's a whole 'nother level. The radiation food is exposed to is also almost nothing compared to the radiation released in a nuke. Plus, in a nuclear blast, you have all sorts of particles flying around that are radioactive, but not the same high frequency beams used in industrial purposes.

  5. Re:Just self defense on Anonymous' Barrett Brown Raided By FBI During Online Chat · · Score: 1

    If it were a no-knock raid perhaps, but if they announce that they are police, then such action would be inexcusable murder.

    One day, I shall print my own pyramid!

    I stopped posting for a few months because i was being stalked by APK anyway, then I forgot the password and I've changed email addresses since then.

    How are you supposed to build a posting history if you can't post without a posting history though?

    I'm not him by the way, he's a shill.
