  1. Alien visitations? on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    Oh gosh.

    Oh fucking gosh ....

  2. It is not a matter of morals. on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    It is a matter of distrust, and thus inspection.

    The arsenal of conventional nuclear weapons was substantially reduced by both sides using exactly this procedure.

  3. Dishonest revisionism on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 3, Informative

    For bunnies sakes, the UN did not agree to the invasion of Iraq in the 2nd Gulf War (the one lead by GW Bush).

    The security council never allowed such invasion, the US, UK and a few countries trying to ingratiate themselves with the US (Spain for example) went ahead an invaded in spite of not having a legal leg to stand on.

    The inspectors were working in Iraq one week before the invasion, They had a mandate from the UN to investigate, which the US and the UK decided to ignore.

    The UN secretary at the time, Koffi Annan, publicly acknowledged that the invasion was illegal.

  4. You have a problem buddy on Obama's Proposed Space Weapon Ban · · Score: 1

    You said this:

    "Obama has a child-like view of the world"

    which is a typical rant used by white supremacists during the apartheid era in South Africa, an epithet that I have the misfortune to see used by first hand account.

    It used to be said that black people were in a state of eternal childhood, which was what allowed for the morality of racism, slavery, colonialism and other wonderful pieces of Western cultural heritage.

    I don't know if you are playing games or not, but be all aware that such an statement is very charged of racism in many parts of the world.

    Now moving to the political field, if you want examples of a simplistic view of the world you can refer to GW Bush black and white view of world politics. Any person that has been involved in politics, even casually, knows that situation are normally full of tones of gray...

  5. What an ass. on Bill Gates Unleashes Swarm of Mosquitoes · · Score: 0

    I am allergic to insect bites.

    On occasions I have been rushed to hospital to deal with mosquito bites.

    Sorry if I am missing something, I could not bring myself to RFA....

  6. When I had applications like that in UNIX-Linux .. on Users' Admin Logins Make Most Windows Malware Worse · · Score: 1

    I sent them back to the company that develops the software to fix it.

    I would do the same if I was working with Windows.

    I know not everybody can do this, but tech heads working in big companies have a moral duty to force manufacturers to change their insecure ways.

  7. False, false, false. on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Islam regards itself as a continuation of both Judaism and Christianity.

    Was von Braun born in Montana?

    Fermi in NY?

    Dunno. Just asking.

  9. The West won? on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    With the aid of Middle East's oil.

    Honestly, you are pathetic...

  10. And Mobutu Seseseko on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    And Pinochet (he had tea with Maggie Thatcher when visiting London).

    Don't throw stones in the crystal shop of world politics ...

  11. Funny thing.... on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Those terrorists organizations are based in places where people are fighting invading armies or opressive regimes.

    No, Iran is not a loving freedom country in the sense we understand freedom, but they have logical motivations that do not include support for terrorism (Iran hates Al Quaida for example).

    Iran is playing the same geopolitical game the US has been playing since it became capable of doing so, but of course we get the propaganda that favours the point of view of Western countries.

  12. I call you whatever I want. on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    It is my right when I use the Enlish language if that clarifies things.

    In Spanish we have a precise word to refer to people from the USA (estadounidense), it is not our fault that the term USians use in English is imprecise, unpolite and offensive for other people of the American Continent.

  13. The Sandinistas had elections. on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    They lost power and transferred power peacefully.

  14. Oh well, in that case the US is at war already... on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    SInece the US has been financing Israel for donkey years against the local arab countries.

    Israel would be bankrupt without the US aid it receives, so in very real terms the US is also in a proxy war against some Arab countries if we take what you say at face value.

  15. Oh please. What do you use? klingon? on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Engineering without mathematics is non existent. Period.

    I don't know what point you are trying to make frankly.

  16. Your sources? on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    I can find plenty of quotes of Blix saying Iraq didn't have WMDs and I have seen several interviews in which he says as much.

    He was tasked to do that work and he delivered his opinion.

    Bush decided to ignore that expert, as he did with many other issues, perhaps in one of those session in which god talked to him he was told to ignore any sound evidence.

    And where are the long range missiles of Saddam btw? Anybody that remembers the First Gulf War knows that Iraqi missiles were less than ideal to fight a war locally, forget about long range attacks...

  17. You didn't pay anything. on Iran Has Put a Satellite Into Orbit · · Score: 1

    Anyway, how great of your country to offer to buy something while holding a gun to the head of the seller.

    Really gracious.

  19. Oh please. on IT Job Market Is Tanking, But Not For Everyone · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Not all companies are populated by morons in the hiring positions.

    Right now the good people will raise to the top as long as you are willing to adjust your expectations slarywise.

  21. Easy to spot the difference. on IT Job Market Is Tanking, But Not For Everyone · · Score: 1

    When you are layed off it is understood that you are let go for any fault of your own.

    When you are just fired, then one can assume that you did something to enrage your employer.

    I would be quite happy to include comapnies in my CV that have layed me off, I would be more cautious about a company from where I have been fired.

  22. Nope, nope , nope. on IT Job Market Is Tanking, But Not For Everyone · · Score: 1

    10% of the original pool would dominate a market.

    The other 90% should redeploy themselves to other markets until 10% of those find a new position, and so on.

    Remaining still and whining is a sure way to stay unemployed.

  23. Important skill: know if you are good. on IT Job Market Is Tanking, But Not For Everyone · · Score: 1

    Honestly, be objective. It is easy to find out.

    I know I am good not out of misplaced faith on statistics, but because I have investigated the job market and I know I am.

    The only answer for people with average or below average skills is to learn new skills or become more proficient at the ones they have.

    In other words inhabit a niche market, that is a well known way to survive a crisis.

    Friends and networks are overrated.

    Honestly, why would you regret being fired by a company that fires people on a "first time error" basis?
