    that's because it's spelled "angstschreeuw"
    and "slechtstschrijvend", but the "h"seems to have dropped out of both words in his post.

  16. on another note on German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting · · Score: 3, Funny

    The German Government plans to ban thunderbolts and lightening, the rationale for this is

  17. Re:What if the black box is SATAN? on The Grid, Our Cars, and the Net · · Score: 1

    We must be as stealthy as rats in the wainscoting of their society. It was easier in the old days, of course, and society had more rats when the rules were looser, just as old wooden buildings have more rats than concrete buildings. But there are rats in the building now as well. Now that society is all ferrocrete and stainless steel there are fewer gaps in the joints. It takes a very smart rat indeed to find these openings. Only a stainless steel rat can be at home in this environment ; ).

  18. Re:Cryptography? on New Pattern Found In Prime Numbers · · Score: 4, Funny

    Not a rat gnawing at my face in 3D.

  24. Re:silly muppet on The FBI Has a Trojan To Watch You · · Score: 2, Insightful

    According to the complaint filed against Kelly, he believed that "companies like Comcast and Verizon were indirectly responsible for his unemployment and dire financial situation because they worked with companies that favored foreign engineers over their counterparts and because they had indirectly stolen his intellectual property."

    As part of his sentence in late 2005, Kelly was also ordered to enter a mental health program.

    No parole? He might be a silly muppet, possibly crazy, but treatment sounds more reasonable than prison. Or am i just a European speaking to an American ; ).

  25. Excellent, more SF films. on Ridley Scott's Forever War In 3D · · Score: 1

    But "The Forever War", "Brave New World"? I like both books but they wouldn't be my first choice for SF film renditions.
    Jack Vance, Isaac Asimov, Larry Niven, Harry Harrison please!
    Ridley Scott, James Cameron, i think they're some of the finest film-makers around,
    but why are some of the big IMHO authors not used, or the stories slaughtered (I Robot, cringe).
    I'm afraid the law of the lowest common denominator will prevail in the editing room again.
    And Leonardo diCaprio ;(.
