  1. What's a "muzzie"? on Social Media Becomes the New Front In Mexico's Drug War · · Score: 1

    The humans have been doing this for years, with their beheadings, and the "look what you made me do when you drew a nasty picture".

  2. More info on Creating "Homo Minutus" — a Benchtop Human To Test Drugs · · Score: 4, Informative

    A homunculus is shaped from a mixture of clay, ashes, mandrake root, spring water, and one pint of the creatorâ(TM)s own blood. The materials cost 50 gp. The creatureâ(TM)s master may assemble the body or hire someone else to do the job.
    After the body is sculpted, it is animated through an extended magical ritual that requires a specially prepared laboratory or workroom, similar to an alchemistâ(TM)s laboratory and costing 500 gp to establish. If the creator is personally constructing the creatureâ(TM)s body, the building and ritual can be performed together.

    You really need a name that will accentuate the differences with the other political parties, common denominators will garner you no votes.

    You got your Jesus on the dashboard

    There, I said it. Lets all now have a rational, civilized discussion.

  8. The foundations on NASA-Funded Study Investigates Collapse of Industrial Civilization · · Score: 4, Funny

    I foresee the imminent fall of the American Empire, which encompasses the entire world, and a dark age lasting 30 thousand years before a second great empire arises. I also foresee an alternative where the intermittent period will last only one thousand years. To ensure my vision of a second great empire comes to fruition, we should create two foundationsâ"small, secluded havens of all human knowledgeâ"at "opposite ends of the internet".

    For all it's faults it's still more transparent then the Federal Reserve, the European Central Bank, the Peoples Bank of China or the Russian Goznak.

    "Based on the amount of cosmic ray exposure the meteorites experience in space, scientists estimate the rocks spent 5 million years in interplanetary space before reaching Earth".

    "Mojave Crater is relatively young, formed from an impact that took place less than 5 million years".

    "Law is Law".
    Und Befehl ist befehl.
    One may well ask, how can you advocate breaking some laws and obeying others?" The answer is found in the fact that there are two kinds of laws: just laws . . . and unjust laws."

  16. Re:You don't get it yet, do you? on EFF Reports GHCQ and NSA Keeping Tabs On Wikileaks Visitors and Reporters · · Score: 1

    Nobody is a terrorist. Terrorism is a tactic. It's like calling the Nazis "Blitzkriegers" or the WW II Americans "Island hoppers" (or "Nukers" if you will). States/Organizations/People use terror as a tool to reach their objective. Terror is not the objective. Using such a blanket term is, in my opinion, just a sign of intellectual laziness and will bring us no closer to solutions. It leads to a lack of understanding of the base motivation for conflict.

    The analogy is a logical one, since religion is a form of software.

  19. Re:As an organiser of events. on Is the World Ready For Facial Recognition On Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    If I have six thousand people coming in over a two hour period any second I can shave of the interaction between guest and staff is money. As long as its voluntary (opt-in) I see no problem with an age-identifier glasses-ap (gAge, I like it) instead of carding people. Of course legislation would have to be made. And I think it could actually be a data-point used in court, if the data is retained. Maybe the guest wore a fake gAge e-dentifier?

  20. Re:As an organiser of events. on Is the World Ready For Facial Recognition On Google Glass? · · Score: 3, Interesting

    If it clearly says on the tickets and a sign by the entrance (for instance) "No video/audio recordings" or some such, you are of course free to attempt to circumvent our request. We are of course free to remove your ass from the premise if we catch you ; ). As an addendum I would personally do everything to avoid harming a visitor or his / her belongings, but some security or even artists or fellow guests might take offence, so it's also for your own protection that I would discourage it.

  22. As an organiser of events. on Is the World Ready For Facial Recognition On Google Glass? · · Score: 2

    I don't much care for face-recognition, in fact I can imagine a lot of venue's banning internet-connected (full-time recording) head mounted camera's (for guests), but AGE-recognition would be a useful feature on the door if you have a liqueur-license or some other age-related barrier.

  24. Re:Time to sell List of CEOs home addresses on Data Broker Medbase200 Sold Lists of Rape & Domestic Violence Victims · · Score: 1

    "Someone else is (has it?)worse" is a really horrible argument against social inequality? With ~two billion people living of off 2 dollars a day or less, with no chance of any meaningful education or healthcare, I believe it to be a rather strong argument. Global is local, it's a tiny planet in my opinion as member of the galactic elite : ).

    Apropos world military expenditure in 2012 totalled $1753 billion, around 2.5% of world GDP.
