    The only advantage would be if there was a CHOICE whether to send this or not. Forcing people to do it is no advantage at all.

    Only real advantage the olpc still has imho is the swiveling screen.

    Obviously, far be it from you to actually watch the video, he was only tasered after they DID turn the mike off, and he kept screaming. *Something* had to be done about this.

  4. Idiotic replies about "identifying anonymous" on NSF-Funded "Dark Web" to Battle Terrorists · · Score: 1

    Obviously what this tool will do is link different anonymous content by the same creator.

    So if the same guy posts "kill all infidels" and includes instructions on jihadforpussies.com and writes about pink ladies underwear on getithere.com and reviews "movies" at grannysvideos.com they can go track his credit records for pink underwear instead of trying to figure out what internet cafe he posted his "big boy" stuff from.

    This does not mean identifying every peace of content by name, just relating stuff by author. Perhaps then we'll find bin laden is really michael jackson after *another* nosejob.

    And if you put stuff online for people to read, please accept that people might, you know ... read it. You can *talk* anonymous all you want, about anything you want. You cannot threaten 15-year olds into blowing up their family like those "freedom fighters" in algeria did last week. And please nobody try to make the point that perhaps it was a joke.

    Isn't slashdot contra-censorship ? Of any kind ? I mean how can you argue FOR the universal availability of stuff like mein kampf and the quran, and be against this sort of thing ?

    Lots of books that slashdot "fights" for are a lot more controversial, and less childish, than this ...

  8. Let the masturbation begin on Why Are So Many Nerds Libertarians? · · Score: 1

    Because that's the only kind of posts you'll find in this story.

    Besides, most geeks are only interested in the label libertarian. Just look at the posts on slashdot : they are not at all liberal when it comes to letting other people do something they don't like.

    Not at all.

    Obviously you could have had a point 400 years ago about no basis in history (although you'd have a hard time defending that in those days, because while there wasn't copyright in the law, it was most certainly forbidden to spread "derivative works" of lots of classes of documents, much stricter than today. They (generally meant royalty) just did that without bothering with this nuisance called "law")

    Perhaps you should waste a bit of breath. Because lots of stuff falls under this class of things, and they're quite necessary for our society to exist.

    Einstein died thinking his theory was the "dumbest thing since ...". I'm not sure what exactly, actually, but it had something to do with God.

    I do remember his "God does not play dice" statement.

    But he spent the last 30 or so years of his life trying to disprove relativity, because he thought it wrong. So actually he probably would be glad someone finally succeeds.

    Actually, whether or not we're accelerating it is irrelevant. The only thing to do is to ARTIFICIALLY slow it down.

    This seems like the exact reason why basic physics should be mandatory in schools. Dear God. How exactly would a magnetic field contain neutral photons ? They will generate zero flux and will not interact with the field at all.

    I missed the post where you defended your point of view. Islamic attacks THIS WEEK : 88 (in case you didn't notice it's wednesday evening, it *will* be over 100 before sunday, don't you worry).

    659 people have died this week under islamic guns. 777 are wounded.

    Care to see the list ?

    7/25/07 ( Kandahar, Afghanistan ) - The Taliban shoot a Christian man to death.
    7/24/07 ( Mogadishu, Somalia ) - A pregnant woman is among three civilians killed when Islamists toss a grenade into a market.
    7/24/07 ( Bannu, Pakistan ) - Muslim terrorists fire rockets into a village, killing ten civilians.
    7/24/07 ( Dattakhel, Pakistan ) - Islamic militants attack a security post, killing four members.
    7/23/07 ( Kagai, Pakistan ) - Two men are abducted by al-Qaeda militants and executed by having their throats slit.

    Note that this DOES NOT INCLUDE IRAQ ...
    ( source : www.thereligionofpeace.com )

    Please tell me, how many people have been killed by Christians this week in the name of Jesus ? Any chance that'll change before Sunday ? Oh and why don't you act completely unfair and include Iraq terrorist casualties (who are not casualties of Christianity, but of the paedophile's* religion in any reasonable mind). Trust me, you won't get anywhere near 700.

    * anybody who fucks a 9 year old girl is a paedophile. Even if he started a religion. No it is NOT disrespectful to say this, especially if the asshole in question boasted about it in "holy" texts.

    How to defeat terrorism.

    You are right that you cannot defeat terrorism. That's because terrorism is a SYMPTOM. The thing you fight is the CAUSE(s). You cannot fight "fever", but you can fight the flew, lung infections, ...

    "Anyone who has a different opinion, is not a muslim, and therefore lower than the filthies of animals - So says god" - Koran 8:55

    "They should be killed everywhere, always, and by any means possible" - Koran 9:111
    (but fortunately the hadith clarifies that if the women amongst the unbelievers are beaten and impregnated that is enough. The men, however, should be killed)

    "keep fighting until no-one thinks differently"

    "Every muslim should fight AND KILL for allah" 9:111 ...

    http://www.usc.edu/dept/MSA/fundamentals/hadithsun nah/muslim/008.smt.html#008.3432

    Note that the muslim exegesis confirms the meaning of these phrases. That they mean that every muslim HAS TO fight and kill to subjugate others.islam does not allow freedom of speech (on ANY subject), nor does it even allow freedom of thought.

    Hence the name of that religion ... "islam" is arabic for "repression" ("submission" if you want to be polite)

    Then why don't mp3 musicians outperform the revenues of blocked-cd musicians ? There are enough of both kinds to have real competition. Yet it doesn't seem to be going in favor of the mp3 allowing bands.

    Perhaps *gasp* it's because people aren't very honest about stuff like this. That would be a real BIG surprise. Thieves lie ... *gasp*. I would never have guessed.

    If the RIAA is gone, then yes, something would replace it. (this is what you claim)

    If the revenue stream the RIAA depends on itself is gone, obviously nothing would replace it. (this is what the parent claims)

    Both points are correct, obviously. But you know very well that this is what you're doing. So, while your point is technically correct, it is a blatant attempt at deception.
