  1. Re:Great: Israel can commit genocide even better. on When Looks Can Kill · · Score: 0

    A few questions on those UN funds: Are they given to Palestinians in their natural habitat, or are they handed out to the millions of displaced Palestinians in refugee camps and the like in neighbouring countries? If the Palestinians in Israel get some of it, do they have adequate opportunities to use it on food?

    Even if they do have food, does that make it right that the Israelis should get support from the West to kill innocent Palestinians (eg Fathers-to-be driving their wives-in-labour to the hospital, children, and the like)?

    That is what the comment is really about, and although it is a political statement in a non-political forum, and maybe slightly provoking, it draws attention to a problem that Americans overfed on crap entertainment and technological gadgets may be unaware of: That of their country backing up another country in genocide (or at the very least: Unfair killing/murder of innocent people due to ethnicity). The Palestinian rage at orthodox Jews opening fire in a mosque and killing Palestinians is called 'unwise', whereas Israel's organized retaliation at children and youths - for somebody else's blowing himself up in desperation - is supposed to be perfectly acceptable?

    I don't buy into that shit. There are currents of hatred in Israel, on both sides, but if I were to call sides, based on the history and current state of the land, I would say that Israel is clearly in the wrong, and the Palestinians in the right, and if I were Arab of some sort or another, instead of a Western, affluent couch-potato, I would not hesitate to take up arms agains Israel (the country, not the people).

    Pardon my terrible English and German-style sentences. I'm a foreigner.

  2. Re:wrong on The Myth of the Paperless Office · · Score: 0

    So you are saying that if I always smell like horseshit, that a scent of horseshit cannot be taken as a sign of my possible imminent or recent presence in a room without myself actually being seen along with the sensing of the scent of horseshit?

    Although I cannot see you and although I don't know you, your piece of writing is a sign of horseshit.

    Pardon my vulgar nature.

  3. I think this is a good idea, because on Self-Warming Jackets · · Score: 0

    I live (strangely enough by my own choice) in Grand Forks, North f@#$ing Dakota.

    This thing would help me get to class in the morning.

  4. Why can't people ever learn. on Intel Releases Open-Source Stereoscopic Software · · Score: 0

    From the project coding standards page:

    if( a > 5 )
    { //Look at this
    int b = a*a;
    c = c > b ? c : b + 1;
    }

    That's it Intel, I refuse to partake in your silly project.

  5. Re:Is it illegal overseas? on Strong Hints On Flashing Your Xbox · · Score: 0

    Remember the Russian dude who got arrested in California for doing his (legal) job in Russia?

  6. Re:AFPL is *not* Open Source on Transgaming Bringing Windows Games to Linux(?) · · Score: 0

    I'd say that someone's open source philosophy are the thoughts on why, what and how to share one's source with others. I can definitely understand that these guys don't want to give it all away to be maliciously exploited by others (or to give MS an idea on which changes in the next release of DX would cause the most merd (pardon my French) for these guys).

    Once they get the ball rolling, though, I suspect these guys probably could keep up saving us from dual boots. Until Linux can compete with Microsoft on level ground in terms of gaming support in the OS, this is the best thing that could happen to those of us who find dual booting too much hassle.

  7. Cameras in Iceland on Surveillance Society · · Score: 1

    In my experience, cameras are a good, but intimidating thing. The whole of downtown Reykjavik is filled with them, and they have prevented me from, in a state of youthful drunkenness, climbing a statue and peeing on the president of Iceland's house (ie his residence).
