    It was also never tested in court that you are not a fuckheaded moron.

    Mr manager, if you purchase our copier you can reduce your costs by $2000 per month.
    Would you like me to explain how?

    Why would anyone want to do that?

    Which nation? China already has more control over US than US government itself. And I, being neither American nor Chinese, don't care about that particular aspect.

    The idea that protesters wanted "democracy" was.

  6. Re:Is goatse satanic? on Vatican Warns That Internet Promotes Satanism · · Score: 1

    Actually no. Goatse is a photo of a man stretching his own ass. Satan is a mythological character that supposedly oversees torture of dead people.

    Scratch that, more likely Yakuza. Not that one can tell the difference -- both thrive on corruption and construction.

    Haliburton, most likely.

    Oh please, PR about a disaster that conveniently happened when "western" (US) media and "non-government" organizations were in a full attack mode against anything related to USSR economy or politics.

    I am sure, I was counted among "victims" of Chernobyl disaster, too. If you are reading this in US, I am probably healthier than you are.

  10. Re:There are few aircraft designers left on Burt Rutan Retires From Scaled Composites · · Score: 1

    Absolutely!

    I am not an American, and therefore have absolutely no obligation to support US attempts to conquer the world.

  11. Re:Radio v. Television on Engineering Election Debates With Subtle Cues · · Score: 1

    No, this is the next step -- broadcasters basically add their own "boo" and "ahh" to the "debate", supposedly based on reaction of some never-seen "undecided voters".

  12. Re:The same people back both sides on Engineering Election Debates With Subtle Cues · · Score: 1

    Solution: never elect people with any charisma, and discourage dramatic escapades from any official with actual decision-making power. Let the lackeys and journalists (who are not elected anyway) do the screaming to the masses.

    It will probably prevent dangerous psychopaths from being elected, too.

    That will work really well for remote access.

    Idiots.

  14. Re:links, to above articles on Vatican Warns That Internet Promotes Satanism · · Score: 1

    So this where modern governments take their talking points for attacks on education! They quote the damn thing almost verbatim!

    Just to make it clear -- "religious freedom" means a duty to pander to ignorance and superstition. No government can possibly remove people's capability to think something stupid, so being able to praise "The Lord" (dark or otherwise) or "seek the truth" (in one's own navel or in ancient folklore) should be completely irrelevant there. Declaring superstition and fraud a "right" protects its perpetuation in society and cripples public education.

    This shit must be abolished.

    Is that supposed to be a new form of humor, or Microsoft marketeers started stuffing random Microsoft praise while "agreeing" with completely unrelated things?

  19. Re:There are few aircraft designers left on Burt Rutan Retires From Scaled Composites · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    That was said every time a new fighter plane development was completed.

    Not that I am complaining, I would be delighted to see US with a military that is only useful for assassinations and civilian massacres a.k.a. "fighting terrorism".

    That does not make either of them less dangerous.

    Just imagine that someone involved with nuclear weapons had a hallucination of "The Lord" asking him to play Abraham/Isaac shit on few millions of people.

    In this case, substitution table is the key, it can exist completely outside the code. Substitution cipher is bad because it can be easily broken by analysis of the message, not because of any peculiarity of implementation.

  23. Re:Religious Extremist....... on Convicted Terrorist Relied On Single-Letter Cipher · · Score: 2

    No, it's the other way around. Believing that the only goal of your life is to please and praise some guy called "The Lord" at any cost, means that you are a horrible person regardless of who "The Lord" is, and if he exists in the first place.

  24. Re:Speed on Expensify CEO On 'Why We Won't Hire .NET Developers' · · Score: 1

    Because it was not. This is why cache size remains important -- and even giant stacked three-level caches end up with about a megabyte per core. What happens to be the real "safe" size for plenty of applications.

    This is why I said "of that time". There were plenty of programmers then, all computers of that time were bizarre in this way or another, and most programmers were far better than those clowns.
