    You see, that's because most Spammers are Nazis. Those mails all came from the Sober.H worm - it's all a Windows problem actually.

    Well, if they had been able to do that, namely transporting dozens of passengers non-stop across the Atlantic, they would have. Planes didn't do that until the 50s.

    I hope you are German and lough out of despair. The last TV commercials from Apple in Germany were IIRC for the first white iBooks - maybe even flavoured iMacs. Hell, I've seen more Compaq Proliant commercials on German TV than Apple adds ever.

    Yeah? A strong belief in God and morality. A belief that tough laws make the country safer. A belief that sex should only happen between members of the opposite sex who are married. A belief that women should be decent.

    The people who claim to be "most Americans" are exactly like the Sharia people.

    Try buying a drink before you are 21. Try drinking or smoking in public. Try being anywhere "you don't belong" (and not only when you are black). Try crossing the border from Mexico to the US.

    You are right, since you all believed that the German must be in the upper right, none of you belong in the lower left.

    Yeah, and because of that you have a system with two almost indistinguishable parties, and an election process based on looks of the candidate and how much money he has (or gets from from those who actually run the country). And you have about the lowest turnouts over the world, because all of this frustrates people, knowing that their vote doesn't change a thing.

    I'm still thinking about whether I can give you credit for not claiming "We have a Republic, not a Democracy" though.

  14. Re:So why VoIP? on British Telecom Plans to Ditch POTS Network · · Score: 1

    ISDN was a bad idea - in America, because the US carriers fucked it up. And ATM is a very good idea if you use it for things were IP sucks, and oh does it suck for many things. Sure, ATM for LAN is almost always a bad idea, but there are things beyond LAN.

    If I were accused of a crime, I'd be scared to death of the American legal system, period. No matter what race, religion, or gender. DNA DENIALS:
    In early 1988, the FBI Laboratory Division created a DNA testing lab; by year's end, testing was completed in 100 active cases. I fully expected the results to confirm the careful investigative and evaluative work that had gone into the decisions to prosecute these suspects.

    Instead, I was stunned: In about 30 percent of the cases, DNA gathered in the investigation did not match the suspect's DNA.

    Fifteen years later, this rate remains virtually the same. Approximately 25 percent of DNA tests do not produce a match.

    It is news because he won a lot of prizes and was even considered a potential Nobel prize candidate. And it is better than yet another article about SCO or the Brown Book.

    VoIP makes sense when you have access to an IP network (Internet or Intranet). But when you want to packet switch telephony over a dedicate network, why the hell use IP instead of ATM?

    No, because it simply isn't true. Now why would anybody believe something so utterly devoid of truth? Because most of those people where Communists and Socialists, and American History (TM) can't allow them to be the good guys.
