  1. Robots crawling on every hard surface is exciting on ESA Wants ISS Extended To 2020 · · Score: 1

    First person video of remote controlled devices is every bit as exciting as when there's someone holding the camera.

    Finding life around other stars is even more exciting; and we could do that with the money spent on manned spaceflight, if instead we built big ass telescopes (in space or not). For example, with a 100m-wide telescope we know we have enough resolution to get a spectrum of the atmosphere of an earth-like planet around a nearby star. Dioxygen in the spectrum? I'm sorry that's 1000 times more exciting than chumps clogging their toilet in orbit.

  2. Yup. And that's about it. on ESA Wants ISS Extended To 2020 · · Score: 1

    You've cited the one and only one thing that needs to be done up there.

    Everything else is pointless.

  3. I want access to my logs on Google Hacked, May Pull Out of China · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I want to be able to know which addresses have connected to my account, or, more importantly, who *tried* to access it. The information is there. Why not show it? It would allow one to immediately find out someone's trying to break in.

  4. Those are not "toxins" on Sponge-Like "Swelling Glass" Absorbs Toxins in Water · · Score: 3, Informative

    They may be "toxic" but they are not "toxins". Example of toxin: Botox(TM), which stands for botulic toxin. A toxin is a toxic substance created by an organism.

  5. Plus will be censored on const./EU grounds on France Considers 'Pirate Tax' For Online Ads · · Score: 2, Informative

    Most of the measures they want to implement are simply unconstitutional.

  6. Sarkozy's reichwing partei on France Considers 'Pirate Tax' For Online Ads · · Score: 3, Interesting

    When he's not stirring up racism to try to up their votes, he's busy gazing admiringly at China. But he's not alone. Bush's best friend, Bono (of soup-elevator music boy's band "U2" fame) has the same idea. "Great" minds "think" alike.

    What you don't know is that the fucktard also wants to tax inkjet cartridges(*), because he heard books are being pirated, and he obviously thinks people print ebooks. After all, that's how he reads 'em fancy newfangled electronic males.

    (*) I'm not kidding.

  7. Pointless distinction. on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    That's your argument? That a person is doing the button pushing? That's fucking idiotic.

    Hey let me as stupid as you are: since they vote electronically, it's a computer that's making the decision. There.

    Duh.

  8. Also, UN membership does not require democracy on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    The Saudi people don't get to elect their government, yet the country is a member of the UN.

    Go ahead, deny that fact.

  9. Yes, it's set theory. on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Real numbers are a set.
    Functions over that set are a set.

    No real number is a member of that set.

    Persons are a set.

    Countries are a set whose members are persons.

    The UN is a set whose members are countries.

    No person is a member of that set.

    No matter how often you repeat that line, members of the UN are countries, and they do vote. You might not like it, but that's how it is. It sometimes lead to weird occurrences, such as when Taiwan was China in the UN, and mainland China wasn't, but that's how it is.

  10. A country is not a territory on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    A country is not a government either.

    A country is not a language.

    A country is not the set of its inhabitants.

    A country is not just exactly a nation.

    A country is not its flags.

    Yet it possesses all of these things, more or less.

    And yes, a country can be a member of an organization, just like a corporation or a non profit organization can be a member of another organization.

    Again, you should have stayed in school and learned some set theory. It's not that hard.

  11. Interpol's home country is France on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    That's where the HQ is located anyway. In the same line of thought, the UN's "home country" is the US, since that's where the HQ is.

    What kind of crimes could they commit against you anyway? Go ahead, give us an example.

  12. +5 insightful and yet dead wrong: NO AGENTS!!!! on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Interpol has no agents.

    Got it? No agents. They don't have them.

    Do they have agents? No they don't.

    How many agents do they have? None.

    If you were to count the number of agents they have, what would be that number? That would be zero, sir.

    Okay if you doubled the number of agents Interpol have, how many more would they have? They would have the same.

    And if you tripled? Still the same.

  13. Well if they had agents, they certainly would on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Since they don't, the point is moot anyway.

  14. Re:Riddle me this... on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Give an example of harm Interpol can do to you. Go ahead. (Here's a little help: I gave an example in one of my comments.)

  15. You sucked at set theory, didn't you? on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Ambassadors are not members of the UN, even though their countries are, and they are members of their country.

    I was going to explain it further but let's it keep simple: you suck at maths. It's hopeless.

    No, it's the SAME FUCKING DAMN THING.

    The only difference between the two is that the latter is asynchronous.

    So you don't understand what UPU means and how it differs from the USPS?

  18. Re:Where would you expel Interpol people in the US on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    They don't have "immunity from (your) laws." The organization is immune to some laws.

    I'll tell you a secret. Most organizations are immune to some of your laws. Corporations can't be put on the sex offender list. Yup, that's right.

    By your logic that would mean that anyone employed by a corporation could not be put on the sex offender registry.

    Think about it.

    Then think about it some more.

    I don't know who keeps moderating you as insightful, but they're seriously brain damaged. I mean you keep saying complete non-sequiturs.

    WTF is this:

    If you'd actually read up on it, there's a whole list of things they do, including training, crisis response, secure international police communications, etc.

    For fuck's sake. They do training. Oh noes. Call the whaambulance.

    They provide secure communication between police forces. Oh my dogs. I thought they were supposed to leak info left and right!

    And crisis response. Crisis response! It's worse than the Illuminati. Even the Illuminati ain't doin' no crisis responsin'!

  21. Damn are you doing this on purpose? on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The two things you quote mean the same thing.

    You're quibbling over the meaning of "actual investigation". Interpol does not perform investigations. They collate the information resulting from investigation. I don't know how it could be clearer. Want an analogy? Google Maps does not make maps nor do they operate satellites. They collect maps and satellite pictures and display them. Want a car analogy? Ok. Ebay is not involved in car making. However you can buy a car on eBay. But they won't even deliver it to you. But you can use their services to buy a car. OMFG you just said they're not involved in making cars, yet they're making cars available!

    Why don't you point the EXACT part of the site Interpol.int where they "do more than coordinate"?

    Rhetorical -- we all know there is no such thing and you're full of disgusting shit.

  23. Holy shit, you're dense on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Almost all of what Interpol does is send info around. So if it sends info to the US, it's for the US DOJ. When it's in the DOJ's hands, it's in the DoJ's hands, and it's not magically tainted as immune to laws or something just because it was sent through Interpol -- that's just retarded.

    No, what it protects is that if information sent by Interpol to a third member transits through the US for some reason (say, an Interpol employee or, more likely, a member states' delegate transits through the US with a bag of papers) it can't be seized. Not because Interpol wants to hide things from the US (although I can't stop you from believing that) but because it could be used to harass the organization (think subpoena granted by some random judge), or, more likely, because security people in airports could want to have a look at it, and they shouldn't have to be trusted with that info.

  24. Where would you expel Interpol people in the US? on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    Considering they're almost all US citizens employed by the DoJ, I'm wondering.

  25. Hey moron: INTERPOL IS NOT A POLICE FORCE on INTERPOL Granted Diplomatic Immunity In the US · · Score: 1

    It's not an "Organization of international police officers", it's an international organization of police forces, in the same way as the Universal Postal Union is NOT an Organization of International Postal Workers, but an international organization of postal services.

    Do you know of any UPU post offices? Ever gotten a letter delivered to you by an UPU truck? No, you haven't, because such things are just as unreal as an Interpol police officer.
