  1. Re:Not Invented Here Syndrome on Inside FAA's GPS-Based Air Traffic Control · · Score: 1

    I have taken a quick look at gpc.se, and it does seem odd that Håkan Lans is only suing his old lawyers. How about suing his web designer too?

    You can't make nearly a third of the population criminals and the politicians have recognized that.

    Close, but not completely true. They claimed to recognize that, right before the election. Now everything is back to normal and I don't expect them to recognize it again until in about three years.

    Guess what? "The ISS and shuttle astronauts" means "the ISS astronauts and the shuttle astronauts".

  5. Re:Request for Clarification on Fastest Waves Ever Photographed · · Score: 1

    Indeed, the purpose with the choice of units is to relate the field strength to the energies to which a unit length of the field can accelerate an electron/proton. But what physicist cannot immediately see what energy this is (in electron volts) if the field strength is given in volts per meter? How is measuring an electric field strength in any way easier to do with eV/m when V/m gives the exact same numerical value and is also dimensionally correct?

    The parent did not suggest measuring the electric field in joules per meter instead of electron volts per meter. It suggested measuring the electric field in volts per meter instead of electron volts per meter. Which makes sense.

    The difference is that Israel wasn't targeting those civilians.

    Nice troll, but two days before the massacre in Qana the Israeli military told the press that they considered civilians in southern Lebanon a legitimate target.

    Hiding under a desk or picnic blanket will provide protection in the event of a nuclear attack.

    Umm... we do have laws about police conduct. But they're not enforced.

    The reports in Swedish media have been surprisingly fair, in my opinion. Articles generally contain a factual error in just about every paragraph, but that's always the case when you read an article about something you already know something about, and does not suggest to me that some kind of media conspiracy is going on in this particular case. For example, I don't expect the average journalist to understand what BitTorrent actually is.

    Generally though, the mainstream media are consistently slow about reporting facts that support the filesharers. For example, the newspaper DN will never ever report that the police have done anything wrong until the cat is out of the bag and some other mainstream media outlet has already published the story, and so they kept silent as long as they could about the police grabbing hundreds of innocent businesses' servers which they had no warrant for seizing. And a lot of media outlets are reluctant to give any publicity to the Pirate Party. For example TV4 reported about the protests that were being organized by the Pirate Party and other political organizations, and enumerated all organizers except the Pirate Party. My guess is that TV4 do not want to alienate Hollywood, since they no doubt make good money from their shill "reports" about new Hollywood movies in their news shows.

    Well, they did have a lawyer, but I don't know if the lawyer had a lawyer of his own. The lawyer was one of those who got arrested and got his DNA(!) sampled.

    Are you a "BOO HOO why don't we get 100% of the power when have 40% of the votes?" social democrat, or are you with the "BOO HOO, they chose Persson over our anti-environmentalist coalition" right?

    They're simply far enough to the edges. If they are closer to the social democrats, then what exactly is wrong with the left, the social democrats and the greens cooperating? Are you taking this a bit too literally? Do you believe that a political system that does not give all power to the center party is inherently flawed?

    How is the green party not a middle in the road party when 44% of the parliament seats are currently held by parties that the 40% social democratic party find even more difficult to cooperate with, than with the greens?

    The fact that the Green Party "got basically everything they wanted" as the great grand parent stated supports my assertion.

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
