  1. Re:Useful for post-war clean up too! on Networked Landmines Work Together · · Score: 1

    You can't tactically just have a deactivation/roundup code. If the ennemy get it... goodbye minefields. So sadly they wont have a 'war is over' system. Did you know that soldiers are supposed to have the plan of their minefields for deminage purpose, because these fields purpose is to slow the ennemy or deny them easy access to an area. Likewise, the plans are most of the time never made, lost and let's not forget that the minefield will change after combat.

  2. Be afraid! on Climate Researchers Feeling Heat From White House · · Score: 1

    We have to raise the Global Warming Threat Level to RED. Your government watch ouver you! Thus we are declaring war on global warming, we're going to get it wherever it hides.

  3. Fun untill... on When Virtual Worlds Collide · · Score: 1

    That forsaken mage raise out of the dirt and reduce you (and you lazer gun) to a pile of cinder and melted metal with one of his fireball... But, it let me wonder, mage, priest and jedi... they all weave some 'magic'... it could lead to an point where you find out that jedi and sith are just the few last remnants of great schools of arcanists.

  4. Re:Stupid Terrorists. on Why Terror Financing is So Tough to Track Down · · Score: 1

    Then one day peoples don't react anymore to these threats, because they are always bogus. You need a mix of fake threats and some real events to feed the fear.

  7. Re:bi -lingual ?? on Words Affect Our Reality - On The Right · · Score: 1

    My wife and I speak 2 languages. We have kids at home, and of course we want them to learn both of these languages. But, for practicallity we taught one before the other to our kids. Why? Because we felt that they needed to know the language that was commonly used in our neibourghood. I'm not sure that one can have 2 native languages. There is always a first one, and then you learn more. What could influance maybe in my opinion is more the way that sentences are made in one language than the words that are used. I think that is what really affect the tought concept.

  8. Re:Not a problem - The Night Elf... on Crank Blogging, Like Phone Calling, Now Illegal · · Score: 1

    So you're that level 60 Night elf who keep murdering poor little orc at the cross roads!

  9. Console FPS. on Online Consoles Marginalizing PC Gaming? · · Score: 1

    Well I belive that PC FPS are by far more superior to their console counterparts for one reason : Mouse aiming. It's much faster than the pad. And unless they add some kind of assist to console, if there ever is a internet server shared by PC and console players, the poor console guys will be cannon fodded.

  10. Yes, it does. on Social Side-Effects Of Internet Use · · Score: 1

    During WW2, soviet dog were trained to go hunt tanks. The dogs carried explosives and ran under tanks were the bomb evantually detonated.

  15. Re:wow.. on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 1

    Actually it's : In America, your customers sue you, litterally. Ask McDonald about the warning on the coffee cups stating that the content IS HOT. All of this came from peoples that used the system. The have no common scence, but the aren't as stupid as we say since they got richer, who knows if it was on purpose.

  16. Re:BUT HEY! on Suing Your Customers: Winning Business Strategy? · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Did you read the article? I guess not. The whole point is not about suing RIAA or anything, the article state quite simply that suing customers is a bad business practice. And that over time, peoples take side with David and not Goliath.

  17. Shit happens. on Windows ATMs by 2005 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    I belive that problems can really happen, it actually hapened to me once. I'm at the store and I pay a ~500$ purchace with my card. First try : Network Error, transaction cancelled. Second time, the machine didn't even try to connect. So I get to an ATM, get the cash and go back to the shop to get my purchace. Later that day, I got to go to the bank, and to my surprise, my cash balance is lower than expected. ~500$ lower, actually the money was lost during the transaction. I go see a councellor telling about the problem, he tells me that I need the transaction paper, the paper is down the trash at the store, so I get to the store, searches the trashcan for the paper, I finally get it, go back to the bank and wait for the councellor. When I see him, he tells me that that wasn't thir faul, and that I'll have to wait a few months to get my money back. Since I had a nice sum there, I told him that I was better to have my money back in the week or that another bank swill get me a their customer. The money was there by night. Error, happens and its never the financial instittutions fault...

    Weed is legalized? I belive you are misinformed. How did you come with something like that? There are some studies concerning allowing the usage of marijuanna for medical uses, but pot legal? Not at all. I belive you are talking about Amsterdam's red light district cofee shops.
