  1. man made... on WHO Raises Swine Flu Threat Level · · Score: 1
  2. Re:US? on Why Digital Medical Records Are No Panacea · · Score: 1

    And yes, I mean no third world references but the big issues the US face currently.

  3. US? on Why Digital Medical Records Are No Panacea · · Score: 1

    Is this a US-only situation?
    Or is it also true for other developing nations?

  4. Greed on Music Copyright In EU Extended To 70 Years · · Score: 1

    Why can't artists behave like normal people?
    I.e.: work, earn and pay/save for pensions?
    Why does the copyright thing have to pay for their retirement and beyond?
    Why does this whole greed thing have to stifle our creative possibilities? See http://thru-you.com/ and imagine that with some golden oldies works off of TV?

  5. Re:Not surprised on Time Warner Shutting Off Austin Accounts For Heavy Usage · · Score: 1

    No way?!
    Ever thought of a few distro ISO's?
    Windows updates? Or RC's?
    Some music streaming in the background between 8 and 18:00 to ease the silence. That is half a G per day!
    44 is not much at all. And no, I am not in South Korea.

    And yes North Korea sanctions are abusive. USA should shut up and solve their own issues. See a parallel here?

  6. 44? on Time Warner Shutting Off Austin Accounts For Heavy Usage · · Score: 3, Interesting

    44 GB?
    That is just 10 DVD's!
    Not even two per day for a wholeweek!
    Why is that abuse if he paid for bandwidth and the didn't tell him that there is a lower limit?

  7. sealed the court? on Judge Opens Hearing On RealDVD Legal Battle · · Score: 1

    css has been an ineffective copy restriction for some time.
    you can de-css stuff easily at home.
    You could copy discs 1:1 (i.e.: verbatim) without issue as well.
    so does the judge know?

  8. censorship on BT Blocks Access To Pirate Bay · · Score: 1

    This is plain censorship.
    The site was not convicted, some of the owners were. (yet no end in sight for appeals etc)
    Complain where you can.
    Boycott if you can.

  9. help on What the Pirate Bay Verdict Could Mean For Google · · Score: 0

    Why then doesn't GOOGLE help TPB?

  10. secure on Robo-Arm Signatures Are Legal, Gov't Buys One · · Score: 1

    How can such an arm be secure?
    I mean: how is the data transmitted? Any details?

  11. True nature? on South Park Creators Given Signed Photo of Saddam Hussein · · Score: 1

    The true american nature?
    Capture the man and torture him about his WMD's that didn't exist.
    Can't GI-joes give up when it makes sense?
    And what about the signed pic? How can anybody sane be happy or proud about that? American imperialism, American greed, American thirst for control, military-industrial complex, etc. Bad, bad, bad... See what they do when North Korea launches some missile. Not even a warhead. Nobody can do that except for the USA of course.

  12. Re:I must be missing something on Facebook Cuts Off Pirate Bay Links · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Local Law is what you are missing.
    Your context is non-Swedish.

  13. Change? on EFF Says Obama Warrantless Wiretap Defense Is Worse than Bush · · Score: 0, Troll

    That MUST be the change he promised us.
    Wake up. There is no change.

  14. Change? on Obama DOJ Sides With RIAA · · Score: 4, Insightful

    A change for the worse? I mean, when the government tries to 'help' a judge to make a fair decision...

  15. pgpfone! on European Crackdown On Skype "Loophole" · · Score: 1

    Where is that Linux port for pgpfone?
    We should all use that product and be happy because there's no backdoor in that one yet?

  16. The whole idea of poker is statistics. on Casinos Warn iPhone Card-Counting App is Illegal · · Score: 2, Interesting

    Why is counting cards illegal in poker or whatever playing environment? The whole idea of poker is statistics. And there's even a rule/law against that? Land of the free?

  17. Linux's failure to show significant market share.. on Torvalds Rejects One-Size-Fits-All Linux · · Score: 1

    It's allmost big enough for me.
    I mean: I can get the software.
    Nice, interesting stuff.
    I can get support.
    Most stuff even works!
    So...

  18. Embrace... on Microsoft Update Slips In a Firefox Extension · · Score: 1

    & Extend...

  19. So much for... on Obama Sides With Bush In Spy Case · · Score: 1

    Change!
    The one word that he campaigned with.
    He is just a different side of the same dollar.
    WHere are the fuel taxes? Kyoto agreement? Iraq demobilisation? Closing down of > 10% of the bases on foreign soil?
    The dollar is worthless and what is he doing to fix that? Create more dollars.
    Let us watch what (positive) change Os^Hbama will bring.

  20. Re:This bill is wrong on Stimulus Bill Contains Net Neutrality Provision · · Score: 1

    `Communist` said the ex-capitalist and he nationalized a few banks. More businesses to follow.

  21. The Scope of US E-Waste? on The Scope of US E-Waste · · Score: 1

    The scope of course is immense, as is the US consumption.
    (both in absolute and in relative terms)
    So what is the news here?
    *Everybody* needs to reduce their waste footprint.

  22. change? on Obama Picks RIAA's Favorite Lawyer For Top DoJ Post · · Score: 1

    In what respect is this choice *in* the perspective of the proverbial 'change' that Os^Hbama advertised? I see nothing but 'old boys', at least coming from the established lobbying areas of the USA government. No unknowns, no `small` people, no 'differing' people. No change at all from my perspective. It's just another side of the same dollar.

  23. Navit on Smooth Open Street Maps For the iPhone · · Score: 2, Informative

    http://www.navit-project.org/ and http://wiki.navit-project.org/index.php/Main_Page are the urls to Navit, a car navigation system with routing engine. Of course it also works when on foot, it can use open street maps and runs on various devices (my own being a PC and an HP Ipaq H2210). It is still in development but is usable.

  24. !new but... on New iPhone Apps Help Drivers Beat Speed Traps · · Score: 1

    This is not new.
    On almost any Windows-mobile compatible device you can run tomtom and with a POI file it can warn you, in advance, for speedtraps, cafes, malls, etc. So if the data would be interchangable this could be a win-win situation for both iPhone and TomTom users.

  25. Re:Monetization on German Doctor Cures an HIV Patient With a Bone Marrow Transplant · · Score: 1

    The 'known' relation between HIV and AIDS is not accepted by the critics. They say:
    The virus has not been isolated.
    The isolation has not been done in the open.
    Nobody has replicated isolating HIV.

    As I udnerstand it:
    The virus needs to be isolated at various patients,
    The pations must not carry other virusses, diseases.
    Then the patients get AIDS which has to be caused by HIV (which has to be proven).
    AIDS is a complex of *known* diseases.
    Perhaps caused by the expen$ive medication.
    Why wasn't all this cleared up after ~30 years of AIDS? Why didn't medication go down in price?
    Why is the medication so bad that you get AIDS-like symptoms?
    Why do HIV+ people recover or at least lead a healthy life without medication?
    I don't know for sure. I don't have HIV nor AIDS, I won't let them test me.
    I am not a doctor or virus-wizard.
    I am just an interested party.

    So no flame-bait, just what they write.
    AIDS/HIV research is much shadier than flu research. Why?
