    The farmer was not sentenced to death, he was sentenced life in jail. The charge was that farmer evaded 3.8 million Yuan (~$600,000) in toll by dressing in fake military uniform and putting fake military license plates on his truck. Apparently pretending to be a military personnel is illegal everywhere I know. And apparently the Chinese highway toll is freaking high.

    Chinese online banking systems are heavily relying on ActiveX because of the same reason of South Korea. So every time I recommended some one in China use non IE browsers, they would say "Duh, not working with my bank..."

    I think it is lost in translation or that Aussie news website is spreading FUD. The Chinese news I read has information like this

    1. 1, Two tourists, one 70 years old the other one is 77 years old, were found radioactive March 23. Both were from places far away from Fukushima Daiichi site.
    2. 2, The 77 years old showed strong but harmless radioactivity. The other one had less radioactivity.
    3. 3, Both were sent to hospital at March 23:15.
    4. 4, The 77 years old took a hot water shower in hospital.
    5. 5, The 70 years old did nothing but sleep.
    6. 6, Both left hospital at March 24 00:20am with their own clothes.
    7. 7, No mention about luggage.

    I bought CDs, now I buy from iTunes, and I pay Pandora to listen without ad, and money goes to the musicians I like. In the future I pay $10 per month and I can stop buying from iTunes and stop paying pandora and my money goes to... whoville. It sounds more like loose loose loose to me.

  18. Re:What scientists... on New Mexico Bill To Protect Anti-Science Education · · Score: 1

    I know a X-ray scientist (Ph. D.) who thinks evolution theory is wrong, because there are too many things evolution theory can not explain. And even I agree that species are changing over time, he believe that's because god is changing them. He also believe BP didn't do much damage to Mexico gulf, because most of the oil can be dissolved or dispersed in water. And I don't talk to him much and I tried not to argue with him.
