  1. Re:"Sex crimes" on Interpol Issues Wanted Notice For Julian Assange · · Score: 1

    What is is accused of is not a crime at all. The texts of the warrants themselves are double-speaking nonsense. your superhero is the makers and enforcers of law. They are power and money grubbing scum who have nothing to do with morality or what's right. A person who is falsely accused most certainly does have the right to choose if he'll show up somewhere to have power and/or money grubbing scum's minions curtail his rights.

  2. Re:where is ATT and comcast with IPV6? on Free IPv4 Pool Now Down To Seven /8s · · Score: 4, Informative
  3. Re:Defaulting is worse! on The Luck of the Irish Runs Out · · Score: 1

    so what? high tech goods aren't a necessity of life. Ireland can go back to making real wealth, which is taking resources and using labor and minds to add value. There's a planet-sized market for "low-tech' and "medium-tech" goods and foods. That's such a lie, that we need the big corporations to survive, they are the parasites. The bulk of any economy is the small guy and small business. We can burn 90% of the major corporations to the ground and be fine.

    grey noise is even better, like a waterfall far away heard in a rain wikipedia has recordings, pick your favorite noise: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colors_of_noise

  5. Re:One of Our Cancers on DHS Seizes 75+ Domain Names · · Score: 1

    "responsibliity of preventing counterfeit goods and illegal copies of works from entering the US" our customs does nothing of the sort. They only carried about the dollar value of the DVDs I bought in SE asia, they had no means nor interest in whether they were pirated or not. They make you pay a tax on declared items above a certain threshold, and keep you from bringing in diseased food.

  6. Re:One of Our Cancers on DHS Seizes 75+ Domain Names · · Score: 1

    no, primary reason for war was not about right to own slaves. Very sad, that should have been the reason for the war, but it was not. your education, like so many people's, is deficient in this matter. It is a revisionist teaching. There was a series of economic/poitical actions taken against the South by the (also slave owning, by the way) North. This led to war.

  7. Re:One of Our Cancers on DHS Seizes 75+ Domain Names · · Score: 1

    No, the despot thinks what he is doing is right, and anyone who opposes him to be wrong. The policeman who beats a suspect who is "wrong" because he finds them annoying thinks what he is doing is right. We have a constitution for our protection from those who would force their ideas of right and wrong upon us, depriving us of liberty and life when they do so. The excesses of our government today come from ignoring the constitution and its bill of rights.

  8. Re:My credit card doesn't run out of batteries on PayPal Demos Auto-Debit Gumball Machine · · Score: 3, Insightful

    your credit card can't make 25 cent payments. I believe we'll go to a cashless society, all electronic money. That way the banking cartel can get a cut of every transaction no matter how small, and the government can tax, monitor and control all transactions no matter how small. If they consider you a pestilent person, they will cut off your ability to buy and sell.

    gee I thought it was the Network Simulator http://sourceforge.net/projects/nsnam/files/allinone/ns-allinone-2.34/ ns-3 is still in development: http://www.nsnam.org/

    now that's funny, what with Google-warez being the mega-Linux distro/app/service the whole fucking planet runs.

  11. Re:Meh. on British MP Calls For Pornography 'Opt-In' · · Score: 1

    indeed, I was able to circumvent restrictions and get access to porn when I was twelve. And that was long before internet or BBS, I'm talking about "smut" books, pictures and magazines. Strangely enough, my wife also saw porn on videotape with her friends a couple of times when she was a teen. We'll never know what terrible harm was done to us.....pffffft! Actually, near as I can tell you might just see something fun to try 8D

  12. Re:Grammar Nazi Here on Trash-To-Gas Power Plant Gets Greenlight · · Score: 1

    That is false, English has, in addition to compound nouns, compound verbs and compound adjectives.

  13. Re:Don't we have this already? on Trash-To-Gas Power Plant Gets Greenlight · · Score: 1

    Not all organic materials are hydrocarbons (exclusively hydrogen and carbon atoms). Cellulose, for example is chains of sugar (contain oxygen besides the hydrogen and carbon). Plenty of plastics are not hydrocarbons either.

  14. Re:Yet if the lasse fair economics crowd would say on US Embassy Categorizes Beijing Air Quality As 'Crazy Bad' · · Score: 1

    We outsource our manufacturing to take advantage of the lesser costs of a partially enslaved people and much less stringent pollution laws. But this bleeds our own country dry of jobs and small business of which the bulk of our economy is made. Will we reach an equilibrium, or a collapse?

  15. Re:I've got a BETTER emergency rule for you... on How the 'Tech Worker Visa' Is Remaking IT In America · · Score: 2, Insightful

    In 2002 when engineers and IT people needed jobs, that's when the government deliberately opened the floodgates of H1-B visa approvals. Our government is in the back pockets of the corporate elite, they serve the elite's interests rather than the people's.
