    Christianity - 2000+ year old goat herder and camel driver scifi...

    You don't watch the SciFi channel and think it is real, do you? Same with the bible, myths and nothing else. Science confirms.

    How many? None is my guess, but I would not expect anything else from USA - The world's newest banana republic. Land of the unfree, without free speech and living in a police state that is bordering on economic collapse with a president that is an imbecile and a criminal. What a paradise!

  5. Re:Well duh!! on Norwegian Broadcaster Evaluates BitTorrent Distribution Costs · · Score: 1

    I think this is a great thing too. I live in Florida and Nett-TV doesn't cut it, the delays over the Atlantic makes it too slow and I have basically given up on it. Getting access to the shows in bittorrent format and with full TV quality is great for us expats. It allows us to keep up from time to time. Esp sport would be great, the sport shown on TV here in the US is not very Norwegian friendly :-)

  6. Re:They've got to be kidding on Statue of Galileo Planned for Vatican · · Score: 1

    "Sin" is a concept of certain actions deemed to be worse than other types of generally bad actions and claimed that a mythical being find these so called "sins" to be so horrible that he will punish those who commit these "sins" unless they become good little slave people. Holy crap!

    I don't find anything to be sinful, I find things done in the world that are bad, not because some mythical being allegedly has claimed them to be bad, but because it is the right thing to do as a human being living in a social collective and it makes the cog wheels of society turn more smoothly and benefits the vast majority of people and ultimately benefits myself. I do not need a mythical being to tell me this nor do I need the so called priests operating in said gods place to threaten me with torture for an eternity. It's just a bronze age view on right and wrong that is totally idiotic in todays world, it was created for goat herders and camel drivers and to be considered their version of scifi. You don't watch the SciFi channel today and think what you see, is real, do you?

    "Sin" - a man made construct used to keep and control people inside of a religion.

    In other words, sin is pure bullshit!

  8. Re:If you think 158 pages is a bit much.. on 158 Pages of Microsoft's Dirty Laundry · · Score: 1

    Well, I would say you were really uninformed if you bought a low-end PC to run full Vista on. Everyone knew it would require a badass PC to run on. And MS, let me tell you this: Vista will never get close to any of my machines, not even new ones I will buy in the future. For all practical purposes, for me Vista is not existing and I sure as hell will not fork over any money to MS for this piece of shit!

  9. Re:nazi ban on EU Views Net Censorship As a "Trade Barrier" · · Score: 1

    No and this is what you have a problem with, I don't care what you say, you can tell me as much nazi crap you want in private. The ban is on public promoting nazism, it is not a general censorship on nazism or its ideas. There are no internet firewall that censors nazi stuff. In each of those countries you can search on the terms as much as you want, read nazi pages all over the world. Do you get it now?

  10. nazi ban on EU Views Net Censorship As a "Trade Barrier" · · Score: 1

    This ban on anything related to nazis has been in place since the end of WWII and I don't think you find many people in the affected countries disagree with the ban, except for the batshit crazy few neo nazis but they seem to get around it rather nicely in some countries.

    And that is basically the only thing banned, else you are free to say or do anything. I have no problems with the nazi ban, large portions of my family (non jewish) suffered dearly under the nazis and as far as I'm concerned it's a criminal enterprise and as such illegal. End of story for me.

  11. Re:Interesting! on Reactor Shutdown Darkens South Florida · · Score: 2, Informative

    LOL! I live in the Orlando area and we got the power back on after approx 40 min.. Slight chaos outside to say the least, people lose all their common sense when the traffic lights go out and start doing all kinds of smart things. Quite a few crumpled cars in the closest intersection.

  12. Re:Review summary on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 1

    Can it display futhark, mandarin, arabic, latin and cyrllic characters dynamically on each key so that when you need to type in a different language, they keys change to reflect the language? No, then why do you even start to compare the two?

  13. Re:Review summary on Optimus Keyboard Starts Shipping · · Score: 1

    Indeed. The old IBM keyboards were just perfect. I still miss them, typing this on a shitty keyboard with no feel.

    They had a feel of quality that no modern keyboard has and if Optimus can give that in addition to the OLED goodness, I'm more than happy to fork over $1500 for one.

    In one single post, this coward managed to demonstrate very clearly what is wrong with USA today and why it is heading towards becoming a third world banana republic. A post totally free of any content except a liberal dose of tripe and which is doing nothing but enlarging the gap in USA between "them" and "us", no matter if you are "them" or "us"

    USA should follow Norways example on how to deal with RIAA, MPAA and other such extortion outfits.
    http://torrentfreak.com/norwegian-police-deal-massive-blow-to-mpaa-lawyer-080220/

    "Like many lawyers in the anti-piracy arena, Tøndel tries to blur civil and criminal law to obtain leverage. The police are clear - their priority is investigating real crimes, such as murder and robbery and sadly for him, file-sharing does not fall into those categories. Tøndel must now make his claims against alleged pirates in a civil court.

    Following this major setback, Tøndel wrote to the Department of Justice and demanded a meeting with them. Unfortunately for Tøndel, the response wasn't what he'd been hoping for -the Department of Justice completely refused him a meeting- leaving him to start suing IP addresses, which he's not allowed to do. Ouch."

    Absolute bullshit based on right wing political propaganda and nowhere near reality. I come from one of these countries and I don't recognize anything in your post.

  18. Re:Model at this point.... on The Benefits of 'Vendor-Free' Open Source IT · · Score: 1

    We (a very large software company with closed source) have a clause stating we will produce a bugfix within 24 hrs after the bug has been assigned to a developer for Priority 1 issues (down production system). That is basically the same as what you saw.

  19. Re:Humbug yourself. on Natural Selection Can Act on Human Culture · · Score: 1

    Look at the Nordic countries. They have evolved as societies beyond for instance what USA has. They all rank high on Human Development Index, low on religion, high on happiness, and if you look at statistics over at nationmaster.com, you'll find them on top of almost every statistics and way above USA except in economy and military, even though some of them surpass USA economically in certain areas..

    I think this is a clear indication of cultures evolving.
