[...] the arrest of a man on Thursday in south-east France for suspected al-Qaeda links: 'CERN officials said the man, whose name has not been revealed, was working under contract with an outside institute and said he had no contact with anything that could have been used for terrorism. [...]'
You have to decide: Either he's in arrest for a crime, or he is suspected and nothing is known or proven yet (and most likely never will). I mean it's right in there: They have not found any ties. They just kinda heard from someone that kinda he could somehow be in an organization that somehow kinda could possibly be linked to...uuum...something. One parrot tells it to the next parrot, and soon it's al-Quaeda, and he's arrested for shit.
But a friend told me that he came from Morocco to France, and the cops there were just like in Morocco. When he came to Germany, he was shocked, that the cops treated him like a human being. (And our cops still are on the level of semi-criminal bouncers who beat up people because they like to. It must be pretty damn bad in France.) So I can comprehend how it can come to shit like this. But that does not make it OK.
I will wait and see what charges they bring up (if any). Or if it's the usual witch trial, like in those countries... you know... where "terrorism" "comes from"...
with generous amounts of aid from mainland Denmark
Doesn't sound very self-sufficient to me. More like the mainland payed for some power generators that are now used by the island. Same as if they would simply buy energy from the mainland.
I would have given them more respect, if they would have been able to finance it themselves.
And WTF is it with that:
straw-burning furnaces to heat their sturdy brick houses
They could as well just dig for coal or use manure for those fires. Not very progressive...
Someone did explain it nicely, by saying that accelerating our space ship so close to light speed (99.9something) would instantly suck in half the planets and stars around it, creating a nice little black hole.
Especially notifying your corporate admin that he's a incompetent dumbass for not even knowing what that is!
He tried to disconnect my computer from the network because I apparently either had a virus or magic hacking skills, to make a little window with custom messages pop up right on his desktop in this completely unsecured network!
We laughed so hard!! ^^
But then leaving the admin password for all computers in the network on a windows share in a text file, and even updating it for me, which nearly got the whole team fired, explains why he didn't got fired for it.
Guess which company that was!
The prime-example-for-a-hierarchy-of-incompetence and defunct European part of Lycos*!:D
___ * Yeah fuckers! I told you to wait for a couple of years, so I could buy you for an apple and an egg, when I left! Thank you for making it possible without me lifting a single finger!!:D
Because you never hire one. Because that would mean you would need to hire a headhunter first. Or else your headhunter will not be specially selected for greatness, and thus fail to select a specially selected headhunter or other person for greatness. But you can't hire that headhunter because you don't have a headhunter. Because... *fast forward* becthawomeywonethiahedutefioeyueauallnbes$i%os+n|r:r_e{e@a_... *head explodes*...
Wait, let me start again... *rewinds*...
Because you never hire one. Because that would mean you FAIL.
(Aaaah, that's better... No stupid reasoning and thinking. Man, the Internet is great!)
Oh, here's a good example: If you know would laugh at me, because of the typo in the last line, but offer me to learn from it, I would consider that a fair deal.:)
Well. They die. That's how natural selection works. And it's a good thing, because it makes humanity as a whole stronger. His children are much less likely to do it again.
The real problem is the idiots who actually listen to the biggest retards and pussies in our community that complain about hurting themselves by being idiots. And no, not only listening to them. Actively supporting them and spreading their view of reality.
Why are the only people with a spine to stand behind their reality always idiots or assholes (e.g. politicians)? Did we become so weak?
I, for one, say that the morally and politically correct thing to do, when someone despite the warnings opens a nuclear battery, eats it, and starts to become sick, is to laugh at him for the idiot he was. But offer him to be forgiven, when he shows that he learned from it, and agrees that it was pretty dumb. (Assuming that we won't let him die until then.) That way he will be able to improve himself, humanity, and become a member of society again.
Intead of what we do now: Hurting the whole community, by rewarding those that do worst, thereby teaching the opposite lesson.
That's actually not correct. Because the group that can watch you on the internet is in no way comparable to the local crowd. First of all, the Internet crowd is gigantically larger. And second, people in different places are different.*
One example is, how when people get on TV, they can be totally destroyed by the massive critique that they never got in their local communities, even when being alive for quite a time. The whole view on a person can be twisted and strange. Imagine someone doing something stupid in front of a camera. Now to everyone who watched it, he's stupid. But off the camera, in 99.9% of his life, he is a great and wise person. Doesn't matter. Every time he gets on camera, people will call all other people in, and yell "Hey, watch that camera! The idiot is back again!" And then interpret everything he does though the goggles of prejudice. Now imagine how quickly even single people with a totally different life and reality can misinterpret you.
Basically you're doomed to get wrongly judged by the most incompetent people who sit at home in their underwear, on a hunt for "idiots". Basically like Wikinazis with the ability to report you to the police if you misbehave.
__ * Which is the cause that big states by definition can't work. Everyone who thinks that there is such a thing as global basic rules, should really travel a bit, and stop being an egocentric extremist.
Oooohhh... did I poke your distortion field of ignorance? Cry me a river.
What part of "fact is fact is fact is fact is fact" don't you understand? Do you really first need the blood of children on your hands, before you stop looking away? Because actually, you did not start a civil war to throw out a government that deliberately murdered others for own financial profit. So you already got blood on your hands.
I hope you will live forever. With images of those dead people haunting you until the end of all times. (Or until you do something against it.)
Or did they? I know from experience, that companies all the time state that they have no intention of doing something *ever*... until the day where they actually do what they had long planned and just wanted to keep secret.
Of course that makes such a company look like complete untrustworthy idiots. But hey, managers are managers for a reason (= huge ego. Everything that makes them look bad "does not exist"). ^^
No. More like their chipsets being utter crap for some years now. Always hailed as the greatest in the tests, but when you actually buy them, you notice weird things. Like the main bus not being big enough, so that a average raid0 can make professional sound cards crackle beyond usability. or like the builtin NIC being so bad, that you actually have to buy another one and disable the on-board one in the bios to avoid it crashing your OS on the first transferring packet. Things like that.
I would have never ever ever bought another nVidia-based mainboard in my life.
I think it's quite good for them to concentrate more on their graphics cards. Since AMD/ATi now is a pretty strong competitor. And if intel finally enters the market for gaming cards, they will have a hard wind blowing in their faces. It'd be sad to see nVidia go out of the graphics business too, as they are doing quite well compared to ATi in terms of quality. (Ask the Demo scene, every Linux user who tried them, Carmack or any other game developer out there. ^^)
Uuum, if that was biting the hand that feeds him, then it's him who might get swept under the rug in no time. ^^
But if you *really* thing, the music industry is a powerful industry, you're massively uninformed. Ask any insider about the yearly revenue of the whole industry. Worldwide. It's a joke. They can't even beat industries on the size of the toilet brush industry. Let alone what's left of their profit, after refusing to go with the times. They are mostly made of 4 medium-sized companies.
One can sweep them from this planet in no time at all.
I give them 5-7 years. And you know why? Because they even said so themselves!:D

I prefer my Large Hardon Collider. Now THAT's a weapon of ass destruction!
No. You just need to "smuggle" a giant ray of death "through" airport security. And then walk trough the burning debris.
I've got news! The trial already happened. And I have a snippet of the only recording that got out.

I just read your comment as:
Just imagine how useful these could be to disable people.
...and there we have the evil flipside of the coin.
Sorry...
