  1. Re:wrong on Even More Restriction For German Internet · · Score: 1

    Pity she can't see that the threat is from people like her.

    No. You're still buying into her "reality" too much.
    There is no treat other than her, and she perfectly knows how things really are. But she *wants* to oppress people.
    Pay attention that these people are trained in twisting reality and rhetoric techniques.
    What they say basically *never* is what they want. It is what makes *you* *act* the way they want. I know because I looked into these techniques a bit myself.
    So basically the best thing you can do, is to never ever even listen to what they say. Not even the tonality. (There are tricks to forcibly speak very calm, stable, etc, to make people quiet down. And often it matters more *how* you say it. Which works especially well on women, because they are more emotionally receptive.)

    Wait for it being renamed to MiniLuv.

    I present you this insanely ingenious contraption from the 1885, called "the bicycle"!

    In its mountain bike edition, it is as cool as a jogger and a SUV (or off-road motorbike) combined, keeps you fit while still being much easier than walking. Also you can drive it pretty much everywhere and used it's available for less than $100.

  4. Re:How? on New HIV Strain Discovered · · Score: 1

    That's common retarded badmouthing: 'Because they're Africans they must be "oh-so-primitive".'

    As the summary states, it is very optimized for humans, and so very likely started in humans too. Which also makes more (common) sense.

    Then the question is, why you prefer OrCad? Vendor lock-in? Monkey see, monkey do? No clue? (Hiring manager != electronics engineer)

    I think in those cases one might not want to work for *you*. ^^

    A friend once said to me, that the motto is "A non-consumer is non-existing." (Sounds better in German.)
    Which should be the new "Arbeit macht frei.". (Ok, that back then was way worse. But the mindset is just as fucked up.)

  13. Re:Much as we hate TPM here on /. on Bootkit Bypasses TrueCrypt Encryption · · Score: 1

    I saw a lengthy video that really went into the depth of it. And the main point was/is, that TPM in itself is a great security concept. It's just that the problem is, that it's controlled by them. And they decided, not to trust you. (As that short video we all know also explains.)

    Luckily, they left a hole in it as big as an asteroid belt: You can change who controls it, and so take back your computer. From then on, you change it so that you are trusted and everything else is not, lock the hole down, and you're good.

    The "problem" only was, that you then had no access to the Vista file systems anymore. But you would have formatted the system, or not have Vista at all anyway, so it would not matter. :)

  17. Re:No problem, there ar Open Source apps. on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1

    It's called SIP. And it is, what Skype is a cheap proprietary knock-off of.

    Ekiga uses it. As do a 1001 other softphones. And even many hardware ones.

    And with the right provider, you get a real landline phone number in your home city, ability to call emergency numbers, really really cheap per-minute prices, and you still can unplugy that phone from its Ethernet jack and stick it into a DSL line in East-Dirthole in the country of Nowheristan, and still get all that. Just like you were at home.

    I personally use this one for Germany: http://www.sipgate.de/ (Not the cheapest of all though, as far as I know. There are many others.)

  18. Re:Ideal time to make it use open standards on Licensing Dispute Threatens Future of Skype · · Score: 1

    Have you never heard of SIP? Aha VoIP. Which Skype is a cheap, bad, proprietary knock-off of it?

    That's like not knowing youtube, but knowing the cheap underclass copy myvideo.de. (Which sadly is true for some people I knew.)

  19. Re:sheeple on BSkyB To Launch 3D TV Service In 2010 · · Score: 1

    WTF? In Germany we have a simple principle: Someone not delivering what you have a contract on, is the same, so matter if that something is money, or anything else. So there is a law for when you can send reminders and what you can demand. And if they ignore it all, you can simply either hold back the money that you think they should not get because of their non-deliverance.
    Or you can terminate the contract without previous notice, and without any strings attached.

    And they can not do much against it. Just as you can not do much when you do not pay a service and they stop delivering it.

    Is that so hard? Stop putting up with such a shit. Just stop paying and immediately send them a warning reminder, on the reasons. And that you will terminate the contract when they do not fix it in 14 days!

  20. Who cares? on Games Fail To Portray Gender and Ethnic Diversity · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Except for pseudo-political-correct pathetic people who can't look beyond it.

    If I make a game in some post-apocalyptic Texas-like desert, of course you will see massively more Rob Zombies than Mahatma Gandhis. And actually intelligent people know that this has nothing to to with genders or ethnics.

    When I hire the best 20 people I can get for the job, I do not care if all 20 of them are white conservative males in their mid-50s, or half-Bantu half-grizzly half-swine-flu-victim-zombie girlie midgets in pink snake skin dresses. That's what it being irrelevant means. :)

    Race or gender quotas are really disguised racism. It's just the "other extreme" of the full circle. ;) (Yeah, that really describes it very well.)

    But one way to make you and even the hypocrites happy, is to use only two kinds of persons in your games: 100% average gray mixes of neutrality, and total freaking extremes. What are they going to say? That group chainsaw-vomiting pinky-toe made from knitted sea grass belts was not ethnically diverse enough when they fought that horde of grayish indistinct blobs of dust?
