  1. There is no reason to go trough the night! on Solar Plane To Make Public Debut · · Score: 1

    Just follow the sun. "Heliostationary" relative to earth, if you will. :)

  2. Re:What's with on FBI Files a "Secret Justification" For Gag Order · · Score: 1

    No. Your concept is faulty, because you think Obama would have absolute power, and be the leader. While actually, he is just a strawman, like any politician for decades or ever centuries.

  3. Re:What? on FBI Files a "Secret Justification" For Gag Order · · Score: 1

    Additionally, if the "justification" is secret, it's not really a justification, is it?
    A justification always is from one person to another one (in this case us, but can also be the same person, if that person needs it.)

  4. Re:So, to draw a parallel on Another Question Of Search Engine Legality and Infringement · · Score: 0, Troll

    You should have done the following:
    Install a trojan backdoor on as much systems as possible. Then frag the admins's systems trough some of those backdoors (which should be encrypted), and at least twice trough an external anonymizing proxy.

    But frag them slowly, taking all the backups with you.
    That will teach 'em to learn their security, for sure. ^^

    Then wait for the new security update to be announced. ^^

  5. Re:WIPO sucks ass crackers. on Domain-Name Wars, Rise of the Cybersquatters · · Score: 1

    Well, if it's so easy to sue someone out of his domain, then why don't you just sue them out of it again, and move back in?
    (Let your cousin sue, if you need to.)

    I, on the other hand, vomit a little. It really is the Goatse of words.

  8. the "World Intellectual Property Organization" on Domain-Name Wars, Rise of the Cybersquatters · · Score: 1

    the World Intellectual Property Organization, which ruled in its favor

    No shit? Who would have thought, that an organization, who names itself after something that does not exist, is 100% biased? ^^

    On the other hand: Who are they, and how can they "rule" anything? Sure, they can all sit down, play important, and sing a scrap of paper. So what?

    My answer would be, what the composer Brahms responded to a review of his latest symphony: "Dear sir: I am seated in the smallest room in my house. I have your review in front of me, and very soon it will be behind me."

    How does it handle data errors? You know. That kind that needs scrubbing?
    And: Can you define your own key? Preferably a keyfile on a destructible USB stick. (In case where the data is more important than you, so they can't torture it out of you.)

  11. No manual control? on Investigators Suspect Computers Doomed Air France Jet · · Score: 2, Interesting

    What about, you know... manual control?
    Sure there are no mechanic cables anymore, but a wire controls the low-level hardware.
    But at least it has to have just as basic piece of electronics that has no software or big complexity, and that allows you to manually steer the plane.
    (No, that is not too hard to do, even on such big jets. You just have to be more careful about quick actions, stalling the plane & co.)

    A piece of electronics that is so simple, that the only thing killing it, is an electric shock right into its mainboard.

    Electronics failure is never a cause! (Because: What would that be?)
    The reason usually is a software error, that electric shock, or some other external source.

  12. Re:Why not have both? on The Battle Between Google and Facebook · · Score: 1

    You must be new here. Expect the poster to be close to criminal (retardedness|evilnees).

    But you must first get into their elite cult circle of demigods, passing trough several levels of introduction tests and approvals, to be able to upload everything.

  14. The point of the tag? Stupidity? on The Video Bay, Now In Beta · · Score: 0, Troll

    I have to ask: What is the point of the video> tag, when there is a perfectly good and very flexible tag?
    I used that thing back in 2004, to allow me to play back anything that I throw at it, as long as the browser supports it. It worked nicely.
    The only thing missing, was that the browser could not overlay HTML over it. Just as with form fields. Which was a bug, and should be fixed.

    So those new tags are really pointless.

    The only reason I can think of, is to follow the general philosophy of HTML5 (vs. XHTML2), to foster the ability of unprofessionals and idiots to use it, despite their output being riddled with bugs and horrible stuff. Because <object data="some-media-file.ext">, and the ability to define the mime type and interpreter (eg a java app) is too complicated for them.
    Do we really want to go back to 1999? With 2009s version of intro Flash movies, marquee elements on extreme texture backgrounds and bad animated gifs?

    "The homepages are back! Now with even more pointlessness, horrible code and flashes that make your children twitch!"

    Yeah. There chocolate is the best on the world! You can go into a small town, and find a huge set of chocolates. Also is the form of a hot chocolate.

    The food in small countries on the border of many other countries is most of the time great. And with the countries being France, Italy, Germany and Austria, you can bet that they got a good mix. ^^

    Nope. He's not a liar. The thing with the nomenclature is the point. (Also it was long ago!)
    They have some nice things in their army, that others do not have. ^^
    But even if it were F-117A jets, I would not find this any bad.

    The Mediterranean "Sea" is actually an ocean. At least to everyone you ask here.
    Also, why wouldn't it be one? It has the same properties.

    As far as I knew, the the telco expenses were pretty good there. Hmm... One should check this on the websites.

    It's true that everything is pretty expensive. As in Luxemburg. But people also earn more money (hint: *because of it!), so they can pay it.

    Many people there live in small towns, far away from others. They do not see many others, except for tourists. Who in winter are very annoying, because of their stupid after-ski partys. ^^

    Just *be one of them* (do not only play it), and they will accept you way sooner. :)

    You are really believing this shit, are you?

    I can't count the levels on which this is just wrong.

    First of all, I thought in the US (and many other countries), it were the rule, that if you murdered foreign people, and did other bad things to them, you would in the first place be a "hero", as long as they are officially the "evil ones". (Example: The "soldiers".)

    Then, do you really think, Iran can demand *anything* from the USA? lol. You must be out of your mind!

  25. Switzerland and perhaps Estonia! on Emigrating To a Freer Country? · · Score: 5, Informative

    I recommend Switzerland. They have the most democratic and fair government system on the planet (from what I know).

    The fairness of the election in their capital city is mathematically proven to be the fairest system possible!

    The control of the government is very grassroots-style. People have the last word. (Read more about it on Wikipedia.)

    The nature there is incredibly beautiful! I recommend living on the hillside of a green valley, with huge mountains around you, with snow on top. In the summer, it is hot. In the winter there is much snow.

    And from what I saw, people are very relaxed down there. We in Germany joke about them being a bit "slow" when speaking. But that is only a result of this.

    Also I don't think there are many other places in the world, that offer you nice broadband connections, and such a clean nature (with the water you are drinking coming directly from the glaciers!)

    Even their military is so cool, they have bunkers in the hills, were they hide their modern fighter jets. And they are so independent, that they don't even need to be in the EU. (As a military pilot, you have a good chance of flying a F-19. At least a guy who actually flew one, told me this.)

    The only thing you might miss, is the ocean. For that you have to drive to Italy. (Right below it. At Venice for example.)

    I dare you to beat that package. :D
