  1. Re:How universal is this. on Why Most Published Research Findings Are False · · Score: 1

    Nobody is actually arguing over the the cause of global warming anymore either. Get with the times. The recent standpoint for scientifically based climate skeptics is either, that global warming is not really that bad, or that we can't do anything about it.

    Yes. I think what he meant was that Denmark offered peaceful cooperation as long as Nazi-germany treated danish citizens including the danish jews fairly. For this reason Denmark was the only occupied country that wasn't purged, and were the only place Jews didn't even have the wear the David star. Germany later changed the stance on Denmark, and this ended the peaceful cooperation.

    So no, Denmark didn't really stand-up to Germany on a global scale, not even for their own sovereignty, but they did stand up to an occupying force on behalf of the citizens.

    Please don't use XHTML. The only way to make it work in IE is to serve it as text/html, and then it is parsed by HTML parsers not by XHTML parsers. On top of that it gets parsed as quirky HTML not even strict.

    No one actually uses XHTML, but many people tries and makes this mistake and just end up getting XML parsed at quirky HTML, which is much worse than just writing strict HTML.

    He might be 28 but it he looks 16, likely because the producers has decided he should look younger than he is. Shatner has always looked 40-something no matter what his real age was.

  8. Re:CitroÃn, manufacturing this? Be serious... on Gran Turismo 5 Prologue Spawns Real-Life Car · · Score: 1

    I don't know where you get that impression from, but French car-makers like all car-makers in Europe uses standard engines by now (and chassis, etc..), and as such perform completely average like all other European cars. Peugout actually has a number of excellent series which are cheap, nice looking and the same performance as everybody else. Certainly French cars are much better than American cars, because they perform very well in corners, and up small mountain roads.

  13. Will they fix it? on Microsoft and Nokia Adopt OSS JQuery Framework · · Score: -1

    Hopefully they will fix JQuery to make it stop abusing HTTP headers, and act more standard compliant. It is one of the major issues with jQuery that it transmits data in the headers where it doesn't belong. Among other things this breaks at various point in various browsers; 4k in IE, 8k in Firefox, plus it breaks most types of HTTP caches.

  14. Re: really... on Good Email For Kids? · · Score: 1

    It was the exact same address. I changed my email-setup from having one machine pull emails from multiple places and filtering them locally into forwarding all emails to GMail. I would never use GMail for business purposes because their license says they own everything you send through it, we can't have them own our business secrets or copyright material that is emailed.

  15. GMail Spam on Good Email For Kids? · · Score: 1, Informative

    GMail is not pretty good at sorting spam, it is the worst I've ever seen. Not only does it let tens of spam-emails through every day, it randomly tags one non-spam mail as spam every week. My former spamassassin only let 1-2 spams through a week, and false positives was limited to 1-2 per year. Compared to spamassassin; GMail is horrible. How can it be that bad, when it can compare so many emails and just check for duplicates????

    To correct it even more: Bin Laden wasn't even a figurehead or a source of inspiration until the US made him one. He was the source of funding, and incidently the only person tying a several terrorist groups together because they were all smooching off him.

    Bjørn Lomborg like all the big 'sceptics' now agress that global warming is not only real, it is also human made. The new defense for 'sceptics' is that it is not worthwhile to stop the change and more profitable to adapt to the changing climate.

    In short, you are several years behind in your denial than leading global warmning sceptics. Please get with the times.

    As many other point out Stardocks games are not DRM-free. However the publisher of Stardocks games is Paradox Interactive, and all their own games are 100% DRM free. Their most recent games are Europa Universalis 3 (with 2 expansions), and EU: Rome. I can also highly recommend their older games like Hearts of Iren 2 and Victoria.

    If you were a squatter in someone else's house and they gave you money to leave and go live with your fellow X among the Xian lands, you would really need to be grateful they didn't just kick your ass.
    Except wait, it appears you tried to fight to keep the proper owner out and got your ass kicked anyway. Too bad for you.

    WHAT???

    I think you got the conflict upside down. The palestinians were living there but didn't like to secede a small part of their nation to the Israelis(zionists at the time), so the Israelis backed by the US threw them out of the rightfull homes. Besides I don't know how this silly idea of being payed to leave got in, the Israelean moral defense has always been they never forced anyone out, but that it was the Arab alliance that forced their own people out before the plan to push Israel into the sea.
