    "The Y2K Bug" is a basically a media hoax. How many people in this world have died to "The Y2K Bug"? None? You have a better chance of dying in a swimming pool, driving a car, riding a bike, or being struck by lightening. Seriously, you are far more likely to be eaten by a shark then killed by "The Y2K Bug". etc. You get the picture.

    err, slight mistake. The GPL can be applied to public domain software, since you can do whatever you want with public domain. Say, you can pick up SQLite and include it in the middle of whatever application you want. (I don't know why he didn't even want a license that credited him...)

    AFAIK... There are either enemy combatants or civilians. I don't think there's a third way. If I AM wrong... There's still no excuse to treat human beings like that, and very good reasons to treat enemies along the spirit of the convention.

    Oh, what saints the Israelis are.

    For someone who wishes to end the killings, they sure don't act on it. It's not that Hezbollah is right, it's that Israel is a democratic country that should be held to high standards. Or at least to stop pretending to be innocent.
    "Help Israel: (somewhat) better then the alternative" seems a lousy defense.

    $380 is still a crap load of money in a lot of places (plus, without rebates and weird promotions like in the US). And from what I've heard, for screens smaller than 30", there isn't much of a point in HD.

  24. Re:here? on Interview With Leader of Sweden's Pirate Party · · Score: 1

    while i like what you said, be carefull. here in portugal, the interior has a crap amount of votes. it's mostly deserted by now, which makes the largest district in the country have a paltry 3 deputies in the parliement. stupidly enough, it's also the agricultural part.
    since every party completly disregards those 3 votes (it always goes to the communist party, and it would cost a lot to move 33% of people another way in almost deserted cities), that part of the country is more and more a true desert (apart from the green spots).
