    You can, however, create clones of yourself and eat one of THOSE babies every day. That should do the trick.

    True. This isolated case would be a breach of privacy. But all of them combined (wars for oil, prosecution of foreign nationals in foreign countries, killings of civilians, etc) would certainly be enough to put them all in jail for life.

    As for guns, your police and armed forces have more of them,

    Not my police. I'm happy I'm not an American. There was a time (pre-9/11) when I thought the U.S. would be an awesome place to live. I even visited the MIT to check the place before taking a decision. Then 9/11 happened and your government used it as an excuse to invade some countries and become a police state.

    I moved to Japan instead.

    Are you going to petition your own corrupt government? The time for petitions is over. You have to man up, impeach Obama, and judge him and all his cronies for crimes against humanity.

    This is what you've been keeping your beloved guns for. Use them.

  8. Re:bs meter - yellow on Japan's Radiation Disaster Toll: None Dead, None Sick · · Score: 3, Informative

    And I guess you choose to ignore those paragraphs that conflict with your confirmation bias. From the article you quoted:

    Researchers at Fukushima Medical University, which has been taking the leading role in the study, have said they do not believe the most recent cases are related to the nuclear crisis.

    Last month, U.N. scientists assessing the health impact of the Fukushima nuclear crisis said the radiation dose for residents in the region was much lower than Chernobyl and that they do not expect to see any increase in cancer in the future.

    Are you seriously citing a website about oil as a reliable source for the dangers of nuclear energy? If so, then you're a fucking retard. And can't even spell "Fukushima", but that's a different issue.

    How could any "fallout" from the Fukushima plant affect you 10.000km from here? And how the hell could it kill 14.000 children there? How do you estimate that? Don't you realize that the article you cited doesn't make any fucking sense?

    Looks like you're another of the Americans who love to live in fear and ignorance.

  13. Re:Stone age society develops space age technology on Iran Says It Sent Monkey Into Space and Back · · Score: 3, Insightful

    As for great schools, perhaps they are, as long as you exclude science, philosophy, art, history, perhaps geography. Since they're state run (and the state bends the curriculum as they see fit), they are chock full of religion (which takes over the science, philosophy, and art departments) and since their government expresses blind hatred against other countries, I can only assume history and geography classes are equally skewed.

    And that's different from the U.S. how?

  14. Re:But that's not the real problem. on To Encourage Biking, Lose the Helmets · · Score: 5, Interesting

    You have no idea about what you're talking about. I live in Tokyo. Here hundreds of thousands take their bicycles everyday to go just about everywhere. If what you say was true, then thousands would die every year from bike accidents because wearing helmets is completely voluntary.

    Guess what? That isn't happening. People aren't dying left and right.

    I can't speak for others, but I can tell you that *I* wouldn't ride my bike as often if I had to carry an annoying helmet with me every time I went somewhere.

  16. Re:Transforming DD into HD on The History of the Floppy Disk · · Score: 2

    I remember doing the opposite. In the late 90s I was still using 8-bit computers from the 80s as a hobby (MSX, relatively popular everywhere but the U.S.). Because the communications software was limited, we used to download software from local BBSs via our PCs, and then copy into floppy disks to use on the MSX.

    The problem was that the PC didn't accept that I was trying to format 2HD disks in 2DD format, so in my MSX disks I always covered the little hole. This was either under MS-DOS 6.22 or OS\2 Warp (I didn't really use Windows much even back then).

    Apple does not sell OS X without accompanying hardware. You can grab an OS X upgrade disc for a nominal fee, but it is just that, an upgrade version.
