  1. Re:Obvious on Europe's Galileo Program In Serious Trouble · · Score: 1

    I guess it's more about power and independence than business. The EU doesn't want to live under US's roof so they try to move away from GPS.
    It's like moving to your own apartment -It's more expensive than living with your parents, but still you want to do it.

  2. Re:If it's virtual rape then... on Is Virtual Rape a Crime? · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Let put them in a virtual jail. It would be like restricting any URL query to just aol.com domain space..That's more like virtual hell actually...

  3. Those pesky asians... on The Unauthorized State-Owned Chinese Disneyland · · Score: 1

    Before you start ranting about chinese stealing your most loved american icon and copyright issues, get informed!

    The park is not in any way related to Disneyland. The link of the story goes to a 404, slashdotted probably. Hell, even the domain (http://www.japanprobe.com) goes to a 404!!

    The official website of the theme park (http://www.bs-amusement-park.com/) doesn't mention Disney, Mickey or any other Disney-related product.
    Characters on the pictures that I've found are the 7 dwarfs but not Mickey or any other. It also has a castle and an Epcot-like sphere but that's it.

    And even if they are the 7 dwarfs, what's the big deal? You have to admit this is news because the chinese are doing it.

    I'm currently in Buenos Aires and I see Spiderman, Mickey, the power rangers and the most known pokemons in mall entrances almost every weekend, but I'm sure nobody is suing them...

    It's scary how many of you people, always proud of having above-average IQs, react to a story like this one. What is left for the rest of the americans then?

    Don't get FUDed by media!! Wake up!

    I'm not chinese BTW!

  4. Re:We need revolution and we need it now on Student Arrested for Making Videogame Map of School · · Score: 1

    Let me guess...You are not Asian.

  5. Why this is bad? on U.S. Puts 12 Nations On Watch For Piracy · · Score: 1

    Copyright only prevents other people from innovating. The right to innovate is what pretty much everyone here fights for, when we talk about operating systems (MS Vs Open source OSes, for example). What should it be different in other areas?

    Freedom to innovate can only be good, if you see it in a global scale.

    How many of you wouldn't buy Thai AIDS drugs if you had an infected relative?

  6. Re:please don't say 'Homeland' . . . on How Will Governments Keep Up With Technology? · · Score: 1

    Yeah! Let's call it Freedomland or land of the free! That way we won't get mistaken by those stinky nazis while, at the same time, we'll deliver our message to the other oppressing countries: We will not tolerate any kind of intolerance and we will fight for peace anywhere!

  7. Option+W !! on Help Make Firefox On Mac Suck Less · · Score: 1

    Unless I'm missing something: When only one tab remains, Option + W will not close the window as in every other app.

    Thanks BTW!

  8. Re:popup menu problem with multiple screens on Help Make Firefox On Mac Suck Less · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I have the same setup and problem. I solved it by restarting FF.
    In my experience, it only happens if you started Firefox before attaching the second monitor.
    When you attach the second monitor prior to starting FF, it doesn't happen.

  9. I'm confused on Quantum Physics Parts Ways With Reality · · Score: 1

    So this means that if I close my eyes and someone throws a punch at me, the fact that I'm not seeing it coming means it's not going to hurt me?

    Seems unlikely...

  10. Re:First post..... on New Australian Laws To Censor Terror DVDs · · Score: 1

    Welcome! FP? How cute!
    One small remark to your last sentences:

    "The same thing needs to happen in Islam. The followers need to realise that the sway that the evil has over them needs to end. Only than will it be a legitimate religion"

    Speaking of "evil" you remind me my of my 10 year-old nephew.

    There is no good and bad. It's all about power, that's what's all about. Some have it, some want it. So who's right? None and both. Not all Muslims are terrorists and not all Christians are good.

    It's just business.

    Hey, if you don't like the rules, you can ignore them, pretend you are not a player. But that doesn't mean that the game isn't being played.

  11. Thanksfully on Enforced Ads Coming to Flash Video Players · · Score: 1

    They don't have a way to enforce ads on books...yet.

    What's with this people? Why do they hate us so much?

  12. Marketing on This is How We Catch You Downloading · · Score: 1

    This is obviously propaganda for the game.
    Whoever has a copy of a pinball game in its HD deserves punishment, true. But that is another story...

  13. Re:Complex Hack on Critical Security Hole in Linux Wi-Fi · · Score: 1, Interesting

    The Windows being ease to use is not a mistake. It's a business decision. Even for their server products, they chose to go that way. And, if you ask me, they didn't do that bad, given the market share they have.

  14. Everybody here knows... on Preparing for the Worst in IT · · Score: 1

    ...that the worst is not a terrorist attack, it's the users. Stop spreading FUD.

  16. No use in [insert your 3rd country here] on French Train Breaks Speed Record · · Score: 1

    Where the already lousy service die almost daily because some SOAB steals the rails or the wires that control the traffic lights to sell them as copper/iron/whatever. That, or because there's a union mafia conflict and they burn the traffic computers and equipment, etc, etc, etc.

  17. Confirmed on Cellphone Dental Implants Coming Soon · · Score: 2, Funny

    It's not the voices, it's the tele-marketing people that make you go out to kill.

  18. Cool! on The Air Car Nears Completion · · Score: 1

    If your car doesn't work, just sink it in a pool and trace the bubbles to the source.

  19. AWwwww C'mon! on The Coming Fight Over TV Violence · · Score: 1

    It's already hard to see a nipple for at least 2 seconds on TV and movies, now they want violence out of it too?
    Why don't they spend that time educating their kids instead of screwing other people's entertainment.

    Have you seen TV lately? It's all about pasteurized "family" entertainment mostly. Long ago are the days of Cobra and Terminator. You don't get to see the tiniest drop of blood now. Yes I read a lot, but I also like "violent" movies/series.

    Hell, if I don't get my violence fix everyday I will have to go out to get it myself damn it.

  20. Re:Star Wars Cops on Star Wars Fan Movie Challenge 2007 · · Score: 1

    In a galaxy far far away apparently, light 'also' takes some time to travel, you know?

    If you define 'under a rock' as Argentina, then yes. It feels pretty much the same also.
