  1. Re:Several? on Scientist Says NASA Must Study Space Sex · · Score: 1

    How is miner a man's job? btw I live in Russia, but grew up in the good old USSR, no one was "forcing" women to take mens jobs. Silly communists actually managed to convince women they were equal to men.

  2. Re:Ban guns on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Heh, for me 1986 is not ancient history, I remember it very well, Chernobyl power plant also exploded that year. The prime minister is shot, so Swedes tighten their gun laws, next thing their foreign minister is stabbed. Does it prove gun control effectiveness in combating crime?

  3. Re:Ban guns on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    So you prime minister was assassinated with a gun and another politician stabbed to death in the streets. Non violent multicultural Sweden is a myth.

  4. Re:Ban guns on Congresswoman and Staff Gunned Down · · Score: 1

    Sweden, non-violent? Their prime minister was shot and killed, and another leading politician stabbed to death on the streets. So much for strict gun control.

    Please repeating this myth. The ammunition for the guns is stored separately, typically at the town center.

  6. Re:Fanatic civilians? on North Korea Says War With South Would Go Nuclear · · Score: 1

    USA forces distributed toys rigged with explosives to Iraqi children and before that used the same tactic during the proxy war with the Soviet Union in Afghanistan. Why shouldn't I believe they are capable of poisoning pamphlets?

  7. Re:No money on Unreal Tournament 3 For Linux Is Officially Dead · · Score: 1

    Support contracts from enterprise customers. Now what does it have to do with the sorry state of Linux on the desktop and the willingness of Linux desktop users to pay for commercial software? Do you believe that selling expensive support contracts for a game is a viable option for software companies?

    Strangely Russia's puppet states of Belorussia, South Osettia and Abkhasia are not on the list.

  9. Re:Some People on A Nude Awakening — the TSA and Privacy · · Score: 1

    There have been plane hijackings after 9/11. In not one of them people tried to take out the hijackers. I sure would not, chances are still with them being the traditional style ones.

    For the same reason brutal dictatorships like Burma or China often do not murder high profile dissidents but keep them indefinitely under house arrest. Murdering would turn them into martyrs.

    I read the cable, actually disappointed, I could create such a list after a few hours of googling.

    Your CIA handler wants to have a talk with you. Now go away.

    Abandoning Gnome, replacing it with some cell phone type interface and on top of it dropping X???? Whoever runs the Ubuntu project needs their head checked.

    Please.. You elected Cicciolina, explain that!

  17. Re:Not Just Hateb by the Left on Sarah Palin 'Target WikiLeaks Like Taliban' · · Score: 1

    I'm not an American, so my interest in this discussion is purely academic. I agree that Palin is un-electable but .. "I can't lie to you about your chances, but... you have my sympathies". Because I hate European style social democracy with a passion it it pains me to see such a great country seemingly headed that way... Hope you enjoy paying taxes through your nose so some lazy schmuck can enjoy his "human right" of a state sponsored apartment with a state sponsored broadband like they have it in Sweden.

  18. Re:attacked by whom? on WikiLeaks Under Denial of Service Attack · · Score: 1

    I do not see a problem when a country that desires to be "the leader of the free world" is held to a higher standard and scrutinized more than let's say Iran or Venezuella.

    I've been gaming since at least the late 80s and I find this a great time to be a gamer. There are more awesome game tat capture my attention then I have time. Just looking at my Steam account - over 200hours on Fallout NV. Probably even more on DAO with expansions. Civilization and Galciv are always awesome. Also play SC2 when I get the chance , DA2 and DNF are coming, it's a very exciting time!

    Most real cpu intensive applications applications are written in Fortran :) And you example is better used to show that c and friends are not well suited for the kind of things this chip is made for since most games can barely use 2 cores.
