    Of course.

  3. Re:Former Owner on Sony Outage Disables DASH Devices, No ETA On a Fix · · Score: 1

    No, because they use the wrong codecs, leave the black bars on, don't set the size to a multiple of 16 and put.periods.in.the.titel.between.all.the.words (which they also spell wrong) and don't pad episode numbers with leading zeroes so 11 plays before 2.

    The rotten fucking bastards.

    What's worse is people moaning and whining about the good old days.

    Nostalgia's not as good as it used to be.

    So, without interest in gaming, you'd be testing a Linux distro that is focused on gaming... why?

    Because he's not quite dumb enough to think that "focused on" == "only usable for"?

    Your claim was that 2% of terrorism (not any arbitrarily defined subset thereof) in Europe is down to islamists.

    Where's the other 98%?

    I think if the People's Popular Front of East Grinstead had carried out an attack 49 times the size of the Charlie Hebdo attack it might have made the news.

    Resources of a government or large corporation to build or buy.

    The resources of a government that subsequently collapses, can't pay its scientists and soldiers, has its country break up into uncountable fiefdoms which are pretty good scores in Scrabble, and by the time it even realises there's a problem has no idea where half of its boomy-bangy shit is?

    Lucky that'll never happen, eh?

    Islamists are responsible for about 5% of terror attacks in the US and 2% in Europe.

    Really? Who's doing the other 98%?

    It seems a few Fenian remnants have crawled out of their hole. But that aside I can't think of much they, or the UDA, or ETA or the Red Army Faction etc etc have got up to recently.

    You're conflating the product with the process used to produce it. In fact, those two things are pretty much orthogonal.

    Even so, it's a ridiculous loophole: all they have to do is arrest anyone who doesn't consent and then they can go wherever they like.

    The UK has a relatively right wing government because that's what the UK people elected.

    Labour should maybe work harder on getting elected, rather than expecting the fucking Belgians to come to their rescue when the result goes the wrong way.

  17. If only 1% of 1% of the military age male refugees are sleepers or fifth columnists they'll outnumber Baader-Meinhof, the IRA, the Brigate Rosse and ETA - at their peak - put together.

    I too have my suspicions that it's an invasion by stealth.
