  1. Iraqi Information Minister? Is that you?!? on Member Claims Anonymous "Might Well Be the Most Powerful Organization On Earth" · · Score: 1

    It certainly sounds like you!

    Juicy features like unskippable content?

    No thanks. VLC will do it for me.

  3. Re:That on WW2 Vet Sent 300,000 Pirated DVDs To Troops In Iraq, Afghanistan · · Score: 1

    You're truly blind if you don't see that's the path America is going down. Maybe not in Obama's (or Romney's) presidency, but we'll get there eventually if nothing changes.

  4. Re:Any central authority will do on The Crisis of Government-Funded Science · · Score: 1

    You do realize tax-deductible is not a $1 donation = -$1 tax bill right? Right?

    I certainly don't. Would you care to explain?

  5. That's some awful acting on Ph.D Webcomic Gets Adapted Into Feature Film · · Score: 1

    That's probably the most boring trailer I've ever seen. I don't even feel like pirating the movie, let alone paying $10 for it.

  6. Re:Parent post written by anti-US propagandist on Why Drones Could Be the Future of Missile Defense · · Score: 2

    How infinitely arrogant one has to be to decide their "enemies" are not even capable of acting rationally.

    Coming soon to your favorite enemy Air Force.

    Yep, you guys are owned by corporations, the system is f***ed up beyond repair. Just move out to some other place and live happily.

  12. Re:Hard for the little guy on Chinese Writers Sue Apple Over IP Violations · · Score: 1

    As others pointed out, China is not communist. It is fascist corporatism the way Mussolini only dreamed about: an all powerful totalitarian state allied with pseudo capitalist corporations.

    Lame auto-reply to indicate that the re-enaction is from this 2007 German movie.

  16. Now that was a big explosion on Spanish Company Tests 'Right To Be Forgotten' Against Google · · Score: 1

    Or at least it seems so in this (apparently Dutch) re-enaction

  17. Re:Not living in Sweden on Swedish Supreme Court Refuses Appeal In Pirate Bay Case · · Score: 1

    Well yeah, some laws are unfair. What's wrong with opposing to a conviction based on them?

  18. Re:Of course it's not self-defense on The Iraq War, the Next War, and the Future of the Fat Man · · Score: 4, Insightful

    The real question is ofcourse if you would allow an other country to send drones into american soil to kill americans that they think are a threat

    No, the real question is would the US deliberately allow a group of people responsible for many terrorism deaths, and responsible for a recent attempt to kill hundreds of people in and below an approaching commercial aircraft, to continue to operate, recruit, train, and murder they way around....

    It turns out that yes, the US would allow such a thing

    Posada has been convicted in absentia in Panama, of involvement in various terrorist attacks and plots in the Americas, including: involvement in the 1976 bombing of a Cuban airliner that killed seventy-three people; admitted involvement in a string of bombings in 1997 targeting fashionable Cuban hotels and nightspots; involvement in the Bay of Pigs invasion; and involvement in the Iran-Contra affair (...) On September 28, 2005 a U.S. immigration judge ruled that Posada cannot be deported, finding that he faces the threat of torture in Venezuela.[18] Likewise, the US government has refused to send Posada to Cuba, saying he might face torture.[17] His release on bail on April 19, 2007 had elicited angry reactions from the Cuban and Venezuelan governments...

    So this is an ACTIVE terrorist that the US would let walk, just because they fucking feel like. Sorry for breaking your bubble.

  19. Re:Old technology is often still superior technolo on 7000 e-Voting Machines Now Deemed Worthless By Irish Government · · Score: 1

    There may be secure and reliable e-Voting machines someday,

    If some were capable enough to create such system, it stands to reason that some would also be capable of breaking such a system.

    I would've modded you, but there's no option "-1 nonsense"

    There are some 5 BILLION YEARS down the road to "turn into" space exploration. Surely dedicating some hundreds of years somewhere in the future will take care of it, if it's feasible at all.

    What's wrong with focusing on fixing this planet first?
