  1. what a load on U.S. Publishes Guide To Building Atom Bombs To Web · · Score: 0, Redundant

    yeah right, you can just nip down to the hardware store and cookup a nuke. get real. anyone with the funds and equipment needed to make a nuclear device doesn't need any help from a website to get the job done.

    this comes down to who was in registered first. it smacks of BUY ME BUY ME. sorry but if youtube was registered and operating before utube, then they can just fuck off.

    NK is a fucking bat shit crazy place, and if it got turned into a smoking nuclear waste land the world would be better off. you only need to hear the story of the 4 americans who deserted to NK in the korean war to know this. fuck their only friend in the world is china, and even they are against them now.

    what a load of crap. so because he doesn't cater to your polictical leanings you dismiss any facts and/or points he brings up? as usual assholes like you get stumped when presented with facts/figures/maths and people using science to prove their points, rather then emo advertisments, that as kent brockman would say "target the heart, cloud the mind"

  6. Re:Not Such a Bad Thing? on Tackling Global Warming Cheaper Than Ignoring It · · Score: 1

    your statement that the rate of temperature change has never been this fast before is completely untrue. No one can tell you exactly what the earths temperatures been doing over the last 100k years, and if they claim it they are a bullshitter (if it supports global warming or not i don't care). We also only contribute 3.4% of the atmosphere's CO2 content, a very trivial amount. the REAL elemental driver of the earths completely natural (and required for life) "greenhouse" effect is HO2. but then saying that WATER is a greenhouse gas isn't as sexy cool (nor does it sell movies cough cough) as rattling your sabre about those big bad corperations which club baby seals and kittens in order to power their evil industries. for a short primer on just why the hysteria around CO2 is horribly misguided i point you again to junkscience.com http://www.junkscience.com/Greenhouse/ i'm not saying humans aren't having a negative impact on the earth's environment. i'm saying we need to stop assholes wasting our energy on imaginary boogymen and look at real problems.

    see this is why plenty of scientists are calling bullshit on people like you. no one is debating that high sea levels and colder weather in scottland would create problems. that's obvious to anyone with even 1/2 a brain. the question, is if WE are the cause or if it's simply a natural cycle of the planet or the sun. if we are going to see natural disaters due ot these things, it makes no sense to inflict artifical economic hardships of ourselfs based on bad science. junkscience.com take a look, and try not to believe everything the environmentalist try ram down your throats.

    the problem is you hide your anti government agenda under a false pretence of environmental concern. in doing so you hurt the environment with your junk science and the economies of countries which can least afford it, causing 100's on millions to suffer.

    actually i was reading a post by a pathologist a while ago concerning the fear of alien bacteria, and it's something of a misconception. it's actually very very likely that our bodies will be deadly to any alien life. example. can humans survive on mars unaided? no? so it means anything thats suited to the conditions on mars will die if exposed to our own viable conditions. interesting stuff i never thought it but it's quite obvious when you think it through.

    of all your list the only examples which are even remotely true, is in cases where MS has been able to leverage it's OS monopoly to stiffle competition.
    the only other way it's ever able to gain a foothold is to LOSE MONEY on a product eg. xbox. and they can't keep going into market losing money like that, even MS's bank account has it's limits.

    way to have shit staff. i've been in that position and you end up with a constant stream of sub par staff who leave you at the drop of a hat. retraining costs money, you'd better of hanging on to staff with a clue if you can. it doesn't take huge pay rises to keep people, just a sense they are being paid well for a job well done.

  20. EUL inside on End User License Gems · · Score: 3, Interesting
    i remmeber once i got this piece of software with a notice "by opening this packaging you agree to the EUL contained inside"

    just ponder that shit for a moment. the contract is inside, they aren't letting you view it before claiming you agree to it. i'd be willing to bet if you voilated some part of it and they took you to court they would quickly find ALL their EUL stipulations would be thrown out for basic breaches of contract law.

    one thing that has always amused me is company's polices of putting notices at the bottom of emails stating things like "you may not disclose the contents of this email to 3rd parties" etc etc.

    firstly, i do not agree to any of these terms prior to recieving said email, so they aren't binding in anyway. it's like trusting a contract in my face and claiming now that i have seen it, i most obey it.

    if someone sends me something, that email is my property, i'll do what i bloody like with it.
