  1. Re:Good. on UK Court Orders Two Sisters Must Receive MMR Vaccine · · Score: 0

    Hardly. Same species. If you meant that as humor... needs work.

  2. Re:"what is necessary to be done" on Hillary Clinton: "We Need To Talk Sensibly About Spying" · · Score: 1

    Ah... One of those Russian sock puppets we've been reading about.

    Speak for yourself. I and many others pointed out his lack of anything during the first campaign here and elsewhere. If the best you can do is claim those who did not win would have been worse, you're conceding your argument is void.

    Straw. No one is saying 'everyone' should know. "Can't do anything" is a fairly accurate description of them right now as pertains to their actually stopping their presumed targets: terrorists.

  5. Re:Just one game? on Battlefield Director: Linux Only Needs One 'Killer' Game To Explode · · Score: 1

    Not really a good example as one can install pretty much *anything* over Vista and never look back.

    Your snark means exactly nothing.

    My guess is they make exactly the same amount. Step one: want to install app. Step two: find out you have to uncheck box.

  7. Re:LibreOffice Write is excellent... on Charlie Stross: Why Microsoft Word Must Die · · Score: 1

    Similar as in clone. If there's a right click Thesaurus option in Libre, that's new, but I uninstalled Libre because I couldn't find any useful improvements. Libre still has many of the old bugs and glitches Open did. No changes in that at all.

    My experience does not bear out what you've written.

    Yes you can.

  9. Re:Prosecute them ... on NY Comic Con Takes Over Attendees' Twitter Accounts To Praise Itself · · Score: 4, Insightful

    But they didn't steal an identity. Just requested allowance to post on a Twitter feed. Unless they did something other than what the article said, there's no identity theft going on. Giving someone access to use your broadcast mechanism is hardly equal to slavery.

    What I don't get is how the Copenhagenists forget the cat can determine it's own existence simply by meowing.

  11. Re:Why do we bother with the barbarians? on Saudi Justice: 10 Years and 2,000 Lashes For Internet Video of Naked Dancing · · Score: 2

    If developed, we have enough of our own resources to ignore them until they starve. We really don't need their oil as much as we need for locals to stop opposing all development because their crystal's auras tell them to.

    Then you're a paranoid fucking idiot. A hate monger as well, as you purposely conflate an extreme minority here with the majority there that condone this.

    Perhaps yours are, but I've certainly seen some fantasy work submitted. Equate those to annoying and false ads and yours to an ad for a cause you believe in.

  14. Re:Queue The Anarchist & Druggie Comments In.. on 8 Users of Silk Road Arrested, 'Many More To Come' · · Score: 1

    Bullshit. A dealer of heroine sells it with the intent that someone consume it instead of it lying on the coffee table as an item of interest, At the very, very best, you're being disingenuous.

    I have no pity for overdosers. Accurate info on drugs is ubiquitous. But FFS, dealers are not respectable merchants by any definition and know full well what they're doing and enabling and give not one shit.

  15. Re:Queue The Anarchist & Druggie Comments In.. on 8 Users of Silk Road Arrested, 'Many More To Come' · · Score: -1, Troll

    Nice bullshit "stats". Heroine kills because people use more and more and many reach a critical level and die. Same for many other drugs.
    BR Really, put down the heroine and walk away. It'll kill you some day.

  16. Again, useless. on Data Mining Reveals the Emotional Differences In Emails From Men and Women · · Score: 1

    This research is as valuable as the worth of a beautiful gold button which has been determined to be brass.

    I have serious doubts that any program could determine the actual "emotional" meaning of that phrase.

    The problem with all research of this nature is that human language is filled with reverses of logic and emotion in order to convey more subtle states of thought. Not to mention, as a writer I frequently change to a feminine voice for either a specific third person effect or simply dialogue for a female character. "Not to mention" being an example of reversal in logic.

    Colloquialism is another killer. "I don't care to" carries an entirely different meaning in different parts of the US.

    And yes, I will do that in emails if the recipient knows me.

    I have. Cocaine overdose is an actual event, it just takes a lot and is quite expensive.

    Same with amphetamines. My best friend used to do white crosses. Took a handful, locked up like a Greek statue and fell over dead.

    Mind you, I think the substances should be available but (although quite grief stricken about Albert at the time) have no pity for those that overdose.

    The real problem with utopia is utopia itself. Your and my idea of utopia will in all probability not match. And, what makes your utopia the "correct" one? People with visions of utopia invariably attempt to force others to accept it. Hence.
