    If you have a need to get something translated maybe it's worth to look it up.

    Everyone is so used to get everything served on a plate these days that when the need arises they are completely lost in how to dig for information.

    I see this as a nice teaser that isn't dumbed-down.

    And homeless population - that's a problem that occurs in most cities.

    Also keep this in mind when saying "Liberal" when you mean "Socialist".

  9. Re:Again, this has nothing to do with terrorism on UK Prime Minister Says Gov't Should Be Capable of Reading Any Communications · · Score: 0

    So did the US government for 9/11... They did know of the terrorists but didn't stop them because they thought that they didn't have enough hard evidence against them.

  10. The English monarchs are today just figureheads without power.

    Gives the English a certain level of glamor and are tourist magnets.

    Not worth to waste any effort on to try to overthrow them. Save your energy for the true problems - corrupt politicians with power.

    Continue working as if nothing happened because the server is mirrored in three copies on different sites, then bring it up again.

    Just use the Declaration of Independence as key. That would be ironic.

  13. Re:Fuck Cameron on UK Prime Minister Says Gov't Should Be Capable of Reading Any Communications · · Score: 1

    Politicians needs to be changed more often. The longer they are in place the dirtier they become.

    And considering the fact that information can be hidden in images etc. using steganography it would be easy to circumvent the ban.

    And the criminals will have the same access as the governments wreaking havoc among bank transactions and identity thefts as well as trade in company secrets.

    It will really be opening Pandora's Box to restrict encryption.

    Just go for liquid cooling straight away.

  18. Re:How about unburdening Cable services on Unbundling Cable TV: Be Careful What You Wish For · · Score: 1

    Add to it that the amount of money saved can be used to purchase the movies I really want to watch. It will still be cheaper than to subscribe. Especially since I haven't been watching TV much at all the last year - it can go more than a month between each time I turn on the TV.

  19. Re:But one major alternative still exists on Wireless Charging Standards Groups Agree To Merge · · Score: 1

    And don't forget that wireless charging of devices also is a very ineffective way to charge. A lot of magnetic radiation is just not ending up where it's intended to be.

    And today people in workshops ends up being code readers - that code, then it's that fault. They never look at the system as a whole.

    A friend of mine had problems with a car, and it kept throwing codes, they replaced random stuff and finally he traded it in. Later it was discovered that they made a mistake at the factory and entered the wrong part number for the MAF so the car was equipped with the wrong MAF, but every time they replaced it they just looked at the numbers and mounted the wrong one again.

    The person discovering it was not the ordinary code-reading grunt but someone with experience - just tells us all that nothing beats experience. And experience is not something you gain in the school bench.
