  1. Re:Cold war on Iran's Oil Industry Hit By Cyber Attacks · · Score: 1

    You have no idea with hundreds of thousands of people dying? You're a cunt of the highest order.

    No, that is almost entirely revisionist. Saddam HATED Al Qaeda. You seem to have no idea what you're talking about.

    Or you could stop being so arrogant you feel the need to use "PhD" outside of academia :)

    Lots of airlines append the greeting at the end of your name - I know I get MR on there a bunch. I've never seen that be a problem for anyone.

  5. Re:Will cause more headaches due to EXACTNESS on TSA Tests Automated ID Authentication · · Score: 1

    I have 4 names, and I've never once had a problem with it. Even when some airlines process my name as simply 2 names, with my last 3 names concatenated into some super-surname. No big problem at all - never denied entry, crossed all borders without hassle, and never missed a flight.

    One person that we know of. That's the point.

  7. Re:What a waste! on TSA Tests Automated ID Authentication · · Score: 1

    Not really - in Britain (which dealt with terrorism from the IRA), it was routine to make sure baggage travelled on planes with the people who owned it, so bombs would take out the bomber. That was great for stopping those who didn't want to die when planting a bomb. Ensuring who is who when loading a plane is basic information that is quite reasonable for someone in charge to have.

    Hint: Not all terrorism happened in the US, and the US does learn from other countries.

  8. Re:a first on TSA Tests Automated ID Authentication · · Score: 1

    As long as the US remains a target for terrorists, you either give up all hints of safety while travelling, or you have to *sniff* tell people who you are. Big fucking deal.

    If you preface that with "Assume, in this numerical system, that 2 = 17,000", your assertion becomes false.

    You absolute fucking retard. Seriously. You are so scared of boogeymen conjured up by the media you can no longer think for yourself. What a waste of a brain.

    That's a lot of guesswork there, compadre. An awful lot.

  12. Re:Why? on Iranian Military Says It's Copying US Drone · · Score: 1

    It might help your argument if you understood what "backwater" means in this particular context, and not be so eager to harangue Iran at the drop of a hat. That doesn't help anyone in the slightest.

    And that's because you're a xenophobic idiot. Thanks for contributing.

    I have no idea who you think "Leftists" are, but I hazard a guess that you pulled the definition from your ass.

    You do know that corporatism is a real thing, right? And it's "you're", not "your". You got that wrong 3 times in a single post, and yet you feel perfectly entitled to chide someone on being childish because they mentioned something you didn't know existed.

  18. Re:India invents the "V2"? on India Test Fires Long-Range, Nuke-Capable Missile · · Score: 1

    There's no evidence they're building nukes, and they are most definitely allowed to develop nuclear power. They admit the UN nuclear inspectors, and show them whatever they want to see. I have no idea where you get your information, but it sure as shit isn't reality.

  19. Re:India invents the "V2"? on India Test Fires Long-Range, Nuke-Capable Missile · · Score: 1

    You have no evidence for the claims of helping those countries build nuclear bombs. That's abject bullshit. The scary thing is you probably think it's true.

  20. Re:"Zarefarid is reportedly no longer in Iran, tho on Hacker Posts Details of 3 Million Iranian Bank Accounts · · Score: 2

    I take it you don't know what the human rights panel is there for, and why those countries were on it? That's the only possible reason for your mistaken thinking they're there to advise on how best to provide human rights, not on how best to fix the fucked-up shit happening in their countries. Get a grip - I know it's fun to have a go at the UN, but at least make the attempt to understand it before having a go. That way you can bring up legitimate issues with the UN, instead of childishly laughing at what you perceive to be incredible irony, which is actually anything but.

    Because things made in different places at different times will have different isotope mixes. It would be a fantastic coincidence if the mixes of the impactor and proto-Earth were identical.

    It's just old and superseded. "Time" is the only motivation. We have better technology that more people use, which is a better use of money.

    And you should try to understand what the BBC offers before thinking it's some nefarious reason why they're dropping Ceefax. Ceefax was entirely different to the "TXT" stuff you speak of, which is still being offered. :)
