    I think you'll find if the people who own the factories also own government, that's fascism. A government owning its own factories is not fascism by any stretch of the definition.

    Your ignorance is astounding. That you felt it positive to the discussion to air your "knowledge" on this subject is incredible. You really have no idea just how little you know about this subject, do you?

    We don't worry about that because we're not pussies. It sounds like you'd be worried about it, though, which explains a lot. No wonder you are so hate-filled if you are so scared all the time. It must suck to be stuck in your tiny head, scared of shadows, hating a world you made up 5 minutes ago.

    The old "no true Muslim" canard. Brilliant. So when a Muslim does something you like, he's not a Muslim. Gotcha. It's nice of you to show us all just how cretinous your thought process is.

    And those guys doing the patrolling were condemned by their mosque and the law, which sentenced 3 of them. But I guess that didn't happen.

    They do speak out. Time and time again. The fact you assume they don't speaks more about your stilted, short-sighted, reactionary, xenophobic view of Muslims and Islam than it does anything else. Seriously. You are fucking pathetic. They do precisely that which you call for, yet you can't be bothered to even disprove your own fucked-up attitude before you launch an attack on millions of good people. Fuck you very much. Your attitude is lazy and dangerous, and you can't even be bothered to fix it.

    And when you have testing, Occam's razor, and consensus, it's probably the right assumption.

    Cloud seeding in that fashion is changing the weather and not climate. It would help if you understood something before assuming it's nonsense and crudely trying to assassinate it with the intellectual deft of a retarded elephant thrown down an elevator shaft.

    When you claim things like this you are telling everyone you get your scientific information from the popular press and not scientific literature. If you expect people to take you seriously after such an admission, well, that speaks more of you than it does anything else.

    Or maybe the H1N1/SARS/Whatever hype accompanied real action to prevent the problem from becoming too big. Just think about the usual muppets screaming that Y2K was hyped up massively and nothing happened - precisely because work was done to stop it becoming so bad.

  12. Re:Not bad in principle on Wikipedia Blocks Hundreds of Accounts Doing Paid Editing · · Score: 1

    Reputation management also involves correcting widely-held beliefs about a company/organisation which are flat-out wrong. This happens more than you'd imagine, and work like urban legends - statements of dubious factual content passed around as gospel truth. Just look at Slashdot for a great example - leaps are made between what certain companies do and what the Slashdot audience (or members thereof) think they are doing or going to do (even though there is no evidence for it). How often have you seen a Slashdot post condemn a company for something it hasn't done, only for that post to be modded +5 and accepted as an honest appraisal of said company? It happens frequently, almost every day (that I've noticed). It's at times like this that reputation management can be a great tool to address these problems as they happen. The last thing you want to do when a damaging falsehood about your company is spreading like wildfire across the internet is to sit there and do nothing, as that only guarantees it will continue unabated.

    If people were incapable of lying (either on purpose or by accident) about companies/organisations/people you'd be right.

    It's a big deal to you, I'm sure, but in broadcasting it's not as important as you seem to think. The fact there are 4:3 and 16:9 broadcasts means horizontal resolution is not something one can readily rely on.

  14. Re:Not normal driving. on How Autonomous Cars' Safety Features Clash With Normal Driving · · Score: 1

    You are making so many assumptions it's not even funny. Just because you can't figure out how to solve these problems doesn't make them unsolvable. At the very least the autonomous cars need good coding to handle these situations, and they seem to be getting just that.

  15. Re:Not normal driving. on How Autonomous Cars' Safety Features Clash With Normal Driving · · Score: 1

    You just made a bunch of assumptions based on a car attempting to cross an intersection 6 years ago. Just because you aren't clever enough to figure out a set of rules which can solve the problems you mentioned doesn't mean they're impossible. Who cares if you don't see this technology becoming widespread or used in the real world - you clearly can't see past your own hubris.

  16. Re:Actually, the common saying... on The Long Reach of Windows 95 · · Score: 1

    That's quite the non sequitur - the increase in driver complexity was most likely due to the nature of the device becoming more complex, not just the plug and play. Unless you can demonstrate that the problems you encountered were due to the PnP portions of the driver, you don't really have a case. You might as well blame it on aliens. My personal experiences are very different to yours - fiddling around with jumpers was far from ideal, and as soon as PnP hit the scene and was properly supported by enough drivers, it was a great improvement on what came before.

    If you couldn't configure your internal modem, the problem lies either with you, your computer, or the modem - blaming a technology which was used to great effect by countless millions of people doesn't seem the particularly rational approach.

    Give it a rest, seriously. It's embarrassing to read your confused, xenophobic rants. The fact you readily confuse Islamism and Islam doesn't help your arguments, as why should anyone listen to you complain about or condemn something you don't even understand?

    No, "regulated" when discussing a group of people or a business means "subjected to regulations". Using the definition for a timepiece seems ridiculous, but I guess it's the closest definition to what you want it to mean, even if clearly incorrect in this context. The watch was "well regulated" as the pieces moved at regular intervals.
