  1. Re:Unless they're a protected party. on ICANN's Plan To End Commercial Website Anonymity Creates Real Problems · · Score: 1

    The combination of your thinly-veiled xenophobia, twisted facts and signature make you sound like a right nasty piece of work.

    Apparently letting people close their eyes is harassment. Weird. I guess remote controls are, too, as you can use them to change channels. This level of knee-jerk reaction from adults who honestly sound like scalded children is heartbreakingly pathetic.

    It would help your argument if you could offer some actual evidence, instead of just venting everywhere like child made to look foolish...

    You are making some very vague generalisations, which is never a good thing to do if one wishes to put forth a strong argument. The fact is the vast majority of Muslims aren't running around killing people, which is pretty strong evidence they are not treating the Quran as a literal instruction book, but are taking a highly nuanced view of it as most religious followers do to their holy book.

    And there you go again, confusing Islamism with Islam. Any excuse, eh?

    So "listening to the will of the people" is now "flip-flopping"? Would you rather your politicians never change their stance, regardless of new information or social changes which happen in the mean time? It's called learning, and is something you should praise your politicians for doing. Only in America is learning considered a sign of weakness. It explains so much.

    Speak for your own taxi services. In many parts of the world the taxi services are as close to perfect as one could imagine.

    Hyperbole does not a rational argument make. You do yourself a great disservice by even attempting to equate the two.

    I think your location's inability to get a taxi service running speaks more about where you are from than the awesomeness that is Uber. Where I live taxis are clean, cheap, the drivers know where you want to go, and have great training. Uber was hounded out of town because they were screwing up the current, working system, to the detriment of customers and drivers alike.

    I hate to sound controversial, but after SP1 Vista was pretty awesome. There were some initial performance issues, but Microsoft released a few stand-out patches which took care of the handful of problems, leaving a well-running, stable OS.

    No, the presence of profit is what triggers reaction, and quite rightly so. Ride sharing is not meant to generate profit for anyone, just to cover costs. That's it.

    They're equally as egregious. If you have a license to do business with the public, you serve all the public. The only limits are those customers who are causing a disturbance to other customers. You can't single out swathes of the population because you don't understand the difference between making a cake for something and condoning that thing. "Participating in a gay wedding ceremony" by being miles away from it and unaware it is going on, save for a cake you cooked and were paid handsomely for? Give me a fucking break. Just because you can crowbar in some weasel words doesn't mean the two things are in any way different.

    You are blaming people for espousing science because it makes some weak-minded fucktards abuse kids by filling their heads with nonsense. Why not blame the weak-minded fucktards?

    Only because they refuse to do business with people based purely on bigotry. Kind of like how racists were hounded out of business when they too refused to do business with certain people. Ignoring that part kind of makes you sound like a vicious old fucker living in the past. That couldn't possibly be the case, right? :)

    So you have the user define the password, and just send them a one-time activation link. If the user needs to reset the password, send them an email with a one-time reset link. That's a lot better than sending out a password over plain text. Sure, sensitive information is in the emails, but it expires quickly. The password will be the password for a relatively long time.
