    ... war for Freedom and Democracy
    *Euhm*, I suspect you meant to say, "war on Freedom and Democracy", that would be coherent with all the other wars on abstract concepts the government of these USA have pronounced.

    If you are lucky it takes thousands of dollars and years of waiting before you can get a work visa and that is if you are high skilled. Unskilled people isn't even allowed to immigrate to the USA. Compare this to Sweden where you get issued a working visa at request if you show you got work, no matter who you are.

  4. Re:Impropriety on Man Tracked Down and Arrested Via WoW · · Score: 1

    No, the police is armed and trigger happy. I've seen similar suicide attempts incidents reported in the news and when the police has been informed about an ongoing suicide. The police has been the one that killed or maimed the poor person in despair. Better to call the neighbours, family, friends or go over there oneself.

    No no, you may think it is not routing around but I think you just haven't been searching for the rerouted content all that hard. Words on paper(which laws are) is not an obstacle if people ignore the words.

    And always the quotes and facts are not even correct. Think about it, if you've read a news article on an event you have personally been present at. All the facts and quotes are wrong, if they can't get such an easy news correct what then do they do to big news?

  9. Re:Evolution, suckers.... on Self-Destructing Bacteria Create Better Biofuels · · Score: 2, Informative

    Bacteria is not isolated organisms, most bacteria can not be breed as a singleton. That is because most species of bacteria is a colony living organism and they communicate with each other through the substances that they release in the environment which can signal among other things the concentration of nutrients.

    At low levels of nutrients they will stop reproducing hence when the solution is saturated of bio-fuel bacteria the self-destruction gene can be triggered and the fuel harvested. This way there ought to be no selective pressure to neutralise the self-destruction.

  15. Nothing to see here, move on on Copyright Time Bomb Set To Go Off · · Score: 5, Insightful

    I do not see how this is bad, the publishers obviously hasn't been innovating and now fear their own demise by their own doing. As seen by the trends of income, artists themselves are the winners and publishers has been made obsolete.
