    PS. Well, naturally there is also tpb & eztv...

    Not really, no. Few countries have, afaik, something close to Netflix subscription streaming...but as I recall there was something subpar about it; and in some way it works around the "common market" stuff.

    Either way - on one hand prices divrged a lot, and on the other...it can be almost said that nowadays hardly anybody in the EU uses landlines (apart from for DSL, which typically can't require voice subscription now; or as a business or institution which have completelly different types of plans anyway)

    You realize that's essentially "blame the victim" of course?

    Why does it have to be an agenda? It's irrelevant to the issue; a trend of organic type (as very possibly happened with Iraq & WMDs) is even more troubling.

    And such small technicality is perfectly relevent IMHO withing such small difference, of a word with and without quotation marks. Especially if the case would be considered entrapment in many areas...

    They can only blame themselves? How often was the population of local area even asked (nvm informed of all the implications) before commencing guano strip-mining operation?

    ...The Kirabati can become the "Jews of the Sea." Hmm... that doesn't sound so appealing after all.

    It really depends whether that will turn out to be atollers, drifters, smokers or...Ichthyus sapiens.

  8. Re:Accordians:hunting::the french:war on Facing Oblivion, Island Nation Makes Big Sacrifice · · Score: 1

    If nobody cares about Kiribatian mythology, there could be always other things for the world to care about. Some resources perhaps? Guano deposits are most likely long gone, but I wonder - maybe coral reefs, while growing upward when the mountain below them subsides, trap inside significant amounts of guano? Strip mining of atols might be easy enough in close future...

    Hm. Yeah.

    It might as well mean how specifically a couple potentially receptive (because of their family roots, for example) to one particular "origin" of provocateurs was approached. Heck, even manufacturing some hardships before the process, to make them more receptive, would be also quite easy...

    Similar with CERN, various kinds of observatories/etc. on one hand...and power plants of virtually all types on the other. Doesn't stop anybody.

    Oh, just pretending now you didn't try to directly continue with me a talk you had with another poster; if only you took to heart things you suggested others few times...

    (well, assuming you're at least pretending... But then, that again touches on how typical is being convinced in one's choices of people, and more, being above average)

    Looks like you have a problem keeping up with the discussion / differentiating posters. Hm, what could that potentially tell about your analysis of what they say/etc....

    (also, limiting rights to "citizens" is exactly at the core of the issue here)

    There seems to be one just above...

    And you know, people universally convince themselves that they, & similar people with whom they choose to stay in contact with, represent above average part of the society; tending also to overlook some flaws. Overall, sharing those perceptions doesn't really tell much.

    If you haven't done so already you might turn on, in Slashdot prefs, an email notifying of moderations received. Judging from what was happening with your post for some time, the history of up & down mods might be almost entertaining...

    Tinfoil hat? Even here too many people assumed Venezuela was actually involved; now imagine general population, especially people that still think Iraq was attacked because of involvement in 9/11 & WMDs.

    Quote marks are perfectly valid because, technically, no actual treason has taken place. Hypothesizing what they might have done in the future is a newspeak in itself (and still, do take note subtle differences between writing traitors, vs. "traitors", vs. not traitors)

    Eh, Venezuela wasn't involved here at all; it was a ruse created by US agents to capture "unreliables"; stop saying things like it is involved / I fear we will see, in a few short days, 50+% of US population convinced that Venezueala wants to build (and via stealing from the Righteous Ones) the bomb, anyway. :/

    Maybe not that many countries actually want those things / are a bit different than your (almost) portrayal...

  20. Unless they see it on just slightly(*) grander scales - most generally, securing their valued group / etc. And close to the end of their own life anyway.

    (*)Without checking, tell me in which year and city your great-grandmother from the side of your father & grandmother was born...
    And that was just a blink of an eye ago, all things considered. We often don't think that much about our recent ancestors; likewise about future descendants.

    People leaking such secrets might as well think that's exactly what they're doing, saving lifes (just on the "wrong" side) - wasn't there a thing how most "traitors" of such kind are motivated not by money?

  22. Re:for those of you who charge hypocrisy on US Couple Arrested For Transmitting Nuclear Secrets In Sting Operation · · Score: 1

    But it isn't bad at all, the whole situation is a fiction created to lure in potential "traitors" - Venezuela is not involved at all (TFS describes it decently clear, and TFA completelly)

    Though, I imagine, it's convenient to spread the news that way... (instead of "...trying to sell to a foreign state", which would suffice)
    Now 50+% of Americans might start to think that Venezuela wants to build the bomb (basically stolen from superior us, on top of that)

  23. Re:As an American.... on Construction of French Fusion Reactor Underway · · Score: 1

    That might as well be how battleships dominated them at the beginning of WW2...or so was thought (plus generally, the size of opponnent chosen is a much better indicator of might; the American Empire chooses military midgets for some time now & tensions with one potent past adversary never escalated / their anti-carrier weapons weren't used; adversary whose efforts at expansion by intimidation also masked an internal (societal/economical) decline...)
