    Why would anyone mod a comment down just because they disagreed with it? Thats not what moderation is for.

    Indeed. Who needs alternative solutions or outlooks upon a problem when you can just whine, moan and lament for longer without them.

    Er, didnt a Dutch company try to shut them down (BREIN)? And didnt a Dutch hosting company (LEASEWEB) give the owners name and address to same Dutch company? I can see why they might have developed a tiny Austin Powers-esque grudge against the Netherlands ...

  15. grey on black action on Change Google's Background Color To Save Energy? · · Score: 1

    In response, a new version of Google called Blackle was created. Agh. My eyes. The goggles they do nothing. How much will be spent in eye surgery and headache remedies? What were they thinking? Text on black backgrounds can be quite readable, but not with grey skeletal text.
  16. Re:Intelligent Design Advocates on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 1

    The IRA invented modern terrorism. They did it without major funding for many many years. A lack of money will not stop determined enough people getting what they want.

    Their foray into peace away from violent means began way before 9/11. To even suggest as such simply diplays how little some people know or care about the outside world.

  17. Re:Intelligent Design Advocates on US Can't Meet The "Grand Challenges" of Physics · · Score: 0, Offtopic

    Sure the IRA have since become inactive. 9/11 gave them no choice. After 9/11 there was no way that fools like Rudy could continue to hide behind the 'NORAID' nonsense, they knew they were really buying bombs all along of course. After 9/11 the US fundraising was permanently shut down.

    You're saying that the IRA stopped fighting for their idea of freedom because some Islamic radicals flew aeroplanes into New York skyscrapers? Wow. Just wow.

  18. Re:Opinion vs. fact on Is Scientific Consensus a Threat to Democracy? · · Score: 1

    In a democracy you (and everyone else) get to vote for a number of offered sides. That in no way means that any of those sides are right (or wrong). Picking sides, facts and which political agendas to follow should never be confused with right and wrong.

  23. Re:voting for the other guy on Australian Extradited For Breaking US Law At Home · · Score: 2, Insightful

    If you vote for a party or candidate that does not enter office, how has your vote counted at all? How is it any different from people that throw away their vote by not voting?

    I dont vote. Why? Because the two big parties here (they constantly hover at ~45% and ~35% in polls) do exactly the same thing when they get elected - over and over again for the last 85 years or so. The remaining ~20% or so have zero power, and when they go into coalition always tow the majority line. How is that democracy? How is that worth voting for when you disagree totally with the 80% do and also quite a bit with what the remaining 20% do? 99% of politicians here are in it for the money. The remaining 1% are in it to get something done - and they soon realise they are wasting their time. Who would you vote for?

    Feel free to play "guess the country" if you dont wish to discuss politics. That usually far more fun in fact.
