  1. Re:Is the driver open-source? on AMD Launches New ATI Linux Driver · · Score: 2, Insightful

    There are not that many graphic-intensive games for Linux.

    Nonsense, while the list isn't as big as Windows's there's still a fair number of graphics intensive games on Linux (though admittedly there may not be any ones that are so current that they absolutely need the latest hardware). Even just playing Doom 3 or UT2004 needs a 3d capable driver.

    Actually the two free games and additional waggledualshock is the standard package for the PS3 in Europe now, only the movies are actual extra bundles.

    Halo always looked like shit. Maybe you've regurgitated too much PS3 propaganda to realize people buy games for more than the looks.

    In the times of the inquisition that behaviour was probably closer to "government" than "criminal".

  5. Re:Reductio ad absurdum on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 1

    I don't know about Mohammed but I seem to recall Jesus never saying anything about having to pay the church, in fact I don't think he even cared about the concept of the church. I'm unsure but I think he even said that he didn't want people to worship him, he wanted them to worship God. AFAIK it's not impossible to follow Christian beliefs without ever interacting with any church. In contrast many modern cults are pretty heavy on demanding money and idolizing a specific person (technically the bible even forbids idolizing the saints and Jesus as much as the church does...).

    Overall I agree with you, asking whther gods exist should be preceeded by asking why we even consider the concept of gods as something that might exist, after all there's nothing that points at the existence of such a being. Personally I think claiming a god is with you was just a way for the smarter cavemen to gain control over dumber but stronger ones.

  6. Re:Fucking Scientologists. on Belgium May Prosecute the Church of Scientology · · Score: 2, Insightful

    At least Belgium is looking to treat it for what it is a money making corporation and not a religion or even a cult.

    I have no idea why the difference even matters, illegal acts should remain illegal acts whether you're a religion or not.

    Also that story sounds so stupid it could have been a combination of an anime plotline and George Lucas.

    China has MAD capabilities, you fire a nuke, they fire a whole bunch back. The result would just leave both countries severely crippled and vulnerable to a third party that might decide it's invasion time.

    Just disable Javascript and whitelist pages that are reasonably safe.

  17. Re:Revolt! on US May Invoke "State Secrets" To Stop Banking Suit · · Score: 1

    That wouldn't work, the US has too much military. Plus a war would give your govt a good excuse to take even more of your rights away so it would be counterproductive. Maybe it'll work in a decade or two if the US can't revive its economy and as a result can no longer maintain its military strength.

    Actually the EU was investigating because while the US subsidiary may do what they want, the EU one is not allowed to pass them any data if there's no guarantee that it won't be revealed to third parties.

    Then you can ask him why he thinks that paying taxes is actually contributing to the good of the common man?

    Because most of the tax money is invested in things that further the common good? What else keeps the police, fire fighters, courts, schools, kindergartens, roads and utilities (which are often subsidized by govt money) working?

    Hasn't every war in history been started by either those-collecting-taxes or those-who-want-to-collect-taxes ?

    I'm fairly sure most of them were also started by people wearing clothes.

    Of course the point on birth control is right, the Catholics should stop proclaiming bullshit like "just don't have sex" because they should have noticed by now that "no wanking" and "no sex" is either-or (or neither) but never both, humans want sex and that's something even the Church cannot deny ("be fertile and multiply!", when God wants something done he just puts the urge to do it into his creatures). The population growth in poorer areas is not sustainable. God knows the laws of the nature he made, he knows that populations self-regulate. Now he wants to test if we have enough control over ourselves to prevent the self-regulation from kicking in...
