  1. Re:Left wing ?? on Internet Censorship in Australia? · · Score: 1

    The UK Govt. is left wing

    Being left of the tories doesn't really have to mean you are "left wing". The UK Govt certainly isn't.

  2. Re:Easiest ways to meet women.. on Online Dating Advice? · · Score: 5, Funny

    Even if she's only a 5 or 6, she may have friends who are a 8,9 or a 10 that you can meet later on if you stay friends. Work out your moves on the low stress situation with the 5 or 6 so that when it really counts, you'll be ok.

    I actually dont feel that 10 year olds are mature enough for me :(

    What the fuck are you talking about?
    Like you said, Europe needs more young people, "putting up with" immigration seems like an excellent way to get more young people in to the country. Where exactly is the problem?

  15. Re:Robert Heinlein's Security Advice on Home Defense, Geek Style? · · Score: 1

    I'd say the best home defense weapon for someone with no skill is one very large cannister of pepper spray (large so they don't run out before they hit the guy, and long-range so they don't have to get any closer than ten or twenty feet - the length of a room.) Someone hit with pepper spray is definitely out of action as far as any other weapon is concerned (unless he starts spraying the room with bullets while he can't see - which is unlikely since pepper spray is really bad news.)

    Actually, one can get very used to pepper spray. I've seen people get hit right in the eyes with a fairly large amount of it (the stuff that the Swedish police has, whatever that is), and still be able to behave rationally, and even navigate pretty good. (sure, your vision gets fucked up, but you can still see something. And as long as you have enough adrenaline pumping you kind of ignore the pain and keep your eyes open).

    I would say that the best way to protect your self from burglars is to just lock the door to your beedroom, and stay there (and maybe call the cops?). You know, burglars don't break in to houses to hurt random people, they break in to houses to steal stuff. And I bet most people would choose their life over their tv.

  18. Re:Know your location? on VoIP 911 Emergency Service: Problems and Fixes · · Score: 1

    If you actually think that burglars break into random houses just to "attack" the residents, you need some therapy and medicine. Not a phone or shotgun.

  19. Re:Nothing beats water to learn swimming, on Best Training in Linux Administration? · · Score: 1

    Actually, sparring is kind of useless if you want to learn real-life fighting. The only way to learn that is to do some (lots of) real-life fighting. So, install linux at home and piss of LOTS of people that will try to hack you.

  22. Re:Sounds like the US on Solar Powered Computers Planned for Rural India · · Score: 1

    Yeah I know, that sucks.

    Reminds me of a kid in my school who got banned from using any computers for several months because he showed the admin that poledit on win95 boxes wasn't really going to stop anybody from doing what they wanted (start -> run -> poledit -> change any policy you want). Appearently, he was a "troublemaker".

    Except they don't just know how to use them with zero instruction. And the schools lack a curriculum for educating them in the use of the computers, or lack any practical applications of them.

    So let them learn by them selves? Kids are great at learning and exploring new things.
