  1. sadly both sides are acting atrociously. short of turning both Israel and Palestine into a wasteland I am not sure this will ever get better as both sides have demonstrated time and time again they are incapable of living peacefully.

    yes her complaints are fact, they are not doing what she wants. Thank fuck for that, people like her always believe they can do better but instead of actually doing better they whine about others that are actually making an effort. Gates foundation has saved millions of lives, she is butt hurt that it isn't the millions of lives she would have prioritised and that no one else got a say in who and how they made there chooses.

    LOL dude you don't have a fucking clue how tax works do you? this article is really really bad, reads like a whine fest of "they aren't focusing on the areas we want them to therefore anything good they do is outweighed by not doing what we want". She is more than free to create and fund her our foundation and focus on the ills she believes haunts the world instead of bitching about others that are actually trying to help

    He wasn't USING the software. He was uploading it to various warez forums for others. This is actually the exact sort of person these businesses and courts should be targeting rather than the end users. Sadly this seems to be the exception rather than the rule.

  5. Re:This is why ISIS wins on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but currently Turkey is claiming this was far more than a short-term border violation, but that it was actively bombing targets in Eastern Turkey.

    citation please? everything I have read, including the Turkish statements all say it was an incursion of just a few seconds where they crossed piece of Turkish land that protrudes into Syria, the jet was then shot down while it was in Syria, i.e. the jets were not even heading into turkey let alone on an active bombing run on turkey.

  6. Re:This is why ISIS wins on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It is not so clear on the turkey side. Where do you think ISIS sells their oil? where do you think they import most of their weapons, vehicles etc from? Turkey's only real enemy is Assad and the kurds. ISIS they have a love hate relationship with and seem to actively be in business with them.

  7. It is an unfortunate reality that relocating to somewhere like Ireland does cost significant money. This means unless your company is sufficiently sized you will actually lose more money than you save in doing so. The larger the organisation and the less dependent on local facilities the bigger the incentive to do this.

  8. Re:One huge problem still on How Close Are We To a Mars Mission? (thenewstack.io) · · Score: 1

    most of the types of tech required for this would have just as many benefits on earth, technology wise it is a win win. The time, money and commitment costs with a uncertain return make it a difficult thing for any government to commit too though. It is a bit like war, they are horrible and expensive but when challenged sufficiently humans are capable of coming up with some pretty amazing shit, for all the pain of the 2 world wars they brought about a shit ton of innovation.

  9. Re:Why? on George Lucas: "I'm Done With Star Wars" · · Score: 1

    It's a made up story. Isn't there any other universe that one could tell a story in? The only advantage of doing more stories in the Star Wars universe is if there is a connection to the earlier characters.

    bullshit, Star Wars has a huge array of species, lore, factions, organisations etc that make it a piece of cake to completely disregard ANY link to the orginal characters, hanging onto the original characters is just a way to play it safe and appeal to their popularity.

  10. Re:PS4 on Ask Slashdot: Xbox One Or PlayStation 4? · · Score: 1

    And the PS4 can't do 1080p/60fps a lot of cases either. in the end choose the one with the controller you prefer and the exclusives you prefer. Either console is excellent for graphics wise. choosing based purely on specs or power is moronic when it comes to consoles, if graphics and power was the primary concern you should not be looking at a console in the first place.

  11. As someone that helped create the mess in the Middle east I think Mr Woolsey the blood is actually on YOUR hands. I suspect he is having trouble sleeping and trying to pass the blame might help him with that.

    I get 50 Mbps in Canberra. basically the only way I even manage to push my usage to 1TB is by finding a heap of torrents the last day or two of the month. 50Mbps is easily enough to bring down 3-5 TB a month without even noticeably stressing your bandwidth.

    So your jealous of a home connection speed that is pointless for any home in the next decade at a minimum (probably a lot longer). The vast majority of homes and users don't even come close to utilising a 100Mbps connection. I have a 50Mbps connection for my relatively heavy usage house, we only consume around 1TB of traffic a month so we don't come close to stressing our connection. In Aus the average is under 100GB a month (last I saw it was around 30-40GB).

    Anonymous are completely incapable of such subtlety, really there is little to nothing effective Anonymous can do except boast about taking action. It would be nice to think they could impact them but really it will be similar to their actions with Charlie Hebdo which will amount to diddly squat and if anything just provides more publicity for them.

    Pol Pot was a Buddhist as was his entire government, only "other" religions were targeted in his ban on religion. It is still somewhat up for debate whether Mao was an atheist or not, many accounts say he certainly was NOT an atheist. Stalin was thought to believe in god, but not religion.
