  1. Re:That isn't exactly correct on Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War · · Score: 1

    Nah, read all my posts, it will be clear that i'm not an american.

    I know only what i read, and i read this earlier:
    1. before 1941 the soviet tanks were outdated and were easily dispatched by the germans. The russians started developing a better tank (T-34) after this time. So, originally their tanks were inferior.

    2. the americans sent Sherman tanks as support

    Surprisingly, the book i got this from was printed in 1980, and in that time our country was still under soviet reign, so you (or i) cannot even claim this information has an anti-soviet bias.

  2. maybe they want to act good, like Google? on Amazon Patents Bad Service For Bad Customers · · Score: -1, Redundant

    As others said, this should be beneficial to customers, Amazon could sue all other bad suppliers out of existence.

  3. Re:That isn't exactly correct on Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War · · Score: 1

    K, i really didn't know that the soviets were so technically advanced (at least on the field of tanks).
    I thought most of their tanks came from the allies.

  4. Re:what a nonsense on Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War · · Score: 1

    Kamikazi didn't attack civilians, as far as i know they were used as guided missiles against enemy weaponry. (Though, if you think about it, these 'missiles' were much more intelligent than anything today, i just forgot the Japanese).

    The fact that nazis killed millions of civilians wasn't in this topic, the topic is about how tech affects partisan/insurgent warfare.
    What the nazis or japanese did was not like that, they killed their (and the occupied) civilians in an organised manner.

  5. the misconception of observation on The Universe Damaged By Observation? · · Score: 1

    You 'observe' things when they affect you or your equipment.
    Thus it is impossible to avoid 'observation'.
    Thus, what humanity did, didn't change anything, yet.
    There is more 'danger' in the particle colliders which might create particles that normally don't exist. Not like i'm overly scared, i doubt they could amass more energy than to destroy a city.

  6. Re:what a nonsense on Technology Leveling The Playing Field In Modern War · · Score: 1

    Yep, this is correct.
    Germany had all the modern weaponry, the Soviets had only manpower and bad weather on their side (at least in the beginning). The european countries all were a pushover, except the UK, which was protected by terrain :) They would have perished if there is no channel between Europe and UK.

    There was some partisan warfare then, which resembles the Iraqi situation, except that wwii partisans didn't go suicide and didn't kill their own civilians.

  7. heh? on The 110 Million Dollar Button · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I never click on any ads, so Google should forbid me to use its search engine?

  8. 10k penalty plus cost of the machines? on California Sues E-Voting Vendor ES&S · · Score: 1

    They wanted the machines for free:)

  9. Re:This is irrelevant on Comparing Memory Usage of Firefox 2 vs 3 · · Score: 1

    4GB? Are you nuts? 1GB must be enough for everyone.

  10. Re:so on Firefox 3 Beta 1 Review · · Score: 1, Redundant

    Yes, but only with Linux.
    On Vista, it uses slightly more memory than Vista, but only if Vista leaves some free memory.

  11. no fingerprints? on Japan to Start Fingerprinting Foreign Travelers · · Score: 1

    What about plastic surgery which removes fingerprints?

  12. Re:Somewhere it it's odd.. on Losing Personal Info On A Laptop Could Get You Charged · · Score: 1

    This information worths more when it is only in THEIR possession, or when they got PAID for it.
    Information stolen from them means loss they want to mitigate.
    Coincidentally, this is to your own benefit as well.

  13. Re:Anime is porn.. on Comcast Targets Unlicensed Anime Torrenters · · Score: 1

    If comcast isn't a copyright holder and they were not asked by any copyright holders, then they have to shut up if they offered unlimited bandwidth.
    Even when they didn't offer unlimited bandwidth, they shouldn't abuse the DMCA.
    This has nothing to do with the DMCA.
    And why do you care if it is porn or not porn, for Comcast it is just series of bits they are obliged to transfer.

  14. Re:What is so bad about Vista? on Vista at Risk of Being Bypassed by Businesses · · Score: 1

    There are fewer people running it, and those who run it are usually fanbois. They will not admit it loudly.
    Besides, while i didn't see Leopard, i doubt it is half as bad as Vista.
    Does Leopard freeze while playing movies?
    Does Leopard as the same stupid question about permissions every 5 minute?
    Does Leopard choke on deleting many files?
    Does Leopard lie about updates?
    Does Leopard require you to hunt non existing drivers?

  15. Because you have not seen MS Office 2007? on Robots Assimilate Into Cockroach Society · · Score: 1

    It definitely trumps msoffice 2003 UI in uselessness.

  16. Re:no one claims C# prevents wasting memory... on C# Memory Leak Torpedoed Princeton's DARPA Chances · · Score: 1

    Well, it seems like these event handlers need to be reworked so people who "don't care with pointers" can use them effectively.
    I personally prefer using C++ with Valgrind not some fancy language with garbage collection.

  17. Re:Why aging occurs... on A New Theory of Everything? · · Score: 1

    I don't want to live forever, but an extra thousand years, with optional enhancements, would be a good starter.

  18. Re:Lots of major breakthroughs on Major Breakthrough in Direct Neural Interface · · Score: 1

    What wheelchair? Either bionic limb replacements or limbs regrown from own cells. All this depends on which lobby wins.

  19. Re:just read this guy's wikipedia on Gene Simmons Blames College Kids For Music Industry Woes · · Score: 1

    But this was no gambling. The win or lose scenario was based purely on skill, not luck.

  20. Re:why is this a rootkit? on World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit · · Score: 1

    Warden gets information out of your system, it doesn't control it.

    What happens when any software gets rooted?

  21. why is this a rootkit? on World of Warcraft's Brand New Rootkit · · Score: 1

    rootkit: hides completely from the user, user cannot disable or uninstall it while it is active

    warden: polymorphic, encrypted

    There is nothing common in them

  22. Re:umm on New NSA-Approved Encryption Standard May Contain Backdoor · · Score: 3, Interesting

    The weakness of the encryption is not incompetence.
    The incompetence is that they failed to hide it.

  23. you didn't read the FA? on Saving Power in your Home Office · · Score: 2, Informative

    It said the new LCD was better on the eyes. I think it worths $200 to not ruin your eyes...
    But i agree, he probably spent 5x more to save $90.

  24. I don't know why is he surprised on Police swoop on 'Hacker of the Year' · · Score: 2, Insightful

    He fucked the police states, so the police bit back.
    He is lucky not to be in russia or china or cold war US so he got no bullet in his head.

  25. I don't understand something. on The Nuclear Power Renaissance · · Score: 1

    If the byproduct of these reactors is a high energy substance (otherwise it wouldn't give a bang in a weapon), why this energy couldn't be extracted peacefully?
