    Um, Burn the heretic?

  3. Church? on Internet Deconstructing State Church in Finland · · Score: 5, Funny

    Nothing for you to see here. Please move along..
    I resigned from the church ages ago, where's the site to help people resign from the state?

  4. Re:Why Yahoo on Microsoft/Yahoo! Merger a Good Idea? · · Score: 1

  13. Re:Torrents can be bogus too. on Reputation System Fights P2P Junk · · Score: 2, Insightful

    True, but Torrents rely on the community, while with things like kaaza, many times what you want is hosted by one guy, and it's hard to kick fakes. In torrents, fakes die very quickly, thanks to the 'OMG fake' comments on the torrent sights.
