    oh yes, the obscure wikipedia link has been usurped, by the non existant wikipedia link. Are you hoping someone who already knows about it will write the article before anyone else clicks on it?

  4. Re:Vegetarian, Kosher, Hilal? on Edible Antifreeze For Smoother Ice Cream · · Score: 1

    Gelatin usually comes from piggys, but it can be made from cows too, a lot of big brands use cow gelatine now so as not to miss out on the Jewish and Muslim markets.

    no, in that situation, rich people can choose, rich people can choose to pollute as much as they like and do whatever they want, and poor people get screwed over. as always.

    Would be useful for parents of fat kids too. Make the chubby little fucks get up once in a while.

  8. Re:Ow. Bad for the US economy!!!! on Britain Advises Against Vista, Office 2007 for Schools · · Score: 1

    no, we own the missiles and we can launch them, however the missiles rely on a US guidance system, the warheads could be put into cruise missiles or bombers but the trident missiles (the UK doesn't use ICBMs, but instead maintains global missile strike ability by keeping nuclear submarines hidden all over the world.) need US satellites for guidance. Without the US codes the missiles wouldn't be able to find their targets.

  9. Re:Opposed to facts on 12 Florida Schools Pass Anti-Evolution Resolutions · · Score: 1

    Exactly, nothing is ever proven true. Look at Newtonian mechanics, it was shown to give the correct answer for every test there was for it, it explained every phenomenon that had been observed at the time and there were no situations where it was found to be wrong, it wasn't until later that situations were found where it was shown to be wrong and it was usurped by quantum mechanics.

  12. Re:Papers please on National ID Cards Mandated in the US, If You're Under 50 · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Of course the 9/11 hijackers didn't have fake ID, they hadn't done anything wrong before that, 9/11 was the first terrorist thing they did. All an ID does is prove who you are, it does prove you aren't a terrorist. People who should be able to get a drivers licence are anyone who can drive, that's what drivers licences are for. All ID does is tell you who someone is, it doesn't tell you that they aren't a terrorist.

    they should have put pass through ports on anything that doen't need a surface for a screen ir lens or whatever. Then you could just pile another thing on top of the accelerometer.

  17. Re:Good for safety on GM Says Driverless Cars Will Be Ready By 2018 · · Score: 0, Troll

    Well, as a cyclist and a car driver I'd say the most unsafe road users are motorcycle drivers, what other road users overtake at 70 mph on a narrow road, and accelerate at unsafe speed out of corners, if bikers didn't cut between lanes of traffic, and go round corners on the wrong side of the road constantly, maybe they wouldn't be in more accidents than any other road users. And if it really is the fault of car drivers, constantly hitting bikers, how come cyclists don't have the same appalling accident rate that motorbikes do?

  18. not very curvy on Alienware's Curved Monitor · · Score: 1

    it's not exactly wrap around, with that shallow curve, it wouldn't fill your field of vision much more than a flat monitor of the same size. They nee to make it even wider and even more curvy.

    Not useful for yanks tho, cos European Keyboards are a different shape to US keyboards. My UK keyboard is the shame shape as my French and German friends keyboards, only the letters are different. US keyboards are a different shape and have a different number of keys.

  24. Re:How vs. Why on Science Text Attempts to Reconcile Religion and Science · · Score: 1

    belief in god does not lead to people behaving nicely. Religion is one of the main causing of people behaving nastily, all throughout history we see thousands of examples of people behaving like total cunts because they believe their god told them too. The bible is full of god telling people to kill other people and to rape and enslave.

    If people believe they will be answering to god for things like 'why didn't you kill those infidels?' or 'why did you allow those fags to live?' then they are going to do far worse thing than if they believed in nothing.
