  1. Absurd? on P.I.I. In the Sky · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Using IP to identify a person responsible for an internet crime is roughly the same as using a car insurance policy owner to identify the runaway killer.

  2. Re:How soon we forget on How Microsoft Has Changed Without Bill Gates · · Score: 1

    I didn't. My first computer was a 8-bit machine.

    My first computer didn't even have 8-bits. It had 2, but you couldn't use both at the same time. You had to go up 7 floors to get the other bit and then swap them out.

    You were lucky to get that, mine had only one bit and it could only hold zero in it!

  3. Re:A modest proposal on Incandescent Bulbs Return To the Cutting Edge · · Score: 1

    Ask /.: why is parent insightful, rather than funny? :P

  4. Re:I'm tired of these stories! on iPhone 3GS Finally Hacked · · Score: 1

    The proper analogy would be the car maker telling you who your passenger can or cannot be.

    The NHS treatment is free

    No it's not.

    You can probably guess I one of those evil socialist types ;o), but I come from a country where we have socialised medicine. It is certainly not perfect, but I don't believe that is a fault with the system, but a fault with the people running it.

    I don't believe you are evil, I think you're just not that bright. What you just said is like saying that there's nothing wrong with 2+3=4, it's the 3 thats ruining it.

  7. Re:Apples and Nukes on ACLU Creates Map of US "Constitution-Free Zone" · · Score: 1

    Let's face it - the moment the military fired upon it's own citizens in any MASSIVE amount, it would be an outright war, and your PUNY 5+ million army (with only about 600,000 stationed at home currently) would be SORELY OUTNUMBERED and by sheer volume alone TOTALLY OUTGUNNED.

    Not only that - they would be DESERTING in vast numbers, whole 'mechanized companies' would switch sides. No one likes to kill their own family and friends, their own people.

  8. Re:so now when us paranoids rant wbout your memori on Scientists Erase Specific Memories In Mice · · Score: 1

    Time travel *is* possible on a quantum level, electrons do this all the time. Photons are 'beyond' time, time doesn't exist for a photon because it moves at the speed of light and everything is constant for it. Time travel is also possible on 'macro' level and involves time-space warping huge masses.

  9. Re:Pointless and too expensive on First Mars-Goers Should Prepare For a One-Way Trip · · Score: 1

    There's no reason for anyone to live on Mars. The only reason to visit Mars is because it's there.

    This is a good enough reason for me and millions of other men. And if it wasn't for us you'd still live in caves. Its because of you and the likes of you that we're still bound to Earth. Nevertheless, the new age of men comes, inevitably. Vae victis!

  10. Re:fp bitches! on Robotic Suit For Rent In Japan · · Score: 1

    Furthermore, in 'not so civilized' parts of the world elderly are not expected to take care of themselves, their families are.

  11. Re:You've completely missed it on Research Suggests Polygamous Men Live Longer · · Score: 1

    O vs M: Obama vs. McCain--no matter who wins, We the People lose.

    So it shouldn't matter if you 'loose' your vote for Ron Paul?
