    You need to get familiar with CoE stand on this. This treatment is not dignifying or fair at all.

  2. Violation of his human rights on Pirate Bay Co-Founder In Solitary Confinement · · Score: 2

    This treatment is a clear violation of his human rights. Sweden state should be sued over this treatment to ECJ. Since Charter of Fundamental Rights of the European Union is part of Lisbon Treaty that Sweden has agreed to. I am not sure where the first one might be sued to. But that might be European Court of Human Rights.

  3. Ion thruster on Virgin Galactic's Quiet News: Virgin Now Owns The SpaceShip Company · · Score: 0

    They don't even have Class 2 and Class 3 ion thruster to use. They are not going to go above 600 km, or Earth orbit to be exact. Current class 1 ion thruster technology is only good for deep space probes (small units).

    Current technology that humans use for spacecrafts is not going to get us far. Regardless if the we call it Virgin Galactic, NASA or European Space Agency. The simple fact is the we are not investing anything to forward space technology towards the level it makes human space travel useful. We rather send robots to work in space. Rather then humans.

    There is a way to travel in space safer and faster. But it takes time and money to get there and a lot of mistakes in the long run.

  4. Ocean waves on Ask Slashdot: Transporting Computers By Cargo Ship? · · Score: 1

    Your biggest problem is not heat or moisture. But sea water. Your biggest risk is that your container is going to get hit with ocean waves and it might leak. Sea water changes computer hardware into useless junk in no-time. So your best option is to backup all your data on hard-drives that you take with you when you move. Rest of your belonging is something that you just have to hope for the best during this 8 weeks at sea.

    I am planning my own long distance move in few years time. This was one of the risk factors I did calculate into it. As I know it has happened containers have been lost at sea due to ocean waves hitting ships. So getting good insurance is also important if your belongings get lost or damaged in transit.

  5. Won't last that long on Gold Artifact To Orbit Earth In Hope of Alien Retrieval · · Score: 4, Informative

    The hops this satellite is going last 5 billion years at the orbit of 30.000 km is just nonsense. The orbit is too low and unstable at best, even if this is geosync orbit. He would have needed a orbit pattern of at least 600.000 km (outside the orbit of the moon) to get this goal. Outside forces are more likely to push the satellite towards Earth in few thousands years. Rather then from it. Orbital debris is also going to be a major problem in the long term.

    They can do that and at the same time fall of the map as country with any technological development what so ever. The recession of that would be so bad that U.S would be cut off from the rest of the world. How in return would just mind his own business after few hard years.

  7. He can go and... on Pakistan's PM Demands International Blasphemy Laws From UN · · Score: 2

    Pakistan Prime Minister Raja Pervez Ashraf can go and fuck him self in the ass. No, I am being serious. This cunt and others like him have no right on forcing others to obey by there religious rules. While the Koran forbids Muslims to draw pictures of Mohammed prophet (and warmonger of his time). It says nothing about others not being able to do so.

    Submission by fear is not something I agree with. Nobody should in fact. So PM of Pakistan can go fuck him self in the ass. Preferred on live television world wide.

    >You answered your own question, they use the same statement.

    No. They don't use the same statement. Creationism uses false arguments (known as lies) to back up there "claims" on the world. Not an mountain of data is going to convince them about them being wrong on this. Since truth is something they do not care about at all. If it did. Creationism would not exist at all.

    You can also get to choose to have your brain removed. No there is no option here. You can always ask that tooth fairy and biology of trolls to be taught as science in school class.

    Creationism is not an argument. This is an ideology that has only one goal. Destroy science, democracy and progress. Since they find the dark ages to be dream place.

  10. Why is this even a issue ? on Science Wins Over Creationism In South Korea · · Score: 1, Insightful

    Why on Earth is this even an issue ? It is clearly that creationism is nothing but religious fundamentalism Taliban style. I have grown tiered of people are undermining society, democracy , technical progress and science with there own stupidity and religious fundamentalism. This is an non-issue. The creationisms are wrong. Have always been wrong. All there arguments are lies and always will be that.

    This people are best put silent by telling to shut the fuck up! Preferably forever.

    I know that I am going to flamed for this by religious fundamentalists that lurk slashdot for this type of comments and articles. But I do not care. As I know that I am right and they are wrong.

  11. Re:Leave you phone^W lojack at home. on Leave Your Cellphone At Home, Says Jacob Appelbaum · · Score: 1

    The problem is not technology. But governments how are happy to abuse it against it's citizens and others how travel across countries borders (U.S in this case. But this applies on a lot wider scale today). If you want to carry an mobile phone. Get the dumbest quad-band phone you can find. Or just use smart phone as dumb phone with nothing special in it (wipe it clean before crossing the border. Keep the backup encrypted on Google drive or Dropbox).

    There are options are out there. One of them is to have no mobile phone at all. But that limits one choices today in terms of connectivity.

  12. Oh, good. Now everyone can sue Apple for infringe there patents. Even if they did not take all the steps. This goes both ways for Apple.

    Floyd Landis did admit to doping at later date. This I did not know when I did write the above. So some of it can be dismissed due to my bad info. But in part what I did say still stands.

  14. Testimonies on Lance Armstrong and the Science of Drug Testing · · Score: 2

    It is a fact that people do lie. So in fact, if nothing else. The testimonies in question are dubious if not just plain out lie if they are not supported by any real data. In this case they do not seems to be here.

    It is my opinion that Travis Tygart needs to be investigated for corruption, illegal activity as a CEO of USADA. He also should be suspended at this moment.

    This has also happened before. Strangely enough. The circumstances are similar as they where in the case of Lance Armstrong. Wiki has an small article on it.

  16. Re:It's a long term policy on Will Real Name Policies Improve Comments? · · Score: 2

    Companies that hire people on there political views are doing so because it benefits them (so they believe) when it comes to having all employee agreeing on certain views.

    The downside is that a group of people how do nothing but agreeing with each other do not make a lot of progress at the same time. This is evident today's world.

    Secure boot would be re-writable cd-rom or dvd. But with the swamp and data on the hard drive. It allows for two things. Secure boot and no loss of data. It would also be smart to move away from Linux to FreeBSD, NetBSD, OpenBSD or something of that nature. As Linux is well known today and has possibility of exploits.

  20. We can't detect the signal at the distance on No Intelligent Aliens Detected In Gliese 581 · · Score: 1

    The problem is not that we can't detect the signal. We got all the hardware. The problem is that we might be well outside the radio signal range to be detected, as radio signal can only be carried so far by its power. But the best option for accurate detection would be to place a radio monitoring hardware just outside the orbit of Pluto for that purpose.

    There is no wonder why the Tory are going to loose the next elections big time in few years time. I guess the people in the UK are not going to stand for this type of thinking in the government of the UK.

    This also has nothing to do with children. That is just a cover up to get this censorship past the UK parliament.

  23. Re:About time common sense prevailed! on Time to Review FAA Gadget Policies · · Score: 1

    But mobile phones does not work on an air plain that is in the air. That is due to the speed of the air plain and the fact that mobile transmissions are based to the ground. Not up in the air. On limited cases you can get an mobile signal for limited amount of time if you are at the right angle with an mobile transmitter on the ground. But that contact only lasts for a limited amount of the, as favorable angle only lasts for an limited time. Speed of the air plane also makes it impossible to get an mobile signal. The only reason you can get an mobile signal at correct angle is due to relative motion.

    But in most cases that is not the case, and your mobile phone won't get any signal at all.
