  1. In regards to the question asked on Where Were You When PLATO Was Born? · · Score: 1

    In regards to the question that is asked here the answer for simple for me.

    I was nowhere, as I did not yet exist and I where therefore not yet born.

    Use the Facebook delete your account form. You have to sign in to use this.

    Facebook does not make this easy. Somebody should sue them for making people go trough this long way to delete your account.

  3. Lets censor the fundamentalists on South Park's Episode 201 — the Expurgated Version · · Score: 2, Interesting

    I am tired of this nonsense. I suggest that we start to censor the fundamentalists like they try to censor our free speech.

    Good offence is the best defence in some cases.

  4. Re:Hold Pitchforks! on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    Then why does Apple insist on holding there monopoly on stores that can sell iPhone apps.

    It is a question that needs to be asked.

  5. Re:Ready Pitchforks! on Steve Jobs Recommends Android For Fans of Porn · · Score: 1

    So Steve Jobs is into fascism now, or something like it. This type of draconian idealism is a bad thing.

    It is really cheap to hide your fascism under the umbrella of "moral responsibility". I expect that iPhone is going to start censor calls on the fly because of Steve Jobs "moral responsibility" to keep "bad stuff" out of iPhone and from the people how use it.

  6. Re:Argh, you're right on Venezuela's Last Opposition TV Owner Arrested · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This dictator should not be allowed to exist. People of Venezuela should block him right away. His grab of power has been slow, but it has happened anyway.

    Venezuela has lost its democracy and that can only end badly. I guess we are going to see some wars in South America soon.

    If you didn't squander all that money on the military, we could live on the moon and Mars already.

  8. Background radiation on Studies Find Harm From Cellular and Wi-Fi Signals · · Score: 1

    I get more background radiation then radiation from a mobile phone that normally runs on 0,5W and up to a 1W in a city. In rural area and places far from the transmitter normal GSM phone runs on 2W at 850/900Mhz, but they only run at 1W at 1800/1900Mhz. The same goes for 3G connections.

    Going on a air plane is more dangerous then using a mobile phone.

  9. Madness of the corporation on Will Your Super Bowl Party Anger the Copyright Gods? · · Score: 1

    This is madness. Someone is going to have stop this, or it is going to mean the end of TV.

  10. Re:PayPal has been at it for years! on PayPal Freezes the Assets of Wikileaks.org · · Score: 1

    screw-paypal.com is a sham in it self. You can tell, they disable the right click so you cannot get the menu to link or copy material from that web page.

    I recommend any of those web pages instead.

  11. PayPal should be put on oversight on PayPal Freezes the Assets of Wikileaks.org · · Score: 3, Insightful

    PayPal should and needs to be put on oversight from a bank regulator. What it does cannot be left un-regulated as it is today. Abuse of this of part of PayPal is all too common. Use google to find more examples.

    GoogleCash also needs to follow under the same rules as PayPal. However I am yet to hear of this type of case from GoogleCash as I do with Paypal.

  12. I hope that... on Iceland's Data Center Push Finally Gets Traction · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I hope that this datacenters can take earthquakes, as they are building them on top of active seismic zone on the Reykjanes. But then there is also the volcano problem and the ash that can happen when a volcano eruption is taking place.

  13. In Iceland.... on Swiss Geologist On Trial For Causing Earthquakes · · Score: 2, Informative

    Here in Iceland they have been pumping down Co2 for testing. That is down with water, but the result is the same, it has created earthquakes. The largest one was about ML2.0 before they stopped the experiment.

    I don't know why it was stopped. But it is quite oblivious that pressure changes create earthquakes faster then one might think.

    However, in Iceland they where pumping down that water within a active volcano with a lot of fault lines.

    The problems with shells is that they are hard to spot. Some have been around for years, building up legitimate reputation and such.

    In the case of TBP, we will see.

    The piratebay is down. Given the news, I guess that is not a surprise at all. The new owners, deleting the web page. I think that the company that did buy The Piratebay was a shell company for one the RIAA/MPAA members.

    The cops need to raid UK-FACT offices. I am sure that they have some shady stuff. Groups like UK-FACT always do.

  19. Re:It's Comcastic on Comcast To Bring IPv6 To Residential US In 2010 · · Score: 1

    Try going to Sixxs.net (IPv6 ready) and see if you connect with a Global IPv6 address or not. Local-Link IPv6 is just your standard IPv6 that comes with Windows XP/Vista, it is not good for anything that I know of.

  20. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 1

    So, Apple new 3G phone is three band ? This bads are used commonly in that case 850/1900/2100. There already are Nokia phones that are two and thee band 3G, 900/2100 (Europe), 850/1900 or 850/1900/2100 (U.S), or 900/1900/2100 (Europe).

    There are not many 3G phones with 3G 1700 support yet. I am not sure why that is.

  21. Re:BooHoo on iPhone Users Angry Over AT&T Upgrade Policy · · Score: 1

    Is it 3G 850, 3G 1900 or 3G 2100 ? Because it matters. In Europe, 3G 2100 and 3G 900 are used.

  22. Re:War is peace on North Korea Conducts Nuclear Test · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    North Korea is actually playing a dangerous game with China now. They might even loose there support because of there nuke test(s).

    However, there are 50% chance of war anyway. There is a good chance that North-Korea is going to attack South Korea when there current crazy leader dies.

    The current status provides no good for South Korea in terms of solutions regarding North Korea.

  23. Re:Best weapon is trade and communication. on Microsoft Blocks Messenger In Five Embargoed Countries · · Score: 1

    On that note, it is worth pointing out that North-Korea doesn't have internet (the public at large). They do however have one big LAN, but that is even censored.

  24. Re:Why should we care? on Voyager Clue Points To Origin of the Axis of Evil · · Score: 2, Informative

    The current robot mission (New Horizon) to Pluto should provide better answers in the future. The New Horizon mission is going to reach Pluto in 2015, so it should be at the boundary at 2020 or 2025, I am not sure about the exact date in that manner. But it is somewhere along those years.
