  1. Re:The result is on Appeals Court Rules On Internet Obscenity Standards · · Score: 1

    That pictures of women who are not covered top to toe are considered porn. I am sure thare are some communities of strict muslims in the US.

    As a result, all newsstands must be closed down, and all newspapers will have to show pictueres only of men.

    Stupidity rulez

    But make sure they are "Manly Islamic Men", no queers or kaffirs thank you ....

  2. Re:So Iran's standards then? on Appeals Court Rules On Internet Obscenity Standards · · Score: 5, Funny

    It's really humourous when you live on the same Continent and watch with complete confusion as their entire country sues itself to death. I truly can't believe how litigious their society has become.

    If I were American I'd sue you for saying that

  4. Re:Remove one and unanimity is impossible on Study Says OOXML Unsuitable For Norwegian Government · · Score: 1

    In that case talk about a European document standard makes about as much sense as if you talked about a satandad for the continent of America or Asia or something like that

  5. Re:Finally, someone gets it. on Lord Lucas Says Record Companies "Blackmail" Users · · Score: 1

    Summons are sent by registered mail and you have to sign for them and you have 5 days to respond in writting (Court of Queens Bench) if you don't respond they automatically rule against you.

    I believe that it is "decided in your absence", and there have been a handful of cases where a judge has decided that the case is so shaky that even in these circumstances they decide in favour of the defendant.

  6. Dykes are pretty common round here on Courts Move To Ban Juror Use of Net, Social Sites · · Score: 1

    In this part of England there are lots of dykes, the black dyke band, Hag Dyke, which is now a scout hostel, car dyke mills, grimes dyke primary school to name just a few.

  7. Re:a better way to say this on Studies Reveal Why Kids Get Bullied and Rejected · · Score: 1

    1 Don't be prey 2 don't start fights 3 always end them

    The absolute worst thing for a bully to get caught in is getting blasted by a girl so Those with kids (congrats btw) figure out how to teach your kid how to move correctly and how to cause PAIN (hit a guy in the right spot and it won't matter that your gloves/shoes are satin he is going down HARD)

    If your kid gets good enough "Be Somewhere Else" will be taken very seriously

    You don't even need to end fights, just let them know you don't care. Bullying stoped when I just said to a bully "yes, I know you are better than me at a fist fight, but lets face it if either of us really put our mind to it the other one would be dead by next week". he went on to pick on people who saw being punched in the playground as a large event in the scheme of things.

    3) Find the promising artists and writers

    They know who they are.

    The problem is sorting them out from the 10,000 other useless artists and writers who "know for certain" that they are the next big thing and are waiting to be discovered.

  9. Re:Sneaky. on US Missile Defense Test Fails · · Score: 1

    The chances of a sovereign state attacking the USA with one of these missiles is very small. If terrorists get hold of a nuclear device or dirty bomb, or a rogue state wants to attack the USA and make it look like a terrorist attack, then it will not be launched from their country.

    They might sneak it into an unpopulated area of another country, but once you have it secretly transported it is probably just as easy to take it to a port or airport in the West.

  10. Right on "No Scan, No Fly" At Heathrow and Manchester · · Score: 4, Funny

    Another reason not to fly. Period.

    If god had meant us to fly he wouldn't have given us genitals.

  11. Re:Sneaky. on US Missile Defense Test Fails · · Score: 1

    Except that it is now most likely (though still very unlikely) that a nuclear strike on the USA will come from a terrorist device in the cargo hold of a ship or airplane rather than flying in on the end of a missile.

  12. Re:Safety Critical on Toyota Pedal Issue Highlights Move To Electronics · · Score: 1

    I remember locking *out* my rear brakes on an old car with a V6 I had so that only the front brakes worked, then revved the engine and let out on the clutch and the rear tires broke tread and "burnt rubber" while I never budged forward an inch. So yep, you are most definitely correct.

  13. Re:unauthorized access of a protected computer on Scientology Attacker Will Be Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 1

    No, but you just slashdotted the Idea of a banana

    There will be some poor guy in a produce section of a supermarket just standing there and muttering "what did I come in for...."

  14. Re:unauthorized access of a protected computer on Scientology Attacker Will Be Sentenced To Jail · · Score: 3, Interesting

    In some ways you can think of a person's brain as a computer.

    Did I just have illegal access to a computer system?

    I think we need a new acronym: RTFS. Oh its already overloaded.

  16. I don't blame them on Canadian Android Carrier Forcing Firmware Update · · Score: 1

    I can't blame them for forcing this update. Firstly they have a legal obligation to ensure that people can contact the emergency services wherever possible. Secondly if they didn't and someone got injured because they could not report an incident they could be severely sued ... like punitive damages.

  17. Re:Really? on Is Programming a Lucrative Profession? · · Score: 1

    I'm not so sure, is it that ridiculous that a programmer might shell out $200 for a good text editor? I have, trying to work without Multi-Edit available to me seems like having an arm amputated. I got used to it 16 or so years ago, and have used it ever since.

    Why is this famebait? Its the same in the UK (apart from the athletic programs), someone studying engineering is an unpopular nerd compared to someone studying art history, media studies, etc.

    What happened to judging products on their merits? Has Microsoft really damaged you so much that whatever they do meets so much resistance that the sheer *thought* of using a product would make you cringe?

    Yes, Yes, Yes
    Its like saying that you should allow the KKK to adopt a highway because they do a reasonable job of clearing the litter - sometimes the nature of organisation outways the merrits of the product.

  24. They have to be careful ... on Google To Suspend Mobile Phone Launch In China · · Score: 2, Interesting

    They have to be careful. After all the android is open source and China certainly has the capability of making their own mobile phones. If they don't sell in China, China could just make its own Android, and use the economies of scale to export it to the West too. This threat is a bit like a Scotsman saying he won't sell his whiskey in Nashville
