  1. Not a win on New GCHQ Chief Says Social Media Aids Terrorists · · Score: 4, Insightful

    If we start screaming, crying, and arresting people as soon as they express a view we don't like we have not defeated the Muslims. We have become like the Muslims.

  2. Re:Old saying on New Atomic Clock Reaches the Boundaries of Timekeeping · · Score: 4, Funny

    yeah and GPS absolutely doesn't rely on clocks...

    GPS doesn't have much to do with a saying from the 1800's.

    If you thought you were raising a valid point, YOU FAIL IT.

    If you thought you were being funny, YOU FAIL IT.

    HTH, HAND

    You would think so until you hear the full saying:

    When going to sea, take one clock or three, but never two
    Or a GPS receiver will do

  3. Re:Birthrate on Russia Takes Down Steve Jobs Memorial After Apple's Tim Cook Comes Out · · Score: 1

    I thought Russia's birthrate problem was mostly due to men drinking themselves to death. Their women don't want to be around guys who are drinking themselves to death, so they prefer to become mail-order brides.

    Yes they are looking at a choice between giving up the vodka or blaming the gays .... is anyone surprised at the result?

  4. Re:Nuclear powered drill on Japan's Annual Nuclear Drill Highlights Problems · · Score: 3, Informative

    I was SO confused

    maybe this will help.

  5. You mean on Amazon Releases (Not Many) Details On Its Workforce Demographics · · Score: 2, Insightful

    "The broad assumption is that a high percentage of their black and Latino employees work in their warehouses."

    You mean they discriminate against White and Asian warehouse employees?

  6. Re:Sadly, not surprising. on Australian Courts Will Be Able To See Your Browsing History · · Score: 1

    Nobody seems to show the slightest interest towards these kind of issues anymore

    What can they do legally ... they can't protest!

  7. Re:its terrible on Pianist Asks Washington Post To Remove Review Under "Right To Be Forgotten" · · Score: 2

    The Washington Post can just ignore the EU. The EU has no authority to enforce this short of making a Chinese style firewall blocking the Washington Post everywhere in the EU.

    Well it can fine any operations in Europe.

  8. Re: is it worth the effort ? on Jedi-ism Becomes a Serious Religion · · Score: 1

    Oh fuck off. Take your bigotry and shove it up your ass. Every religion is the dark side. :)

    The problem is that in Islam there is a very large dark side, and the majority of followers either support it or are quiet about it.

  9. Positive thinking on The Problem With Positive Thinking · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Positive thinking .... I always knew it would never work

  10. Re:I thought this only happend in america on Shooting At Canadian Parliament · · Score: 1

    This sort of thing happens in Europe all the time. And Europeans want more of it. They love Muslim immigration. Anybody who is critical of Islam, or immigration, is called a hater by the overload of PC mush-heads in Europe.

    To true - to the extent they tell rape victims to go away because to prosecute one of the many Muslim rape gangs would be islamaphobic.

  11. Muzzies again on Shooting At Canadian Parliament · · Score: 3, Insightful

    When will people realise that Islam isn't the religion of peace? I suppose one good thing to come out of this is that next time people suggest that we appease the Muslims, that maybe if we just let them take more sex slaves and kill more non-muslims they'd leave us alone we can point out that even a moderate country like Canada is targeted by Muslims

  12. The downside is on Microsoft Gearing Up To Release a Smartwatch of Its Own · · Score: 4, Funny

    Its only compatible with Microsoft time, requires network access for a license check before you can set or change any functions, and won't be supported in 7 years time.

  13. Re:Good job, India! on India Successfully Launches Region-Specific Navigation Satellite · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The thing is that other countries are likely to continue to appease the Muslims as usual - as the article says even though Pakistan illegally invaded parts of India the US would not allow the Indian army access to the GPS. The only surprise is that India weren't declared Islamophobic for defending themselves, as happens elsewhere in the world.

  14. Re:lol on Netflix Video Speed On FiOS Doubles After Netflix-Verizon Deal · · Score: 1

    ... these interconnect prices are virtually free on the scale Verizon and Netflix are working at.

    Where can I get one!

  15. Re:Automating Management on Outsourced Tech Jobs Are Increasingly Being Automated · · Score: 1

    I'm all for automating management with decision makers powered by random number generators. It'll be more honest and more likely to come up with the right decision.

    You can say that again! Half the decisions of our board are vanity projects, and most of the rest are questionable

  16. That will work... on Eric Schmidt: Anxiety Over US Spying Will "Break the Internet" · · Score: 1

    servers with different sets of data for users from different countries multiplying across the world.

    That will work, because we can all trust our own countries not to have bilateral sharing agreements with the US, and the US not to have illicit access to data stored in other countries. Can't we?

  17. Re:I usually beat the manufacturers numbers. on Fuel Efficiency Numbers Overstate MPG More For Cars With Small Engines · · Score: 1

    I'm usually getting a 10% better fuel economy than what's stated by the manufacturer.

    Maybe the people complaining about the numbers should try driving more efficiently?

    Driving style makes a lot of difference, but so does the type of journey. My wife only gets 20 odd mpg - but that's because she always drives with a cold engine (kids to school and an occasional shop). It doesn't matter too much on her 3,000 miles a year anyway but it illustrates the point

  18. And I predict on Europol Predicts First Online Murder By End of This Year · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    That the perpetrator will be a Muslim. (mod me down all you like - I will be saying "I told you so" again)

  19. Re:3 million comments from 300 million citizens on Why the FCC Will Probably Ignore the Public On Network Neutrality · · Score: 1

    That means about 1% of the public thought it was worth commenting on. That's not enough to make a lot of waves unless that 1% is planning to make a lot of campaign donations or something.

    Or if they are fucking nutters. This is larger than the percentage of Muslims in the USA but look at all the concessions they get.

  22. Re:Texas, land of the derp. on After Dallas Ebola Diagnosis, CDC Raises Estimate of Patient's Possible Contacts · · Score: 0

    If any states residents contracted ebola, Id not be surprised if they were from Texas. We're talking about a state that thinks life begins at conception and rainfall will occur if you just pray for it. Its a wild, magical place where homosexuality can be cured but global warming is a hoax. A fantastic wonderland where Texas legislator Jodie Laubenberg thinks rape kits cause abortions and most residents think the president is a secret kenyan. at the end of the day in texas the miracle of life is no more complex than creation science saddleback rides on dinosaurs.

    Lets just hope they don't try and cure it by the "laying on of hands".

  23. Re:Kinda torn on this one on After Dallas Ebola Diagnosis, CDC Raises Estimate of Patient's Possible Contacts · · Score: 4, Interesting

    ... The 'cures' being worked are anti-retrovirals that inhibit the viral replication,.

    Your spot on except its plain anti-virals; ebola is not a retrovirus
