    > I am not him, in fat before you posted his name I was not aware of him.

    Heh, this makes me think that maybe I am on to something and that you are both one and the same, because given the amount the two of you post there's no way you can not be aware of him - it's a blatant lie on your behalf if you're suggesting you've never noticed his posts on the same topic the two of you so dearly post no matter how irrelevant to the discussion. Something to hide?

    I probably read him but did not note who he was, or that all the comments came from the same person.

    Oh don't rise to it. Him and SplashMyBandit are Slashdot's two resident far right fascists. They pepper every discussion with lies and views that would literally make Hitler proud (yes I just godwinned this thread) even if it's entirely irrelevant to the topic at hand.

    Interesting, I class myself as centre left and have had people accuse me of being too left wing on some issues.

    Given their posting styles I'm not even sure they're two separate people for what it's worth...

    I am not him, in fat before you posted his name I was not aware of him. I have read some of his posts and he does appear to have a good understanding of the the Muslim threat and the teachings of Islam, though I haven't seen his posts on other topics though

    Seriously, there are legal methods of tracking people, and privacy protections for a reason.

    Yes, it should be done legally

    We have lots of Muslims in the UK, a large number of whom say they would like to overthrow democracy and introduce Sharia law. Following them is a positively good idea.

  5. It will be an uphill struggle on Ubuntu Touch: The Other Linux OS For Your Phone · · Score: 2

    It will be an uphill struggle to get this accepted while the other free OS, Android, has such a head start. A few people who want to be sure that metrics are not sent to google will go for it. A few more who want non-JVM centric applications too (or the complex NDK) might too, but I think it will be a niche market

  9. In the UK we have been through this already on Biometric Database Plans Hidden In Immigration Bill · · Score: 4, Informative

    The Identity Cards Act 2006 mandated national ID cards. In October 2006, the Government declared it would cost £5.4bn to run the ID cards scheme for the next 10 years, and by November 2007 this estimate was revised to £5.612bn. The Identity Documents Act 2010 cancelled this with at least £256 million already spent.

    It is generally acknowledged that this scheme would not have delivered any increased security, as applications would be verified against passport and driving license databases that were already known to be inaccurate.

  10. Shrugs on Plug Into a Plant: a New Approach To Clean Energy Harvesting · · Score: 1

    Millions of years have evolution has resulted in plants being the most efficient harvesters of solar energy on the planet. Much research is underway into ways to artificially mimic photosynthesis in devices like artificial leaves, but researchers at the University of Georgia are working on a different approach that gives new meaning to the term 'power plant.' Their technology harvests energy generated through photosynthesis before the plants can make use of it

    Shrugs, throws another log on the fire!

  13. I have a chromebook on Real World Stats Show Chromebooks Are Struggling · · Score: 1
    I have a chromebook, and for me it is an excellent second machine. I quickly realised that:
    1. It is very good at what it does
    2. It doesn't do much

    For me what it does do is an excellent match for what I want from a portable device. I can write documents and emails (offline or online), browse, and produce content. I realise that many people will be more concerned with playing games and consuming content, and for them a tablet would be a better option.

    I am not surprised that it is not a "best seller", but for people who want to produce content and write on the road it is excellent.

    You're assuming that collecting sales tax is a large cost of doing business. It's not. It's just software.

    No I'm assuming that not paying sales tax will attract buyers.

  15. Re:Republicans control the house on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    There's no way Republicans will allow a tax increase if it affects millionaire bankers, and millionaire bankers are exactly the sort of people who buy a lot of stuff on the internet. So this will die in the house.

    Aren't they also exactly the sort of people who will buy it through some sort of tax-exempt holding company and therefore not pay it anyway?

  16. At $10 million companies would "outsource"... on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 4, Insightful

    to collect state sales tax to $10 million instead of $1 million per year.

    I predict that if the limit is raised to $10 million then companies will "outsource" sales to wholly owned subsidiaries. For example "Your order has been filled by Amazon West Houston INC"... which has sales below the threshold. At $1 million a year it would be debatable whether the large organisational overhead would be worthwhile for larger companies, but an $10 million it probably would be.

    That's what worries me. They don't just have to be foolproof they have to be Muslim-proof. Basically they have to either be completely automatic (select your destination) or not allow you to steer into buildings etc... which includes deliberate acts.
