    America is at fault for the state of Latin America. You know, overthrowing governments, arming rebels, being a huge market for drugs.

    How you die is also important. If I die after adopting a breatharian diet, it's not cruel fate taking me before my time, it's me being stupid. Same goes for treating your cancer with energy crystals and tea.

  5. Re:Bullshit on Ask Slashdot: Is Beaming Down In Star Trek a Death Sentence? · · Score: 1

    Come again?

  6. What way would that be? Other than removing the vowels from the character set?

    The work is small. Just with a really low probability of success. This is why "mining" is usually done on GPUs, more tries more winnings.

    They would be if they'd step into the EU. That is why "The Hague Invasion Act" exists.

    Unlike in the EU where Junker was democratically.... Oh wait he was appointed.

    Appointed by whom ? By people chosen by the voters. Like the US elects the president.

  15. Re:So much better on Providing Addresses for 4 Billion People Using Three Words (mondaynote.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not numeric.

    Neither is UTM. The latitude bands have letters assigned, from C to X.

    You are aware that people in other countries use different symbols, aren't you? Only numbers are truly universal.

    Oh the irony. You do know that each major script used in India has its own numeral glyphs? Or the Arabic - Indic numerals have a few regional variations, most of them being nothing like the Arabic numerals you imagine?

    ARM?

  20. Re: Mickey Mouse copyirght extenstions... on "Happy Birthday" Public Domain After All? · · Score: 2

    You have that backwards. Exclusive right to a work is not a god given right, it's given by society as incentive to create something new. As such society limits it to something reasonable ( in theory ) so that new works can be created.

  21. Re:When do I get to be a multinational corp? on Google Rejects French Order For 'Right To Be Forgotten' · · Score: 2

    But somehow it's ok for a german user to go to google.de and have the results filtered due to the DMCA, a thing google does. ( http://i.imgur.com/VX9fy8n.png... )

    The US is closer to Russia than France to Canada ( Diomede islands, 3.9 km ). So what is the width for a body of water until 2 countries are no longer neighbours? Are the US and Cuba bordering one another?
