  1. there is an old russian joke... on Earth Sandwich · · Score: 4, Informative

    ... which can be (more or less) translated like this:

    an elephant steps onto a slice of bread, puts a slice of bread on his back, looks in the mirror and sais:
    - gosh, that's one big sandwitch!

  2. plasma pong on 5 Gorgeous 2D Games · · Score: 1

    fun and stunning graphics:

  3. Re:Not very funny. on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 1

    wtf ? in every other case he would be rebutted, his errors corrected.

    not really. 283 austrian criminal law code

    (1) Wer öffentlich auf eine Weise, die geeignet ist, die öffentliche Ordnung zu gefährden, zu einer feindseligen Handlung gegen eine im Inland bestehende Kirche oder Religionsgesellschaft oder gegen eine durch ihre Zugehörigkeit zu einer solchen Kirche oder Religionsgesellschaft, zu einer Rasse, zu einem Volk, einem Volksstamm oder einem Staat bestimmte Gruppe auffordert oder aufreizt, ist mit Freiheitsstrafe bis zu einem Jahr zu bestrafen.
    (2) Ebenso ist zu bestrafen, wer öffentlich gegen eine der im Abs. 1 bezeichneten Gruppen hetzt oder sie in einer die Menschenwürde verletzenden Weise beschimpft oder verächtlich zu machen sucht.


    it is more or less comparable to the u.s. american hate crime laws. so, in any other case irving would be tried and sentenced to a couple of years in prison.
    rebuttal and correction is what i am doing here.

    from the interview : "We are saying that if the Holocaust occurred, then Europe must draw the consequences and that it is not Palestine that should pay the price for it."
    wtf are they doing there anyway? palestinians are just arabs from jordania and syria. so why all the arab leader, making big speeches, don't welcome palestinians? the answer is, that noone wants those radicalists in their countries. but they can be instrumentalized just fine.
    anyway, read some of the speeches that iran pal made.

    he is asking a lot of very good questions that spiegel just ignores or tries to walk around - "But the question is: Why among these 60 million victims are only the Jews the center of attention?"

    also, try reading that part about "collective shame".


    well, first, not only the jews are the center of attention, second, can you spot the difference between war casualties and industrialized eradication of a special populace.

    i suggest we dig out every murder, every war in history and try to find a group of people living here, now, and make them responsible for that.

    nicht alles was hinkt ist ein vergleich (a comparison is not the only thing that can be lame). second world war is not too long ago. many of participants are still alive

    russia has deported, killed and tortured a _lot_ of people during soviet regime. somehow they are not so important as that one particular group.

    again, bad comparison. as in nazi germany most executions in soviet russia were painstakingly documented. about 4 millions alltogether died in the ussr, most of them indirectly. also, soviet executives weren't after a particular group of people. the repressions were quite unspecific.

  4. Re:Now there is a porn video I'd watch... on The Pornographers vs. The Pirates · · Score: 1

    plastic tits and quite boring but the hd-wmv version is cool and shows what future is possible (imagine zooming in to interesting parts)

  5. Re:Not very funny. on French PM Unreceptive To RMS · · Score: 1

    researching history has not been prohibited.

    as spiegel said: Mr. President, with all due respect, the Holocaust occurred, there were concentration camps, there are dossiers on the extermination of the Jews, there has been a great deal of research, and there is neither the slightest doubt about the Holocaust nor about the fact - we greatly regret this - that the Germans are responsible for it

    it was researched, holocaust could not be denied. end of the story. it is not a matter of an opinion, it is a matter of fact.
    under the german law free speech is protected, but lies are not. saying that holocaust hadn't happened is a lie and thus not protected by german constitution.

    anyway, that pal from iran tells a lot of bullshit - on the one hand he sais that holocaust happened and thus israel should be in europe, on the other hand he denies holocaust.

  6. Re:I've said it before on Dvorak Admits To Trolling Mac Users · · Score: 1
  7. Re:Half-Life 2...great story? on Review of Episodic Content, Half-Life 2 Episode One · · Score: 1

    definitely not the only one. the story was boring. expecially after i have played deus ex.

    btw hi to another pink floyd fan ;-)

  8. Re:Stock on Sun to Cut 5000 Jobs · · Score: 1

    why doesn't sun fire all the workers? this should raise the stock infinitely.

  9. Re:I'm the Opposite on Consumers Look For More Utilitarian Cellphones · · Score: 1

    except of fm radio here you are

  10. Re: not only NOT a lost sale, but on BSA Claims 35% of Software is Pirated · · Score: 1

    amen to that. using paint shop pro since 2.x, back then only for converting images. psp7 is much faster and easier to use than photoshop of any version and you can do basically the same stuff.

  11. Re:Delicious on Cancer Resistant Mouse Provides Possible Cure · · Score: 1

    i'd rather take three sticks instead of a carton of cigarettes

  12. not archaic on Managing a Huge Music Collection? · · Score: 1

    my collection has some 20000 songs, still i use directories.

    root music directory, then subdirs like rock, soundtracks, synth, relaxing, fun, strange shit and unsorted.
    then each of these subdirs has subdirs itself - artist names. each artist has subdirs - album names.

    very easy actually. i browse the subdirs with total/midnight/norton commander anyway.

  13. Re:Lawyers on One Second Ads Hoping To Grab Your Eyes · · Score: 1

    good point
    maybe one should associate phone numbers with bra sizes to memorize them better.

  14. Re:Because we all know other nations on U.S. Considers Anti-Satellite Laser · · Score: 1

    soviets had anti-satellite lasers already in the seventies.

  15. shouldn't be a problem. on EU Proposing Mandatory Battery Recycling · · Score: 2, Insightful

    The EU directive WEEE (2002/96/EC) is about recycling of electric and electronic waste. In Germany it was implemented as the ElektroG law. So, since 24. march 2006 no electric and electronic devices may be thrown away into normal trash. These devices have to be disposed in a special way and then recycled.

    As the disposal has to be free of cost for private households (also free of cost for businesses if the devices were made after august 2005 AFAIR)

  16. Re:But I play bass on Your Song Featured in Guitar Hero II · · Score: 1

    then just don't use the b and small e strings of the guitar ;-)

  17. Re:Livelihood on Google Staff MD on Carpal Tunnel & RSI · · Score: 1

    you are playing bass - it helps to strenghten your hands. i used to have really bad rsi, but after i have switched to a natural keyboard and started playing guitar it really got better.

    try studio monitors.
    they sound better than hifi speakers

  19. Re:OMG Think of the Children!!!! on US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography · · Score: 1

    oh he was a puppet, because part of these big businesses wanted a war. hitler provided that war to them.

    btw you probably will laugh now, but i was born in the ussr. and solzhenicyn has written lot of shit in his books.
    anyway, replace "gulag" with "concentration camp" and there you are.

  20. Re:OMG Think of the Children!!!! on US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography · · Score: 1

    yes, he was. he was funded by the big business - thyssen (fritz thyssen even wrote a book "i paid hitler"), krupp (the krupp family even got their own special law for that, lex krupp), henry ford, friedrich flick (the richest german in 1944), ig farben (an enormous conglomerate of chemical concerns, producer of zyklon b) and many more.

    and if you are going to be a power mad and corrupt at some time of your life, rather try to copy brezhnev, just for the sake of your people ;-)

    he was ok for a corrupt dictator

  21. Re:OMG Think of the Children!!!! on US Intensifies Fight Against Child Pornography · · Score: 1

    nope because stalin wasn't a puppet of big business.

    so what?

  23. Re:Uhhhh.... on Dell Protests 'Not Wintel's Lapdog' · · Score: 1

    frets, strings... the answer to this riddle is "guitar", right?

  24. Re:From a Guitar player... on Software for Your Musical Instruments? · · Score: 1

    no, you got it wrong.

    it is a difference between e on the 6th string, open or e on the 5th string, 5th fret.
    it sounds different and there is a difference of the frets you can reach easily from that position.

    this is what tabs are for.

    anyway, as i also mentioned you need recognizing pitch for guitar playing.
    think of "bend the tone 3 semitones up and then two semitones down" on two different stringed guitars.

    guitar playing is not 5 basic chords you know.

  25. Re:Accuracy on GPS for the Windows Mobile 5? · · Score: 1

    actually they are often better (nicer, faster and easier to update) than most navigation systems which are built into cars.

    the only disadvantage is the lack of a gyro and a speedometer impulse connector so the software cannot estimate the current position when the gps signal isn't available for some time.
