  1. Re:Another french revolution is needed. on French Legislation Would Block Tor and Restrict Free Wi-Fi (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Shouldn't they behead the actual politicians instead of their donkeys?

  2. Re:meanwhile soyuz ... on Cygnus Launches In First Mission Since Antares Rocket Explosion (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Not quite. It is the same family of launchers, but the actual Soyuz had its first flight in the late 1960ies, Gagarin went up in 1961. Not only the actual spacecraft was different, the rocket was different as well - a much more powerful third stage, different telemetry and control systems and so on.

  4. Re:Say what? on Air Asia Pilot Response Leads To Plane Crashing (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    Pulling a circuit breaker because some warning pisses the pilot off is not a reasonable action and has been a cause for several accidents.

    I have no problem with socialism. Just with Poland's attitude.

    Exploit the Poles and the Czech? In fact, Gorbachev let them go because they were a huge drain on the Soviet economy, just like they are now a huge drain on the EU economy - especially Poland, the largest receiver of EU subsidies by far and at the same time the most unpleasant and unwilling EU member. I wish they would get the fuck out the EU and pay back all the money they have received from us.

  7. And a dupe was washed ashore on slashdot on Parts of Falcon 9 Launcher Wash Ashore In England (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    How very unusual.

  8. The idea is not to get more of the populace taking those - that would be insane - the idea is to medicate people who have an actual depression.

    I take sertraline (just 25mg, that is half of the usual starting dosage) to medicate my double depression and so far it has been a great help. For the first time in two decades I feel even-tempered and more or less happy with my life. There are side effects, but it is absolutely worth it.

    The SSRIs probably aren't the cause for shootings, the underlying depression, which apparently wasn't successfully treated is far more likely the cause.

    Funny fact, I used to own firearms (for target shooting), but sold them years ago. Never had the urge to kill anybody but myself, though.

  9. Re:This is why ISIS wins on Turkey Downs Allegedly Intruding Russian Fighter Near Syria Border (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    It is ironic because Erdogan stated back then that a short incursion is not a reason for shooting down a military aircraft.

  10. Fuck the intelligence agencies, it is their fault on Ex-CIA Director Says Snowden Should Be 'Hanged' For Paris Attacks (thehill.com) · · Score: 2

    All of the terrorists involved were known. It was known that they have planned something and these bloody idiots still have failed to prevent the terrorist strikes. And now they blame it on Snowden of all people? Why don't they just do the job properly they are paid to do?

  11. Re:GM producers are shooting themselves in the foo on FDA Signs Off On Genetically Modified Salmon Without Labeling (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess you also would prefer for the accused to prove their innocence in the court instead of being not guilty until proven otherwise.

    Works fine here. Only OTC drugs are advertised.

    Actually it is good. Makes a war less likely.

    Yeah right, hardly barbarians. How do you explain the crusades against the Czech, Balts and Russians then?

  17. Stateless people get a 1954 convention travel document for a passport.

  18. Re: Sounds nicely balanced... on New Book Sold Out Offers a Look At the H-1B Debate · · Score: 1

    You fail at logic because your workers apparently both receive a one time payment instead of a salary and they only build one single car.

  19. Re:Civil War My Ass on The Dark Net Drug Market That Survived Ukraine's Civil War (dailydot.com) · · Score: 0

    It is, in fact, a civil war. This is one the reasons why there is still no martial law. One side of the civil war receives military aid from Russia but it is still a civil war.

    Don't take my word for granted, go there yourself, talk with their soldiers if you speak the language. I did.

    The weapons in question can only hit low flying airplanes. The aircraft in question climbed far higher than any MANPAD can reach.

    34 here, but I definitely don't have autism, just a dysthymia and the avoidant personality disorder which got much better after I have started taking SSRI.
    Some symptoms just overlap.

  22. Re:automotive herpes. on Volkswagen Emissions Issues Spread To Gasoline Cars (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    I used to work for an automotive component supplier. A component of the ECU was used for both Mercedes and BMW cars, but with a different firmware. Many parts are sourced from third parties in first place.

    Well, the point is that Windows 95 was released a year later when RAM prices were lowered. And it certainly ran faster on the same hardware, even though not nearly as stable.

  24. Re:OS/2 was great on The Return of OS/2 Warp Set For 2016 (techrepublic.com) · · Score: 1

    OS/2 Warp was, if anything, then a bit too early. It had steep hardware requirements (8 megabytes of RAM to run properly) when memory was very expensive.

  25. Re:Cost on Farmer Coalition Offers $250K Prize For Blueberry Picking Robot (robohub.org) · · Score: 4, Informative

    There are, in fact, several species of blueberries. The commercial cultivates in the USA and Europe are nowadays (unfortunately) the American high brush blueberries, but the European wild blueberry tastes far more intensive. They are small berries with violet flesh and red-violet juice and they will colour your tongue to the hue of the tongue of a Chow-Chow dog.
