  1. Re:Dutch on Discuss the US Presidential Election · · Score: 1

    If I'd wanted to refute your point, I would have done so.

    Instead I guessed at your nationality because Israelis are the only people I know who would draw the comparison between Americans struggling at their mythical dream and specifically-Palestinian suicide bombers. Turns out I'm wrong. Apparently at least one European exists who can see the Palestinian "resistance" against "Israeli imperialism" for what it is.

    Why keep X11? Why not, for example, implement an open-source server and clients for Quartz Compositor's protocols?

    You're Israeli, aren't you?

  4. Re:Continuity on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    At what point did we know The Doctor's real name?

  5. Re:Patrick Stewart on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    Actually I agree with you on Alec Newman. He's already had experience at playing a Time Lord!

  6. Re:Wasn't the 1st doctor on David Tennant Stands Down From "Doctor Who" · · Score: 1

    Actually I rather liked "Bad Wolf" and "Parting of the Ways". RTD's finales actually worked with the Eccleston Doctor.

    I can understand if you want to hold onto your tech, but I resent Israel being grouped with those tyrannical bastard countries.

  8. Re:You'll just have to buy your own. on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 1

    Well, I got to admit I laughed a ton when I realized that even 500 years into the future, after humanity has colonized outer space, we Jews still control the media.

    But I want an actual wife instead of a love-bot.

    Hell no. I don't want to be that annoying prat Mr. Universe.

  10. Re:Jail: "Just A Series of Bars" on Ted "A Series of Tubes" Stevens Found Guilty · · Score: 1

    Actually, there are more heinous crimes. Like mass murder, rape, and genocide.

  11. Re:Birth rate on Fictional Town "Eureka" To Become Real? · · Score: 1

    That being said, I'd wager that you - yes you reading this now - are on the spectrum somewhere.

    Actually, no. I have a completely separate genetic issue: a total inefficiency at processing complicated visual stimuli. I score in the 2nd percentile on the visual component of an IQ test (ie: solving visual puzzles). It results in a dismal inability to read faces, which manifests as Aspergers-like social ineptness unless I can use my (absolutely superb) hearing to figure out what's meant.

    The difference is that once I can process something (including people) via audio, I figure it out immediately and intuitively.

    Apparently this is an extreme case of a fairly common genetic quirk in Jews.

    "Ubuntu" -- an African word meaning "I only just found out that Gentoo has moved KDE 4.1 into the stable Portage tree, and will upgrade soon".

    Agreed. I'm getting my university degree and getting the fuck out. There's a place for me, and it's not here.

  16. Re:Rich PPL on Bill Gates Founds New "Think Tank" Company · · Score: 0, Flamebait

    No, I'm fairly sure Steve Jobs isn't Palestinian.

  17. Re:UFO != alien apacecraft on UK UFO Sightings Declassified, Still No Intergalactic Relations · · Score: 1

    No. Not parallel evolution. Different planets are, well... different. And there's really no saying that humanity exists in the optimum shape for our environment or prehistoric natural habitat. Evolution doesn't select for "The Fittest", it selects for "The Good Enough". The fact that the first creatures to evolve Good Enough intelligence with Good Enough prehensile limbs to create civilization and tame their environment were bipeds is very probably a coincidence.

    Who knows what will happen to important sea-life species if we go spreading reflective dust in the oceans?

  25. Re:OS/2 and VMS do on Ext4 Advances As Interim Step To Btrfs · · Score: 1

    OK, no modern operating systems for modern processors use more than 2 rings. When was the last time OS/2 or VMS made a new release?

    Though I'll give you that VMS has a lot of stuff that Unix simply can't ever have because Unix was designed off an entirely different basis.
