  1. Re:beach erosion/movement on Dubai Is Building a Refrigerated Beach · · Score: 1

    Also, in a small country like Dubai, it's easy to both know and control who goes in and out, and how they do so.

    My understanding is that if you have a stamp from Israel in your passport, you cannot enter Dubai.

  4. Re:Missing history on King Tut Killed by a Knee Infection? · · Score: 1
    i did a little research and found this:

    We find in Caesar's Gallic Wars the first and fullest account of the Druids.

    All instruction was communicated orally, but for ordinary purposes, Caesar reports, the Gauls had a written language in which they used the Greek characters.

    No druidic documents have survived. "The principal point of their doctrine", says Caesar, "is that the soul does not die and that after death it passes from one body into another".

  25. script kiddies on CMP Acquires Black Hat · · Score: 1
    I much prefer the smaller conventions like RootFest or ToorCon, that don't have rooms of booths or tons of script kiddies running around.

    today's script kiddies are tomorrow's professionals.

    heaven forbid these "script kiddies" try to learn something from the pros by going to these conventions.

    get off your high horse
