  1. Re:And when the arm has to come off... on How Norway Fought Staph Infections · · Score: 1

    So the doctor saw no reason to clean the wound either?

    How nice it is to live in an evil socialist country with evil socialist medicine where your doctor fills out a standardized form that says you're sick and entitled to sick pay.

    Sounds nice.

    Ask your doctor if resistant bacteria proliferation is right for YOU.

  4. Re:So let's change the algorithm. on Gravatars Can Leak Users' Email Addresses · · Score: 1

    It's useless against bots specifically created to line up the user name with the Gravatar hash. That bot will only work on Stackoverflow.

    If all you have is the hash, then bots would be pretty useless.

    If you're willing to spend some money for easy client deployment, you could have a look at co-pilot. They have monthly plans for $24/user, or $0.25/minute if you don't want the whole shebang.

  10. Re:icing on the cake: on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    Well, I agree that a parody incorporating rape is in bad taste. It would perhaps have been better if they asked why he did not deny rumours of public nudity, or something really silly, like having sexual desires towards turtles.

    I'm not an American, and not that familiar with Glenn Beck. So, I did a quick youtube search, and found http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i50NmDI5bK4 as the first non-parody hit - here he shows footage of a democrat explaining why he thinks you need a policy shift. Then mr. Beck states, with no further explanation, that if politicians were not corrupt, the change would not be needed. Seems like a leap of faith, at the very least.

    Also, I know several right-wing politicians in favour of variable tax rates based on income, and I don't think they'd like being called marxists. I'm not sure Marx would be happy with the equal sign either, but that's a different story altogether.

  11. Re:Why bother? on Glenn Beck Loses Dispute Over Parody Domain · · Score: 1

    My interpretation is that he thought communism was the right tactic to reach what he percieved as his goals - probably a more equal distribution of wealth or something. Then, he changed his mind, and now thinks he can reach those same goals through other means.

    Why on earth would communism be a goal in and of itself? I hope noone sees a free market as a goal in and of itself, but rather as the best known way to balance individual freedoms and societal growth and progress.

    Well if he lies when it suits him, maybe he lied when he said he was a communist? Duh.

    Making the same point that some douche makes, does not make you a douche. Respond to his logic, not to his affiliations. Douche.

    I'm guessing because of the double-speak and hipocrisy.

    I mean, if I pirate windows, I'm a terrorist. If MSFT pirates random GPL software, they should not get off easy. And they even make money off of it!

    Here in Norway, you don't have to pay interest if you're unemployed, and can put off the downpayments on the loan itself.
