  1. Re:Time for a change on Patent Troll Now Armed With Thousands of Nortel Patents · · Score: 5, Insightful

    Until Europe, India and China overtake the US.

  2. Re:Meanwhile, in California... on Patent Troll Now Armed With Thousands of Nortel Patents · · Score: 5, Funny

    But being a lawyer makes more money and you get to decide who you screw.

  3. Re:Americans have greater liberty on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 1

    Where I live now (in California), it even illegal for two 17 year olds to have sex. Yes it's only a misdemeanor but it's still illegal.

  4. Re:Americans have greater liberty on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 1

    So that leads you to the conclusion that Germans have fewer liberties than Americans? Thank you.

  5. Re:Americans have greater liberty on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 2

    How is the freedom to express one's ideas restricted in Germany?
    And by being free of religion I mean being able to say that I'm an atheist without being looked at askance, without religion dominating a large part of politics, etc.

  6. Re:Americans have greater liberty on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 1, Troll

    I have lived in both countries.
    There is more freedom in Germany than in the US of A. Like drinking beer in public, having sex at 14, saying "shit" in public, being naked in public, not getting sued for everything and anything, being free of religion.
    That "Land of the free" BS is part of your indoctrination.

    Yes!

    No, they mean gigawatt hours per hour.

    So multiplication is the same as division?
    Fail.

  10. Re:The Winter of our Disconnect on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 4, Interesting

    As opposed to US politics, there is a consensus in German politics. Namely that politics is for the benefit of the people and society. Business is a part of that society, not the other way around.

  11. Re:It's Just Gigawatts on Germany Sets New Solar Power Record · · Score: 0

    Yup. I refuse to read any article that starts with an obvious science fail. It can't be anything but a waste of time or, worse, misinformation.
    Not saying that the German solar program isn't a great story, but hard economic numbers are almost impossible to find.

    As though the primary purpose for men should be to provide money and genetic material for children.

    Duh? What else are men for in evolutionary terms?

    Yup. If the answer was Yes, the title would be "X!!!" not "X?"

    So you assume that everybody in psychology has major issues with every major theory in psychology?

    1. Set up a honeypot with a web front that calls for the recall of a politician you don't like
    2. Wait for it to be attacked by that politician
    3. Tell the FBI
    4. Lulz!

    Should've googled for "how to become an evil uber hacker".

    So that's why there was a Chrome update last night? That was quick.

    At least they don't say "cheap" or "low cost"at 70 bucks.

    The SpaceX people mentioned in the TV show before the aborted launch that they're looking into more launch facilities, especially in South Texas.

    Oh that sounds good. I'm waiting for a Pi...

  24. Re:What do you mean, "now" starting? on Programming — Now Starting In Elementary School · · Score: 2

    Modern CPUs are too complex to learn Assembly on them. I learned on an IMS6100, basically a single chip PDP-8. It had a RISC-y instruction set that you knew by heart within a week. Same thing a little later with the 6502. Even the 8086/8088 was tolerable. It started to get hairy with the 386. It's like C++: TIMTOWTDI and everybody uses a subset.
    I'd start learning on an emulated old 8-bitter, maybe a C64 emulator.

    So how much would MS charge for installing Linux? $199? Inquiring minds want to know.
