  1. Re:Sounds awesome, on Web 2.0, Meet JavaScript 2.0 · · Score: 1

    To get Script debugging in IE v8 you need _MS Works installed, I think. With IE8 beta, you get some developer toolbar with some handy css debuggin, and an actual Javascript debugger.

    I would be more ashamed of tha fact that independendists in the west, like from Basque country, North Ireland, Chechenia and Palestine are ALWAYS terrorists, but as soon as it's in China and they're cute monks it's a crime against humanity. THAT is hipocrisy.

  4. Women don't need to manipulate seat... on Economic Analysis of Toilet Seat Position · · Score: 1

    I have never given it a second thought in my life when I had to lift up the toilet seat.
    Why do women have to make a problem out of putting it down?

    Consider a home only inhabitated by men; they would still have to switch the seat for when they shit or only pee.
    A home only inhabitated by women, on the other hand, would never ever have to manipulate the seat, as the always sit down.

    So I think it comes down to this:
    Men are accustomed to 'manipulating' the toilet seat since they learned how to use it, and confrontated with the 'problem', they don't mind switching it at all.
    Women don't wan't to close down the seat so they can pee beacause an ignorant man has selfishly lifted it up!

  5. Re:Lock Hacking on Germany Declares Hacking Tools Illegal · · Score: 1

    Hacking tools are more like guns: make them illegal and only the criminals will have them.
    Actually, guns are illegal in Germany and I'm sure that there are fewer criminals with guns per cop than in the USA.
    Problem with hacking tools still is, there's no police in the internet =)

    Yes. They are making sure that either way they don't loose.

    I currently play HL2 Deathmatch on DirectX 7 hardware. And I play in a clan.
    I wonder if they are gonna put DX10 up for XP, and if they're gonna drop older hardware support.

  9. Re:In Soviet Russia - not a troll on No Passport For Britons Refusing Mass Surveillance · · Score: 1

    Here in Spain you are as well obliged to carry it everywhere, and you can get a visit to the "precint" if you fail to do so.
    But still, Spain is one of the freest countries in the world to my belief. You can do what ever you want, as long as you don't mess someone else up. This is not the case neither in the US, UK or Germany for example.

    So, having an obligatory national ID does not, in any way, restrict your freedoms.
    What does is spying, and trying to prevent crimes by being suspicious of every person i.e. guilty until proven innocent. The govt. is here because we sort of elected them, not the other way, we're not here because the govt. allows us to.

    greeting from Spain!

  16. Re:I'll let you into a secret about Britain on How Can We Convert the US to the Metric System? · · Score: 1

    ...it is both shorter and harder for a bartender to misunderstand. I can tell you that no bartender has *any* problems understanding petitions of drinks in the metric world. See, pints and shots may become, glasses/cups and, well, the translation for shots. Here in Spain (that's Europe, not SA) we call it copas and chupitos. You can get a "fifth" or a "third" referring to a 20ml or 33ml beer bottle, but what's actually in your head is not the mililiters but the size of the beer.

    ...a kilogram of apples is a bit much for most families Well then you just buy half a kilo, or 2 apples or whatever. My grandma used to get "300 grams of ham" at the butcher, no deal.

    most people even order Coca-cola in "cans" rather than caring that there are 330mls in a can 3 cans of coke make a liter, so I think of it as a third of a liter, if I ever have to. I had to figure the amount coke cans add up maybe once or twice in my life.

    I suppose you're just trolling; this whole argument about which system is better is silly because none is *perfect* for everyday use, it just really matters for engineers. All I know is that everyday my measures make sense, and that that doesn't really matter, but it sometimes does, it's just nice. And I *don't* have any problems with it, as you suggest.
    The real question should be if it is worth (the cost) to switch or not.

  19. Re:Only half of the point... on Detecting Tailgaters With Lasers · · Score: 1

    Here in Spain you can legally go over the speed limit by 10 or 20 Km/h (I cant remember which) to overtake someone. That means if the limit is 120 you can overtake someone at 140. Imagine the following situation: You're going throug a curvy road, and you want to take over the guy in front of you who is going below speed limit. You wait until you are allowed to overtake after the curves, but now he speeds up to the speed limit, and so on.

  21. Re:Eh hem, size matters. on Much Ado About Gas Prices · · Score: 0, Troll

    Here in Europe diesel cars are very common. They cost more, aren't as powerful as fuel engines, are in fact thermodynamically less efficient, they don't develope power over a certain rpm regime like good ol' gasoline cars do so nicely, they combust on high(er) pressure resulting in more vibrations and noise, but they consume less, so on the long run they're cheaper. I don't like them.
