  1. Re:Nice on Edward Snowden Nominated For Nobel Peace Prize · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Oh please, you just sound like a retard who knows nothing outside of the US when making statements like that. And the focus on "race" is also a typical US thing. What about a female president or a gay one or even an atheist one?

    Belgium has a gay prime minister who is the son of two Italian immigrants.
    Germany has a female chancellor.
    Great Britain had a female prime minister decades ago.
    I can't count the number of countries that have atheist prime ministers/presidents.

    There a dozens of other examples if you care to search for them. None of which make those leaders eligible for a Nobel Peace prize.

    Yeah but the US president deserves a nobel peace prize just because he's black? What an achievement!

    USA! USA! USA!

    I feel exactly the same about Scheme. Haven't done a lot in it for production use, but learning it has definitely made me a better programmer!

  9. Re:I have the kiss of death for awesome technology on Motorola To Buy PDA-Inventor Psion For $200 Million · · Score: 1

    I would still pay good money for an up to date pda with a psion 5 series form factor. I loved the shape when closed (could slide into a pocket easily), and the ergonomy of the keyboard.

  10. Re:I don't want a combination fridge/TV set on IKEA Announces Furniture With Integrated TV, Speakers, and Blu-ray · · Score: 1

    Hey, I'd love a TV / microwave combo! It would take up about the space of an old CRT, so it would be "compatible" with my old furniture!

    Coming to think of it. A TV / mini-fridge combo would be awesome too.

    Does anyone know if someone makes those?

    I have seen setups where the dongle contains a processor and code (quite a library actually) - the software then calls this dongle to perform certain critical calculations. Quite hard to hack if the algorithm is unknown...

  14. Re:Why does Apple/iPad get so much attention? on What the iPad 3 Looks Like · · Score: 1

    and even when the iPad came out, most of the "experts" on slashdot and pundits elsewhere predicted it to be a huge failure.

    Other free societies don't seem to have this problem.

  16. Re:Damn that's stupid on US Sentinel Drone Fooled Into Landing With GPS Spoofing · · Score: 1

    Yes, the problem is that you need to integrate this measured acceleration TWICE (once to get speed, second time to get location) and this is a ridiculously error prone (well the process of integrating in itself is simple enough, the problem lies in the accumulation of errors) in any kind of real world system.
