    The most important function for citizens is to pay tax.

  2. Re:oh well on Boeing Teams To Offer Spaceflight Trips · · Score: 2, Funny

    Yeah but they won't stay rich very long if they keep doing it...

  3. Re:Um.. on Data Deduplication Comparative Review · · Score: 1

    I just bookmark the movies on movie2k and huku and play them when I want to watch them. That saves even more space.

  4. Re:Welcome to the First world on Microsoft Complaints Help Russian Gov't Pursue Political Opposition Groups · · Score: 1

    You mean *first* world: Itally was governed by the Mafia for decades. Their president (Agliotti) was the chief of the Mafia.

  5. Tar sands on German Military Braces For Peak Oil · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Bah, humbug. There are vast amounts of tar sands in Canada and Saudi Arabia and probably in a few other places...

    It is a problem for Germany though, since they refuse to build new nuclear power stations. For everybody else, it is not a problem aqnd I suppose France will be the next major exporter of energy - from their nuclear stations.

  6. Global warming is sooo late 20th century... on Scientists Cut Greenland Ice Loss Estimate By Half · · Score: 1

    It is time for the global cooling crowd to make a comeback and breathe some fresh air into the stale old climate debate.

    Totally. All my email since about 1998 is in a Citadel mail server. It uses the BerkeleyDB, which can handle 256 Terabytes of mail. That should be enough for any semi-sane person...

  8. They don't even have a government on UN Tech Group Finds Most Expensive Broadband · · Score: 1

    nevermind internet.

    Uhmm, plants don't need oxygen, they make it from CO2.

  12. Re:Lesser evil? on Blackberry Gives India Access To Servers · · Score: 0, Troll

    "RIM always claimed that enterprise mail is encrypted with a unique key end to end from the enterprise server to the device and that nobody else has this key" ...and you believed that?

  13. Zero moves... on Rubik's Cube Now Solvable in 20 Moves · · Score: 1

    Get a small titted girlfriend. They don't wear bras.

  14. Snakes on the plane... on Highly Directional Terahertz Laser Demonstrated · · Score: 1

  16. Big Brother Toys == Much Moolah on UK Switches Off £235M Child Database · · Score: 2, Insightful

    Big brother toys are expensive. That is our only saving grace. At some point the stuff breaks down and needs repair and consequently gets scrapped. Even if cameras are dirt cheap, the salaries of the people required to look at them are not cheap. So at some point a budget gets slashed, the toys gather dust and rust out.

    Sorry to pop your bubble, but there already is a Do What The Fuck You Want To license.

  21. PRE crime started long ago: Sedition on Reading Terrorists' Minds About Imminent Attack · · Score: 1

    A common pPre-crime activity is known as sedition. Go look it up.

  22. MIDI? on Broadway Musicians Replaced With Synthesizers · · Score: 1

    Sooooo, after 30 years, Broadway finally clued in to MIDI?

    I guess the USA is leading the world again. Follow me. I am right behind you.

  23. Re:Where is the study? Iraq, Afghanistan... on Fossil Fuel Subsidies Dwarf Support For Renewables · · Score: 1

    Add in the cost of the Iraq and Afghan wars and fossil fuel subsidies will dwarf anything.

  24. Bring back Slide Rules on TI Calculator DRM Defeated · · Score: 2

    WTF do kids needs graphing screens for in an exam anyway? They cannot submit the stupid graphs. So what is the point? An Abacus would work better.
