Re: It's advertising Jim, but not as we know it.

In the end, the care-o-meter is at 0.

Iwakura Lain syndrome

Yeah, and it's not limited to females and high-schoolers either. University engineering courses have their share of the Retard Clan. I couldn't believe the blinkered attitudes (along the lines of "Why do you know anything about my area of specialization? You are not supposed to do that!"). What do these people do after they got their degree? They are done learning, become civil servants and grow a paunch. Then complain about Chinamen eating their lunch I guess.

Randian?

Orwell put a name of that, not Alissa Rosenbaum.

Orientalists creeping out of the woodwork, fellating President Bomborama

Here is a heads up

0) Iran is still in good standing regarding their nuclear ambitions and all the top brass, even the military and intelligence ones, say that serious action towards building nukes has stopped in 2003 and hasn't continued since then. The fact that politicians disagree is neither here nor there as these are sociopaths without morals who will kill anyone for a longer stint at their taxpayer-provided desk.

1) Iran is not contravening any international treaty whatsoever in running their centrifuges. Indeed, they are adhering to the NPT which certain other countries haven't even signed.

2) Iranian religious authorities consider building nukes as morally reprehensible and issued a fatwa along those lines. How serious can you get?

2) Attacking some country because one feels like it and because it can be done is generally followed by war crimes trials and ropes hanging from rafters, mmmokay?

3) Indeed even threatening it with the usual "options on the table" bull is right out as per the UN charter.

4) So is killing random people on the streets of Tehran by gun or sticky bomb.

5) Cyber-attacking is also a no-no. Remember our western geniuses saying "act of war" about that kind of retardation?

But they are PROGRESSIVE zombies. Which is, not the REGRESSIVE zombie kind from Haiti.

Well, high school is over for this summer, so you have to be forgiving.

Re: Charlie Stross has it right

Unfortunately... yes.

"They sent a slamhound on Turner's trail in New Delhi, slotted it to his pheromones and the color of his hair. It caught up with him on a street called Chandni Chauk and came scrambling for his rented BMW through a forest of bare brown legs and pedicab tires. Its core was a kilogram of recrystallized hexogene and flaked TNT."

Re: They should never have dumped PA-RISC

Back when Ashlee Vance was still writing and Andrew Orlowski had other concerns than to whiteknight "Intellectual Property Rights" faggotry, the following was said in

http://www.theregister.co.uk/2002/05/03/don_capellas_articulates_hpaqs_vision/

...Capellas mentioned "procurement" as often as navvies swear, and the chap obviously believes that this is the killer feature of the SRCAM merger.

"We've got to do this. We can't do microprocessor better than Intel," he added.

Well, we mused, you can't now, now that you've sold Alpha to Intel.

"Last week Capellas promised that Windows and Linux would "eviscerate" mid-range Unix. Taking no prisoners, the Don has decided to perform the task himself at the first opportunity."

As a reward for sacking some of the 15,000 staff who won't be needed in the merged HPaq, HP's top management will pocket $33.1 million in retention bonuses. Compaq's team will receive $22.4 million. The bonuses hinge on the successful completion of the merger.

Re: Its worse than that

Unfortunately "your image" has only large intrinsic value if it is already known to many, many people.

Remember the burnt vietnamese girl? Yes, that kind of image.

MegaCo may decide to give you 1 USD for your stuff. Or else redo it from scratch. Maybe on a computer. Point is, their "multi-billion pound campaign" is in no way dependent on your stuff and you won't get serious money one way or another.

Re: Wii-U

But you have two games with Ellen Page, so why complain?

Unfortunately The Last One of US is PS3 only. Bletch.

Re: Idiots

> a case where the government should outlaw the entire industry

I don't know what's worse: badly protected social networking sites or rampant state idolatry.

Re: This is the same UN

> charitable donation

I don't consider donations to corrupt organizations bluewashing the bombing of foreign lands as charitable at all.

I don't know what kind of state worshipper would downvote such a post, so I upvote.

Re: It's not pining!

It escaped into another dimension.

Re: wrong philosophy

PUT ON A3 PAPER AND FRAME!

D-Day? Don't remind me!

We have been more than 10 years in a kind of Amoral Neverending War Everywhere Against Everyone and are currently dumping ourselves down the loo because we borrowed ourselves to death a bit earlier (some would say that "we owe it to ourselves so there is no problem" ... ha ha ha).

Talking about high-falutin inanities like IPv6, are we?

Yes, Mr. Hilter. Do you want Sachertorte to be delivered to your Bunker?

Re: Nothing to see here.

"As for legality, the ARPANS Act specifically prohibits nuclear power plants."

A huge green snake bars the way!!

It's a sad statement of our times that there never are laws prohibiting government employees from entering their buildings in the morning.

Do the capacitors still hold?

The motherboard of my old Amiga was felled when a capacitor lost its electrolyte and transformed it into something out of STALKER.

Re: And they call the mafia criminals??????

> The speculation continues

Only deranged progressives care. It's called risky business.

Of course, here, it's fuelled by freshly generated money splurging out of banks, central and otherwise, so you may indirectly lose your shirt. Call your elected representative for complaints.
