Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
Assuming it passes, would the bold part essentially just be a stern warning towards the separatists, as there aren't any Ukrainian forces in a position to do anything? What do you think the Ukrainian army should do besides negotiating? Swoop in and disturb the scene more than it already has been an...

Re: Malaysia Airlines 777 Crash (Europe)
Has Ukraine taken steps to secure the scene? The articles seem to mention that OSCE personnel are not being allowed to access the full scene by separatist militants. Are the Ukrainian armed forces not in a position to do anything? They can't. It's in the middle of the seperatist-controlled area, cl...

Re: Bill Nye lays into Creationists.
I'm in junior high in the Calgary Catholic School District. In RE, Creationism is presented as figurative story that shouldn't be taken literally, but the underlying belief is that God created the world. IIRC, this is the Vatican's official viewpoint.

Re: Gabe Newell: Windows 8 is a 'catastrophe' for PC biz
My two cents about resolution: I have a 21 inch LCD at 1080p. I sit about half a metre away from it, and the resolution is fine for me. Even at a quarter of a metre, the resolution is fine. The rMBP is, IMHO, overkill. As for mobile devices, I have an iTouch 4 and an HTC Raider. The Raider has a 4.5...

Re: Verizon wants 25% more money for 1000% less service
The city-only providers usually have dirt-cheap plans. Mobilicity had a $40 unlimited-fucking-everything plan IIRC.muse wrote:My boss swears by Virgin Mobile's unlimited data plan.

Re: Verizon wants 25% more money for 1000% less service
These plans looks horrible. In Canada, with Rogers Pay As You Go, I get unlimited texting, unlimited calling between 3PM-6PM and $0.25 per minute otherwise, and 100MB of data for $20, with an additional $0.25/MB over the limit. For $45, I get the same except with 500MB and $0.05/MB over the limit. (...

Re: Legend of Korra "Republic City + Leaf in the Wind" Talkb
So I watched the first two episodes, and they're pretty good. The show seems a tad more childish than AtlA, but still pretty good.

Re: Arizona tries to ban trolling
I think that if this passes, there will be a new sport on Reddit, 4chan, etc: insulting Arizonians as much as possible, just because they can't retaliate.

Re: Santorum declares War on Porn
Out of curiosity, if Santorum was elected, would it be likely that he'd turn the conflicts in the Middle-East into a Holy War of sorts? Doubtful. The wars in Iraq and Afghanistan are heavily unpopular right now and he's running a campaign based on jobs and economy. Banning porn is fairly unpopular ...

Re: Santorum declares War on Porn
I think that Santorum should get elected, just for the hilarity that would ensue. The international community probably wouldn't be affected too badly. Does the US have sort of vote-of-no-confidence system? Impeachment, but only if Congress really fuckin' hates 'em. True, but he wouldn't have much s...

True, but he wouldn't have much support from the parliament, so his power would be rather limited, wouldn't it?

Re: Wikipedia killed the Britannica
Coming from a teenager, I would much rather read a Wiki/online reference than a physical encyclopedia. I still get the National Geographic and a few other subscriptions (partly because the full-page pictures are nice), but the bulk of any research I do is online.
