Comment More Nonsense (Score 1) 141

1. Who will register with Nominet after this? it is not like there is a shortage, this is just another MBA empty suite, and hat!

2. If they do this to you sue them at the same time as the Police and CPS.

3. There will be NO examples, as getting an expartite injunction with evidence would take an afternoon, but in the UK you must post a bond for damages

Comment Re:Satellites? Dishes Warlords (Score 1) 351

OMG, all this is so, so funny. The ISI (the Pakistani CIA) are finding Al Quada cadre , that they want as bargining chips Helfired, surprise surprise, they don't like it one bit, so they found an effeminate hacker and tortured him, he said "its the VPNs"

An ISI cyber General said shut the VPNs, everyone saluted and said "Yes, Sir", sounds just like the US CyberCommand?

Comment Re:Hitting the Debt Limit doesn't mean Default (Score 1) 932

First Madame Lagrande should STFU, she is not American and this is NOT a IMF issue it is a US domestic political one.

Second, she is factually wrong, the market is not a suicide pact.

Third Bhoener is the architypal RINO and the GOP needs to be rid of him as soon as possible, while his sort is in Washington NOTHING will get done.

Comment Programming -v- CS (Score 1) 606

Having taught CS at a British University, a Real one, for 25 years I make these points:

- You can not teach people how to program, to misquote Yoda, They can, or they can NOT, there is NO TEACH.

- 2 to 5 % can program, they teach themselves and it takes 6 monthe to 2 years elapsed, that is because ideas, experience and knowledge take time to mature and set, same in all the creative arts.

- Computer Science is not about programming, it is Applied Mathematics.

- Computer Engineering is, and hardware + software, it is properly a PG engineering discipline.

Comment Bundesrätin Doris Leuthard (Score 2) 470

Bundesrätin Doris Leuthard has no power above and beyond her six colleagues to make this decision, as you might expect this will be a very carefully considered decision and is unlikey to hold, unless other credible energy sources are found. Shale gas is unlikely due tho the Geology.

Hydroelectric, geothermal and new nuclear (Thorium) are in the mix.

The Swiss, unlike the Germans are not known for emotionalism, lack of planning or economic suicide.

The unofficial national motto is "Do it right the first time".

Comment Precautionary Principle, Watermellons (Score 1) 271

This report is a crock-of-shit with not one fact or real study in it, and is another example of political elites writing 20 pages where one would do. It is essentially incomprehensible BS.

As with all good Enviromentalist reasoning it uses the Precautionary Principle to justify the proposed ban.

It is controlling socialist nonsense, just like AGW, and just like fracking complex nonsense to frighten the sheeple.

Comment Re:The reason it crashed too? --- Ring Vortex Effe (Score 0) 484

If this explanation is correct, and I am now 99% skeptical of anything comming from the Obama Administration, this means they were using rookie pilots who did not understand the Ring Vortex Effect or the Dead Man's Curve.

You stay out of the Dead Man's zone by reducing translational velocity only with height. Each helicopter has its own curve, which also depends on air temperature density and humidity. You NEVER descend directly into your own rotor down wash, and if you do you do it very very carefully since it is the easiest known way to loose lift and crash out, especially loaded in warm thin dry air.

Comment US Identity (Score 2) 260

There are just two things:

(1) This does not solve the problem, only multi-lateral web of trust does that, ie PGP or X509 keys signed by your counterparties

(2) Obummer's Administration will get it all wrong so (a) we have many more years of scams (b) it will provide endless opportunity for DHS, TSA, CIA and FBI to act ultra-vires and outside the constitution.

Google "Swiss Sign" to see how to it right, respecting citizens privacy
