Comment Re:As far as I'm concerned, Pluto is still a plane (Score 1) 77

Well, easy solution, we find two crappy-ass Kuiperbelt objects and name them Yahveh and Jesus.
A few months later there will surely be some silly Disney character (a roach or a siphilitic duck for instance) called Jesus and Yahveh and this will be the end of Christianity (and Islam as they have the same Yahveh guy as God).

Never fails!

Or, the most common approach used by document writeres: One monitor in landscape and a second monitor in portrait, with the desktop in the landscape one and the document being displayed in the protrait monitor. Works very nicely for me.
Nowadays most desktop environments use dual screens anyway.

Nice and interesting info about why monitors are landscape. I was jsut asking myself the same ;)

Mine was kind enough to accept my fist in his belly... well, there was a second one who got a boot in his balls. Lession learned: Never try to bully a guy you don't know in the middle of the winter when everybody wears boots.

Message for wanabee bullys: When a new guy comes to school, first ensure he is bully-able and at least half your size XD

You are wrong.

it does not cost "more" as there is no alternative private initiative that could take over this task except if they were subcontractors of hte government... as it actually is the case.

I assume that you are familiar with the Netherlands. I will thus ask you to recall why our whole elderly care (1) is a mess because of the attempt of privatizing a sector where there is no profit to be made and that is therefore not attracting any private companies and create competition (well, that and the budget abuses and bonus scandals among the higher management). And of course the obsession of our dear government to resolve any problem cutting on the budget.

I love how neo-libs and "Libertarians" are always lecturing the rest of the world about the market forces and the law of offer and demand while they happily ignore it themselves. But of course, they are supersmart because they can spell "entrepreneurs"...

(1) sorry, ik heb geen betere vertaling voor ouderenzorg kunnen vinden.

Hey mate, good news! IN Europe we have a thing called Trains, they ride in thing that looks like a huge ladder lying on the ground but made of steel. And these marvellous trains can get a large number of people across many kilometres for working. But that's not all, we also have a thing called busses, it's like a huge hummer but instead of an asoclal redneck teabagger or an also asocial gangstah what it has inside is a lot of people who use them to go to work. Amazing isn't it?

BUT if your roads break you will probably be end up paying more for them either because your vehicles will need more maintenance, because they will privatize highway and you will have to pay toll on them or tax you in any other way.
I know you USians are alergic to taxes for religious reasons, that's why here in Europe we don't make such a big deal as we are majorly agnostic we can just pull out the good old calculator and compare what would cost us stuff it it weren't for taxes... Like for instance dams and dykes in my country... if it weren't for our taxes we would have to spend quite a lot of cash in submarines and scuba suites waiting for the private enterprise to come to raise polders out of the sea floor.

Mates... can somebody please explain this to me: The article is about bitcoins, chips and hands... how in hell's name did it end up in a discussion about manly bodily fluids and ways of producing them ?

This world is a sick place, mates, sick as fuck.
