Comment Re:$ or it didn't happen (Score 1) 184

Data from https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...
Finland 212 16
Canada 232 4

Finland and Norway has 4 times the population density. Sweden has even greater population density than Finland or Norway, Tim S.

an enormous country with a low population density and harsh weather requiring more expensive equipment,

Are you talking about Finland, Sweden or Norway? Because I thought all of three of those low-population with harsh weather countries had pretty cheap mobile service.

Comment Re:law prohibiting use of software?? (Score 1) 140

They banned the software on US government owned computers! Tim S.

did... did the United States *really* just pass a law prohibiting American Citizens from being at liberty to choose precisely which software they wish to purchase and run? that appears to me to be an extremely dangerous precedent, and an extremely fascist thing to do, like the Nazis did in the 1930s: burning "unapproved" books. it would not surprise me if this same thought occurs to Civil Rights supporters and a case is taken up, fairly soon.

Comment Re:Telecom shill Ajit Pai tells yet another NN lie (Score -1) 211

Yep, "truthiness" was a word I learned as result of Pres. Obama.

truthiness: the quality of seeming to be true according to one's intuition, opinion, or perception without regard to logic, factual evidence, or the like: the growing trend of truthiness as opposed to truth.

Republican too. "Data" is sinful and gets in the way of truthiness.

Comment Re:I've seen a UFO, and it demonstrated science (Score 1) 384

You did see an UFO for a short time; but, you later identified it.
I believe in UFOs; but, I have great doubts about flying alien spaceships are visiting planet Earth in secret.

UFO means the person seeing the flying object does not know what it is.

Tim S.

Same AC here. I left out an important point.

If I had not watched for as long, or if the lighting conditions were not right at the end (I was in a car at the time), I would have definitely thought I had seen UFOs and could easily have become a believer. I would not in a million years have believed anyone saying these were just a couple of birds had I not seen it in the end myself. Because of this, I can more easily understand those that think they've seen UFOs, especially back in the day when it was more forefront in our culture.

Still, a bit of online research now and a subscription to Skeptical Inquirer (scientific investigation into claims of the paranormal) should be able to help anyone who maintain such beliefs.

At a certain point, you just have to consider emigration to a more progressive and just society, and leave old aristocratic USA behind. There's a whole world out there.

I think you use "and" instead of the more correct "or". "At a certain point, you just have to consider emigration to a more progressive or just society ..." Tim S.

Comment Re:Australian parliament (Score 1) 176

Of course you can get elected to the Australian parliament; now, whether it would be valid, if challenged, is another question. Tim S.

Now if it isn't recognized officially could you still get elected to the parliament or would the federal court consider this dual citizenship as 300,000 people have declared themselves citizens of Asgardia
