Comment Worst Places (Score 2) 141

Basher has 55% popularity in Syria, his oppression of the other 45% is definitely wrong, however there are places like Bahrain where the rulers have only 30% support, they are killing doctors who happen to help peaceful protesters shot by shotguns at point blank range by the local enforcement. The difference is that Assad is supported by Iran and Bahrain is a western ally.

What bull shit, the mighty west comes screaming foul when one of those pissed and frustrated by their policies does something stupid.

I have read this bullshit before. India had a GDP of 1.73 trillion dollars last year, of this it spend 36 billion on R&D including this one. So you are saying its wrong to spend less than 2 cents of every dollar you make on protecting yourself. Not only that, this tech also is related to satellite launch market, which is quite lucrative. India also launches and makes money on that.

So don't buy your LED TV, smartphone, Laptop until you pay off your mortgage, that is wrong priorities by your logic. Furthermore, dare you get a gun or a security system in your house until your mortgage and debt are paid off.

What rubbish!

Ignorance is not really bliss...

Interestingly you are just as ignorant about Islam and Education as those adding poison to the schools water. Only difference is your ignorance is poisoning the society.

And how is he on the mark!

This is what Muhammed (pbuh) said about acquiring knowledge:

"To acquire knowledge is binding upon all Muslims, whether male or female. The ink of the scholar is more holy than the blood of the martyr."

If he is 11, get him lego mindstorm. Out of the box it comes with a UI that lets you do logic and control your lego creations. Once he gets the concepts of loops and ifs, wipe the firmware with community Java firmware (lejos) where he can write Java code to control his mindstorm bots.

By this time he would have bootstraped himself into programming and internet would be enough.

Care to explain how its ridiculous.

It may be an accepted norm for your society, but its not ridiculous.

If you say we also force men to show their hanging dicks and women to expose their breasts, then there is at least some totality to your argument, however segregating a group on hiding face vs hiding breasts shows why these laws are infringement to a groups religious freedoms. I see no harm come of a group deciding to hide their face as most hide their breasts and genitalia.

If you do have a reasonable explanation why forcing women to show their breast is wrong while forcing them to show their face is right, please do let me know as I have failed to come up with any reasonable logic.

What would be neat is if the virus mutates and becomes infectious like flu, one day we wake up and cancer is gone.

Though drug companies will make every effort so this is not the case. In fact, if during their research a scientist comes and says we cured cancer with this virus, but its also infectious and has no other side effects, his research will more than likely shut down.

More and more I read about MAFIAA, it really seems that they believe to have a successful business case for selling same movie to the same customer more than once. Once for your iPad, once for your iPhone, once for your TV1 and again for TV2, if they can get away with it. It seems they think it is logical that the user pays for right to view on every screen he owns.

IMO, its doomed to fail.

Most of these jammers can easily interfere 40 ft or more. There are cars around, they could be trying to call 911.

Police cars use cellular data connection all the time.

I use my phone GPS which is using a data connection too. I would break a guys head myself if he jams my cell phone while i am trying to navigate.

Where I live, one suburbs even has buses equipped with GPS enabled cellular data devices and you can track a bus while waiting on a bus stop.

I don't like people using cell phone either, but using a jammer is just as or more selfish than the person talking on the phone.

At the end of the day, get a car and pay for it if cell phones are annoying enough. Stay at home, don't go screwing around and justifying it.
