Where's your proof that he isn't ? Also: http://news.ycombinator.org/item?id=1917913 Shouldn't you go demand more "proof" from him too, or is it just easier to pile on the heavily downvoted guy? It shouldn't be too hard to see this is al

And Reiser's case proves that Assange is a rapist, no doubt?

by gizmomagico 16y ago
Gizmomagico seemed to be saying 'assange wouldn't have committed what he allegedly did; as it would retard his ability to move freely and he is too smart for that' The idea was just to point out the ridiculousness of the bullshit politica

What allegations?

You are showing no evidence that you heard what I said. This has nothing to do with my nationality, and a lot to do with this site's conventions. pg has worked really hard to keep news.yc from going down in flames, the way every other disc

I can see why you're being downvoted though..

Yes, rape is terrible, and judging by your reaction, you're probably American. Was that a racist slur or just an observation? Would it also be terrible to be falsely accused of rape, in an internationally public manner? The problem here is

Yeah I bet Assange feels like he's been able to move way too freely until now, so he decided to start raping women! He'll probably tour all Western countries, and rape a couple of women in each to make things a little more exciting. Edit:

Google has been giving up people's contact information (without their consent) from GMail to Facebook for a long time. It's safe to assume Google has been getting something in return all along, but now something's changed, and they decide

And Google won't be keeping a copy of anything you export or "move" out, right? I'm not terribly interested in a chance to "get out" my data from services that will keep my data anyway. They also did give Facebook my GMail contacts, which I

by gizmomagico 16y ago
This is such bullshit. A service that won't let me "get my contact information out"? Nice way to frame this in terms of "openness" too, apparently riding "open" for all it's worth with Android is not enough. Can I just "get out" all of my p

In software? What data would it run on? Software doesn't do anything without data. You say it like our personal information is the only data in town. Of course, any app needs data, but it can be anything .

Wouldn't it be possible to make a startup that wasn't based on covertly collecting little worker ants' personal information? I'd like to see something else for a change.

"How effective do these measures have to be to be worth the tradeoff?" More effective than "security theater".

Just make sure you actually spell it out.

Why the cringing then, if you agreed? Edit: OK, maybe you confused me twice, first by seemingly cringing at me, and then by talking about "mixed" whiskey. I guess you may have meant that the post I was replying to made you cringe.

If you've only tried "fine oak" Macallan, you should try the sherry cask versions too.

Alright, cool :) Try this : http://www.forpeatsake.com/Ardbeg/Ardbeg+Airigh+Nam+Beist/1

Have you tried the 18yo sherry cask Macallan? I bet it's better than JW Gold :)

by gizmomagico 16y ago
Mixed? I'm not sure what you're talking about. But the guy above was talking about drinking single malt scotch on the rocks. It's not the temperature. Single malt is enjoyed because of its taste and character, but if it gets mixed with en

You don't put ice in single malt scotch.. a few drops of water is fine, according to your personal preferences, but no ice.

by gizmomagico 16y ago
"McCallan"? I hope you mean www.themacallan.com, but probably not. Drop JW, Grouse, JB, Chivas etc, and start investigating single malt scotch. It's a whole new world. Try Macallan, Ardbeg, Bowmore.

Bad IT also let them create these derivatives and have no idea how much risk was actually in them, hell, how much money was in them. You sound like you think the bullshit derivatives etc were an accident? As if the people slicing & di
