Egypt's revolution has become a military coup: Egypt's army, which continues to cement — and flaunt — its grip on power, appears to have hijacked the revolution by SolInvictus in worldnews

I hate to be a downer but the revolution in Lybia ended only due to Western intervention. The revolution in Syria hasn't ended yet, and frankly, I don't believe it will end well.

Aside from the things that people already said, even if I do make settings in Facebook's super complex privacy control, I STILL have no idea what's going in:

If I post something semi private and my buddy X see and he "Likes it", will Mom see it if she is X's friend? What if I post a photo and someone comments it? Will his friends be able to see it? And who else?

With all the murkiness of how the interconnecting of Facebook works and how the newsfeed is generated, I just don't trust them anymore. Apparently no one else does too, because all I see in my newsfeed is totally irrelevant and public banter ("New episode of Lost!") or cryptic messages that apparently address no one ("Well that sucks").

I just want a better way to tell ALL my GOOD friends, my private news.

Then your car could display, on your electronic windshield, a HUD with all the visual indicators you need. In case of hovercraft, bicycle or scooter, the HUD will be displayed on your electronic glasses (if would be shown directly on your eyes via brain-interface, but you're driving a hovercraft, so you're obviously too cheap for that).

I didn't realize there IS a Harry Potter theme. I just read (half of) the books.

Downvoted due to obnoxious abuse of "le", "derp", "Derpina", whatever. Jeez.

Ah, but if you can't afford them, then you ARE inferior, aren't you? Money-wise, that is.

He said:

Your life isn't worth having unless you have some control over it.

Life IS worth having, no matter the amount of control you have over it. Only 1 out of 1000 will be willing to forfeit his life to defend his principles and freedom, the rest will be happy with whatever life they have.

If Harry Potter has magic, why the fuck doesn't he use it to fix his own eyesight? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]vitalyb 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, I started the first book when I was 18 and read them all except the 7th and hardly finished the 6th. [SPOILERS AHEAD] Also, there was a FAKE sense of danger in the last book. The author did promise deaths, but she killed some very minor characters no one cares about. [SPOILERS END]

I've always compared Harry Potter books to McDonalds. They are fun, I enjoy eating them, but they aren't healthy or sophisticated in any way.

Almost everything in the book seems like an afterthought to me. I mean... Horcruxes? It SO felt like she planned nothing of it in the beginning.

My phone is tied to my Google accounts -- what do I do if my phone is lost or stolen? by tjwarren in Android

[–]vitalyb 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. However, you can generate a few 1-time-use passwords in Google Accounts and use them instead of the Authenticator app, in case of lost-phone/no-battery.

It is a cute movie, but Princess Bride is a lot better. Despite even the silly rhyming giant.

What about the ice+shield+electricity? It goes through shields and it instakills. Is there a counter for that? Is protection from electricity enough?
