    I did some work for the IAEA three or four years ago they were still using a 30 year old Mainframe that still hadn't been Y2K certified to do most of their work. Welcome to the UN

    Something's going on with these bots lately. They're posting coherent, intelligent, well thought out replies

    They merely look coherent compared to the bots that are doing OPs these days

    I've heard of people being in a different time zone but that's 5 years out https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/...

  7. Re:Can you turn autostart off on Chrome 54 Arrives With YouTube Flash Embed Rewriting To HTML5 (venturebeat.com) · · Score: 1

    That's a down side with this before I had disabled the flash plugin so if I wanted to watch/listen I had to enable it so I had a way of stopping autoplay for flash. Now it will convert them and play them anyway :|

  8. I like the way it takes a couple of seconds before it replaces the flash plugin just so you can see who's still banging rocks together (BBC I'm looking at you!)

  10. Fort kids today abstaining from drink, drugs & smoking and maintaining a steady 9 to 5 job is the only way they have left of rebelling against their parents

  14. Perjury & Fraud legislation anyone?

    Perjury because essentially someone is lying to the court buy submitting fake defendants.

    Fraud if they take this judgment which was obtained illegally and use it to get services (read take down that post)

  15. Surely you need more proof that the defendant actually exists than that

  16. Re:Why the hate? on Samsung Permanently Discontinues Galaxy Note 7 (twitter.com) · · Score: 1

    Ok I admit that I use iOS devices more than android. But why the hate towards Samsung with the good riddance.

    I'm not seeing any hate except from a few Apple Extremists. Mostly I'm seeing surprise/shock that they could fuckup on this magnitude.

  23. The question is "why"? - you have a higher chance of dying from a bee sting or a lightning strike, why not address the higher risks first?

    Yes lets kill all the bees :D

  25. Hmm is this like Samsung apps or anti trust on Android 7.1 Nougat's Changelog Reveals Pixel-Exclusive Features Not Available To Nexus Devices (bgr.com) · · Score: 1

    I guess there's two ways we could interpret this:

    1. It's like Samsung, LG etc all deploy their phones with their own bloatware

    2. They are engineering the OS environment to give their products/services an advantage (Like MS did with IE and Windows)

    Either way it feels like Google are becoming more like Evil Corp everyday
