    I see it as an example of tech based web sales driving non-tech bricks and mortar stores out of business. Dot com is killing the high street. The nerds are finally taking over.

    It smells better before that fat, greasy burger eating American get into it and drops the mac sauce all over the upholstery

    If someone really needs to use it they will pay more. The only people you lose by putting the price up is people who don't have to use it, which are the minority of users. You'd have to cite some numbers in order to validate your claim.

    If you say "big falcon rocket" it sounds almost the same.

    Just letting off some steam probably. Nothing to worry about.

    That would require hiring an army of people, to build and launch the rover. They'd also need teams of highty skilled people to monitor the activity of each one.

    Why would they care? The money is in cloud services, not operating systems.

    Linux isn't any more stable than another other modern OS. In fact if you look at the ubuntu security notices you'll find that it has quite a number of vulnerabilities and bugs.

    The fact that your are too lazy to learn paint3d doesn't make it malware. It's actually a lot better than paint.

  22. Re:so liberals can't complain about fox news? on Attacks on the Media Are a Threat To Democracy, Justin Trudeau Says (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 1

    There's a difference between 'complaining' and attempting to censor or control.Once governments start controlling what the media can say then an important check and balance is lost. Fox News are free to report whatever tripe they like, but people are free do call them out for it and do so quite regularly.

  23. Re:You mean other than what they spread ? on Can Facebook Keep Large-Scale Misinformation From the Free World? (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    People in the UK consider it improper for a news channel to have a political bias. The BBC is biased but they are a lot more discreet about it than fox news. The British people also don't like 'over the top' or overly angry news readers. Their job is to read news, not to opinionate.

  24. Re:You mean other than what they spread ? on Can Facebook Keep Large-Scale Misinformation From the Free World? (sfgate.com) · · Score: 1

    The BBC has had control of the main TV and radio channels in the UK for a very long time. Until recently it held the only radio stations which covered the whole of the UK. It is funded by billions in taxpayers money, enabling it to run without ads, which makes it hard for any private media business to compete. As a result what you get is a small number of people at the BBC getting to push various agendas to the masses in the UK. Things like doctor who and pretty much every other show they make get so much political stuff inserted unnecessarily. Personally I am glad that Netflix started making content, because it means I can watch drama without having political agendas shoved down my throat. Finally the Internet is starting to bring some real competition to the UK media industry.

    The problem is that people believe what they read without doing proper research.
