    Google misses China so much, very doubtful they also kiss Europe bye bye.

  5. Many reform proposals on EU Copyright Reform Proposes Search Engines Pay For Snippets (thestack.com) · · Score: 0

    Many proposals are made by a lot of people within the EC and many of them are rejected. This one is gonna be rejected so fast Google will not even hear about it.

    What is amazing is not Bing making a mistake, it's Google making no mistake, at least no big mistake at all. This, is amazing.

    +1 Funny, but I'm hoping Insightful

    Living in China, I can't use Google.

    THis is another good reason to use Google where we can.

  9. Not totally true on Microsoft Lost a City Because They Used Wikipedia Data (theregister.co.uk) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Well, it's Bing, so at least no-one was actually using it

    Many people use Bing for porn.

    Actually I thank them: for once we have both units, km and miles, and even GMT time (it's actually UTC, but, hey, let's not be too pedantic this time)

    4,000 km is extremely close! Voyager 1's closest flyby was 349,000 km (Voyager 2 was 570,000 km). Sounds promising...

  17. Re:Turkey is an authoritarian regime?? on British Companies Are Selling Advanced Spy Tech To Authoritarian Regimes (vice.com) · · Score: 1

    Maybe, but taking some authoritarian measures (like in France currently after the terror attacks) doesn't make an "authoritarian regime", especially when its leaders are elected democratically.

  18. It is said that Microsoft in the early days hired only young fresh software engineers so they wouldn't be corrupted by "old school" thinking

    Or maybe the real reason is 'not having old/other school experience prevents the new engineers from comparing, seeing and reporting weaknesses in Microsoft structure/dev teams'.

    Anyway, not having a system dressed up in such a yakky name is a sufficient reason not to upgrade.

  21. Re:Forbes: (Warning paywalled) on Dyson Will Spend $1.4 Billion, Enlist 3,000 Engineers To Build a Better Battery (digitaltrends.com) · · Score: 1

    Actually it doesn't seem to be paywalled - or at least there may be a limited number of articles available for free.

    It seems to be more or less random, or based on cookies that the site handles. Recently I could access easily a few articles from Forbes. This one was "hard-paywalled", meaning have to subscribe to something, and waiting for "3.. 2.. 1" didn't work either. Oh, and I'm using AdBlock+, that could be the reason.

    Anyway anyone should use AdBlock+ or an equivalent, so this article is paywalled.

  22. And you know it's paywalled! So why using that article at all?

  23. Turkey is an authoritarian regime?? on British Companies Are Selling Advanced Spy Tech To Authoritarian Regimes (vice.com) · · Score: 2

    Turkey is a parliamentary representative democracy. The president is elected for a five-year term by direct elections. There are human rights issues, but "authoritarian" is strong a word.
