    All people are idiots, wether they sit on their phones or not.

    Why? Just because the SE looks a bit like the 4 it doesn't have to be made of the same materials.

    Because of all that, the research costs pharma pays are a tiny fraction of the PR costs they pay.

    Life is unfair. Deal with it and stop moaning.

    I wish it were different but looking at the people I know I must say you're right.

    All Apple mice are terrible but the puck mouse really was in a league of its own. Instant RSI the moment you touched it.

    I guess you think iFixit and repair cafes and the like are just fads, no?

    I donâ(TM)t know your joking but your spelling affects me greatly. I could hardly understand what you meant.

    That last example you show is straight from Ars. Copying is faster than thinking so we see a sort of shadow of Arstechnica here.

  13. Yeah, it only takes one crucial staff member to not be there at the right moment to get us into a total nuclear war. I wonder how many near misses we've had already.

    Google won't do that. It's a great way to get to know their customers even better. Even when you use VPN they can follow every move you make on the interwebs thanks tto their wifi equipment.

  19. Re:One of Europe's major goals... on Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    True, but we are still doing less than even the US concerning the reduction of CO2 emissions. We plant loads of windmills and solar panels everywhere, and all our electric trains are truly emission free but that is compensated for by the relentless and ever-ongoing growth of Schiphol, to the dismay of almost everyone living in the Netherlands. Furthermore we do almost nothing to encourage private people to buy electric cars. Only people who lease cars get some benefits.

  20. Re:What a creative definition of "hurting" on Electric Buses Are Hurting the Oil Industry (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 2

    This is not only about CO2. The reduction in NOx and fine dust that is released in the streets of cities is much more significant.

    Just not being dependent on someone else for energy has so many plusses it's even worth it if it costs more. And with green energy you get a much better environment as an extra! It really has almost only plusses.

  24. The fact that there is more violence in Islamic nations is no proof that most people are violent there. Fact is that the great mayority of people just want to live their lives in peace and quiet. That is the same everywhere.
