  1. Re:Who controls the past controls the future... on Bing Implements Right To Be Forgotten · · Score: 1

    The whole "right to be forgotten" is an implementation of the fact that over time, whatever happened people naturally forget about, and getting at those records is hard enough that the effort usually isn't worthwhile.

    Except this was not the original "right to be forgotten", which was discussed by the European Parliament and meant "I want Facebook to forget MY OWN data I provided it with". That was lobbied aside by Yahoo! and Co. This is related to a ruling by the Supreme European Court (different entity) and the press called it "right to be forgotten" putting a new meaning to an old concept. This nice little trick by the press hijacked all possibilities of debating the old meaning, which made much more sense, actually.

    I'm not going to flash my monitor to wipe off my burger grease.

  4. The Simpsons on German Police Stop Man With Mobile Office In Car · · Score: 2

    There was an episode where Homer was cooking in its car while driving. When he was about to have an accident, instead of breaking, he sent an S.O.S fax. Reality beats imagination again.

  5. I heard you like... on Samsung and VMWare Bringing Virtualization to Android · · Score: 1

    I heard you like Android, so I put a VM on your Android so you can run Android while you run Android!

    and provide everyone a modern developer needs to produce fast

    What's that supposed to mean? Indeed, there's no editing at all.

  7. Re:It's like a religion on Measles Resurgent Due To Fear of Vaccination · · Score: 1

    - Mercury in the shots.

    You know, there actually are a lot of vaccines who used (or still use) a mercury-based preservant, Thiomersal

    That thing is kinda toxic, and it's as old as modern medicine gets, dating back to the '30s.

    I mean, don't we have anything better than mercury-based preservant that's 80 years old? Phase it out already!

  8. That means on The Galaxy May Have Billions of Habitable Planets · · Score: 1

    They are over 9000!
