  1. I like more space. on US Lawmakers Propose Minimum Seat Sizes For Airlines (consumerist.com) · · Score: 1

    On my last flight from CPH to LAS and back again(about 10 hours each way). I booked a 1000$ seat instead of a 500$ seat to get a "premium" seat, and it was worth it. I could open my laptop and play games, I there was room for my legs and even to each side in the seat, I could even recline my seat enough to get a decent nap.
    But often you don't have the option of a seat double the price, you have to pay three or four times as much as the next step up.
    I have been traveling with other people that are below the average size for scandinavians, and that always say that they have no problems with the small seats, and yet their elbows are always entering my space. :)

  2. Gizmodo, how amusing on Facebook Begins Marking 'Fake News' As 'Disputed' (wdrb.com) · · Score: 1

    How amusing that someone from Gizmodo talks about "fake news" when they are quite good at writing fake news themselves. That site is a flaming pile of dog shit.

    I watch YouTube because I can't stand TV (although I do watch a few PBS shows, but they are on YouTube)

    There's already more things on YouTube that I'd like to watch than what I have time for: https://www.youtube.com/user/H...

    I sure am happy that I can repair my old pinball machines, that every nut and bolt has a part number so I can find a replacement part.

    They sure wouldn't have lasted for 30 years without repairs.
    They still fulfilled their role and made money for the original owner somewhere.

    With that amount of views and subscribers, why would he want to be on something as restricted as national TV?

  10. Re:Professional attention whore strikes again on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    For some reason, the meat of the story, that main steam media are being so dishonest, seems to be ignored by many commenters here.
    I don't watch his videoes myself, but I am truly disgusted and disappointed by the main stream media. Specially in the times we are in where they are under attack for being dishonest, I had hoped that they all would make an effort to fly straight, but they are all spiralling down into the instanity that I do not care for at all.

  11. Re:Death To All Jews on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    Absolutely.
    But how all the traditional media outlets are creating drama to get clicks and twisting the truth are going to be their downfall. Their ethics are no better than sites like, Wired, Gizmodo, Huffinton post, Buzzfeed etc. who also are twisting the truth or outright lying to get more viewers og cater to their demographic.

  12. He is right and it should be an eye opener. on PewDiePie Calls Out the 'Old-School Media' For Spiteful Dishonesty · · Score: 1

    It's incredible the level of deception(and or ignorance) that sites like WSJ, Wired and others are doing.
    It really makes one think about what they are doing to news where they are the only source of information.

    CNN are just as bad as Fox News, each of them just have their own selective version of the truth.

  15. How about Linux on Microsoft Now Offers Patent Troll Defense For Azure Customers (thestack.com) · · Score: 5, Funny

    If I run Linux in azure, will I then be protected against patent lawsuits from microsoft that they believe that Linux violates? :D

  16. It is? on It's Time To Admit Apple Watch Is a Success (imore.com) · · Score: 1

    I have an iPhone, iPad, iMac, Macbook Air, Apple TV, Apple Airport Extreme, iPod Nano(for the car) etc etc. and yet, when I have been in the mood for new gadgets, I simply haven't been able to come up with an excuse that could convince myself why I would want the Apple watch.
    But I guess it helps if you are a part of the social media users? Maybe in my younger days, I thought it would have been cool to get ICQ or messenger notifications on my wrist. These days I will read messages to me when I feel like it not having it disturb me.

    I know, I know, get off my lawn. :/

    if "cord cutting services close", I won't be going back to cable. I can't, it isn't worth it, even if I got the cable into my house for free I wouldn't even bother to connect it.

    See too. That is interesting is that when you watch content made for TV channels with ads on something like Netflix, you realize how bad many TV shows are and how much content they reuse. :D

  25. So what is fake news? on Germany Considers Fining Facebook $522,000 Per Fake News Item (heatst.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does it include the big media news sources that takes something that is a rumor and runs with it?
    Does it include the omission of fact? When it is not a lie, but it is also not the entire story but they omit something because it doesn't not fit their narrative?

    Or is it just those stories that shows the government doing a piss poor job of running the country?
