  1. Why I won't use cloud storage. on Microsoft Can't Shield User Data From Government, Says Government (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    This is the very reason. For some reason my safety deposit box is protected from this crap, but if my documents are digital and are stored in the cloud equivalent then all my rights go away?

    SCOTUS somehow found a bunch of exceptions in this sentence:
    "The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized.".
    Not sure what language they are using for their interpretation but it must not be English.

  2. Statistics for something that doesn't have to be reported? That's a shaky argument. You have no idea how many drone injuries there are as that information probably isn't recorded anywhere.

    So your one of those guys who has a phone holster on his belt? You do know that's only slightly less fashionable then a fanny pack don't you?

    Bluetooth sucks for audio. I keep my phone in my back pocket and it constantly loses connection with my headphones. Never had that problem with wires.

    Makes you think maybe no one accessed the server. We know there were attempts but no one has offered any evidence of a successful breach.

    You obviously agree with me since you used a double negative.

    Oh so only corporate farms are real farms? I guess milk and cheese are boutique products. Sorry but real farms are owned by farmers not ADM.

  8. Re:John Deere is evil. on Farmers Demand Right To Fix Their Own Dang Tractors (modernfarmer.com) · · Score: 1

    or can't even because the crop has been modified to be infertile? Citation please. Companies like Monsanto and ADM have patented "Terminator" genes but they have never been used in a commercial product.. You should really do some actual research instead of depending on conspiracy websites.

    For any reason? You had better cite your source as I don't think the law quite allows for what you say.

    You really think new washing machines are going to last 20 years?

  11. Re:So are Whirlpool, Samsung, Kenmore, et al on Farmers Demand Right To Fix Their Own Dang Tractors (modernfarmer.com) · · Score: 1

    I just replaced my newish Samsung washing machine because the part to fix it was the same price as a new washer. For a replacement, I grabbed the old top loader from the shed, I know how to fix that one (I should I've done it enough).

  14. FTFY on Millennials Set To Earn Less Than Generation X (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Technical innovation is just "Uber-izing" everything. Jobs that can be automated, will be. Jobs that can't will be outsourced to contractors.

  15. drone ship landings require a lot less fuel? on SpaceX Successfully Lands Falcon 9 Rocket On Solid Ground For the Second Time (theverge.com) · · Score: 2

    Can anyone explain why landing on a ship uses a lot less fuel then on land. I would think since you have to be far more accurate to land on a ship it would require more fuel.

    Nope, as I have gotten older I find I prefer my devices and computers to work instead of having the bragging rights to the new shiny,

    Funny how the Right did the exact same thing yet you fail to mention it, Why is that? Oh and their were guns involved. I am sick and tired of shitheads cherry picking their outrage. If you are outraged about these actions then be outraged by them all or shut your racist trap.

    Absolutely wrong. Your way throws due process out the window, and makes our police force nothing more then a death squad. I am going to guess you are not an American since you seem to have no idea how our system of justice is supposed to work.
