  1. Re:Is it, uh.... on Man Builds 'Scarlett Johansson' Robot From Scratch (mirror.co.uk) · · Score: 2

    Yes, down to the teeth.

  2. Re:Yay! on Rumor: Broadcom Phasing Out Wi-Fi Chip Business (digitimes.com) · · Score: 4, Informative

    Well, I did rejoice when they announced their brcmfmac ans brcmsmac drivers, except that the latter was then basically abandoned, with new hardware support never being added apart from the limited initial offering, and that's the driver supposed to cover their laptop chips!
    So yeah, it's Intel or Atheros/Qualcomm for me right now. Realtek has general good linux support, but their chips cover only the lower end of the market. Mediatek is what was once known as Ralink, their support used to be good, I wonder how it is now. Any other current vendors I did not mention?

  3. Re:Not 12 euros... on Europe Now Has Its Own "Most Wanted Fugitives" Web Page (eumostwanted.eu) · · Score: 1

    Exactly, how is this guy on the same page of Matteo Messina Denaro, a Sicilian mafia boss who killed the child son of a rival boss and dissolved his body in an acid vat?

  4. Re:Don't they own House of Cards? on Netflix Teams With LG For 'Prepaid' Streaming Worldwide (engadget.com) · · Score: 2

    Netflix started here in Italy last November, but House of Cards is not part of the catalogue because they already sold broadcasting rights to Sky.

  5. If you don't already know who "bronies" are, don't look for them.

  6. No, because you can only blame yourself. Or al-Baghdadi, good luck in suing him.

  7. Re:I feared exactly this situation... on Radeon Graphics Cards To Support HDR Displays and FreeSync Over HDMI In 2016 (hothardware.com) · · Score: 1

    There's nothing proprietary in those extensions since FreeSync is part of VESA standards. If anything, blame HDMI for not following VESA.

  8. Re:How can there be? on No Such Thing As 'Unlimited' Data (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Not a hater, but much keen on using straw man arguments.
    Keep it on topic: whether sustainable or not, nobody forced communication companies to sell unlimited data plans. Basically they used it as a marketing ploy to sell what they didn't possess, and once internet traffic got high enough that the limits of their scheme would be tested, they backtraced. Which is contract breach, and possibly fraud if it can be proven they were aware of the Ponzi scheme nature of their offer.

  9. You can play it for free in your browser.

    A remake was attempted in 2012 but the Kickstarter campaign didn't reach its goal.

  10. Re: Censoring speech... on National Coalition Calls for Campus Censorship of "Offensive" Speech (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    So, you're saying that the technologically superior has the right to exterminate the inferior, especially if the latter is not as ethically immaculate as some positive racist (albeit outdated) narrative tells us?

  11. Re: Censoring speech... on National Coalition Calls for Campus Censorship of "Offensive" Speech (washingtonpost.com) · · Score: 1

    No, we cannot. It's really old rhetoric and it's beyond boredom.

  12. Re:76,000 Employees? on Western Digital To Buy SanDisk (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    There's this funny little word, that starts with "lay" and end with "offs"...

  13. Re:In other words on Western Digital To Buy SanDisk (reuters.com) · · Score: 1

    They already did: I bought my 500GB Crucial MX200 for 160€.

  14. Re:You're so negative on The United States and Israel Sign Space Cooperation Agreement (israelnationalnews.com) · · Score: 1

    Ultimately utopistic. Nations will still compete for access to natural resources, and will feed nationalisms and cultural particolarisms in order to do so. Access to oil and water supplies plays a major part in the current Middle East situation. Cultural, racial and religious identities are just tools in this struggle, even if the media will try to pass a simplicistic good vs. evil scenario.

    Does that mean no more minimum wage jobs in city centers?

  18. Re:Self inflicted damage on EU Court: Commuting to Customer Sites Counts as Work · · Score: 1

    You might notice that working hours have nothing to do with productivity, otherwise Japan would lead the graph you just posted.

  19. Re:Makes perfect sense on EU Court: Commuting to Customer Sites Counts as Work · · Score: 4, Interesting

    Or maybe, home healthcare should be a public service paid by the whole community through taxes proportional to their income? Just saying...

  20. Re:Biased reporting on Researcher: The US Owes the World $4 Trillion For Trashing the Climate · · Score: 3, Informative

    Did you even read the research? China and many Europen nations are also put in the equation.

  22. Re:Sounds like an ad on Italian City To Dump OpenOffice For Microsoft After Four Years · · Score: 2

    The source does count, since the numbers they give really don't add up. Here's a good analysis, it's in Italian sorry: http://www.techeconomy.it/2015...

    Also, by technical issues they mean "we relay a lot on Access and have no will to convert".

    Afaik, the total amount of matter actually reacting at any given moment is less than a gram, if you cut that supply the reaction will auto-extinguish in micro-seconds.

    It's not as anachronistic as the Grauballe Man, who apparently ate corn porridge between 290B.C. and 310 A.D.. In Europe. Corn.
