  1. Re:It was a message on Debris From India's Anti-Satellite Test Poses Threat To ISS, Says NASA (npr.org) · · Score: 0

    It is very much a project of the western world though. With a lot of help from the russians as of lately.

  2. National Chicken Council on Fast-Growth Chickens Produce New Industry Woe: 'Spaghetti Meat' (wsj.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm already happy this is a thing that really exists.

  3. Re:German here. Dear Americans ... on Volvo To Impose 112mph Speed Limit On All New Cars From 2020 (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    As a belgian I have none of these extensive trainings and I can come drive 200 in germany after a 30min drive from my house.

    An american can rent a car in germany and drive 250 without any extra training, in a foreign country, with rules and regulations he might not even be aware of.

  4. calls and texts on Disputed NSA Phone Program Is Shut Down, Aide Says (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Not really surprising. people are moving to internet based communications. calls and texts have moved to the background. I'm sure they have enough internet based spying systems operational.

  5. Politicians in the Netherlands have proposed a law on Netherlands Looks To Ban All Non-Electric Cars By 2025 (yahoo.com) · · Score: 1

    > Politicians in the Netherlands have proposed a law

    >they're just stopping the sale of any new gas/diesel cars.

    Well, they dropped support for the Radeon drivers, while the open source variant doesn't work yet... so it's an LTS that doesn't support one of the 2 largest graphics card producers........

    They done fucked up.

  8. dead? on Skype For Linux: Dead? Or Just Resting? · · Score: 1

    Was it even ever alive? It has never been a usable piece of software on any of my linux installs...

    The tag was made, but tags can change. no official release statement has been made yet.

  11. Nope on Are Car Dealers a Business Worth Keeping? (vox.com) · · Score: 1

    Me and my girlfriend both both new cars this year. My experience has been horrible, they do not know what they are talking about and don't know how to communicate or just refuse to communicate after the deal has been signed.

    I had to correct the offer my girlfriend got from the dealer multiple times because they just put stuff in there that was impossible, and refused to put stuff in there that was possible because they thought it wasn't. In the end I came with proof and they changed to offer as we wanted...

  12. The European commision voted for new tests this week, and they are just marginally better than the current ones.

    Heavy lobbies from Germany, France and the UK are holding us back.

  14. if adds stop being silly, AdBlocking will go away on AdBlock Plus Defends Ad Blocking, Applauds Marco Arment · · Score: 1

    This might be true for some, but it's not for me.

    I will keep my adblockers for as long as I can, why shouldn't I. I do not care for your profits. If your site dies because you have no ad revenue, I'm sorry but then you've had the wrong business model all along, and somebody else will take your place.

  18. I nearly feel sorry for facebook on European Court: Websites Are Responsible For Users' Comments · · Score: 1

    Facebook could now be liable for millions of retarded posts...

  19. It's pretty easy for me... on Death In the Browser Tab · · Score: 2

    There's a fundamental difference...

    ISIS wants to spread the videos to show how badass they are, and to plant fear into people. We shouldn't distribute it, because then we are doing what they want. You can easily report on this without spreading the actual footage.

    A rogue cop killing an innocent wants to hide his crime, and should be exposed. This can also be easily reported on without showing footage, but the footage painfully shows how much the cops don't give a fuck about anybody's life.

    So the first should never be shown, the second should be available. But really, it's not mandatory to show any death videos... Especially in this age of social media, I'm casually browsing facebook at work, and suddenly I see dead people coming by.... That isn't helping anybody...

    I bought a macbook almost 2 years ago. brilliant piece of hardware. The OS though.... what a piece of crap... if my audio software were available on linux, I'd reinstall today.

  24. tried it for a week, switched back to gmail on Google Hopes To One Day Replace Gmail With Inbox · · Score: 1

    email is a productivity tool. Inbox is not. only 5 emails fit on my screen, the rest is bloat, whitespace and features that are cool at first, but I don't use them anymore after 2 days...
