  1. Re:No shit on Another Study Confirms Hands-Free Texting While Driving Is Unsafe · · Score: 1

    Wait - you have an M5 but havent added in the texting system to iDrive? That would solve half your issues....

    Oh wait - 480bhp? Thats not a current spec M5 - the E60 was 500BHP. Are you driving an E39 tuned up?

    [disclosure - work for BMW :)]

  2. Re:EVs not really for long road trips on Tesla To Blanket US With Superchargers In Two Years · · Score: 1

    BMW i will have purchase / lease options that give you the g'teed use of an ICE when you need it. Solving both issues.

    Full disclosure: I work for BMW but NOT in i

  3. Re:...wont make me shop at "traditional" on US Senate Passes Internet Tax Bill 69 To 27 · · Score: 1

    You dont have "Fast" checkouts yet, where you've scanned all your items as you walk around the shop? You randomly (a little like a credit check really) have to rescan with a live person, but that is usually less than once every 6 months or so. Vastly quicker

  4. Re:History on Repeal of Louisiana Science Education Act Rejected · · Score: 1

    No, the earths age is not calculated from fossil record, but through decay processes. It is refined as more meteorites with "frozen" records of formation are found and analysed.

    This is not circular logic; circular logic is "this book is infallible because it is the word of god. IT is the word of god because the book says it is"

  5. Re:Miles on Salesforce, a Pillow Maker and a $125k AmEx Bill · · Score: 1

    Wrong. If it s a true corporate card, the name on the account is the companies, and you are just an authorised user for it (you have a mandate)

    "renege"

  6. Re:I'm curious to see how many retailers actually on Credit Card Swipe Fees Begin Sunday In USA · · Score: 1

    No, as they are still bound by the Consumer Credit Act, which requires that they *prove* you were eithe rnegligent or actually authorised the transaction. They will try to convince you, in some cases, that you are liable just because the PIN was used, but that has no power except when you believe them

  7. Re:The Purchasers?? on Responding to US Gambling Law, Antigua Set To Launch "Pirate" Site · · Score: 1

    Incorrect; they will have obtained a valid WTO and WIPO recognised licence.

    $100 fine and 30 days in jail, maximum sentence for physical trespass. You clearly missed that as well, asshole

  12. Re:How exactly are the 'massaging' the numbers? on Norway Tax Auditors Want To Open Source Cash Registers To Combat Fraud · · Score: 1

    Not easily deceived, you just cannot prove it without being there when it happens. Shrinkage can easily be huge in a perishable business

    Posting as an IT auditor of ex big 4 and UK 10 who saw my colleagues pain.

  13. Re:Good. on French ISP Blocking Web Ads By Default · · Score: 1

    Even my not very net literate parents and grandmother are annoyed by internet ads. I put adblock on for them and they now much prefer their online experience.

  14. Re:wrong on all accounts on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 1

    Monitoring their blacklist for your IPs is not "hard"

  15. Re:Wel you got enough guns on Ask Slashdot: Dealing With Anti-Spam Service Extortion? · · Score: 2

    No, the responsible party is always the person choosing to implement the blacklist as a total arbiter. The black list is not the fault, but the person configuring the system. The blame should be placed in the correct place.

  16. Re:Somehow I find it hard to be sympathetic on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    Because youve been told it is an "exam", and usually you prepare for exams.

  17. Re:In summary on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    They all vary in capability though - my older droid phone had a terrible speakerphone, my newer one is a lot better

  18. Re:HR will be HR on The Trials and Tribulations of a Would-Be Facebook Employee · · Score: 1

    Currently taking my old work through Tribunal process due to incompetent HR.... Says it all really. Lovely company, wonderful people - but HR? Incompetent from the start, and at the end, and at most points in the middle

    Paypal IS a bank in Europe, inc in Luxembourg. Oddly the EU wasnt fooled by "we're not a bank" Paypal, unlike the US

    Erm, no. It is illegal under US law, for US citizens. Not anyone else.

    Idiot

  21. Re:Excellent. on Swedish Pirate Party Presses Charges Against Banks For WikiLeaks Blockade · · Score: 1

    In the US? Fair enough - however Visa and M'card have a number of operations in other countries, and so are subject to those laws

  22. Re:So... on Facebook Ordered To End Its Real Name Policy In Germany · · Score: 1

    Odd, the German corporation Facebook.de probably thinks it is a German company.

    Or are you just stunningly ignorant of basic, 2 second google derived facts?

    Their datacentre is an issue though.

  24. Re:How can law apply? on Facebook Ordered To End Its Real Name Policy In Germany · · Score: 1

    They do business in Germany, so are subject to German law, oddly enough

    I dont know why people assume you need a .de to be subject to German law

    They DO operate a business in Germany. Advertising.
