    I just love to play with the ambiguities of language and with the english language it's almost too easy.

    Totalitarian regime goes hand in hand with the chinese government.
    I struggle to see the news.

  4. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on How To Clean the Cruft Left By a Windows 10 Upgrade · · Score: 1

    Trying to clean up the cruft (so tedious) and solving any potential problem(s) or combination thereof by hand is more time consuming than starting from a clean slate.
    If you already have a decently upkept system (like i had) i could agree with you but it is a rare case.
    In fact i almost kept my in place upgrade but then my clean system obsession kicked in.

    Yup but at least you can remove them from those systems.
    If you're aware of the problem, of course.

    Don't waste your time.
    If you're upgrading from Win7\8\8.1 do an in-place upgrade just to pass your product key on to win10 then format.

    You'll have to pry them from my cold dead routers!

  9. Re:SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on How Did Volkswagen Cheat Emissions Tests, and Who Authorized It? · · Score: 2

    Furthermore, another question popped up in my mind: how come none of the competitors discovered this in their testing of VW cars?
    Perhaps they're doing this too so they didn't want to blow the lid?

  10. SubjectsInCommentsAreStupid on How Did Volkswagen Cheat Emissions Tests, and Who Authorized It? · · Score: 5, Interesting

    Someone should have leaked this a looong time ago. Perhaps some dev, why not.
    Hell it would have saved VW a lot of money! Think about recalling 1mln cars instead of 11mln!
    Did VW really think it could get away with this indefinitely?
    Fucking corporate morons...

    I can defend myself on the net, i am more concerned about corporations which (have to) have my real info. They must be strictly kept in check.

    I was not referring to the "right to be forgotten". That's bullshit. We tech people know that.
    Once the beans are spilled there's no way to put them back wherever they came from.
    I was referring to privacy laws.
