  1. Then don't trust it to Apple! on Apple Says It Doesn't Know Why iTunes Users Are Losing Their Music Files (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    How stupid do you have to be to store your data on someone else's system? The cloud is a stupid idea. Store your files on YOUR property, then YOU can make sure it's safe and backed up.

  2. We need to stop measuring values of things in the blood, and get people to perform some kind of test - reaction speed etc. Or, how about just not pulling people at all unless they cause an accident? I can crash my car and get nothing but a premium rise on my insurance, the police don't even attend! We're arresting people with no evidence that they are going to crash, and letting people off who do. I'd rather a sober useless driver was punished than a stoned good driver.

  3. Re:But using Apple causes AIDS (-1, Troll) on Cellphones Do Not Cause Brain Cancer, Says 29-Year Study (gizmodo.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not caused by the Apple. It's just that weird people like Apples, they were already arty farty types who have promiscuous sex.

  4. Re:Hmm on Snapchat Sued For Facilitating 107 MPH Car Crash (patch.com) · · Score: 1

    All I'm wondering is how anyone can blame anybody but the driver who CHOSE TO DRIVE AT 107. If I meet you in the street and tell you to rob a bank, you don't go and do it, you can think for yourself.

  5. Re:oh crap on Windows 10 Updates Are Now Ruining Pro-Gaming Streams (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Check your settings, mine gives me a couple of days notice to reboot.

  6. Re:I can see this as an environmental disaster on Gas Delivery Startups Want to Fill Up Your Car Anywhere, But It Might Not Be Legal (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    Gas tankers filling those stations can and do crash with disastrous consequences. A smaller truck with less fuel is safer.

  7. Re:Very small forest on Engineers Plan The Most Expensive Object Ever Built (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So if your Ferrari is 50 times faster than my Lada, and I fit a twin turbo 6 litre V8 to it, your Ferrari suddenly could break the sound barrier? I like your way of thinking, but it only works in Tom and Jerry.

  8. Re: never heard of it on RIP Kuro5hin (kuro5hin.org) · · Score: 1

    Usenet beats any forum hands down.

  9. Re:Cost? on Engineers Plan The Most Expensive Object Ever Built (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    6 times the cost of Sizewell B. Why?

  10. Re:Very small forest on Engineers Plan The Most Expensive Object Ever Built (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    And the power plant produces infinitely times more power than the Burj Khalifas.

  11. Re:The 'real market value of his work' is irreleva on Ask Slashdot: Should This Photographer Sue A Hotel For $2M? (google.com) · · Score: 1

    Of course the real market value is relevant! He got paid 4000 euros for 3 years, then wants 2 million for use after then? That's equivalent to a further 150 years use. The figure is ludicrous.

  12. I've noticed that too, it seems to randomly miss things, like it's a drunk human doing the search. How on earth can a computer program randomly miss stuff?

  13. I wish Google would buy out the EU, nobody could do a worse job than they're currently doing.

  14. What does Cortana do anyway? I search for stuff on the internet in my browser address bar. I search for programs by just typing when the start menu is open. I couldn't find anything Cortana could do in addition to that.

  15. Yip, witch hunts live on.

  16. Re:Surely a fundamental human rights breach? on Child Porn Suspect Jailed Indefinitely For Refusing To Decrypt Hard Drives (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    Coming from the UK, your use of the word gangbanger is amusing. It means something completely different over here.

  17. Re:By this argument... on Slashdot Asks: Does It Matter That We've Reached Peak Smartphone? · · Score: 1

    What are you lot talking about, we have not reached peak desktop, ever. Parts continue to speed up and get cheaper and use less electricity.

  18. Re:There are adverse effects from this on Rise In CO2 Has 'Greened Planet Earth' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    So things change a bit, cool. I like change.

  19. Re:More "pleasant" weather on Rise In CO2 Has 'Greened Planet Earth' (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    The changes they've quoted are 1 or 2C, I doubt you'd notice that and call it unbearable.

  20. Re:slippery slope on Utah Governor: 'Porn Is a Public Health Crisis' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    What people look at is their concern and not yours. If someone can screw up their life simply by looking at videos, they're not right in the head anyway.

  21. You mean depth of field. Field of depth would be a big lake or something.

  22. Your sig is cool, I've pirated it.

  23. "Due to the state's law preventing cities from banning discrimination against the LGBT community," What on earth does that mean? I need a calculator to remove all the negatives.

  24. Re: Legality on All-Female Ridesharing To Debut In Boston (qz.com) · · Score: 1

    Discrimination SHOULD be allowed. If I go to the trouble of buying and setting up a gym, then only I should be the one to choose who gets to use it. Could be only my friends and relatives, could be only men, could be only whites, it's really nobody's business but mine, I paid for the joint. You want a gym you're allowed in, find another one or buy your own.

  25. It isn't changing any more than it always has, before industrialisation.
