    Anyone buying Apple after this is a moron. To brick MY phone is THEFT, and I'll have none of it.

    Yes, religion is dying out in the UK. And perhaps it's beginning to in the USA, but Muslim countries won't become atheist for a very long time. They're way behind us in evolution.

    Indeed. What needs banning is religion, all of it.

    I like to be able to sign into a page using Facebook, and for my browser to know I'm signed in and use the password it already knows. But why does that need any information transmitted to any other server? The button I click on the website to say "log in with Facebook" should link to the Facebook server directly. No browser in its right mind should ever give any information about another page to a different one.

    Or you could say it's an outlet for someone's abuse, so it DOESN'T get sent to real people. Anyway, it's just words, so who cares. Sticks and stones....

  7. I used to build PCs (Windows 7 to 8 era) and never ever installed less than 8GB of RAM. RAM costs nothing compared to the whole machine. Scrimping on 4 of those GB is pointless. And if it was for games, I'd insist on 16GB or more.

    Yes. Why should the country you're in change the way you have to behave? They're just lines drawn on the map.

  9. Re:legalism is a crap philosophy. on Homemade Speed Trap Made By Former UVA CS Professor (cvilletomorrow.org) · · Score: 1

    I'm in the UK, and that is a very stupid thing they do. Built up areas are curvy and narrow, with NO PAVEMENTS! (Sidewalks) Yes, there is nowhere for the kids to walk but in the middle of the road, with blind bends. I see near misses every day. And making cars continually turn left and right is reducing grip and increasing the chances of someone coming off a bend when they aren't looking or skid, especially with speedbumps everywhere making your vehicle lose weight.

    Aren't most PC motherboards dual BIOS (and now dual UEFI)? Fuck one up, copy the other one across, which cannot be accessed (presumably) from the OS.

    It's a pity you can't. Not paying your debts is a crime. Why are people upset about the police having another way to track down people not paying fees?

    This is just a chat forum. Besides, simply knowing that others have a certain opinion is useful.

    Presumably if you're a paedophile you don't put your computer full of images into a computer shop. If I had a dead body hidden in my car, I'd not put it in for a service!

    Oh dear, you've fallen for the media hype like so many do. I suppose you're one of those who thinks child abuse is worse than murder? Anyway, looking at a picture of anything has no victim. Just jail the folk who actually abuse people. In fact you could say those looking at pictures might be tempted to go and actually abuse kids if they couldn't find any photos to quench their perversions. Just like it's been shown that if you can play racing games on a computer, you quench your desire for driving fast on public roads.

    The best would be alphabetical order. This has been proved somewhere. The "exposed myth" article only talks about Dvorak, not alphabetical.

    I'd not jail anyone paying for a murder either. Just jail the person who actually does it. One death, one crime. No extra jail-man-hours required, as one person died, and you certainly shouldn't take any away from the person who did the actual murder. And your argument falls over when you consider most images will be downloaded without paying. If you want to jail accessories, make it a crime to pay for the images.

    Exactly, no way of telling which person did it. Here's an idea, why not go after people who actually do things to the child, rather than those that just look? You're not a murderer if you have a murder scene on your computer.

    Sounds similar to here. You need to get a license or something, and have to have it locked up where nobody else can get to it. Only very few people actually have one. I only know of two - my Uncle who likes to shoot rabbits now and then, and a farmer with a rat problem.
