    Isn't the opposite way?, aren't self-driving stricly predictable?, isn't fault of those who don't follow the rules?. They should keep being like that, and people who doesn't follow the laws should be banned from driving, simple as that.

  12. ATI Radeon ruined it for me on 22-Way SteamOS Graphics Card Comparison: NVIDIA Wins Across the Board (phoronix.com) · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    ATI is responsable that i didn't build up any more gaming PCs, in 2008 i bought an ATI Radeon HD 4870, at that moment, where i lived at least, it was one of the high end cards, ATI only offered the Dual 4870 and 4890 as better graphic cards. I thought i have built a very good gaming rig, and it turned out not being able to run Need For Speed Most Wanted (released 2005) with high settings, that day i decided that i would only play games on consoles, sure, they are less powerful, closed, but you put the disc and they run.

  13. NO, they are no good. on An Algorithm For Better Password Checking (technologyreview.com) · · Score: 1

    They make you choose passwords like JaNjwMownpJu81% which is pure crap, hard to remember, easy to bruteforce. Most sites won't let you use pass phrases, which are much more secure that those cryptic bullshit.

  14. Re:Undetectable adblocker on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 2

    Would it be possible to create an adblocker that loads all the ads but replaces them with beige squares just before they hit the framebuffer? Or would the latest JavaShit technology still be able to detect these?

    Yes, but part of the problem is loading ads, they can carry malware, they can play sounds, loading times and bandwidth consumption will increase compared to a regular AdBlocker. Plus, the best thing we can do is letting them know that we are not going to accept their ads.

  15. What happens when the content isn't worth it? on German Publisher Axel Springer Bans Adblocking Users From Bild Website (axelspringer.de) · · Score: 1, Interesting

    Not really. People at Microsoft Research showed it to be broken years before it became a scandal. No one bothered to listen.

    I didn't know that. Got a link?

  19. Honestly... on Apple Approves, Then Removes In-App Ad Blocker (reuters.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I don't own, and probably never will, an Apple product, i simply don't think they worth what they cost, but i got to give a thumbs up on this one, i don't know how many of the app's users know (and understand) what was going on, and while there isn't any evidence that this actually happened, you only can "trust" they don't. Maybe if this app was advertise as such, it may be acceptable, because the user choose to trust them or not.

  20. Re:Sincerely, good luck on Matthew Garrett Forks the Linux Kernel · · Score: 1

    Good on you for putting wotrk in and not just words in. I'm interested to see how many contributors will support the fork.

    --Try reading what I wrote again, you moron. You're making yourself look bad (again.)

    Nooo, am i making myself look bad?, Again?. Well, let's see, I guess that since you're Wolfrider, King of the Internet truth, and your friend got the day off because her PC just died and Help Desk said it was a win update (haha, which one?, did they told you?) i guess that Microsoft lied (and your friend and the other dude got owned in the whole world) and that random internet dude and you are telling the truth. Sophos Naked Security

    Because the update seems to have existed only as a test of the notification process, and not as an update package that could actually be installed, it seems to have been a fake update, too.

    So, you can stand down from red alert.

    It was a harmlessly incorrect genuine botched fake update.

    But what?, the update is a dummy file?, it can't be installed you say?, noooooo, Wolfrided was making up stories?, who would have thought it, right?.

    Was it me the one making himself look bad? Again?, well, guess again buddy.

    --My friend's PC was nuked just like they are saying. You gonna call me a liar?

    --She was called into work *after having had time off approved for the day* because her primary Win7 PC crashed and System Restore would not fix it. I suspected it was a bad Win update, and the repair tech confirmed it. Her office was taking orders manually all day because of this.

    No, i'm calling you random person from the internet which doesn't present evidence other that "the update broke my friend's PC". Later saying "I suspected it was a bad Win update" really doesn't help your case.
