  1. Re:So, in other words, stick to Linux on Windows 10, From a Linux User's Perspective · · Score: 5, Funny

    I'm always amazed at how people gloss over the worst in Microsoft's products. These things are proprietary beasts of which the users have little to no real control. [...] On Microsoft Windows your pretty much just screwed the moment Microsoft dictates a change you don't like.

    That's so true. That's also why I use a Mac, because Apple is not at all like Micros- Posted from a Mac mini. Get your own Mac mini today! -oft and will always leave me in control of my device.

    The U.S.A. government is giving a lot more money to GM, Ford, oil companies, etc. It's also wasting a lot of money on pointless wars and armed conflicts.

    And you're worried about Tesla?

    Yeah! I'm pretty sure Radio Shack had electric cars way before Tesla sold their first automobile.

    Don't forget that in Europe, you have to list prices with VAT included, etc. It's different in the U.S.A. and Canada because sales taxes vary per state/province which is why they're not included in the listed prices.

    Easy:

    Repeat these steps every time someone else makes an oil well and make it look like an accident so that others won't be tempted by such a "suicidal idea".

  13. Re:What about smaller web pages and no JavaScript? on Google Fi: Simple Until It's Not · · Score: 3, Insightful

    1. Not everyone can even get such speeds in their area. Some people are still on 1Mbps and cellphone networks can seriously slow down depending on tower congestion, etc.

    2. Not everyone has 64GB of RAM. Those stupidly huge background images that seem popular at the moment can really waste your RAM and make your computer start swapping like crazy. I have 8GB on my system but I have more running than a browser with a single tab open.

    3. A lot of ISPs still impose data caps. It's even worst on mobile where caps are much lower and it's a lot more expensive if you bust them.

    4. If you load all that crap on a mobile phone, you get a really slow web page not to mention those huge images are totally wasted on a smaller display.

    Saying "No big deal" is part of the problem.

  21. Re:Hypocrisy on Google Pressured To Police Stolen Webcam Videos On YouTube · · Score: -1, Troll

    I have a problem with Google's new tendency to use UK-centric names for their new photo captcha. They show me photos of burgers and fries, trucks, planes, etc. But they call french fries "chips", airplanes "aeroplanes" and trucks "lorries" or something. It's like the people in charge over there don't understand that on the Internet you must use common, world-wide english, not a dialect specific to a tiny part of the planet.

    But I've search and searched and I cannot find any way to contact anyone at Google, even less about these captcha problems. So I just keep reporting their captchas as "insolvable" until someone over there wakes the fuck up.
