  1. Unless you are black.

  2. Re:Can't trust this Govt on UK Steps Towards Zero-Carbon Economy (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Informative

    And announced cut to grants on Electric and Hybrid vehicles a few days ago.

    Not to mention recent budget changes to remove any tax benefits of zero and low emission vehicles.

  3. Loopholes galore. on California Has a New Law: No More All-Male Boards (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Fines of $100K for first breach and $300K for subsequent breaches. Pfft just pay the fine - cheaper in the long run in many cases. Also, what's to stop the companies that do comply from making up some spurious board role that has no purpose and appointing a woman with no interest in the company who will stay away from any decision making (ie wives of the current male directors).

    Bonkers.

  4. Re:" stop the twice-yearly changing of clocks" on EU To Stop Changing the Clocks in October 2019 (dw.com) · · Score: 1

    I think here in the UK the phrase "Changing the Clocks" is far more common than "Daylight Saving". Certainly in the part if England I am from. I can't speak for the rest of Europe.

  5. Re:I want a wifi camera. on Wifi Could Be Used To Detect Guns and Bombs, Researchers Say (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1
  6. Indeed - they need to get their own house in order first:

    Firefox!!

  8. Re:What a terrible headline on 'Something Is Wrong On the Internet' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm saving my outrage for all the advertising the kids are no doubt subjected to on Youtube kids.

  9. Re:What a terrible headline on 'Something Is Wrong On the Internet' (medium.com) · · Score: 1

    UK person here. Was definitely "dead babies" when I was a kid (1980's).

    What's pink, red and silver and sits in a corner? A baby with a fork in its eye.

  10. Re:"Creator's update to Kthulu's forced upgrade" on Windows 10 Update Removes Windows Media Player (betanews.com) · · Score: 2

    More likely it didn't have the "telemetry" that the newer app does

  11. Has the blogger got anything to back up his claims or is it just another consultant looking for a gig?

  12. Re:They didn't raise the price on Microsoft Raises UK Cloud, Software Prices 22% After Brexit-Fuelled Pound Drop (techweekeurope.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    Must be nice for all those UK Microsoft employees getting a pay increase now that it is cheaper to pay them.

    Or have Microsoft chosen to 'absorb' that?

  13. Re:My phone is how I keep my memory? on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm the same. I have a camera but usually leave it at home because I prefer to experience rather than document.

    However, I have an atrocious memory - and often pine for a record of my experiences.

    I've forgotten the point I was trying to make :(

  14. Re:banned now, required later on More Performers Are Demanding Audiences Lock Up Their Phones (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    By placing the retail desks outside the exclusion zone?

    Just a thought.

  15. Shitty musicians.

  16. Re:Feedback on Mozilla Is Changing Its Look -- and Asking the Internet For Feedback (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 5, Insightful

    They can have this one for free. I am not a designer, I spent 5 mins on this and it's shite - still better IMHO than any of the guff they came up with.

  18. You may think that's clever - but I suspect landlords who use this system will simply refuse you if you don't have a social media profile.

  19. Thanks Youtube on YouTube Threatens Legal Action Against Video Downloader (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 1

    Wow. I'd never heard of Tube Ninja and had no idea it was so easy to take offline versions of videos - that's super useful! Thanks youtube for bringing it to my attention.

  20. Re: Of two minds on Microsoft Urged to Open Source Classic Visual Basic (i-programmer.info) · · Score: 1

    I currently run it on Windows 8.1 and have successfully run it on Vista, 7 and 8. I've yet to try it on 10 but my hope is that it won't work so I can finally have an excuse to get rid of it.

  21. Re:/etc/hosts on YouTube To Roll Out 6-Second Ads That You Can't Skip (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    I didn't even know youtube had ads until a few weeks ago - when my wife was showing me a video on her phone. I've never seen one and can only presume that my browsers adblocker is taking care of them.
