    That holds true even more if you look at people using non-pirated versions.

    They should dust of David Hasselhoff to introduce it

  5. true, I've only got entries from the DHCP server wit MAC addresses in it

  6. Just to see if my router actually logs this I just checked, my >200 Euro router keeps the logs for just about 24 hours. If that is any indication it seems that their best chance is public WiFi spots that hopefully have a bit more in place to retain logs.

    They have now realized that the human race is far too stupid for that

    Which oddly enough was way easier to predict.

  9. although personally I wouldn't buy Huawei at this moment, the link you provided did not say anything about Huawei being caught spying. The six agency 'expressed distrust' but I didn't see any mention of Huawei being caught spying.

    now that would be news!

  11. It's like trying to get Bill off the hook by demanding prosecution of everyone who ever got a blowjob.

    well, here at /. we should be safe then.

  12. The Model S sales are also lagging behind the VW e-golf, and the Leaf / Zoe absolutely dominate the industry.

    The model S is a car in a size and price range that doesn't sell nearly as well in Europe as the segment that the Golf, Leaf and Zoe are in. It would be interesting to see what happens when the model 3 gets to be widely available in Europe.
    In fact if I compare number of model S cars on the road to the larger BMW's and Mercedes's where I live in Europe they do remarkably well, especially for an American built car.

    I dunno about you, but I remember when 'trolling' actually meant something. These days, the vast majority of them just sling baseless insults and utter nonsense around, am I right? Seriously, they're not even trying anymore, and they're unfunny to boot. Sad. There used to be an art to it. Now it's about as interesting as a dumpster fire.

    We really should not have outsourced it

  15. Re:What? Missed a word or two? on Elon Musk Pulled Out of Settlement With SEC At Last Minute (cnbc.com) · · Score: 2

    What I meant is the difference between the settlement and what the SEC seeks for in court.
    To me the difference between two years vs being barred from being a director/officer for any publicly traded company is quite big. But I guess this is usual in the US. Probably works well to scare people out of trying your luck in court

  16. Re:Musk is a dreamer not a calculating rational ac on Elon Musk Pulled Out of Settlement With SEC At Last Minute (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Except when the SEC and Musk/Tesla disagree on if the evidence exonerates him. They probably did provide the evidence and just disagree on what that means to the case.
    The fact that the offered settlement is so far from what the SECs demands, suggests to me that the SEC isn't so sure about their case.

  17. Re:Musk is a dreamer not a calculating rational ac on Elon Musk Pulled Out of Settlement With SEC At Last Minute (cnbc.com) · · Score: 3, Interesting

    over a decade ago I got a traffic ticket that was (in my view) bullshit. I didn't take it to court since, as a contractor, the hours lost would have cost me a lot more than the fine. Years later I can still feel pissed about that ticket.

    You're probably right that taking the settlement would have been the rational thing to do. But I do understand him.

    Improvement of battery life on laptops would be nice.

    This.. I have been using Linux on my laptops for over a decade now. The only downside compared to the alternatives for me is battery life.

  24. or in stead of some conspiracy, he's just stressed out. I watched this interview: talking tech with Elon Musk of a few days ago. I don't care about tears, but the way he talks here has a lot of the same signs as people about to burn out from stress. That is not to say he will, lots of people in that state manage to avoid it, but if it was a colleague of mine I'd tell him to take a break.
