  1. Re:What's happening at Apple? on Apple Deprecates More Services In OS X Server (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    I don't think anyone but a blind fool would have ever said their server offering was one of their advantages.

    Azure/AWS think they also have a little bit of google now too. At least that is what they had a year or so ago.

  3. Re:Most services on the list seem to be FOSS proje on Apple Deprecates More Services In OS X Server (apple.com) · · Score: 1

    you probably should stop now you are starting to look really dumb with a serious lack of knowledge. Windows hasn't used config files in a couple of decades. All the roles you listed are stock standard roles that can be added to a windows server in a couple of clicks from the Server Manager and all provide either a default working config or a step through wizard to preconfigure it.

  4. Well, the product is meant to deal with abnormal circumstances, so that metric may be a bit off the mark.

    $50 million was the initial cost estimate. AU has not revealed the final negotiated price.

    No initial cost estimates by indusry were between $200 million AUD and $250 million AUD from estimates, But the SA government claimed it would be about $150 million and set that amount aside for it. actual number hasn't been published to my knowledge..

  5. They could have put a small communications satellite or a science experiment or thousands of other things that actually had a practical benefit so yes they DID WASTE something, they wasted an opportunity.

    incest and group marriage are something I would never agree too for myself. But I don't give a shit what other people do, why is it so offensive to you that consenting adults are free to do things to each other? if it isn't affecting you or any other non consenting person what does it matter?

    I can understand looking up to see the ISS as being kinda cool. Looking up to see a glowing piece of space junk they wasted millions to get up their! not cool, not even close to cool. Actually it is almost offensive. If they wanted to bring people together then spend it helping people or on something with some worthwhile outcome rather than a piece of junk that will disappear in 2 years.

  8. Re:one-time-use addresses on Deanonymizing Tor: Your Bitcoin Transactions May Come Back To Haunt You (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    Bitcoin isn't really designed for payments full stop. The design lends itself more as an investment avenue as you can't realistically have a transaction system that takes minutes (or more realistically at the moment hours or days to confirm) and costs significant amounts of money for the privilege of a transaction slower than any of the traditional transfer mechanisms

  9. Re:Is this really news? on Tesla Employees Say Gigafactory Problems Are Worse Than Known (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    things going wrong with new processes should be expected. The problem here is Tesla make promises and statements assuming nothing will go wrong. They seem to have missed some basic PR and project management classes.

    No more imaginary than the fiat currency you currently rely on. None of it backed by anything other than faith, and most of it is just a bunch of 1's and 0's in your bank or broker's computer system.

    that is completely false, like it or not fiat currencies are backed by the corresponding government and operate under financial laws of the relevant country.

    I am sure all those reviewing OSS code have nothing but pure altruistic motives. After all if you can't trust the governments of the world then who can you trust!

  14. Re:Well... was the driver lying? on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    autopilot is not advertised as replacing you as the driver, in fact it is explicitly forbidden to use autopilot in such a manner, at this point in time it is purely a driver assist not a driver replace.

  15. Re:Well... was the driver lying? on Tesla Model S Plows Into a Fire Truck While Using Autopilot (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    you just don't seem to get it. autopilot SHOULD NOT be making that decision. You are supposed to make that decision, if you somehow forget to make that decision or got distracted for a moment then Auto Pilot is meant as a backup that might prevent the accident, it is not meant as a replacement for your driving.

    It sounds more of a way to discriminate indirectly based on age or Gender, guessing they are probably in a region that has restrictions in how they can price policies. Email providers will be top heavy with the demographic that found them popular at the time of their inception.

  18. Re:if they have more accidents then that's fair on Admiral Charges Hotmail Users More For Car Insurance (thetimes.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    you will probably find that the email provider you use is more to do with gender and age and hence it doesn't surprise me that different providers would have different risk profiles, HOWEVER I would think if they looked closer at their data they would more than likely find that the demographic is responsible rather than being a Hotmail user.

  19. Re:Can't sell on coinbase on Coinbase Is Making $2.7 Million a Day (bitcoin.com) · · Score: 1

    if they had even an ounce of honesty they would tell Australians that before they made purchases. As it is you only find that out when you try to sell. basically Coinbase is a giant bunch of conartists. I imagine they would have a massive amount of complaints with the financial ombudsman and ACCC by now, surprised really they haven't looked to prosecute them yet.

    that makes you part of the problem, fully attentive is not checking it once a minute. It means watching at all times, you are putting more trust in it than you are supposed to, it should be their to assist and potentially catch something you missed not to be in control while you rest glancing up every minute or so.

    IT ISN'T allowed on the road, The driver must be attentive and in control at all times, the fact that it was left to the autopilot to make the decision was a driver failure and I say this as someone that doesn't like Tesla!

    hardly a fair comparison. Any business has a right to choose what they do or do not sell and are certainly under no obligation to sell a competitors product. That is vastly different then saying you can't use us if you bought something from a competitor and we will actively prevent you from viewing our content because of it. Don't get me wrong, both sides are giant cunts in this saga, but Google is an order of magnitude worse in attacking end users experience.

  25. The reality is you have no real way to know who you are buying from unless you happen to personally know them. I know of 2 people that resell their cards at set times to reduce the chance of being left with a dud due to failed fans, heat damage, aging etc etc. If you read any of their auctions you would think they are just gamers cards who are upgrading or no longer game or simply had extra due to family presents. If you think there is some clever way to spot them, then good fucking luck, no one else has worked out a way.
