  1. Re:Good can we ban all street lights now? on Night Being 'Lost' To Artificial Light (bbc.com) · · Score: 2

    Wow, never come to Canada, buddy. There's lights on most of the highways, but other than that you're on your own with your car headlights.

    Use the high beams when there's nobody ahead of you (both ways), otherwise learn how to switch between regular and high beams. It's common courtesy.

    Even if they were 22 real million comments posted by 22 million different persons, not everyone lives close to a Verizon store and not everyone has the time to go to the protest.

    I know I signed a petition to that effect through openmedia, I think, even though I'm in Canada. The reason being that if something moronic like that passes in the USA, it could spell trouble if Canada follows this insanity.

    And they made a minor update to it in June 2017, too. Sure, going from 1.6GHz to 1.8GHz was not much of an update, but still.

  6. Let's go with "I missed the part where Tencent owns Riot".

    Yeah, that's what happened.

  7. Sometimes I make stupid posts by design, sometimes it happens by mistake! It's it wonderful?

    The general public is starting to be anti-science, the USA is the land of the ignorant where being smart is shunned upon.

    In the meantime, Germany and Russia will make super-soldiers while Japan makes cute sexy catgirls.

    FDA, this is a private endeavour not involving the public at large.

    Unless/until you make something that goes viral even if it was not your intention to do so. Then it involves the public at large, maybe even the whole planet.

    I can upgrade all your JPEG porn to high-quality, non-lossy PNG... for a price.

  13. Apple only cares about the Canadian 20 dollars bill? That's weird.

  14. Are they really? Damn. And here I thought I was a reverse-racist for thinking some asian women were more beautiful than most caucasian women.

  15. There's one more crime here: using JPEG instead of PNG.

    So people in China play LoLaHoK instead of LoL?

    Has Riot Games tried to sue the company that made LoLaHoK?

  23. In the end, the company plowed ahead, figuring that creating a speaker would give customers another reason to stay loyal.

    You want customers to stay loyal?

    WHAT. THE. FUCK.

    You fucking, clueless idiots.

    Start by putting back a few USB 3.0 type-A ports on your computers. USB C may be the future but USB-A is still in wide use today.

    Put back user-accessible RAM slots in your computers. We're not all made of money and can't afford to pay your over-inflated RAM price at the same time we buy your expensive computers.

    Put back user-accessible SATA ports (or M.2, whatever) so we can upgrade our storage drives ourselves in a few years.

    Stop trying to make your laptops thinner at the price of making 0.2mm thinner yet much inferior keyboards that jam all the time and have a defect rate much higher than the older models.

    You want people to stay loyal to Apple? Upgrade the Macbook Air display to 1080p. Put a 7th or 8th generation intel CPU in it. Upgrade the max RAM to 16GB (it's a thin laptop and AFAIK there's no LPDDR3 SODIMMs, so no slots is a given). Don't mess with the keyboard or the ports. Don't increase the price. Done, you'll sell millions of them.
