  1. Re:What happens when on EU Set To Mandate Speed Limiters In All New Cars (bbc.co.uk) · · Score: 1

    My friends BMW speed warning system often errors when he's on the motorway and drives under a flyover, indicating he's driving way too fast. Imagine the possibilities if this system would be enforced as of now. If anything it will take many, many years before this is actually implemented, perfected and required.

    On the positive side, this could fix overpopulation within a couple of generations. Having hermits that are too fat too work, shop, have sex, ie. function in general, will eventually eradicate them and possibly their entire family trees. That is, when there's so many of them society can't provide the help they need anymore.

    Isn't the general function of lungs exactly that, to suck in gaseous compounds?

    It's cause our tech fobic European lawmakers have no clue about the actual dangers and are just reiterating "facts" without proofs following US guidelines. Esp. note that Kaspersky is labeled "malicious", while we KNOW plenty of US products we use are full of spy-/malware, yet they are not ever mentioned or labeled as dangerous, let alone malicious.

  5. Re:Yes, without success on In the Trump Administration, Science Is Unwelcome. So Is Advice. (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    Cause reasoning with a moronic clown that flips his opinion everytime the wind blows is pretty much impossible. He's made a complete fool out of himself, and the US with it. Wow what a result getting NK/SK in a room. Who says they wouldn't be without Humpty Dumpty Donald? And then there's actual results to achieve. Which he won't.

    In politics, you clean up your own shit first, and only then start pointing fingers towards those with an even bigger shitpile.

    I think you're right, but with an addition: the stupid and/or ignorant people in power. Which are, unfortunately, way too many of them.

    Of course mindless destructive measures should always be favored above diplomatic measures. Right.

  10. 99% of teens age 16 are assholes sometimes. Punishing them for life would almost guarantee them to become assholes most of the time.

  11. Yeah totally agree cause all 16 year olds make great informed decisions, always, which they never regret. Sigh. I bet you always were a conscious little teen weren't you?

  12. Should be Haswell, which is not included in mentioned list (and therefor should recieve an update).

  14. Not really news... on Scientists Explain the Sound of Knuckle Cracking (bbc.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    I've seen numerous results of research regarding this subject at least a decade ago already drawing the same conclusions.

  15. One of them did, all he could utter though was something like "Ken sent me".

  16. People are still using this dinosaur?

  17. Besides above mentioned reasons, it just cannot be healthy in terms of social development to be in rooms full of teenagers where there only source of interaction is chatting in WhatsApp/Instagram/whatever crap these kids are on nowadays. Kinda shocking developments the past few years, especially now that every 10+ year old kid "needs" a smartphone. I'm sure not all of them are doomed but it just cannot not have any effect. I keep finding myself shocked seeing those little heads bent over their phones for hours without saying anything whatsoever.

  18. Ignoring the elephant in the room on President Trump: 'We Have To Do Something' About Violent Video Games, Movies (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 1

    I love how Trump ignores the elephant in the room, and instead goes hunting fleas that may or may not have anything to do with all the broken china.

  19. Re:"Extending computers lives" on Electronics-Recycling Innovator Faces Prison For Extending Computers' Lives · · Score: 1

    That can also be explained as selling for a small fee just to cover his production costs. However the wording in the article does make it sound like more than that ;)

  20. Not high-end anywhere... on 'Razer Doesn't Care About Linux' (gnome.org) · · Score: 1

    Their products may be marketed as such but actual quality is mediocre. Then there's the dreaded accompanying software... .

  21. Re:Abandoned games... on Blizzard Issues DMCA Notice to a Fan-Run 'WoW' Legacy Server (torrentfreak.com) · · Score: 2, Insightful

    They don't offer it because basically *nobody* (i'm sure you'll find a few exceptions here to try and prove me wrong) running a game of any real size offers it. That's not how MMO's work

    They're not going to run separate servers for every patch level, just to accommodate folks that forgot they signed up for a game that was going to be constantly updated.

    Even still, not offering that specific service, however interesting it may be to some, is still their call. I can imagine it may disappoint some people but thus calling it abandoned is pretty silly.

  22. Re:So, how is this forced update thing working out on Microsoft Issues Windows Out-of-Band Update That Disables Spectre Mitigations (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    I recently opted for purchasing an 8.1 license after my bad experiences with W10 in the work environment. It's just a shame that the official MS site no longer supports this... Switching to another OS is not really an option being a Windows developer... I mean it's not impossible but it's quite a hassle.

    So when one 1:10 are pro ISIS/terrorism/etc, you declare a whole country as "terrorist"? In the same respect, western countries are gay, since they have, an average, about 10% gay people? There may be a lot of off shit going on over there, but this kind of generalism is really foolish.
