  1. Re:Charging the target on California Man Sentenced To 20 Years In Deadly Kansas 'Swatting' (fox4kc.com) · · Score: 1

    He gave out the wrong address knowing that something could happen to the person living there. Thats highly irresponsible. He didn't have to misdirect or evade, he could have given him nothing.

  2. Re: Sound's like a good thing on China Bans 23 Million From Buying Travel Tickets as Part of 'Social Credit' System (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    Blasphemey laws where abolished in 2008 stop spreading nonsense.

  3. Re:They seem shady on Microsoft Fights Fake News With NewsGuard Integration in Its Mobile Edge Browser (pcworld.com) · · Score: 1, Informative

    You missed out https://www.dailykos.com/ from your list. A left-wing site. Don't you care about transparency?

  4. Re:VR tech was not ready. on Imax is Shutting Down Its VR Business, Closing Remaining Three VR Centers in Q1 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Headsets are not heavy, the lenses don't constanly fog up or get dirty (they fog up for maybe a minute when you start using them) and a single wire going to the small unit next to my PS4 is a non issue for most games. Why do people who have no experience with VR feel the need to constantly chime in on its supposed failings?

  5. Re:VR tech was not ready. on Imax is Shutting Down Its VR Business, Closing Remaining Three VR Centers in Q1 (variety.com) · · Score: 1

    Nonsense, I wear glasses and use PSVR on a regular basis. Why do people who have no experience with VR feel the need to constantly chime in on its supposed failings?

  6. Re:The problem isn't precision. on Food Taste 'Not Protected By Copyright,' EU Court Rules (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    With music a recording isn't going to change no matter how many copys you make of it, but with food or drink the flavour of each item you produce can vary significantly. Take beer for example, the water from the area of each brewery can alter the flavour quite a bit, the Guinness you drink may taste different to the Guinness I drink and so on. Which particular flavour would be copyrighted, all of them? What if the water in an area changes over time, just how often would a flavour copyright need to be updated?

  7. Re:Considering the atrocious options in the USA .. on AT&T To Cut Off Some Customers' Service in Piracy Crackdown (axios.com) · · Score: 1

    Americas internet services are10-15 years behind the UK (which is pretty average compared to the rest of the world). Data caps and high prices caused by a lack of competition are causing the US to slip further and further behind with no solution in sight.

  8. Re:As I say on all these stories ... on 'Seven Dirty Words' Restriction Policy Lifted from .US Domain Name Registrations (circleid.com) · · Score: 1

    There are no offensive words, only offensive intent. If I said "You are a disgrace to humanity" you would rightly be offended, despite me not using any "offensive" words. If I said "You're fucking awesome!" You wouldn't be offended, unless you happen to have an irrational fear of "offensive" words.

  9. Re:Plenty of children using parents money.. on Fortnite is Generating More Revenue Than Any Other Free Game Ever (recode.net) · · Score: 2

    I think you mean G.I. Joe.

  10. Re:Wipe phone?? on Apple Refutes Hacker's Claim He Could Break iPhone Passcode Limit (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Rotten to the core you might say.
