  1. Re:So, Tim, how do they "follow" you? on Tim Cook Says Ads That Follow You Online Are 'Creepy' (cnet.com) · · Score: 1

    Information gathering goes both ways. From the summary, we can tell that Tim Cook does not block third-party cookies, and does not use an ad blocker.

    It's illegal to vote more than once.

    "Hand-stamped"? Like that adds *ANY* more value than machine-stamped? It's still a STAMP for God's sake!

    You're wrong.

  10. Back in '85 or '86, Macintosh users didn't have their computers connected to the internet to receive updates. How did the compilers and apps "suddenly stop working"?

  11. Don't search by model name/number. Instead, find your CPU's cpuid code and search the document for that.

    A BIOS update would certainly be nice, but it's not necessary. The OS can apply microcode updates (both windows and linux) during boot time. Also, these microcode updates don't survive a power-off event. There is no flash memory on the CPU. The OS would need to apply the microcode on every boot, which is what it does.

  14. Re:Arm yourself on Update: Possible Active Shooter Reported at YouTube HQ (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    If there is a shooter nearby, hide behind an armed police officer. They're usually armored, so they're good cover, and if the shooter wants to shoot you, they have a greater chance of hitting the officer who will have no problem using deadly force.

    At least, that's what I do in Diamond City when playing Fallout 4.

    Can you? OK, cars are now banned, and of course you're going to have to ban all motor vehicles in order to avoid loopholes. Now that rapid transportation no longer exists, everyone in your area will quickly realize that food cannot get to them fast enough to keep them alive. There will be riots and looting for food, and since you have banned alcohol, people will be really uptight about it. Citizens will start using guns to defend what little food they have. Now look at what you have done.

    So, what you're saying is that American car makers cannot make efficient, clean cars unless there is a law that requires them to? I don't know if I believe that.

  20. Re:numb to actual danagers on Coffee Requires Cancer Warning, California Judge Rules (cnbc.com) · · Score: 1

    That's one of the possible effects. I'm concerned that this may lead to another effect. After the warning labels on coffee are required, then uneducated people might stop (or avoid drinking it). This will have a direct effect on sales. Coffee companies will try to regain their original customer base by offering coffee that isn't roasted at all, or is maybe prepared with other chemicals, in order to avoid the labeling. That drink might actually be MORE dangerous than the coffee that we all know and love.

  25. What if Facebook doesn't technically "do business" in the UK? Suppose they don't sell adverts to the UK, but still allow UK users to log in and post for free? Is that still "doing business"?
