  1. I can return things in my country if the manual is wrong or missing. Its only legislation.

  2. Re:Foward Collision Detection Considered Harmful? on Mitsubishi Recalls 68,000 SUVs Over Bad Software (consumerreports.org) · · Score: 0

    Braking longer than necessary on the left lane could be very dangerous on an Autobahn. You could get too slow to change to the right lane before you find a free spot between two trucks. A driver of a much faster car (150+ mph) will not expect someone to drive slower than 55 mph on the left lane when there are no signs of jamming traffic. This should be fixed.

  3. Re:I remember wristwatches on Slashdot Asks: Anyone Considering an Apple Watch 4? (usatoday.com) · · Score: 0

    My wristwatch is truly smart. I never have to charge it, it runs from light, it sets the time on its own, the calendar is perpetual, the non-existent display never shuts down. There is still a long way to go for the modern not yet so smart watches.

  4. No downloads, no streaming on Streaming Accounts For 75 Percent of Music Industry Revenue In the US (engadget.com) · · Score: 0

    I would buy ROM cards with uncompressed DRM free music files and some artwork but for now I have to buy CDs (approx. 100-150€/y).

  5. Better use it for swap on Windows 10 Will Use the Cloud To Free Up Disk Space (arstechnica.com) · · Score: 0

    It would be much better to always have the most possible free RAM available, not?

  6. Your story reminds me of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?... Maybe you can find a job or a few months of occupation outside the US (Canada, Australia, EU). Good luck to you and your family.

    After its lifespan the footprint will be negative, more saved than required. Each nuclear reactor close to me (Brunsbüttel, Brokdorf, Krümmel, Stade) will cost us a billion € to demolish. These 4 billion € will definitely include a good amount of carbon footprint.

    60 m wind turbine with 20 m blades must be a 20 year old one btw.. The wind farm near my village has 16 Vestas V112-3.3 turbines (52.8MW). https://www.holcim.de/de/ueber...

    Nobody was hurt and any wind turbine can be replaced easily. Great tech.

  10. If he went into the school building with a real gun he wouldnt have been arrested, would he?

  11. Driving the wrong way should be legalized but anything else than bumper cars should be forbidden.

  12. Too bad that even if you watch the new DVD 10 times you aren't even close to save the seconds you invested on making the copy.

  14. Problem isn't solved on EU Votes To Ban Bee-Harming Pesticides (theguardian.com) · · Score: 0

    The good thin is that there are as harmful substitutes for the 3 forbidden (only for outdoor use) pesticides. Nothing changed.

    You don't push those around on carts by hand!

    If you turn the carts into autonomously driving ones you have industry 4.0. My preordered e.go life 60 will be built that way. http://e-go-mobile.com/de/mode...

  16. Only idiots buy phones that aren't usable without a case. I want to feel the 750$ in my hand and not the silicone or plastic junk around it. BTW I still use a flip phone.

  17. Re:2% market share is PLENTY to keep it alive. on Microsoft's Windows Phone Platform Is Dead (windows10update.com) · · Score: 0

    Let Microsoft do what it thinks it's right. But I'll keep my flip phone. Perfect form factor and usability. And of course it does what it does without the need of a googleplay, itunes or Microsoft account

  18. Strange business model on Crowdfunded Android Console Ouya Reportedly Seeking Buyout · · Score: 0

    I could never buy a redeem code. What kind of business model is that? Shortly after I backed the project on kickstarter I got screwed by PP. I closed my account there. I don't have a credit card too. Oyua never offered a safe payment method or a retail card. I always thought the must have more than enough other customers if they behave like that. Looks like they are clueless.

    Yeah, right, I understand. But what is the modern part in it compared to a GPS/UMTS toll system? Well, Austrians are modern. The have cameras that can read your number plate before and after a tunnel and if you're too fast during this 5 miles you have to pay hundreds of Euros for it.

  22. Re:Autobahn on Texas Opens Fastest US Highway With 85 MPH Limit · · Score: 0

    Even my girlfriend having her license for just 2 years usually drives 100 mph with her y2001 Fiat Punto. Well, fuel (95 ROZ) costs 1,74 EUR/l today. I usually need 5,8 - 6,3 l/100km when driving max. 65 mph with my Astra Caravan. With a lent Suzuki SV 650 I've lost against a Mercedes E220 at 130 mph (naked bike). But I've never seen an accident happening on the Autobahn on my own and I feel safe at any speed.

  23. Re:Really Germany? on German Gov To Ban Paintballing After Shooting · · Score: 0

    I'm still cool and I haven't voted for these social and christian idiots. If I ever try out paintballing I have to go to the Czech Republic. Mad enough, I've had to go to the Bundeswehr (German Army) and shoot with real ammo. At least there're still some kilometres of the Autobahn without a speed limit. That's something that's still really cool.

    I will even use an OS that is looking like linux at the command line if it fast an reliable. You can even easily customize the text colour.

  25. Privacy issues? on Nine Reasons To Skip Firefox 2.0 · · Score: 0

    It's a great effort to protect unexperienced users bei enabling safe browsing by default. Everone can easily disable it in about:config: browser.safebrowsing.enabled false When you have an extension that isn't compatible with FF2.0 the chance is high that it is no longer developed. Such an extension isn't worth installing anyway. My noia-Theme and the netcraft toolbar were updated for compatibility. My migration is done! I've noticed the memory usage but even with FF1.5 it was never too annoying on my 512MB-RAM System running Ubuntu Warty. FF1.5 and FF2.0 use almost the same gecko engine. I liked it before, I still like it. This guy must be kidding. FF2.0 is no big upgrade but still a nice refinement and worth installing.
