  1. Re:Another UN Image Gaffe on Saudi Arabian Textbook Shows Yoda Joining The UN (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    You have got to be joking. Don't you remember the fuss made about that shirt?

  2. Re:Drain this f&ing swamp on Governments Turn Tables By Suing Public Records Requesters (apnews.com) · · Score: 1, Funny

    You sound like you hate capitalism and free markets!

  3. Re: Impact on cost? on Amazon Starts Charging For Cloud Computing Resources By the Second (amazon.com) · · Score: 1

    Depends how it rounds, doesn't it?

  4. Don't overload her on Saudi Arabian Textbook Shows Yoda Joining The UN (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    Let's try and teach her the difference between big letters and small ones before getting into the complex stuff, shall we?

  5. For the benefit of American readers on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 1

    Find a map of the world. Find your country on it. Now go down. Keep going down, through the thin windy bit. Stay on the right hand side. Keep going along that side till you come to a big bit that bulges out to the right. Go rightwards across the blue stuff and you'll come to Africa. If it has a hole that matches the bulge you just left from, you're in the right place. Now go up the left coast and around a bit until you come to a little narrow bit of sea. Above that is Spain, mostly.

  6. Re:Would the Rust programming language help? on ARM TrustZone Hacked By Abusing Power Management (acolyer.org) · · Score: 1

    Could it be stopped by making appropriate amendments to the Code of Conduct?

  7. Re:Nazi on Saudi Arabian Textbook Shows Yoda Joining The UN (bbc.com) · · Score: 1

    you say your not racist i guess that word means something different in canada

    That word? You mean "your"? It apparently means something different here, that's for sure.

  8. Re:Atlantic? Pacific? WTF on Microsoft and Facebook Just Built a 4,000-Mile Cable Across the Pacfic Ocean (popularmechanics.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    I think it's to do with the Earth's rotation. In the Atlantic the data is moving with the spin, whereas in the Pacific it's against it, or something.

    Obviously this doesn't apply in Australia.

  9. Absolutely not on Are Companies Overhyping AI? (hackaday.com) · · Score: 2

    Not at all. No, no, no, no, no. Not even a little bit round the edges.

    Oh, alright then, yes.

    Bullshit. By definition you can't secede from something that you're not already part of.

    Spain doesn't want Catalonia to succeed

    On the subject of succeeding, you fail it!

  13. Re:This is the slippery slope on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 1

    It used to be that any company who deigned to offer communication services to the public understood itself to do so on a non-discriminatory basis as to the ideological content of that communication.

    Was this before the age of media barons - like William Randolph Hearst, Silvio Berlusconi, and Rupert Murdoch - or after?

  14. Quebec leaving is not as simple as the separatists have preached.

    It rarely is, is it?

    Why yes, Britain, I did glance at you.

  15. Has anyone done a study on this? on Experian Criticized Over Credit-Freeze PIN Security and 'Dark Web' Scans (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It seems that you get organisations (I use that word deliberately, to include private sector and government) where once in a while somebody drops the ball and there's a bit of a balls-up but they fix it in good order, learn the lessons and move on.

    Then there are others that lurch from one crisis into two more, like Hobbes' Leviathan made of Mr Bean clones.

  16. Is a campground hsot? Do they sing that "doo-dah doo-dah" song?

  17. Re:Not smart, but it is right on Spain's Crackdown on Catalonia Includes Internet Censorship (internetsociety.org) · · Score: 2

    Why is that ironic? The Nazis were on the same side as Franco. They sent troops and aircraft - the Condor Legion - to help him in the civil war.

    "Use of the two logos (the âoeBMWâ logo, and the âoeMâ logo) would confuse the public as to who is actually behind the services coming from Technosport. It gives the impression that Technosport are official partners of BMW AG, and considering they are not, takes unfair advantage of BMWâ(TM)s reputation."

    "the defendant's mark is likely to cause confusion in the minds of consumers about the source or sponsorship of the goods or services offered under the parties' marks [...] In addition to claiming likelihood of confusion, a trademark owner may claim trademark "dilution," asserting that it owns a famous mark and the use of your mark diminishes the strength or value of the trademark owner's mark by "blurring" the mark's distinctiveness or "tarnishing" the mark's image"

    This. Somebody builds a perfectly good Tom Sawyer raft which is fine - until it gets extended, enhanced and fuck knows what, bit by bit, into an aircraft carrier.
