    1) It's not the UK, it's Canada.
    2) It's not Canada, it's Quebec.

    It wouldn't surprise me if extortion was legal there, as long as it was done in French.

    Some part of "buy the car outright" giving you trouble?

    Clearly not, or how would the editors do their work?

    But according to Forrester you can disable anything via GPS, and cause it to explode too.

  8. Asp-hole on Dealership Remotely Disables A Car Over A $200 Fee (www.cbc.ca) · · Score: 3, Funny

    That's like saying you can kill an elephant with a rolled up newspaper if you tape the newspaper to a rifle.

  9. Re:Hmmm ... not so new ... on In Our Cynical Age, No One Fails Anymore -- Everybody 'Pivots' (nytimes.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm pretty sure this was being used in engineering parlance at least 30 years ago to describe "this or that" choices in a process that didn't need to be made yet.

    It's meant an actual physical turning doohickey for a long time. Cannon which could traverse through a decent arc, as opposed to in a fairly fixed direction, were called pivot guns, for example.

    Or in the military, advancing in a different direction.

  11. Does it matter? on Google Unveils ARCore, Its Answer To Apple's ARKit (fastcompany.com) · · Score: 3, Insightful

    Does it matter? They'll probably discontinue it within a year.

  12. Re:Entirely on Popular YouTube Artist Uses AI To Record New Album (theverge.com) · · Score: 1

    It's just like how "literally" now means "exponentially".

  13. My usual watering holes were not showing it (though they will often do other PPVs). Reasons varied between the cost to them and security concerns.

    Terrusts? Getting hacked? Or drunk paddies?

  14. Seen this on A Game You Control With Your Mind (nytimes.com) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Seen this on ST:TNG.

    Didn't turn out well.

    But it can't upload your brushing stats to your twitbook timeline so you can receive helpful reminders from targeted dentists!

    Your hand and wrist naturally glide left-right.

    Are you using a mouse from 1983? I can't remember the last time I saw one without a scrollwheel.

    You're totally right. If they're rich, it's because Jesus wants them to be. Perhaps they should just be allowed to buy the best jobs for their stuck-up brats?

  23. The cultural biases of IQ tests - all IQ tests - are very well documented, and have been for a century.

    Your info is a little out of date. No reputable IQ test in the last few decades has had anything like the infamous regatta question.

    I use Firefox ESR with a classic theme. Hot seen any changes to it for years.

    You're not very observant, then. Percentage zoom indicator. What's that there for? There are two zoom sizes I care about - too big and too small, and it takes up a lot of space on a small screen. Refresh, reader view (whatever that is) & back button all tied to the URL when they used to placeable wherever you like. Fitt's law, you cunts.

  25. or write your own operating system

    That's what *you* should have done instead of breaking one that was working fine, you kraut asshole.
