    Now tell me how to stop a friend or acquaintance from uploading something about me (video, image, or text) and having Facebook have the rights to that.

    That's the problem. On the internet you're as private as the most un-private[1] person who knows you.

    [1] Is there a word for that (in that sense)?

  2. 4K - is that the price?

    Israel has the power to crush their enemies

    By conventional means? Not so sure about that. Last time they ventured into Lebanon it wasn't exactly a walkover.

  5. Zuckerberg has some serious delusions of grandeur. He was in the right place at the right time to pinch someone else's idea. He was able to promote it and make a lot of money out of it.

    That doesn't mean he's an expert on everything under the sun. His opinion on most things is worth no more than the typical slashdotter's and he doesn't know more than the proverbial bloke at the pub.

    P.S. Hey manishs, you fucked up the quotes again.

    Absent an indication to the contrary, "all" totally *is* implied. If I say "pigs are mammals" it in no way implies that some porkers might be reptiles.

  7. I don't get on with dairy so I've never had one, but is it true that they supply forks on request?

    Where did you get that number from? At school we were taught the efficiency per step was about 10% as a rule of thumb.

    Not to be confused with 'doners'. Those are lamb, allegedly.

    How do you know it will? It's quite possible for something to produce revenue for ever and not be profitable.

    Correlation is not causation. It's equally possible that thirty years ago parents at that age were the exception and aspies were regarded as nutters and just sent to play away from the normal kids.

    The virtual buttons are a shitty feature. WTF is this obsessive need to get rid of physical buttons with tactile feedback?

    Cost - the components themselves plus assembling them. It can add up to whole tens of cents!

    As a rule, if it has a touchscreen then two revisions down the line it will only have a touchscreen.

  24. Re: Okay - that was quick. on Michael Flynn Resigns As Trump's National Security Adviser (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I'm curious if and how polls affected voter turnout. I wonder how many voters saw the polls leaning heavily to their side and decided their vote wouldn't matter, a sort of negative feedback loop.

    Some countries don't allow polls to be published from x hours before the voting starts to y hours after it closes.

    Obviously they're all communists, not free, and definitely not number one.

  25. Re: Okay - that was quick. on Michael Flynn Resigns As Trump's National Security Adviser (go.com) · · Score: 1

    I know a little bit about statistics and sampling.

    I suspect the people who run polls know more than a bit.

    I suspect polls measure the popular vote population, not projected electoral college votes based on each and every districting subset

    Most states are winner-takes-all, so I don't see what districts have to do with it. All they need to do is know which state the respondee is voting in. Not rocket science.
