    Wow. You mean, like, we are stardust?

    If that's the one that's a bit like Elite, I had that!

    Even older cars had a clock that wasn't built into the radio.

    My Citroen 2CV didn't.

    It was that slow it had a calendar.

    TY,IHAW...

  4. if Facebook is leaking private data to the client browser

    Would it make a difference? They're leaking it everywhere else.

    Company policy doesn't trump your legal right.

    Tell that to your boss if you live in a right-to-work state.

    there's still plenty of crooks, thieves, rapists and murders driving taxis.

    Bullshit. I've never heard of a taxi driver murding anyone.

    Like bigger type is a bad thing. Weird.

    It spoils the clean, flat look.

    Big type is for old people, it doesn't fit in with the millennials' zoutgeit or something.

  10. Re:They are on Intel Wants PCs To Be More Than Just 'Personal Computers' (engadget.com) · · Score: 1

    I have a box full of old games that I was rummaging in yesterday, and among them are some that say "Dual format: PC & Mac". They sure as fuck wouldn't run on a Commodore 64 or an Acorn/BBC, despite both of those being computers and decidedly un-corporate.

    I got a call from them when there was not one computer running Windows in the house. I was really tempted to string them along - "No, I can't find C:. Is it somewhere in /usr?" but while wasting their time I'd be also wasting my own.

  12. Re:Constant change and an unsure future are stress on YouTube's Top Creators Are Burning Out and Breaking Down En Masse (polygon.com) · · Score: 1

    I get what you're saying - sort of use it as publicity for something else. But on the other hand, it's not far off this, which seems like a way for cheapskates to get stuff for nothing.

  13. I was thinking along similar line - most of the stuff on youtube is like public access TV (or whatever it is/was called) - the thing that Wayne's World was on. Amateur hour.

  14. You're referring to the content creators as "youtubes"? So are we internets?

    In any case, yourubes might be more accurate.

  15. Re:Capitalists no more? on Trump Orders a Lifeline For Struggling Coal and Nuclear Plants (nytimes.com) · · Score: 2

    you have some nice juicy targets to hit to take out all the power generation in the country fairly quickly if you are solely nuclear.

    Right, because coal powered plants are so small you can hide them in a shed.

    I have no idea who I will vote for in 2020

    You're assuming there'll be an election in 2020. Well, there's something to be said for being positive...

    any more than you can convince a climate change denier that climate change is an illusion

    I would have thought that's trivially easy. In fact it requires no effort at all.

    You aren't. Reading comprehension is a bit of a prerequisite, I'm afraid.

    Have you even tried? Occasionally my Linux desktop goes all Helen Keller and I use JuiceSSH to log in & kill whatever's causing it. Even that - thirty characters total, taking two minutes at most - is painful on the itty bitty screen and virtual keyboard, but I'm too lazy to walk 20 feet to the lounge and do it from my wife's lappie or get mine out & fire it up.

  23. Do you have a problem with a database of every Muslim in America or every Jew, or everyone who's gay?

    Not if they send the names of everyone on list 1 to everyone on the other two, and so on.

    That'd make some mighty fine television.

  24. In you[sic] fantasy world, you want a free site which costs billions to run given you to free, ad-free.

    It can show ads without using any of my personal data t all. Like TV, radio and newspapers have always done.
