  1. Re:Yay global warming! on Northeast Passage Becomes Viable Trade Route · · Score: 1

    Now that it's going to make a few rich fucks richer I see it as a good thing!

    See, humans were causing global warming on purpose. I knew it!

  2. Re:So she isn't legal? on Youngest Exoplanet Discovered · · Score: 0

    I take it she doesn't even fall under the rule of 'if there is grass on the field play ball?'

    Question.... Do you know it's a 'she'?

    No. TFA says she provided the DOB when she signed up for an IMDB Pro account, believing it would be kept confidential.

    Wonder if she read the TOS.....

    Stay tuned!

  5. Re:What if the defamation is in the link? on Canadian Supreme Court Rules Linking Is Not Defamation · · Score: 1

    If your link, or any other part of the page your link is on, suggests you endorse or support the defamatory page, you could be nailed for libel. It's in the decision.

    Hence the question. Vars compulsive=not and liar=no. I'm wondering what case law will be derived from this, now, before it happens.

  6. Re:A better investment for that $44B: Apple on Ballmer: We're Lucky Microsoft Didn't Buy Yahoo · · Score: 1

    Microsoft already owns Apple stocks. It owns lots of Facebook stock too, and that has grown even more than Apple within the recent years and become one of the most visited sites on the internet.

    Did I miss the FaceBook IPO?

  7. Re:What if the defamation is in the link? on Canadian Supreme Court Rules Linking Is Not Defamation · · Score: 1

    No.

    However, if a post linking to another site itself contains defamatory material, the poster may be liable in a defamation action.

    How about http://www.example.com/john-is-a?compulsive=not&liar=no pointing to a page with derogatory statements? Would that fly?

    They mentioned it in this article. Watch the movie. The car always works off the laser 3d mapper, the GPS just assists as GPS isn't even accurate enough to drive by.

    Crap. I don't know how I missed that. Thank you for pointing it out! Much appreciated, Coren22.

    Google's move? I'm pretty sure it'll be a bewildered gaze followed by a light chuckle.

    Nah.. It'll be something else that will get a very high level of teen-tween interest, making MS' patent yet another dust-gatherer... waiting to strike. One day..... When you least expect it....

  12. Re:The AAP has always been extremely conservative on Doctors Recommend Against TV For Kids Under 2 · · Score: 1

    By after school activities of their own choosing (dance and swimming) and some that we as parents want them to do (mostly religious education). The rest of the time is taken up by homework and of course downtime. TV usually stays off all day on school days mostly because nobody is missing it.

    You're effectively going against what the article originally states. You're paying attention to your kids. You're giving them human interaction. You're also giving them a structure to follow. The article refers to parents who try to let the TV do the teaching. Long version short, you're one of the many 1-offs.

    ...I am glad this robot car takes that decision off my hands yeah? :D

    Oh, and I can't wait for a major solar flare to occur that takes out the navigation backbone very quickly, causing a major pile-up wherever these automated cars exist.

    Nobody mentions that in any article I've read, including all of the subs, now or at any point in the past.
