  1. Re:Public Record is a Leak? on 198 Million Americans Hit By 'Largest Ever' Voter Records Leak (zdnet.com) · · Score: 1

    If you'd read the article (I know, I know) you'd see there is a lot more than just public records in this data, hence the article in the first place.

  2. Streaming is legal in many countries.

  3. Re:dumping the grid on Coal Market Set To Collapse Worldwide By 2040 As Solar, Wind Dominate (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    I bet that sounded super smart in your head! Hahaha!

  4. Well, if the car really is engaged in ride sharing, it is only transporting other people when the driver wanted to go somewhere specific, so its utilisation time is not increased, just the number of passengers it is carrying on these journeys. Hint: Uber isn't ride sharing :)

  5. But Westminster won't fund those programmes, and the EU did, so your argument falls incredibly flat.

  6. Your comment only makes sense if one assumes all people in Dubai are Muslims, and that all Muslims are stuck in the stone ages. As neither is true, your point could do with some work. Try thinking about the actual reality of Dubai - normal people like you and me going about their business. Normal human beings who love and are loved.

  7. Re:Frost Fernch Pots on New Evidence That All Stars Are Born In Pairs (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    We know you're prone to making pointless generalisations of millions of people, so this isn't entirely surprising.

  8. Re:Leftists will bash Trump for this on Trump Orders Government To Stop Work On Y2K Bug, 17 Years Later (bloomberg.com) · · Score: 1

    The result was in the margin of error for most trusted polls, so can we please put this silly argument to bed? :)

  9. Re:Did an Uber Driver Run Over Your Dog? on Trump-Style Tactics Finally Stopped Working For Uber (buzzfeed.com) · · Score: 0

    You know that pointing out "virtue signalling" is itself virtue signalling, right?

  10. Reservoirs flood a lot of land. People, plants and animals live on land. Anyone caring about the environment (which should be all of us) shouldn't be so quick to dismiss efforts to appraise constructions.

  11. Re:What happened next? on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    It didn't help that civil servants were instructed before the referendum not to plan for a brexit.

  12. Re:What happened next? on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    They didn't guide the politicians - they made a demand without reason to do so, based on claims we now know are nonsense, purely for party political reasons, not because of some pressing need.

  13. Re:What happened next? on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Which shows just how little the British public knows about Britain's relationship with the EU and what's happening to Britain as a result of Brexit.

  14. Re:What happened next? on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    Seeing as Britain is a representative democracy, you are not guaranteed a direct say. That's the whole point.

    So yeah - facts, eh?

  15. Re:Bye Theresa on Theresa May Loses Overall Majority In UK Parliament (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    You seem to be claiming to see into the future. That can't be right...

  16. Re:Seems reasonable. on Harvard Pulls Student Offers Over Online Comments (go.com) · · Score: 1

    They beat up Nazis. Nazis beat up the innocent. Your logic only works if you equate Nazis with innocent people.

  17. Re:Some perspective for our non US members... on Tesla Factory Workers Reveal Pain, Injury and Stress: 'Everything Feels Like the Future But Us' (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    What does crossing a border have to do with anything? Europeans don't bounce off their borders - they pass right through, and frequently go on long trips :) Texas being big isn't a shock to anyone, and has nothing to do with this discussion.

    One difference is they have decent train networks as a viable choice. Flying through Germany and France at 200MPH drinking beer is a pretty awesome experience.

  18. Re:LOL Well don't fit your balcony out with a Dock on Rising Seas Set To Double Coastal Flooding By 2050, Says Study (phys.org) · · Score: 1

    You're the guy who doesn't know the difference between sea ice and land ice, so please don't be offended when people take your claims with a grain of salt.

  19. "I don't want to believe this stuff, so here's a guess I made where we don't have to!"

  20. They didn't take Facebook at its word, hence this happening. Legal proceedings take a long time to sort out, and this was sorted out as it should have been. The EU deserves criticism, but this isn't it :)

  21. Re:less than 1mm versus 3mm per year on Climate Change is Turning Antarctica Green, Say Researchers (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    This is a sign that Antarctica is melting. If we waited for the bad things to finish happening instead of tackling them while we still can we won't fix anything. This moss will only make Antarctica warmer, as it has a lower albedo than the ice that used to be there.

  22. Re:Russians, Chinese, Arabs want to know on Any Half-Decent Hacker Could Break Into Mar-a-Lago (alternet.org) · · Score: 4, Funny

    Why would the Russians care? They get invited to the White House to receive the classified information they want - no need for hacking.

  23. Re:Radical atheism does it too! on UK Group Fights Arrest Over Refusing To Surrender Passwords At The Border (theguardian.com) · · Score: 2

    And Mao didn't have a favourite Pokemon, therefor we can safely assume not liking Pokemon will lead to millions of deaths.

  24. Re:It's OK, Someone Else Will Take the UK's Place on British PM Candidate Promises Social Media Crackdown (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    You didn't touch on the broken voting system in the UK which seems to do all it can to ensure this problem isn't fixed.

  25. Re:Law of Unintended Consequences on British PM Candidate Promises Social Media Crackdown (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    Britain just voted to leave the protection of the EU data protection regulations - clearly they don't seem to care too much about this on the whole.
