  1. Re:Watch all the Freedom-loving Brexiters dance! on British PM Candidate Promises Social Media Crackdown (politico.eu) · · Score: 1

    You realise you're fitting the brexiteer/UKIP stereotype wonderfully, right? In these very comments you've demonstrated your lack of understanding of what the EU is, and how you are adamantly against your own best interests if they are not packaged up in a bow of your choosing.

    Classy stuff. And no, I'm not saying this because your opinion is different, but because your opinion is dangerous.

  2. Re:His name gives it away on UK Group Fights Arrest Over Refusing To Surrender Passwords At The Border (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You are such a coward. Did they fix the troubles by naively imprisoning all Christians out of fear, or did the authorities look a bit deeper and actually figure out what was happening?

  3. Re:So in other words on Amazon To Build Homeless Shelter In Its New Seattle Headquarters (cnn.com) · · Score: 1

    So you deciding to not research the number of programs helping homeless men means you can decry any program helping women and/or children. You are arguing from ignorance, and it's incredibly obvious.

    We get it - you hate women. You can stop this now.

    Mental illness is a bitch, and your plan unworkable. Yes, I know you said you'd provide mental illness help, but it takes time and patience to see results, and given the difficulty of many of the cases and the sheer number of them, this will either be incredibly expensive or just end up shuttling broken people to and from jail every couple of weeks, or maybe both.

    I'm sure your intentions are good, but your solution is massively simplistic and woefully naive.

    That's not what this story is about at all...

    You need to read more. You are talking absolute bollocks. I thought Americans were supposed to be brave - why are there so many pussies over there?

  8. Re: Isn't it obvious? on 'Weaponized' Twitter Bots Spread Info From French Campaign Hack (recode.net) · · Score: 1

    Because the Russian hackers are not accountable and often spread malicious falsehoods for political end, and French media is not as broken up as in some places? They're not really comparable...

    They have no border checks with Germany you cretin. You don't seem to have any idea what you're talking about.

    So much bullshit. Sooo much bullshit.

    That is not the definition of hate. I mean, I can see why you'd want to claim it is, as it's great for your argument, but it has no reflection on reality.

  14. Re:Paging Erich Honecker on Facebook Hiring 3,000 To Monitor Videos After Murders, Violence Shown Live (usatoday.com) · · Score: 1

    No, the Stasi did not stop people live streaming murders on their social network.

    Did you get hit in the head or something?

  15. You might disagree with the rules, but the swathes of nutritionists involved in writing them don't share your concerns. You are complaining about solved problems and unfairly ascribing ignorance.

  16. Surfaces are selling well.

  17. Re:Definition of socialism on 'There's No Good Way To Kill a Bad Idea' (qz.com) · · Score: 2

    That's not fascism. You don't seem to understand these words - no wonder you are so confused and angry...

  18. Unless you fell through the map and the bottom of the screen and entered the real world that really has precious little to do with this.

  19. Seeing as you don't know the difference between land and sea ice, it's safe to ignore your comments on this subject, as you have demonstrated your lack of fundamental knowledge.

  20. The same MS which just released a massive update to its linux subsystem in Windows, incorporating all sorts of improvements, in order to appeal to the self same power users you mention?

    I get that you don't like MS. I really do. There is a lot to criticise them for without resorting to making stuff up.

  21. That makes no sense. So what if Edge is running in the background? If it's not doing anything it's not doing anything. Chrome also runs in the background on Windows, so I don't know what your point is, and I'm slowly suspecting you don't either...

  22. Hardware acceleration is definitely up to the browser, and that has a huge impact on battery life and video performance. On my shitty AMD APU machine, Chrome chokes when playing video in the browser. For some reason Edge plays them with full hardware acceleration, removing the tearing and stuttering present in Chrome - with the same video. It's not as simple as you seem to assume it is...

  23. Re:It's taken... how many decades? on Google Plans To Alter JavaScript Popups After Abuse From Tech Support Scammers (bleepingcomputer.com) · · Score: 1

    Dev tools can do all that. You can break when elements change, etc., or have JS breakpoints wherever you want. You can even get a frame-by-frame trace of the app's behaviour should you want.

  24. Because the two are not even remotely comparable. Are you seriously asking why we don't download hundreds of megabytes or a gigabyte or two VM image as opposed to 500KB of JS in a browser?

  25. Re:Rudd? Working on becoming Cameron's successor? on Britain Wants Tech Firms to Tackle Extremism (fortune.com) · · Score: 1

    That's not what the rest of Europe is doing. A lovely scapegoat you've made, but not exactly based in truth. I'm sure you can find a couple of politicians who fit this description, but if you look how they got there and the number of decent politicians also there, your quip falls flat.
